sergie's no1 fan Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Was in a Richard Pryor/ 80s film mood this weekend. Brewsters Millions. 8.5/10 . Superb film. My dad recommended Stir Crazy to watch after that, he said it was hilarious. I disagree. Decent film but was expecting more laughs 5/10. Halfway through Caddy. Switched off for the closing ceremony, waste of time!. This film is pretty dire though, not desperate to watch the rest of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Nooka Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa 7/10 Finally got round to seeing this and I enjoyed it enough. It had some pretty good laughs and passed a couple of hours....and was only a fivver on DVD. It's worth watching for the septic tank scene alone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The Waterboy Quite enjoyable fare. It's easy to forget that there was a time that Adam Sandler movies were actually not bad. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Watched Flith tonight....good film overall, the cutaway bits where it showed his wee brother and aw the folk in animal masks were creepy as f**k, especially the pig. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Boyhood 7/10 I liked this mostly, I think Linklater charted Mason's journey from 6-18 sensibly and non-judgementally. I know his mum was a dumbo who always shacked up with utter p***ks, but that's dramatic licence and I won't quibble about that. Only thing I didn't like was Mason at 16-18 when he's a proper pretentious chump, "do we seize the moment or does the moment seize us?", proper Dawsons Creek fanny. Liked it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed Donner Hoagie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Watched "West of Memphis" about the Memphis 3. Was good, can't believe it took 18years to get them put the clink 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Believe Brian Cox plays Sir Matt Busby who coaches a boys team. It filled an hour and a half but wasn't the best 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Was in a Richard Pryor/ 80s film mood this weekend. Brewsters Millions. 8.5/10 . Superb film.

Switched off for the closing ceremony, waste of time!. This film is pretty dire though, not desperate to watch the rest of it. Stir Crazy has dated terribly, but its still one of my favourite films. The scene with Pryor crying after being put in the cell with Grossburger always makes me laugh. Never heard of Caddy, but if you mean Caddyshack then you should have watched it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Watched "West of Memphis" about the Memphis 3. Was good, can't believe it took 18years to get them put the clink And IIRC, when it became undeniable that they hadn't killed the kids, the authorities made them admit to the crimes they didn't commit before they'd release them. Stunning stuff. The Paradise Lost documentaries are worth a look - not for being good documentaries, just for the case background, which beggars belief. You'll never want to hear Metallica again by the end, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Noah - tepid adaption of the biblical fable by Darren Aronofsky. I'm never sure of the point in rehashing stories that everybody's familiar with, and Noah doesn't give any answers. The whole thing's very bland, even the filmmakers' additions, and it drags horribly in the second half. It feels that there's some preaching going on, with the portrayal of the descendents of Cain inviting comparison to modern day man, which (if deliberate) is laughable and utterly hypocritical. But the main crime is just that it's all very dull. Not sure why Emma Watson's getting all the hate for this, BTW - she seemed like she was phoning it in just as much as everyone else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Latest Planet of the Apes Installment. Nowhere near as good as folk are making out. pretty standard fare and the CGI is pish. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Last Broadcast - no-budget found footage film, pre-Blair Witch and one of the earliest in the genre. A documentary film-maker attempts to uncover the truth behind the murders of a small film crew during a live webcast of their public access show. Apparently this movie cost $900 to make, and it does have that student film look to it, including some understandably stiff performances. However, it does a better job than most in managing to keep the viewer's attention, as the narrative gradually works towards the discovery of what happened on the night in question. The final ten minutes sees the film jarringly switch to a different style, which does give the jolt that the makers were looking for, but the ending sadly peters out into nothingness. Still worth a look, but there's the nagging sensation that it could've been turned into something much better. Oh, and try not to think about the technical challenges of making a live webcast in 1995 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2 Family film I watched with my 2 kids tonight. Wasn't as good as the 1st film but the kids seemed to enjoy it. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Have watched it numerous times over the years and Stir Crazy (9/10) still looks great to me with some of the best comedy/farce moments in film. Strangely enough, I had cause to go on YouTube a few days ago to find Grossburger's epic rendition of Birmingham Jail.

Savage Henry Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Watched two movies on the plane the other day. First, The Lego Movie. I rather enjoyed it, although I stopped trying to make sense of it about half way through. 6/10 And Sound City, the documentary Dave Grohl "directed" about the recording studio of the same name. It was interesting enough, occasionally insightful, but becomes self indulgent towards the end. 5/10. One for musicologists rather than the casual fan. Dave Grohl does come across as a thoroughly decent chap though. Edited August 5, 2014 by Savage Henry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
