Went to see transformers .dragged on a bit but still loved it as loved em as a kid.....ewant to watch hercules next
 
Watched Bad Grandad about two days ago, some bits were so funny I literally almost fell off the sofa laughing, sadly though these were few and far between. Would I recommend it, well if you have the time to waste or have other things to do in the background, go for it, if you want something to hold your attention the whole way through, steer well clear. Best bit by far was the strip show, just cringe and watch between the gaps in your fingers! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Loved bad grandpa, some very funny bits, lately i've watched a few movies, edge of tomorrow, good, definately worth a watch with an interesting storyline, lots of action to.
i'm a big muppets fan, so enjoyed their latest outing, still don't know about ricky gervais, hes in this, his humour just seems to pass me by, don't know what it is with him.
I bought the original evil dead on bluray, very nice print, a firm favourite of mine, i have had it on video, laserdisc, dvd, bluray and various collector sets, almost as many formats as i've had star wars
Lastly i watched the latest 'the thing' movie again, i really enjoyed it, some neat effects and a good storyline

Eastwood 8) 8) classic....

I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?
 
Just back from seeing Dawn of the Apes. A tad slow at the beginning but has a very good story to it. I would personally recommend it as I quite enjoyed it. Dont go with high expectations as I dont think it will meet them :)
 
Watched LEGO movie with the kids; seriously good film for a kids flick. I do have a love of LEGO anyway, but its filled with real fun elements, lots of more grown up jokes to keep parents interested and amused as well as a nice touching twist...
Think we might actually watch it again in the next few days! :o Not often I watch any film more than once (SW trilogy aside of course) :D

Agree, really enjoyed this movie, both Barkhad Abdi and Tom Hanks were outstanding
 
Finally gotten round to watching a couple of movies over the weekend.
I buy a lot of DVDs each month and never get round to watching them, must have 200 plus movies still in cellophane.

Did finally watch the Alan Partridge movie and Now they see us over the weekend. I love Partridge and did enjoy the movie. Now they see us was watchable, wasn't fantastic but watchable, always fancied Isla Fisher so she was worth the watch anyway.
 
Saw it last night.. its ******* awesome. end of, FACT and all that ****... aargh... need to see it again
 
I can't wait to see it. I love Marvel and this is essentially Marvel does Star Wars (or at least thats what the comics were like)
 
Have recently seen:

Planet of the apes, which I thought was very good...bit predictable, but very enjoyable.

Edge of tomorrow...which was...well...ok

Hercules, which was a good bit of mythical sword play

and Transformers, which wasn't as bad as i expected though a bit corny in places!
 
Took the family to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Very good and funny in places.if you know the comics even better, but very accessible if not. Great effects and cg characters. Some of it not great for great for young uns, starts on a bit of a downer....
 
Just been to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Missus wanted to see it and it was ******* it down here so seemed like a good enough excuse for two hours peace and quiet.

Thought it was ok. I haven't read the comics and knew FA going in to see it. It killed two hours, but i doubt i'd ever watch it again. Watch and forget film.
 
bought a few more blurays, evil dead, looks good on blu, texas chainsaw 2013, looks good not a bad retelling of the story, and gremlins looks good and one of my favourite 80's movies.
 
Another of my top 10 movies - The Doors. Watched it last night. It's a perfect film. Val Kilmer is Jim Morrison 8)

Not keen on Meg Ryan as Pamela Morrison or Billy Idol doing a bit role(why?), but The Doors is a masterpiece.

Great shout, outstanding movie and totally agree in the Meg Ryan casting, beautiful but not the best of actresses at best of times
 
Going to have to give guardians of the galaxy another shout out. A 21 centure love song to the 80's it may be, big loud and just a little stupid it might be but I haven't had so much fun watching a movie for a long, long time.

The film manages to fit in with the tone and universe marvel have so carefully constructed around their other offerings but beneath the brash big sets and fast dialogue there is a real heart here.

A must watch for comic book / marvel movie fans, and to be honest a real treat for anyone who enjoys a good new, old fashioned action, adventure film.

Bare in mind that these are my only criticisms of what should be a classic (if it's not). I wonder if The Doors counts as a 'classic' movie? Probably not enough of a fan base. The only reason i think Meg Ryan doesn't fit well is that she is quite sickly sweet and clean cut. The movie is quite dark in some ways and she just doesn't quite work.

Really? I must have missed something. It's not a bad film by any means but i didn't think it was any better than a run of the mill.
 
Watched a live feed to the Globe theatre's performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Awesome.

Then watched How to train your Dragon 2. Ok - nothing special. Son enjoyed it. However, there were 5 trailers for other animated films and all were **** which is disappointing. The only one I remember was about table football guys.
 
Didn't know you could watch live feeds from the globe...as I'm a technophobe and thick when it comes to things like that...bet that was ace

Love Midsummer Nights Dream :D
