Let's have a films thread.

The Future War.

I don't know if its based on a computer game, but it could be. The plot is full of holes but as a shoot 'em up,.mental bubble gum, it's not bad. 6/10.

Do you mean the tomorrow war by any chance?

 

I just watched it, I quite enjoyed it. But I'm a fan of some mindless pew pew shoot the aliens, save the world style.

Watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World for the first time and loved it. I really ought to watch more films.

I must have seen that 10 times. One of my favourites. Edgar Wright is a great director.

I'll definitely be going to see it. James Gandolfini's actual son playing him as well.

Yep. He’s a spitting image isn’t he?

The Bad Education film was another turkey

The first one was an excellent follow up to the original.  Of course, this should have been released last year but looking forward to it nonetheless.  Not been to the cinema since the first one!

Not really sure if bad education was even popular enough for the big screen. Just sums up how some shows should remain on the small screen.... though never could get my head round how John Sullivan never wrote a feature film for only fools and horses... maybe Miami twice could have gone to the big screen.

The Forever Purge, decent but not as good as other Purge movies 6/10

Agreed, a lot of the more recent Halloween's really haven't been as bad as some make out, they more than do the job they are meant to do. 

 

I'm still waiting for any horror film to come close to the original Halloween but just cannot see how it can be topped imo.

I hope it's as good as the other 2 but I can't help but feel like it's probably been a bit too long for this, especially given a lot of the content/humour. 

[The Bear]

Are they just gonna drag out the old looking original cast again like in Clerks 2? 

[Zear0]

 

The juvenile in me is very excited to watch this.  Think I was at the perfect teen age when this kicked off initially and holds a warm place in my heart.

So stupid and so juvenile.... absolutely can't wait to see it.

I dunno, I saw Jay and Silent Bob Reboot a couple of years ago and it was perfect, though mainly for nostalgia reasons. His Clerks films are so much better than that though as they're less wacky/slapstick silliness with a much more heartfelt dialogue-driven story, which is something Smith has always excelled at IMO.

Pretty much:

In Clerks III, following a massive heart attack, Randal enlists Dante, Elias, Jay and Silent Bob to make a movie immortalizing his life at the convenience store that started it all.

Can't wait personally!

[The Bear]

If its anything like the Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, then it'll be rubbish. 

[Legend_in_blue]

I see Shyamalan's latest film is getting the usual mixed response.  Will give it a go later, looks interesting enough.

I've had this sitting on my computer for a longtime.  Finally got around to watching it today, and absolutely love it.
Cant recommend this enough.  Great action flick.

I'd be disappointed if they didn't? 

 

The whole point of Clerks 2 was to look at how Dante and Randall's life had progressed (or hadn't.) The series is their story. They ARE the Clerks. 

 

I like the idea of checking back in with them ever ten or fifteen years to make a trilogy based on the evolution of the lives of a couple of regular guys, especially as there's a direct reflection there to Kevin Smith and the stage he's at in his life as he matures alongside his characters.
