lost Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I went to the pics for the first time in ages Monday and went to see "the Lobster" What a cracking film too, really enjoyed it. Narrowly beats In Bruges for Farrell's best ever film for me and also great for him after the fuck up that was true detective 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 It Follows is a brilliant movie. There's been a LOT of good horrors this year. We Are Still Here is one to watch.Spectre is... meh. It's okay, but there's so much ludicrous plotlines and dull action that it's a real chore to get through. Not a patch on Skyfall at all.

TheSilence Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just finished the staff viewing of Spectre (what a time, hey?) it was fucking abysmal in my eyes. Finally when i thought they had the formula for this current generation of Bond perfect, they take five steps back. Full of cliches and predictable plot lines. Honestly worse than Quantum of Solace for me. And that was a 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5co77ie Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 has anyone seen Forbidden Empire? Is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I saw Crimson Peak and I really enjoyed, it's feels like a classic movie from the 40/50's and looks fudging great but you could see every beat that was going to happene not that they were trying to hide it mind.

TheGayTent Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 How did I miss Margin Call? Cracking film really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 It really slipped under the radar. I saw it about a year after release and despite raving about it since and it being on iplayer recently no one ever seems aware of it.

mjsell Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Saw Spectre last night, and the more I think about it the more annoyed I get by it. It had all the ingredients to be a great Bond film but managed to piss it all up a wall with terrible dialogue, poor editing and generally poor filmmaking. I wont spoil anything and I do think it has its moments, but it could have been right up there and isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw TGT's post yesterday, when I was thinking "what shall I watch?", clicked on netflix, knew nothing about it other than netflix synopsis. watched it, loved it. Probably a lot closer to real goings on than most of us would dare to imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I love how Margin Call uses its casting as a structural device, so that the further up the chain of command in the bank you get, the bigger the names playing them get. I love films that do that, casting people because of their star baggage rather than despite it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Possibly the best example of those few short years when Eddie Murphy made great movies. One of the defining comedies of the 80s for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_C Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Definitely. Beverley Hills Cop 1 & 2, and 48 Hrs. are brilliant as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesjupiter Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 You guys watched What We Do in the Shadows, yeah? Please do so if you haven't. Follow that up with all of Taika's stuff.Also, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 saw Spectre the other day... it was okay, but fell pretty far in to generic Bond territory. had far too many little winks and nods towards the older Bonds which i thought was pretty unnecessary/overwhelming. Christoph Waltz's villain was a bit shite/underused as well. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Watched Spectre last week, enjoyed, its not a total mess but the pacing and trying to homage older Bond flicks is a bit off.Mainly the train scene to be fair.Also does DC bond really need to go rouge again,t hats every movie at some point now?That said when it is good, its fucking fantastic.

Hidden ContentThat said when it is good, its fucking fantastic.Hello TomMy boss went to see it and appeared generally disappointed about it as an experience. I wonder if this view is common? I've not read about any reports of how it's doing so am in self enfored ignorance. I'm not really in to the James Bond thing so will probably never watch it. I haven't seen at least the last one yet as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
