Recently Watched Movies/General Movie Discussion

Super Troopers - Classic, 9/10

I actually thought the new Total Recall wasn't too bad, about a 5.5/10.

Green Lantern, wasn't too impressed. Seemed to take Hal most of the movie to realise "shit, I need to do something" and beat this massive beast thing.

Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder. Should stick to episodes. Best bit of the "movie" was Bender and Fry in a poker tournament, which didn't really matter at all.

Keith Lemon film.

5/10


Awful.

Awful but 5/10.

Parts were quite funny tbh, the whole story was awful.

Moneyball - 8/10

Don't know an awful lot about Baseball but it was a good enough film. Based on a true story too.

Killer Elite - 6/10. Expected more.

Lock Stock

strong 10/10

51st State

strong 10/10

Battleship. Fucking epic film 8/10

Lock Out 7.5/10

I thought it was great.

The Departed - 9

Great movie, fantastic cast. Falls apart a little in the last 30 minutes or so, but that's what happens if you make a shot for shot remake of a hong kong movie.

Whaaaat? The Departed closes out very strong.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I didn't hate it, but at the same time it was really, really stupid.

Great film.

Watched Men In Black 3, it was okay. 6/10.

The Hunger Games 9/10

Better love story than Twilight.

Layer Cake - Good.

Great movie. It makes it a lot better if you actually follow baseball and you can recognize the players and some of the staff in the movie.

Really? I thought it was awful. Was corny as fuck and had the most predictable storyline.

Explosions galore and ships doing drifts. What more could you possibly want

The Hunger Games - 8/10 - Better then I thought it would be. Plus Jennifer Lawrence was hot so it was all good.

Lockout - 9/10 - Guy Pearce was great in the main role and I liked the humour of his character

Best ending in a movie for a while.

Yeh. I didn't expect much but really enjoyed it, great action and CGI. It was far better than that pile of shit "Battle LA" that I expected to actually be good which was fairly similar with Aliens etc.

ohdeargod Battle LA

Watched Top Gun last night.

Was alright. Shoulda been more jet fighting and less stupid romance (which didn't work as was seemingly no on screen chemistry between Cruise and the girl.)

that is a terrible film

Walking Tall. 7.5/10

Typical film where The Rock is just badass.

Total Recall: 6/10 nowhere as near as good as the original.

Would have liked it more if it wasn't a remake.

The Expendables 2 - 9/10

This film is off the hook.

I thought it was pretty shit to be honest.

I can't even remember the original. It was pretty good, went with my roommate and she hated it. Not sure why.

Prometheus 2/10

Not what I was expecting and just one of the worst films I've seen. Characters were stupid beyond belief. Worst of all, nothing was explained properly.

Nothing is explained because it asks a question that the viewer is expected to answer

I thought Prometheus was weird but after watching it a few more times and reading/watching some explanations I've come to think of it as a pretty good sci-fi flick.
