True Grit 9/10 with Jeff Bridges an excellent movie well worth seeing.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

True Grit 8/10 - Some excellent performances and beautifully shot as you'd expect from the Cohen Bros.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I would go to 9.5/10 for True Grit.

Jeff Bridges and the Cohen Bros can do no wrong in my eyes but in this case the star of the show, for me, was Hailee Steinfelt playing the young Mattie Ross.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

True Grit 8/10 love all the Coen Brothers film, and thought this film was more more Oscar worthy than Black Swan, for reasons in above posts.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Easy A - 7/10.

Good fun, with a nice twist on the tale of "The Scarlet Letter".

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watched yesterday afternoon 'Love is a many splendored thing' (1955) with William Holden and Jennifer Jones. 10/10 One of my all time favourite films, probably a 3 hanky job. :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Gullivers Travels - Excellent and super funny - Jack Black is a legend :) 8/10 (I'm a hard man to please so nothing ever gets 10/10)

Due Date - Very Good, Robert Downey Jr plays a part similar to his own personality (a-la Iron Man) but it just missed out something but can't place my finger on what exactly 6-7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Fighter

Bale was excellent, the film was good, well worth a watch. Exactly what I expected.

A good 8/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I've got a few films like that..

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Home movies.:D:D:D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

'Heaven Knows, Mr Allison' (1957) (Yes I know I like the old ones) Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum 7/10, no hankies.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just finished watching Shine for the second time since renting it from the video shop in 1998/9

A must see. 9.5/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Inception (bluray) - 10/10 - great film, even better on bluray
Sunshine (bluray) - 7/10 good, but not fantastic

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

:tu::D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rango

Most people laughed at the burp

The rest of the time we watched in silence

People leaving the cinema seemed to talk about anything but the film

Technically lovely at times, but generic and often mundane

4/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Rango 8/10

Found it really funny and lots of western references. Also a reference or two regarding Hunter S Thompson as well.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Fanboys - 6.5/10 - amusing.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Paul (last week) - 8/10 Very Funny.

Tangled (also last week) 6/10 - It was a good film, except I dislike musicals, and this was partly musical (not at all obvious from the trailers).

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Joy Ride - :erm: :Yikes: 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Mechanic. 5/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Adjustment Bureau 10/10 a really good movie and one I would recommend to all.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Just finished watching `Neds`
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1560970/
Really spoilt it for me with not being able to understand the Dialect!
Looked like a pretty good film though.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Human Centipede 8/10

My wife and I just watched it, and really enjoyed it. Starts off like a cheesy horror movie full of cliches, then we thought it was really interesting, exciting, and funny in places.

Missus said it reminded her of Cronenburg, and I thought it did have some Fly/Naked Lunch elements to it.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Battle : Los Angeles 8/10

Very good, kind of black hawk down with aliens. A bit predictable at times but very enjoyable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Tangled 6/10 - Not really bothered about this one but the horse was funny and the kids loved it.

Shutter Island - 3/10 - Didn't really like this. Thought it was slow and predictable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Unknown - 7/10 - If you like the Bourne films, you'l like this.

The Adjustment Bureau - 8/10 - Takes a little bit of time to get going but an interesting storyline that will keep you gripped.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My local picture house had a double bill today, The Wrestler, followed by The Fighter. Since I hadn't seen either, I'm a member, and members get in free for double bills it seemed silly not to!

The Wrestler 8/10
The Fighter 9/10

really enjoyed both, interesting that the way The Wrestler was shot, that looked more like a documentary than The Fighter which was based on true events.

I think The Wrestler may be an amalgamation of the sad stories of several wrestlers rather than just one?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Shutter Island 8/10, the ending was predictable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Mechanic - 5/10
Battle: Los Angeles - 7/10 (Blackhawk Down/Independence Day mashup).

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Adjustment bureau 8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Unknown - 7/10 very much in the Bourne style and worth a watch.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

skeletons , weird but wonderful

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Amadeus on catch-up. Excuisite. 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Battle: Los Angeles. 6/10

Not keen on the "jerky" camera, a bit too much at times.Plot was too much ID4/Black Hawk Down and had resonance with War of the Worlds. But that said, it still had something.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

300 8/10
Bought the DVD ages ago, but hadn't seen the film since we saw it at the cinema. Really enjoyed it. Funny things is while watching it we thought how cool some of it would have been if it had been made in 3d, I think that's the first time we've thought that about a film!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"Limitless" - I thoroughly enjoyed it. 8/10

Adjustment Bureau - I couldn't get into this at all, how I sat through it I don't know. 1/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hancock 8/10 better than I thought it was going to be, probably because it was a different film to what I was expecting :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Killing Bono 8/10

thanks to Virgin for free tickets, prob would have waited till TV otherwise but really enjoyed it, good comedy/drama. "Nathan" from Misfits is great, shows he can do a film as well as tv.

And swan song for Pete Postlethwaite who was as excellent as ever. Apparently he would have had a larger role if he hadn't been so ill :(

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Eagle 9/10 an excellent movie which even the wife enjoyed as it has a good story.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The switch

6/10 Had its funny parts, i like both the actors but it was just "another one of those movies" if you know what i mean

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Blues Brothers 8/10
it was on ITV mid week, hadn't seen it since I was a kid, 1st 1/2 is good, sets up the story, then 2nd half is brilliant insane comic road movie fun :)

Blues Brothers 2000 5/10
again on ITV midweek, hadn't seen it. I spent 1st half thinking it's not so bad as ppl make out, sets up the story nicely, but then 2nd half, rather than subtle nods to 1st film, it just regurgitates same jokes, but the story goes from silly fun to ludicrous nonsense, and I think as great as John landis is, he got bored so put stupid effects in for sake of it :(

Transporter 7/10
was on Tv a while ago, hadn't got round to watching it, but since 2 was on last night, and 3 is on next week, thought we should watch to see if worth watching other 2.
We enjoyed it, it is what is is, silly nonsense dumb action fun, very much like Police Story style Jackie Chan films :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

"Fair game"
7/10 good acting, reasonable story based on fact, camera work not so good, too much of the hand held shots..very disconcerting.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Source Code 8/10

Not bad at all, some of the plot twists are telegraphed early on but overall pretty good.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Think it was the original Star Wars EP4 - Digitally Remastered version when it first got released, walked out after 20 minutes due to the 'digital' crap, awful!! -10/10

Never been in a Cinema since!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The same here not a bad movie at all.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Currently watching "A Time To Kill" on Blu Ray. 8/10. In my opinion, it is the best of the John Grisham adaptations. Good cast, good story. Well directed and looks surprisingly good considering the fact that a lot of 90s films were shot on video. Not to mention the fact it has both Ashley Judd and Sandra Bullock in it.

The last film I saw at the Cinema? "The Eagle". Surprisingly epic historical fiction from Channel 4. Seems to be part historical epic and part road movie, but works well all the same.

7/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hobo With A Shotgun

Damn that was awesome! It's got loads of blood and violence. So awesome.

8/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Yeah, I found it fun to watch too. 6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Harry Brown 9/10

Could call it the British version of Gran Torino

Caine still has it!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Due Date 9/10

A lot funnier than the reviews it was given

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The last movie I saw in cinema was Limitless which I thought had a clever premise but rapidly became a rather daft action-thriller 5/10

Prior to that I saw The Eagle which had some good fight scenes and the Highlands looked stunning on the big screen but the rest of the movie was rather dull and predictable 6/10

Also saw True Grit last month which was a good solid Western movie but not quite up the standards of the Coen Brothers best movies 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I Spit On Your Grave (remake) : Very violent, disgusting, disturbing, twisted, absolutely pushes the limits of what's acceptable on film - fantastic:D . 8/10 (slow starter though).

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transporter 2 7/10 even crazier than the first, but more quality brainless action fun :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Saw an advanced preview of Insidious last night. It's a new horror from the team that created Saw and Paranormal Activity.

9/10 brilliant and totally terrifying. We were also treated to a Q&A with the writer and director as well :-)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

scream 1

10/10

they are well good movies love watching scream movies

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Rite - Very good 7/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Transport 3 5/10, v disappointing after other 2, more of the same would have been good, but too much conversation with stupid annoying woman, and not enough fighting, chases or guns :(

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I didn't bother with 3. I loved one, but was bored by two.


My last movie: Sucker Punch. This was better than I was expecting, but you won't enjoy it if you are expecting a sensible story line. Thankfully, I realised this a few minutes after the film started, so was able to put my mind in neutral and enjoy the action, which was impressive, if a little video game like in places. It's actually a lot like The Matrix in that way.

So, if you are expecting a good story well told, you'll probably be disappointed. If you are expecting good special effects, a good soundtrack, and some pretty girls kicking some serious ass in impressive sequences, try it, you may like it. The only downside is that camerawork can sometimes make it a little confusing to follow the action. It even looks a little like "Tekken" or "Virtua Fighter" in places.

One track that stands out is the one played over the intro to the movie. Emily Browning (who plays the lead, "Baby Doll", in the film) did an absolutely brilliantly haunting cover of "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)".

6/10.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Resident Evil:Extinction

At least I could fast-forward through to the action scenes.

3/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Source Code

8/10.

Very good, but I think that "Moon" is the better film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I liked Vera Farmiga.;)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

scream 2

10/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Source Code 8/10

TT3D Closer to the Edge 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

SCRE4M - 8/10. Good film, kept me guessing the majority of the time.
Well worth a watch if you are a fan of the series.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

i Cart wait to go see that I'm a huge scream fan.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Legion 5/10

Wasn't half as good as it looked unfortunately. Basically Constantine meeting Resident Evil.

Prince of Persia: Sands of time

9/10: Excellent movie if you can keep up with it, Well worth the watch if your fan of the game or even an ancient set film fan similar to The Mummy series and Clash of the titans

SCRE4M is definitely off my viewing list though. I just fail to see how re-doing the same thing over and over again sells, Its typical and having not viewed I still bet everything I have that I already know how it will end.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thor (3D) - 7.5/10

Good fun film, but (imho) the 3D didn't add that much.

Cameo half-way through from one of the Avengers (who hasn't starred in a film yet)

And stay till after the credits....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thor in 3D 1/10 and I will never get the time back even though it was a free movie offer from Virginmedia, if you want to waste your money do not bother with the 3D version as it is watchable even without the glasses.

NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE SLIGHTEST unless you are under 10 years of age.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well from 3 mates who saw it tonight they loved every moment and are huge comic book geeks.

It's only a 3D conversion though and wasn't shot in 3D. I only plan on seeing the 2D version.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I loved Thor in the comic books and did not think that this did it justice at all and doubt a sequel will be made.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Captain Britain? Hawkeye?

---------- Post added at 21:52 ---------- Previous post was at 21:49 ----------

well they are releasing all these Avenger films for the Avengers next year does that count as a sequal?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Probably not as it will not directly follow on from this story.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Well if this follows what has happened in some of the most recent Avenger movies from The Incredible Hulk onwards there will be some kind of presence by S.H.I.E.L.D tying them all together

In fact iirc a S.H.I.E.L.D found Thors hammer at the end of iron man 2 didnt they? ( well I assumed it was Thors Hammer)

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/iron_m.../videos/?v=170

Also Captain America's sheild is in Iron man 2 (and Iron Man)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Arthur: 4 out of 10 - Brand hams the part up way too much. It's a mildly amusing film, nothing more.

Scre4m: 6 out of 10 - Not a bad movie however I did manage to work out who done it with about 20 minutes to go. It's the first Scream movie I've managed to work out who the killer was so I was well chuffed!

I can't wait for The Hangover 2!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Insidious - 4/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thor 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Monsters. 3/10.........yes a great example of budget movie making.... But it's boring.

Skyline. 3/10........starts off well enough but they don't know where to take it....Less said about the end the better.

The millennium trilogy. 7/10...... Ever diminishing returns.... The dragon tattoo is obviously the strongest film ( but I worked it out, well guessed, the truth almost immediately). The other two are decent enough. Hard to follow though as all the names sound the same and all the men look alike.

Will wait to see what fincher and hollywood can do.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Your Highness - Silly and some very funny moments. 8/10

Fast & Furious 5 - Good action scenes, I liked it, one of my mates fell asleep throughout! 8/10 from me, 1 out of 10 from him!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

the mask 8/10

very funny lol

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Monsters: budget film making at it's most impressive 8/10

Fast&Furious Five : Loved Vin D,The Rock,great locations and great Action scenes! 8/10

Legend of the Guardians:The Owls of Ga'hool : great CG movie by Zach Snyder of 300 and Watchmen fame.... loved it 9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Fast five (2011)

9/10

Easily one of the best action films I've ever seen! More to come from the Fast and Furious franchise!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The American 1/10 Dire, I suggest it is avoided at all costs!!!!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Thor in 3D - 9/10 Amazing and totally can't wait to watch it again! Bring on Captain America and then the Avengers movie!

Fast & Furious 5 - 9/10 - Easily the best in the series.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

4,3,2,1

1/10 - No comment.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Tourist

8/10 - Pretty enjoyable albeit a little predictive.

I've seen this a few times and really enjoyed it. However I am a fan of Noel Clarke and loved his other two movies as well. what didn't you like about it?

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I thought I'd give it a watch because Kidulthood and Adulthood were both great and Influential films, Young girls parading around in their underwear with minimal acting skills kinda killed it for me :(

I think Noel Clarke has produced some great true to life movies and hope he continues doing so.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I really enjoyed the story in 4.3.2.1 and loved seeing it from the perspective of each of the main characters. Its also mostly the same actors as the other films too.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

tell me more....

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Rite: 6/10 - Bit boring/slow, but not to bad

The way back: 6/10 - Again, not to bad, bit slow, but watchable.

Little Fockers: 2/10 - .....rubbish :P

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

I went to see Thor in the Cinema with a friend on Wednesday.

Great film, a bit far fetched in parts but thats what happens when u put Comic Book Charactors onto film.

Id give it 8 out of 10. Also the guy that plays Thor is hot :-D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 - 8/10

I love this film, although it is a little dated. The soundtrack is just awesome.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Expendables 6/10

http://www.aveleyman.com/FilmCredit.aspx?FilmID=28508

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Little Fockers - 1/10 - What can I say? It was dire.

The Green Hornet - 1/10 - I turned this off after a while, as Seth Rogen was annoying me so much...

The King's Speech - 10/10 - I really enjoyed this, which surprised me.

Hanna - 10/10 - It's different, with a good soundtrack

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Pianist - 6/10 very annoying that there is no dialogue, I found myself trying to lip read.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

13 Assassins

Japanese Samurai action/drama by Takashi Miike.

A little slow to start with, but the fight scenes are brilliant, and the final battle is bloody epic.

7/10



Ah, a classic, from the golden days when Carpenter actually made good films :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Hanna 10/10

very good film

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Training Day. I watched this for the first time on the weekend and was blown away. Awesome film.

For me it's a 10 out of 10. Denzel deserved his Oscar!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Black Sheep: caught this on BBC1 and thought it was very amusing - 6/10

The Adjustment Bureau: disappointing sci-fi romance - 5/10
