Convenor Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The Rite What a pile of pish!. Wasted almost 2 hours on this last night. I say almost 2 hours as the exorcism of Anthony Hopkins towards the end is (unintentional) comedy gold 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Hobo With A Shotgun. Tremendous fun. Following the Grindhouse and Machete form with being ridiculous. Wasn't a fan of the Abbey actress and her speech was pretty rank but Rutger Hauer was phenomenal as the Hobo. 7/10 Cabin in the Woods. Really good. Not your standard horror flick, there was a lot of nonsense thrown in which give it a light-hearted side which was nice. It was pretty good up until the third act when they started revealing shit, then it got a bit shite. When all the lifts opened and the monster came out, that was awesome. Would've loved to have seen the robot or massive bat be the actual monster stalking the group. 8/10 Edited April 13, 2012 by forehead7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I see views on battleship are very 50/50 from what i have seen online, everyone seems to love it or hate it. But agree with you Gman one of best films i have seen this year so far. Ticked all the boxes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The Towering Inferno ( 1974 ) I don't imagine there's many who haven't seen or heard of this, but for the uninitiated, this is a disaster epic from the 1970s. Bunch of people trapped on the top floor of a 140 floor building. Fire breaks out on level 81. Things get harder as the night goes on. So yeah, not the most original of plots you're likely to come across, but an excellent cast ( who are excellently cast in their roles as well ) helps us as we meet a LOT of characters in the early going. Most of which play their own small part over the course of the 150 minutes of the movie. Richard Chamberlain stands out as the electrician who was ordered to cut corners and therefore caused the madness. We don't see nearly enough of him. There's a lot of nasty moments as well to add to it. The running time might be a bit long, but I can think of worse ways to spend my time. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessies long lost ghost Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 God what a shite film. Hated it. It had the potential to be a great film but I thought it was distinctly average. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Going to see Cabin in the woods on sunday so wont click the spoiler, though i really want to. It wasn't a major spoiler and I sorta suspected it would happen but was definitely something cool, the moment would be even more great if you didn't know or didn't even think it'd happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Zulu (1964) I really wanted to like this, the premise is good - a battle against the odds, but sadly the delivery is let down by some of the worst over-acting not done by Nicolas Cage. Most of the battle deaths are embarrassingly ham, with special effects which would have looked shit in the 40s! It is made up for Michael Caine showing everyone else how to act, although why it's "Introducing Michael Caine" when he first had a credited role in 1956... and the stampede scene which was hilarious! It's passable, but not by much... 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 When I commented on Ryan Gosling before, I hadn't seen Drive. I was just commenting on what I've seen before. I felt I had better get that sorted. Drive ( 2011 ) Might as well start with the man himself. I don't agree with those who see him as "awkward". His character isn't the type to care how he is around others. The correct word for it is "intense". Even the word "scary" at times probably suits. Ryan Gosling plays the role to utter perfection. Some class backup from Bryan Cranston, and Ron Perlman who we don't see CLOSE to enough of. The climax is a bit underwhelming. I've seen a lot of people say it makes sense. Well it does. But it's still underwhelming. An otherwise fabulous piece of film making though. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caleyjaggi Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Battleship: action packed, funny utter nonsense but brilliant at the same time. Also Brooklyn Decker looking smoking. Loved it. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTON Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Shadow of the Vampire (2000) A film about the making of the German classic Nosferatu, starring well known actors like John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier, Cary Elwes and Eddie Izzard. Great idea, very similar in concept to the brilliant Ed Wood... but with utterly horrific delivery! I did like the idea of Schreck actually being a vampire... but it was so badly done that the fantastic storyline didn't really work! 3/10 Edited April 15, 2012 by SaltyTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11thHour Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) The Vow 1/10. Utter, utter shite. I always make the missus sit through my films so thought I'd repay the favour and I'm glad I don't do it very often. This thing was chedball city and filled with terrible acting from every party. I gave it a 1 as Rachel McAdams is lovely and ye get to see her in her undercrackers. Edited April 14, 2012 by 11thHour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Serendipity (2000) This is totally a woman's film, but it stars John Cusack and I was bored so gave it a go on Netflix. Ashamed to say, I rather enjoyed it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Shame A movie about a sex addict trying to overcome (ahem) his addiction whilst also having to deal with his sister (played by the delectable Carrie Mulligan). Not a bad film but not great either. I'd say it's one of those films you would watch once and probably never again. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm fairly sure that's the relevant film) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
