latest film/ dvd you have seen

[user 5830]

This thread is becoming some kind of confessional for me this week... I really do usually watch decent movies.. honest...
Here though is my last of the day:

- Horrible Bosses 2 - not sure if its worth bothering with a review.. Jennifer Aniston in her underwear is the highlight.

 

[weasel]

Right then.. Day two on sick leave, this time on the sofa rathe than the bed, but no less delirious or distracted thought this latest selection of nonsense:

- John Wick (Keanu Reeves) - Hit man revenge type tale.. yep, it's Keanu pulling out some Matrix moves, you need to be ill to appreciate it.
- Interstellar (Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway) - In parts this is very, very good, spectacularly shot, but why the hell was the middle 30 minutes still in the final cut, added nothing and almost stopped me watching, which is a shame as the end is worth getting to.
- Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 (Kevin James) - yes, I really am that ill.. good lord, it is up there as one of the worst things I've seen and after yesterday, that is saying something...
- Home (Jim Parsons/Rihanna) - Disney Animation, overall not that bad really and one I would actually recommend!!!
- Night at the Museum 3 (Ben Stiller) - worst of the three (unsurprisingly), shame really as I loved the first one.

Keanu Reeves, Kevin James, Rihanna and Ben stiller!? That's actually a worse list than day 1! Lol

What's on today's list then? I'm struggling to think of any worse actors. Maybe a day of chick flicks and rom coms?

Sadly I have returned to the office today, so the world of straight to DVD/SKY Premier movies will have to carry on without me today...

I just watched this at the weekend:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092240/

One of the best films I've seen for ages! Had never heard of it before, was recommended it by a friend. It's like a **** 80s b-movie but with half-decent acting and special effects. No doubt inspired by the popularity of Knight Rider at the time. Really enjoyed it

Wow, never heard of that. I thought I had all the 80s stuff nailed. Will order it on Lovefilm.

Watched The Man With The Iron Fists. Recorded off the TV. Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, set in the past in China, a Kung-Fu movie that with these names should have been well known. Clearly it was gonna be crap. It was, but had it's moments, with very good make-up and gore.

The Devils Double. Dominic Cooper playing Saddam Hussein's son, and his son's body double. I heard lots of documentaries about him, and all the stories come up in this film. Very good underrated film.

 

[timbo72]

Just watched Ex Machina..........twisted my melon man. Great story and proper suspense

 

[tobedesu]

Had a day off work so what else to do but go and watch the 12:30 screening of Deadpool.
There's a new king of the Marvel franchise.

 

[stormcab]

Finally got "Inside Out" in from Lovefilm. Been dying to watch it from all the rave reviews. People, that is one of the best stories of any film. It was bang on, it never missed a step. Be prepared to cry your eyes out though. I was at least 3 times

 

[lejackal]

I've also seen Inside Out recently as well as The Good Dinosaur. Well by seen I mean the first hour of both before the boy had enough of the cinema on their cheap kids screenings, saw enough to know were getting them both on Blu Ray

Whent with my Dad to watch Dad's army the other night as it was his birthday, was alright but woulden't recommend paying to watch it. :lol:

Critics have panned it, and it has a low IMDB score. Won't waste my time

 

[weasel]

Yeah, not sure why they even bothered, it was never gonna be a patch on the original series and it's not like the public were crying out for a film (featuring none of the original cast, for obvious reasons). It just smacks of someone trying to make a few quid by exploiting an old favourite.
I'll be going nowhere near it.

Watched Groundhog day last night, rather embarrassingly I'd pretty much forgotten it, great little film

 

[sith-smith]

Saw the revenant.

Not a bad film. But was a little slow. Was hoping for a more explosive revenge film

 

[Darth Bobby]

Watched a couple of films this weekend 'What We Do In The Shadows' which is a spoof documentary about Vampires living in New Zealand. It was made by the Flight Of The Conchords people and is pretty funny. Also the old John Carpenter film 'They Live' which is an all time classic in my book. OBEY!

 

[timbo72]

Just watched Bridge of Spies.........absolute classic. Awesome acting, great sets/costumes. Another great Hanks film

 

[user 5830]

Kids have been showing interest in seeing Zoolander 2, wife and I have both repetitively said a very firm NO..
To convince them it was a waste of a cinema trip, we watched the original on SKY last night, terible, but all four of us were rolling around laughing through most of the film.. partly due to it being so bad and partly because although we didn't remember it being that funny, it actually is... Not sure we can put the kids off much longer, just have to hope the cinema run ends soon!

 

[plantman]

Scouts guide to the Zombie apocalypse 8/10 enjoyed it, stupid but entertaining
Dirty Grandpa 8/10 laughed a lot in a few parts, generally stupid ******** but again very entertaining, i do like toilet humour!

 

[weasel]

I went to see Zoolander 2 last night. It's worse than the first.
There are some funny bits in it ("she's got a mouth like one of those Chinese finger puzzles, when you try to pull out it just gets tighter and tighter") but the plot is daft and for the most part it's pretty dull. Probably a solid 3.5 out of ten. Saved only by the one or two moments of comedy otherwise it's a 1.
I'd try to avoid it if I was you.

 

[stormcab]

Not good to hear about Zoolander 2. Not hearing anything good about it. My wife is dying to watch it, and going on these reviews and IMDB I'm going to put it off as long as possible. We thought the first was bloody hilarious.

Just watched the new The Man From Uncle. Not too bad at all. Well cast, actors did excellent foreign accents, clothes design and scenery was stunning, and some well thought out ideas for the editing ideas. There's something missing from making it a classic, but I can't quite put my finger on what's missing.

 

[Darth Bobby]

Watched Chappie this afternoon, at first thought it was a bad Robocop ripoff but enjoyed it once it got going. Not in any hurry to see Robot cops on the streets anytime soon tho.

 

[stormcab]

Mission Impossible 5. I keep watching each new one hoping it's gonna have a bit more substance, but it's just another excuse for Tom to take his top off, and for everyone in the film to say just how good To... Ethan is.

 

[theguiltyone]

Bone Tomahawk, a return to the old school western but with a touch of modern gore.
I enjoyed it but the moments of quiet then seconds of ultra violence I did find unnerving, a bit real I would imagine.

Check it out if you can.

Saw Deadpool opening night with my mrs and we were both in stitches the whole way through the film. Definitely a new take on super hero films. Well worth watching it!
