Decent cast. May have to watch that one.

That new Tom Hanks film (captain phillips) really looks interesting, once again it's very rare for Hanks to be in a poor film? hey i can't think of one!... oh maybe the remake to the ladykillers was poor!

I was surprised at how good it was, my film of the year so far.

[MooseBreath]

Thought Oblivion was decent. Not the most original of movies but the imagery was good. 6.975/10.

Trance was a ok but was kind of camp and whimsical in the way it gently swirved in and out of plot chicanes. Needed a tougher edge. 6.05/10

Mud is the best film I've seen lately. Solid 8.00/10.

About to watch Only God Forgives. Not expecting much.

[MooseBreath]

Five minutes into Only God Forgives and an American gives a Thai an implied lesson on the morality of prostitution. Okaaaaaay. Tempted to stop watching already.

[The Doctor]

Gary Oldman is easily the best Dracula.

Next up, Les Mis. Not sure about the casting, Russell Crowe in a musical sounds like a recipe for disaster.

[MooseBreath]

All kicking off in Only God Forgives. Police chop man's hands off for murdering the man who murdered his prostitute daughter. Cut to Gosling tied to a chair while a woman masturbates on the bed in front of him. Storyline? Who needs one.

[FoxesAreBlue]

I thought Only God Forgives was crap.

[MooseBreath]

I gave up after 20mins.

[FoxesAreBlue]

I wish I could have, unfortunately I was round with family so had to endure the whole damn thing

[FrankieADZ]

watched Wrong Turn last night, the whole franchise freaks me out.....still watch them tho 

[Kitchandro]

I love Moose's film reviews

Went to go and see Partridge last night. My mrs (not a Partridge fan) seemed to find it funnier than I did.

Some of the humour didn't seem very Partridge at all (albeit most of it did).

On balance, I enjoyed it, but I think quote a lot of the desperate patheticness of AP was missing.

[Rincewind]

There was a film on last night with Steve Coogan in. Hamlet 2. It was OK. He did it with an American accent. Wasn't sure about his character. Did not come over very well.

A bit more extreme in nastiness than Patridge.

[sphericalfox]

Watched Welcome to the Punch last night. Could have been something if the script was a bit tighter, and the last third was both a bit rushed and ended with, for me, a disappointment. Nicely shot though.

[sphericalfox]

Watched A Place Beyond the Pines. Good acting, classic story, well directed. Though I have to say that some characters were less fleshed out than others and were a bit weak. Overall good though.

I watched Papillion the other day,it was good but not quite a 10/10.

Safe house is decent,good way to pass some time.

The Papillon book and it's follow-up Banco by Henri Charrière are ****ing fantastic.

It's a film of two halves for me. The first 40 minutes is great and then the story arc after about the kids is shite.

[Ozwin]

A Place Beyond the Pines is really well done. I thought the kids were great, Bradley Coopers son was an absolute bellend.

not a great actor, which kind of spoiled. that's what i mean by a bit weak.

 

Just watched Side Effects. Hands down the best film I've seen so far this year.

Watched Side Effects a few weeks ago,Jude Law is excellent in it.

[21st Century Fox]

Slowly working my way through a backlog of films I've got and not watched yet. 

 

I saw The Hunt last night. To say it was compelling and uncomfortable wouldn't do it justice.

 

That's the last time I touch a kid... no wait that doesn't sound right. That's the last time I fondle a child... yeah that's more accurate.

Saw the Hunt with a then girlfriend in Soho when it was in the cinema and again a few months ago when it came on LoveFilm. Absolutely staggering vehicle for Mads Mikkelsen who I love anyway.

Some of the reactions and the writing was almost a little TOO hysterical at times but then I suppose who knows? One of the best individual performances of the last few years, though. Very understated. Very Danish!
