Mostyn6 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Unbroken : Derby's own Jack O'Connell stars as a pre-war Olympic athlete who gets captured by Japanese after surviving on a raft for 6 weeks. He is singled out for torture at the hands of a sadistic Detention camp boss. I'd give it 8/10, maybe a bit biased, but I also love films set way back when.

Carl Sagan Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Bone TomahawkKurt Russell as the town sheriff when a lost tribe kidnap the deputy and Banshee's Lili Simmons. A ragtag posse head off in pursuit. Western meets horror, some might say it's too slow paced, until a lot of action in the finale, but I like the building of the suspense. Probably 7.5 as it's a little unpolished in parts, though on the whole does a good job. It is very, very violent - not for the squeamish. Did I say it was violent? And then some...

Bris Vegas Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Interstellar is one of my favourite movies of the last few years, but I like the science of it all.Gravity I wasn't that keen on, though I watched it on my laptop and supposedly missed the amazing effects at the Cinema.The Martian is brilliant, 9/10. Plenty of humour in it too BondJovi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Interstellar and it is one of the few recent films where the film score is sublime, oh that organ.Gravity was fantastic to look at but didn't really do a lot.The Martian is a another great film. Love the humour and Matt Damon puts in a brilliant performance, plus it gets bonus points for having Jeff Daniels and Sean Bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The Gambler: 5/10. I like Mark Wahlberg films generally, but this is just a nonsense. It serves no actual purpose, the characters are pretty rubbish. The storyline and ending were a waste of time. It was well made though, just a cr*p film.

PodgeyRam Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The Martian 8/10Loved it, great cast, great visuals and from what I gather it's all scientifically-accurate (apart from the storm at the beginning).As a side note, loved the LOTR reference with Sean Bean in the room.

Wolfie Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.More of the same from the first film but not quite as good. Dev Patel's character was just downright annoying in this one.6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Exodus: Gods & KingsStory of Moses leading the slaves out of Egypt, with plagues and parting of the Red Sea etc.It looks great, as you would expect from a Ridley Scott film, with impressive scale to the locations, action sequences and visual effects but unfortunately they forgot to write a good script or have any interesting characters. A good cast (Ben Kingsley, Sigourney Weaver, Christian Bale) was completely wasted.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The Drop.Starring Tom Hardy and the late James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano), tells the story of bars that are being used by Chechen gangsters to store their dirty money. Basically Gandolfini runs a bar which is robbed, Hardy is the barman. There's a side story of Hardy finding a pitbull puppy in a 'trash can'. The puppy is the only reason for watching the film to be honest. There's a irrelevant cop or two, who don't actually add anything to the storyline.Well worth a swerve.4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 James Bond: Quantum of Solace I'd avoided this in the past due to poor reviews & with hopefully seeing Spectre soon, thought it was time to fill in the blanks. For a Bond film it isn't that long and some of the action sequences are exciting. However, the film seems to be nothing but action sequences and often confusing, over-edited ones at that. I was relieved when each one finished but there was nothing in between. No story, no character development and then along came more shaky camera and cuts every half second and we were off again. At the end of it, I honestly couldn't say what the plot was. Really, really poor. No wonder everyone thought Skyfall was so great, having followed that mess. 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Fantastic Four just about 4/10 Men from UNCLE 7/10 better than expected, probably slightly high and boosted by how poor Fantastic Four was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 3 Headed Shark Attack on Pick. Every bit as bad as it sounds. There's "that bad it's funny" and then there's this. For some reason Danny Trejo signed up for it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes 3 Headed Shark look like Citizen Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Started to watch a bit of Thirteen Days last night at around 23:40, just to see what it was like. Ended up staying til 2 in the morning watching it, I was so gripped. 8/10 Also, continuing a Costner fest, Draft Day is a very watchable and enjoyable film if you have a light grasp of American Football and the Draft. Lots of elements and roles in it that get better after the first viewing. 7.5/10 StaffsRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
