Movie review thread...

Mokey,<br><br>Just pick up cheap some old Tracey/Hepburn movies. Or anything from the golden age of romantic comedy when the plots weren't written for teenagers.<br><br>Ironically given the reality of the times, women in romcoms from the 40's were often stronger, more intelligent and sassier than what were given today.

<p>Katherine Heigl is ordinary, and vastly over rated.</p>

Agreed, last time her name came up someone posted a heavily shopped picture of her as evidence of her outstanding hotness. It was the one that pops up on cracked every now and then on those 10 most photoshopped pictures of celebs lists. -

<p>Rom com - Warm Bodies. I liked it.</p>

<p>Yeah I really liked that too, I have no idea how Nic Hoult is a movie star (or how he dated Jennifer Lawrence for a few years), but that was very good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Re Nightcrawler, saw a great idea the other day presenting Collateral, Drive & Nightcrawler as an "LA by night" trilogy. Really works eh</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saw <em><strong>John Wick</strong></em> last week.</p>

<p>Keanu being staggeringly cool. God its a fun film. Just some ridiculously cool shots where he excutes people while driving & so on. Its basically a Statham movie, only cooler & more violent.</p> -

<p>The imitation Game: I thought this was bloody good, obviously they took some liberties with the 'true story' but that's to be expected with this type of movie - which might annoy some people but it didn't effect my enjoyment of it like The Butler. Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightly were bloody good (Knightly seems to have figured out how to act in the past couple of years) and the supporting cast were good as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it was a good overview of Turing without being a complete life story obviously.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I also enjoyed this, I dont know alot about Turing to question or be annoyed by any liberties. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Against the Sun, another based on a true story when the 3 crew of an American plane are forced to ditch it the Pacific during WW2 and it's 3 crew are left on a tiny life boat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A couple of things that bugged me, not sure where it was sheer luck (in the true part) or just laziness on the part of the writers as a couple of things were rather unbelievable, but otherwise a decent story (if not a familiar one) </p> -

<p>Seems weird to have that one out at the same time as Unbroken which shared part of the same storyline.</p>

<p>He was good in Skins. Although the kid from Unbroken might surpass him and Dev Patel as the two most famous ex Skins cast members.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Agree that's a great idea for a trilogy.</p> -
<p>seems to happen a bit, usually a 'blockbuster' version and a lower budget version of a similar story.</p>

<p>Heigl (Swiss-German for hell hole) should release her own domestic spray. Kills romance dead.</p> -

<p>Clearly the scriptwriters hate her too, cos they never give her actual human dialogue.</p>

Beautiful, neurotic, immature basket case with wise cracking bestie meets hot player, who for some utterly unknown reason doesn't sprint in the other direction, but instead relishes her sniping comments and complete lack of self esteem cos underneath the fucking annoying icing is just a sweet little cupcake.</blockquote>

22 Jump St - 7/10.<br><br>
Not as funny or clever as 21, and the plot was a bit thin this time around, but still enough snappy one liners, drug trips and bromance randomness to make it an enjoyable watch.</p></blockquote>
<br>
I thought is was hilarious , I hope you watched the credits too. -

I thought it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen. And then the parents day scene made me laugh. And then the Channing Tatum scene in the office had me crying I was laughing so hard. Shit movie. 2 good scenes -

<p>That was probably the best scene, the worst was the crap with the american football and the guy Tatum decided to hang out with. The scene were Tatum tried to be hispanic and the fight/love scene weren't bad either. I wouldn't call it one of the worst films I've ever seen , when my son was little I had to sit through the Mr Bean film and the the one were Atkinson is some sort of spy which are both absolute crap and high on my list of worst films ever .Fortunately Rosamund Pike was in the second one which redeemed from being a total waste of 90 minutes of my life.</p>
