the_eristic Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Watching the Judge Dredd rewhatever. Can't stop laughing. It's every bit as funny as the Sly version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Watched Parker last night - another remake of Point Blank/Payback etc etc Not too bad for a Statham movie, uttterly predictable but easy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Road to Perdition is also based on a comic (itself inspired by a manga). And is brilliant. For me road to perdition is the best film of the 00's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 the imposter really good, some of it is unbelievable, its far more crazy than I anticipated, asks a lot of questions, cant decide if its all because they were that desperate, that stupid or if its something a whole lot darker... also really unsure what to think of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 There's as much pretentious drivel in here as anything else. Absolutely. People who like comic movies "not being proper movie fans" what a laughable comment. I'm with you on Dredd, I'd like a sequel where you get to see more of MC1, but I'd be very shocked if it ever happens. How much did Dredd lose exactly?

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 about $10m I think, but it supposedly recovered it from great dvd / blu ray sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to watch were the millers tomorrow, generally good reviews and it has Jennifer Aniston in just her scuds Edited August 25, 2013 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Rented This Is 40 and End Of Watch this weekend. This Is 40 was pretty good. Classic Paul Rudd film and billed as the sort of follow up to Knocked Up. If you liked that, you'll like this one. End Of Watch was great to be honest, even if the ending was slightly unbelievable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 yeah I agree, IMO the worst thing about OHF is that it reminded me of how DH used to be before it went 12a and cut all the violence and swearing out, amazing how it completely neutered the series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Django unchained - 6.5 out of 10 - very overrated. Was decent but loses its way in the last hour. I found it quite boring in parts. Inglorious bastards was much better. Disappointing. Manhattan - 8 out of 10 - classic woody Allen romantic comedy. Fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommended This is war - 2 out of 10 - typical Hollywood bollocks. Tom hardy is better then this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Watched Hobo with a Shotgun last night, it was so over the top and low quality it made it good! I have to say it's the most enjoyable film I've seen in ages. Can't believe they got Rutger Hauer to be in a film like this though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Going against what I said about comic book films but might as well review it as watched it couple of weeks ago. Dredd - 4 out of 10 - not as bad as I expected and it has its moments I guess. However was it meant to copy the raid?! If so really poor version of the raid. The Raid is a million times better. The slow motion camera work was beyond embrassing as well. Liked the drum n bass soundtrack though which boosted up my score.

Designer1 Posted August 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2013 Can't believe they got Rutger Hauer to be in a film like this though! He made a living in the 80's with films like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Manhattan romanticises New York, but if anything the film itself is anti-romance. All the relationships are either failed or failing, and Allen's last ditch attempt to woo is one of the most desperate scenes in cinema. It is a great film though. One of my favourite. Behind his black-rimmed glasses was the coiled sexual power of a jungle cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he won an Oscar or not for this, but Allen's performance in this was top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Pushed my suspension of disbelief. I like Giorgos Lanthimos as a director. It felt very cold and unfeeling to me, that may have been the reaction desired from the audience. Not for the faint hearted I don't think.
