Alan Murray Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) We have one for books and music so it’s about time we have one for films. Here are the films I have seen recently. War horse 7/10 Great story but don’t think it Spielberg’s finest hour to be honest. Don’t think it has much chance at the Oscars. Descendants 7/10 Well acted drama, slow burning but not sure there is enough there to take best film at the Oscars. Real steel 6/10 Entertaining film with an excellent performance Hugh Jackman. Predictable and cliché ridden however it pleasantly passes a few hours. The thing 6/10 A Pre-sequel to one my favourite films and does a decent job. The poor acting does let it down though. Moneyball 8/10 Excellent brad pit movie about baseball. Edited January 20, 2012 by Alan Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky jag Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Super 8 (7/10) JJ Abrams sort of unnofficial Cloverfield sequel, decent enough. Sort of mix of The Goonies, Stand by Me and, well, Cloverfield. Quite nostalgic-set in the 80s, about a group of teenagers whose town becomes the site of strange goings on after a train crash. Green Hornet (2/10) possibly worst superhero movie I've ever seen (and I've seen Batman & Robin), with Seth as funny as a boot in the balls Rogen hugely unconvincing in a leading man role.

alx Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'll second super 8 that was good. Okay for weans as well. Everyone should get The Guard dvd. Top class film, really funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 The Guard is really funny would definitely recommend that one. Watched kill list last night. It must be the most F****d up film I have ever watched. I have no idea if I enjoyed it or not. Gave it to my pal who after watching it told me to burn it.

Jaggernaut Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Brigsby Bear : Really enjoyed it. Had no idea what it was about, and when it started I thought it was Sci Fi.... ended up with big smiles all round. Spinal Tap: Finally got around to watching the whole movie. Some hilarious moments!

Jaggernaut Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Anybody seen Bohemian Rhapsody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 So, I'll answer my own question. Saw it last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Attempts to portray the members of Queen could have been disastrous, especially onstage, but the director and actors pulled it off as well as anybody could, I reckon. The film accurately illustrates Freddie's traincrash lifestyle and the contrast with the three "sensible" others. The live scenes were pretty brilliant, though whenever I see live 70s/80s rock band concerts these days I can't prevent intruding memories of Spinal Tap!

Jaggernaut Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Went last night to see "Stan and Ollie," and really came away feeling good, having watched a nice, non-violent, non-sexy, non-deafening, gentle account of the last months of the career of the great Laurel and Hardy. It also raised a few chuckles. John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan both excellent in their roles as Ollie and Stan. And I got to learn a bit more about their history.

Jaggernaut Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Godzilla: King of Monsters. Tons of explosions, earth tremors as the monsters' feet stomp the ground and knock over skyscrapers, aircraft and submarines (and everyone inside them) incredibly surviving after being picked up and spun or thrown around by monsters, cheesy dialogue throughout, and some useless sub-plots. But the monsters are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
