Recommended Posts

If you have recently watched a movie post it here with a little tidbit of what you thought and a rating whether it be out of /5 or /10 :)

Please use spoiler tags for "recently" released movies (5 years since the release date is a good cut-off)  or just avoid spoilers all together!

Dracula untold - 1/5 horrible, but I'm a sucker for cheesy movies.

Revenge of the Green Dragons 1/5 - Don't know why Martin Scorsese attach his name to this crappy movie, I get it that the directors of this movie gave you the rights to remake Infernal Affairs as The Departed and you won your first Oscar with that movie.

In the theater, Fury. Not bad, not great.

 

First watch, probably Guardians of the Galaxy. Not bad, not great.

 

Watching Django Unchained right now for the second time, better than what my first impression was.

 

2014 was a pretty dismal year for film.

Most recent: Naked Gun with my best friend on New Years Eve

 

Most recent in theater: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Part 1. (I've lost count of how many people I've fooled with that little addendum!)

The Descendants - 7/10 - A bit fun and relaxing, something you could enjoy on a plane trip.

Flight - 7/10 - A bit fun and exciting, something you'd probably not enjoy on a plane trip.

Watched a fair amount over the past few weeks!

 

catch me if you can - 8/10 excellent plot, script and a superb acting all round

 

lego movie - a bit kiddish but some good parts, mostly involving batman though :p 6/10

 

my cousin vinny - excellent old school comedy 8/10

 

Terminator 1 - seen this so many times now! 9/10

 

Terminator 2 - also seen this many times now!!! :D When I was younger, this one use to be my favourite but now that I am older, T1 is the better one imo 8/10

 

Eden Lake - a very frustrating gore type of film 7/10

 

transformers AOE - MEH! The worse one by FAR 4/10 2 points purely for the dinobots.....

 

cop land - basic plot but very well executed with a whole range of excellent actors 7/10

 

dawn of the planet of the apes - excellent plot, acting, CGI, script, action scenes etc. etc. 8/10

 

batman begins - the first proper good super hero film and was the one to really kick start the super hero movie universe on the big screen imo, a bit too much time spent on his past though 8/10

 

the dark knight - fantastic sequel, the joker/heath really did make the film, I loved all the twists when it came to the joker. I felt that Harvey Dent's transformation into "two face" was a bit too sudden though, they should have worked up to it more from the very beginning or show in secret that he had a much darker side, kind of like how they are portraying him in the tv show Gotham 9/10

 

the dark knight rises - a fantastic film to end Nolan's batman films, just a shame they revealed the ending about a third of the way through the film.... The only thing which I felt was very poor was the combat/fight scenes, very poorly done! Didn't like the whole Blake storyline either. 8/10

 

insomnia - a typical Nolan film that keeps you on the edge throughout, some nice twists and a superb ending 8/10

 

memento - one of Nolan's weakest films by far, very basic plot but a good cast and script kept it interesting enough 7/10

 

prestige - WOW! Amazing that is all! :D Better than inception imo 9/10

 

teenage mutant ninja turtles - loved this! Entertaining right from the start. I was expecting it to be rather bad but I felt that they got the turtles personality spot on 8/10

 

hunger games mockingjay part 1 - very good! The damn scene give me goosebumps!!! Can't wait for the last part 8/10

Flight - 7/10 - A bit fun and exciting, something you'd probably not enjoy on a plane trip.

 

I thought this was going to be a prestige movie, turns out it was much more meaningful. I liked it.

 

I watched The Wolf of Wallstreet most recently. Quarter DeCaprio narration, quarter porn, quarter MTV Cribs, and a quarter drug showcase. 3 hours long and odd. Meh.

Had so much potential,  I mean, you got the premise, developed it, why blow it all to hell, why not try to show 

at least in a bit, what happens to man kind as they acquire the knowledge

 

 

5/10

Dom Hemingway (2013)

 

6/10

 

Could have been really great in the hands of Guy Ritchie.

 

 

Awesome movie. As a person who lived in UK for many years, I am a sucker for good british movies.   Its not Guy Ritchie good, but it is certainly very entertaining for me.

7.5/10

 

I went in expecting it to be a bit boring as it basically follows Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) in the car, but with frequent telephone calls with different people with different issues...I thought it was something different and well worth a watch.

Agreed, Dan Stevens performance!

 

They should bring him into Bourne  movies!

+1 Hardy's performance... This role pretty much consolidates him as an actor, barely any support cast, all up to him.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
