What was the last film you watched Mk. II

Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    The Change Up - 7.4/10

    Strange story line, but side-splittingly funny. Plus solid performances from Bateman and Reynolds

    howls moving castle - 9/10

    i loved it soooo much! not 10/10 because christian bale's voice is too distinctive (cant get american psycho/batman out of my head) and emily mortimer was annoying as young sophie. but wow the story was immense and the visuals were spectacular... the imagination of studio ghibli films just blows me away.

    need to pick another film from my "to-do" pile of films i own but havent watched... the options are: taxi driver, interstate 60, let the right one in. prob gonna be interstate 60 because im a bit mental for gary oldman... i say a bit, i mean a lot.. i mean weirdly a lot. i would actually well up if he won the oscar later (of course he wont because the oscars are generally a load of old tosh).

    Gattaca. Loved it. 9/10. .
    One of the best movies of the 90's and amongst my favourite ever. Great film and great sub-title: "there is no gene for the human spirit"


    Brooklyn's Finest
    I enjoyed it but it's not Antoine ***ua's best. That's still the brilliant Training Day.
    7/10.

    The Adventures of Tintin - (5.5/10)

    Fair enough, if you're a young child it's probably fantastic! But in a cinema full of university students, there are far too many facepalm moments to make this bearable. However, if you like very slow, predictable plots with some predictable and slapstick humour, then by all means this film's for you.

    On the plus side, the animation was absolutely fantastic. Haven't seen something that life-like in a while.

    Kill Bill: Vol. 1, 8/10

    I love Quentin Tarantino's films, and it doesn't get any better than Kill Bill. In my opinion, it's perhaps his greatest work.

    The muppets 7/10

    It is a great childrens movie with all the iconic muppet characters and a new charming one (walter)
    The songs and comedy are all perfect, especially the man or a muppet song.
    It falls short of a higher mark for me though for two reason
    1. Focused a little too much on the human characters without giving other characters their time to shine again
    2. It was all in all a childrens movie and as a childrens movie it would get 9/10 but for me some of the humour was a little immature
    I would have liked to have seen more waldorf and statler and The great gonzo
    But it is a great childrens movie

    Ghostbusters (9/10)

    The name should just sell itself . We obtained the digital re-release of ghostbusters and I have to say it's pretty damn good in the high(er) quality. However, they still could have made it better and more aesthetically pleasing :yep:

    No Strings Attached - 7/10
    Cyber Bullying - 9/10
    April Showers - 9/10
    Trust - 5/10

    I got half way through Session 9 but I couldn't really get into it. I will probably watch the end of it after the England vs Holland football match.

    Bullhead, though it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. A bit too slow
    Really man? No, really? I just watched it and quite frankly its going to stay on my mind for a while. What a film! It reminds me of Dave in mystic river. Have you seen that one? Did you find it slow too?

    Drive-10/10
    I actually don't know what words to use in order to convey the sheer awesomenes of this film.

    In Time - 7.9/10.

    I quite enjoyed this movie. Justin Timberlake proves he's a pretty good actor.

    No I haven't seen it, maybe I should

    I wouldn't say bullhead was bad, but I expected a thriller maybe that's the reason ... It's more drama But quite good acting though

    The Departed 9/10 Brilliant film, although I don't really like Matt Damon I thought he was pretty good in the film.
