latest film/ dvd you have seen

[PGowdy]

In Time - great idea behind it, all humans are genetically engineered to only reach 25 years of age & then stop ageing so you stay 25 forever, trouble is then you only get another year to live & have to buy time but working for it, great concept & could have been one of the best new si fi in decades, sadly it is a little limited as they rushed through it & bit, still a great watch that had me hooked, but such a shame as they could have made so much more out of it, but ain't that the story with 99% of modern films

**SPOILER ALERT**

So true. A brilliant idea poorly executed. And the bit at the end where they have millions of "days/years" which they have stolen from banks and the rich and give it ALL away only leaving themselves half an hour to get to where they're going (or they DIE!) was just a tiny bit implausible.

 

[Frunkstar]

Only a tiny bit lol, well hope no one that wants to watch it reads your post eh Pete :lol:

Be a great one to see re made properly init as I thought the concept was outstanding, have you seen event horizon?, an old one but pretty cool, always reminds me of my all time favourite movie, that being forbidden planet which IMO rocks to this day & through all time!!

 

[PGowdy]

It is pretty old now but i'll put a spoiler alert on it. :wink:

Just watched exspendables 2 and it's the dogs

is first exspenables any good,
after watching goon other week watched youngblood last night still enjoyable all these years later

 

[TwistedMetal]

Youngblood mint f I'm haven't seen that in ages, yes first expendables very enjoyable, thumbs up for both

 

[jackabina]

I've missed you lot................................anyway, watched suckerpunch yesterday. Brilliant idea, not sure if I liked it though. What are your thoughts?

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah i thought Sucker Punch was fairly awful. Really shallow writing and filled with nonsense. It's a visual and directorial mess. I can imagine 15-17 year olds thinking it's awesome but anyone with a fully developed brain is going to struggle to find much at all to like about it. Except the pretty girls.

 

[jackabina]

It promised so much Pete. The girls however, were mighty fine. The film could have been good. It reminded me a little of a poor mix of Kill Bill meets shutter island.
I dont know if I need to talk my wife in dressing up as Leia in a gold bikini, or baby doll? :?

 

[TwistedMetal]

Ok the old classic " The Thing" is a classic but just watched the newer one again and although it's very much like the first it's a bloody good film

 

[jabbawokkie]

shame ,pile of shite
headhunters .worth a watch though its dubbed as it a norweigan film

 

[monkey_roo]

^ just finished watching headhunters at the weekend, it was ok, a few moments were gripping but as the source material is weak anyway that left the film light in that area. Also thought Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was waisted in that role.

Also watched Gone at weekend, total rubbish, 2 hours of my life I won't get back again, for a film with an interesting hook it failed to deliver in every area.

Watched the best exotic marigold hotel as well, and as you would expect a lovely 'British' film packed with exceptional talent, well worth a watch.

Last one, which is so mentioned already but afterv2 months finally got to the IMAX to see the Dark Knight Rises - truly awesome. Perfect almost.

 

[monkey_roo]

Just finished watching Lockout, special effects are on a budget and the plot is, well, if I find it I'll let you know, but it is big, loud and totally silly, guy pearce seems to be having a ball in the roll, plus it is a nice short film. Check brain at door, relax and enjoy, total fun.

 

[jackabina]

Watched Ghostrider 2 tonight................................................
I think i've been put off comic book films forever!
Without doubt, Cage's worst film by a country mile.

 

[monkey_roo]

^ Cages worst film ever - them's some big words.

Drive Angry
Season of the Witch
The sourcorers apprentice
Knowing
Bangcock dangerous

The list of stinkers goes on...

That said love the national treasure films and a 3rd is now on the way.

 

[jackabina]

:lol: :lol: I really enjoyed season of the witch and drive angry. (amber heard helped :wink: )

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

I LOVED Drive Angry Amber heard really helped :mrgreen:

 

[TwistedMetal]

Ghost rider 2 was utter crap I agree, but cage has been in some great films too, I.e Face off, con air and one of my favourites " the rock" and tbh Drive angry wasn't that bad and there were some nice tits in it.

 

[jackabina]

Cage is one of my favorite actors. Face off and Con air were quality. 8MM, the rock, gone in 60 seconds and kiss of death were all good too.
