Cable Forum - Rate the last movie you saw

Old Boy - Korean film a bout a businessman who is imprisoned for 15 years. By whom and for what reason remains a mystery which is the basis of the movie.

Rather disturbing but riveting and very well executed.

8/10

A very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (in glorious 2D)
6/10
Funny in places, enough to keep me watching but not as good as previous outings.

Thankfully I was not expecting much from this, and I did not plan to watch it, but curiosity got the better of me. This was just pure drivel though, complete and utter dross. Predictable, with a very weak script and even worse acting. It offered nothing new or original and I did not care for any of the characters. Even if I had not seen (and loved) the original, I would still have detested this.

Words fail me for how poor this movie is.

The only bright spot from this was them showing some scenes from the original and seeing how they "finished it off."

You have to remember it was 5 years before the moon landings.
Technology has moved on in the last fifty years!

The Family

6/10

Now I'm a big fan of a bit of gratuitous violence but somehow it just didn't sit right with this film. Maybe because it was supposed to be a comedy. Disappointed.

Gravity 5/10 - As a visual spectacle it's fantastic however the story line isn't great and the script was pretty awful. Totally over-hyped purely down to the 3D experience.

The Desolation of Smaug

7/10. Better than the first one (not difficult). Still went on a bit, and with 3/4 of an hour of ads before hand, my backside was numb.

The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug 3d HFR

7/10 for the actual gilm. Bit long but quite enjoyed it.

However the HFR was awful. It looked very smooth and the scenery shots looked fab but all the action and most of the movie looked like a TV show rather than a movie. Its like when you get a new TV and it has all those smoothing options enabled. Some parts even looked sped up. The only good thing was that it made the 3D look better and didn't tire out my eyes.

First and last HFR for me.

The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman.

7/10

Nice to see Shia Labeouf can act. Decent film but put me off ever going to Bucharest. Not that I was ever going to go anyway....

jOBS - 8/10

Maybe it's because I was never a massive Apple fan before I had my iPhone (therefore didn't know much about Steve Jobs' reputation and history) and was never blind to its limitations but I didn't understand the criticism of this film - I really liked it.

If the portrayal of him was genuine then it seems that although he had a brilliant mind he was a very obnoxious and unpleasant piece of work when things didn't go his way. But whatever, I liked the film and at times AK looked exactly like him.

Anchorman 2 - 3/10

It was just so poor. It ran for 2 hours but should have only been about 80 minutes long in reality. It felt like self indulgent buffoonery from all involved. A few minor funny moments has saved this from getting a 1 or 2 out of 10.

Cloud Atlas 8/10

I weird watching the end credit (nearly 3 hours later), to see what roles the main stars appeared in and to see that they had played characters of the opposite sex.
