Yeah i just watched both of those. Iron Man was sub-par and Star Trek was only so-so. Was expecting better, i really liked the first one. There's lots going on but nothing you're ever really given time or reason to care about.

I thought Star Trek was an utter pile of ****. Always have.
However, I enjoyed the first movie and really enjoyed the second in the JJ reboot. The old Spock was crap and unnecessary but overall a thumbs up from me.

Just seen Riddick at the cinema and was pleasantly surprised. This pulls back to the Pitch Black take and while it feels familiar it is edgy and brutal enough to hold your attention, maybe not the as scary as Pitch Black but vey good and worth a watch
I saw it on Friday. It's ok. Pretty much does what it says on the tin. By no means a classic, but if you've got two hours to kill it's a decent enough way to do it.
If you liked the first two......

Just watched Oblivion
Got to admit for my sins bit of a TC fan but this one just left me thinking Mmmm :?:
Pretty weak story line, bit Matrix in reference and scene where he is shooting down drones, referencing Star Wars, it all wraps up in the last 10 mins very weakly .....so it's one of those where I don't know wether I liked it or not :roll:

Double header at the cinema again today.
1st up - We're the Millers. In a phrase this was pant wettingly funny. It treads the line between gross out and situational perfectly and layers on just the right amount of sentimentality to make you care. A very enjoyable two hours and you get Jeniffer Aniston as a stripper... nuff said.
2nd - Worlds End. Bit late in getting around to this but hey it was worth the wait. A different sort of comedy from the first two films (Saun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) but the same themes are present and there are plenty of laugh out loud moments mixed in with the insightful interspective moments. The film manages to twist and turn around on itself enough to keep you engaged and offers a satisfying end. Oh and any film that can get the line '**** off back to Legoland you ****' into its dialogue is a winner for me

Enjoyed Fast 6 as well, good nonsense fun, likewise Olympus Has Fallen, just fun.
Watched The Look of Love, great to see Steve Coogan flexing his acting muscles and while the film is compelling to watch it is ultimately a tragic one so bear that in mind before you put it in the player to watch.

Just watched 21 and Over. Despite walking down a well trodden road it does manage to remain entertaining and enjoyable.
Watching Boardwalk Empire at the moment. Pretty good, I like the 30's era so this is right up my street.
Watched World War Z last night. Actually quite enjoyed it. Not a bad film for the most part but the ending is WAAAAAY cheesy. Typical american, hollywood ********. I thought it needed some kind of ****** up dark twist at the end to really be worth the time and money. Not the "look after yourselves... and each other" type ending it had. Lame.
i pissed mesen at the scene in the plane where it crashes, and brad is just still strapped in his seat, both him and sinead o connor are fine
it was cheesey but first film ive enjoyed watching for a while.

Watched a few films of late.
1 - Grassroots. Actually an enjoyable watch, nothing special but a pleasant hour and a half with nothing better to do.
2 - Dead man down. Despite the poor reviews this was actually very watchable. Nothing too original but the cast is watchable and there enough to hold interest.
3 - Byzantuium. Very enjoyable given it is more of a romantics take on vampires. Gemma Arterton never hurts but don't watch this if you are all about the blood and guts but don't be put off, the characters are well drawn, the acting solid and the plot engaging.

One more for the day.
Just finished watching Mud. I won't spoil it but this is a good film, the young actors are out f this world good, emotionally strong stuff, engaging and rewarding. Loved it.

Watched a couple of films today.
Behind the candelabra - big hype and good performances but I found the film uninspiring and ultimately dull. The drama was in dramatic, the tension loose and flabby and overall it was just to nice to the character to give of any sense of the true over the top life of the subjects, I wouldn't bother.
After Earth - roundly panned by critics so I had no expectations but was surprised that I engaged and enjoyed this. Not a great film but nowhere near as bad as it has been made out, the kid isn't half as annoying as reported and while smith snr is a little stiff, that is a deliberate interpretation of the character. More of a coming of age story than an out and out action flick, maybe one to watch once you have exhausted your must see list.

I'll echo what Pete said, just watched World War Z and really enjoyed it. The ending felt rushed given the build up but then I read the studio originally wanted to make a trilogy but filming was so you they decided to make it a one shot film and altered the ending to match, but then.... Because it has done so well there will now be a sequel.
On a side note how much fun would being a movie exec be, always changing your mind and playing with millions of dollars of other people's money and seemingly untouchable....
Also watched Snitch and really enjoyed that. I am a big Dwayne Johnson fan... No really i am, I even like the tooth fairy. Anyway I thought this was a good film, more of a dramatic flick than an out and out action movie, well worth a watch.

Man of steel - stick to watching marvel superheroes, I found it boring for a 3rd attempt at an origins story. Although some neat special effects.
Lovelace - pretty good bio-pic, ended up downloading the infamous '72 movie it's about, yuk how hairy!!!
Planes - my son loves cars, and although it's a bit of a cars rip off with racing planes it's pretty fun to watch.
