donnie Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Vanilla sky - 8 out if 10. Really underrated movie perhaps due to the cruise hate. He was brilliant in this movie as was cruz. Thor-1 out of 10. **** woeful. How adults enjoy rubbish like this I will never understand. Enemy at the gates - 6.5 out of 10 - decent movie, I enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I agree about Thor ^. I don't understand it either. Just dont watch Captain America... it's literally a 0.5/10 type film. Terrible. Watched The Iceman last night. Thought it was good, would have been better as a TV series though, moved too fast.

Chindie Posted August 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) First clip of Guardians of the Galaxy - unlikely to last long and not the greatest quality, but the entire gang is on show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZsCNY_j2fo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yHL9ygaRJ4 It's going to be daft. Perhaps brilliantly so. EDIT - re-upped, unfortunately in 2 bits... Edited August 12, 2013 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Watched The Hunter, with Willem Defoe in the lead role and thought it was a pretty good film. It's not an action movie at all - in fact it's a slow burning but beautifully shot film set in the wilds of Tasmania, as 'The Hunter' seeks the last Tasmanian Tiger for a 'pharmaceutical' company. Sam Neil features too, complete with his original Aussie accent! Also watched Elite Squad 2 - Enemy Within - just as good as the first installment!

CVByrne Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Here at The Ticket we try to avoid underestimating our distinguished readership. But we are willing to bet that no human being possesses the imaginative power to sufficiently lower his or her expectations to anticipate the sheer laziness of this putrid ensemble comedy. If you’ve seen the original Grown Ups (a particularly large hit here in Ireland), then you may be prepared for the baseness of the exercise. It will come as no great surprise, for example, that the film begins with a moose urinating in Adam Sandler’s face (not very funny, but certainly deserved). The Neanderthal sexual politics will also be familiar to Grown Ups veterans: a scene during which the girls ogle a fitness instructor makes it “okay” for their husbands to leer disgustingly at a lithe dancer. The first film (in what I dearly pray will not become a trilogy) also introduced us to a take on family life that tries to reconcile utter conformity with a rampant disgust at the compromises that marriage and childrearing require. In short, you probably think you know how low the film-makers are prepared to sink. Trust me. You have no conception of their vaulting ambitions in the field of conspicuous underachievement. Grown Ups 2 plays like the result of an experiment to discover if it is possible to write a film in less time than it takes to watch the finished entity. You know how sequels are supposed to go. Maybe the four idiot friends and their four idiot wives will be forced to spend time in a haunted house. Perhaps Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade and Chris Rock will find a suitcase of money and squabble themselves into paranoid lunacy. Nope. They just drive around their awful neighbourhood and allow various pointedly unamusing things to happen. High-brow Nepalese films about yak herders are more at home to tightly structured plot. They also tend to be funnier. And less boring. And livelier. Oh, look. Just don’t go and see this terrible, terrible film. Is that clear?

CVByrne Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Adam Sandler's films have grossed over $3billion. He has done 2 good movies in his career. Only 2. The superb Punch Drunk Love and of course Happy Gilmour which he's been living off since that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted August 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just watched Dredd, enjoyed it but I do feel that it should have been longer, there was probably good scope for at least another 30 mins in there, its not like the plot was that complex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Happy Gilmour isn't even that good, not a patch on Caddyshack Caddyshack is better I agree. But Happy Gilmour still was enjoyable back when it first came out. Punch Drunk Love is the only excellent movie he's been in and that is mostly down to the genius of Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
