nomad Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Worlds Greatest Dad - 7/10 - Good performance by Robin Williams as a father who loses his child and creates a fictional suicide note and diary to preserve his sons dignity. God Bless America - 8/10 - Satirical comedy following a man who is worn down by the superficial nature of modern society and pop culture causing him to snap and go on a killing spree.

Cisse Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The Way Way Back 8/10 Great feel good movie set over a summer holiday. Great cast, Sam Rockwell, Toni Collette and Steve Carell all doing a fine job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwNo1i3jkCo Is that Shefki Kuqi ? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Dead Poets Society 9.5/10 Watched it many times before It's as if the acting has distilled and got better with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I Give It A Year - 6/10 - Slightly different take on the usual rom-com formula. Not really my cup of tea but it had a few moments that were worth a chuckle, normally when Stephen Merchant was on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Purge Anarchy: Essentially the exact same as the first. Decent acting and storyline, but overall was not impressed: 5/10. Snowpiercer: Awesome storyline, action scenes, and acting. Did not like ending too much, but still a solid flick: 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed this as well. Definitely worth a watch, a really good story line with some excellent action scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade If I had known when I was at school that this was how archaeology worked, I would most definitely have become an archaeologist as opposed to a boring computer specialist. Spoiler: Good guys 1 Nazis 0 Seen it times, and it just gets better with age. 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Elysium 8/10 quite enjoyed it.I like that Sharlto Copley , thought he was brilliant in District 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Safe - 6/10 - Standard Jason Statham. Decent action scenes, a bit thin on plot. There are better Statham films out there. Crossing The Line - 7/10 - Slow paced documentary focused on James Joe Dresnok, an American soldier who defected to North Korea from the South across the DMZ after the Korean War. It's not thrill a minute but it's a unique and interesting story that's well worth hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

District 9 is a fantastic film, as is Elysium, and he is excellent in both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Devil 5 people trapped in a skyscraper lift. One of them is the devil. Very simple premise and well done IMO. Produced by M Night Shyamalan and you can tell (in a good "Signs" way, not a rubbish "The Happening" way). For me, though, the spookiest bit is the opening credits, flying around an upside down cityscape. Such a simple idea and yet weird and chilling. A relatively short film (under 90 mins I think), low key and all the better for it. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hot Fuzz (yet again). Absolutely brilliant. Definitely my favourite Frost/Pegg film. They seem to create films where it gets even better each time you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the first in an anthology series of movies, but that seems to have died a death now. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
