First Mad Max trailer...



Certainly looks Mad Max-y

There's even a "The Cars that ate Paris" VW Bug in there.


Apparently it's set after 1 and before 2. And it looks AWESOME.

Seeing as the first 2 were trash I am not expecting anything better with this one.


Can't find any info anywhere to suggest this is not the finished version.
Pretty certain it is.

That said, having watched it, it looks to me like it was originally intended to be a 15 certificate & they've now edited it down to be PG-13. Lots of quick cutaways (is that a word ?) during action bits where you'd expect the camera to linger a bit longer and show a bit of gore etc.

Anyway, found it mildly entertaining in a switch-your-brain-off sort of way (and Snipes & Banderas were quite amusing in parts...)

Was the other film you talk about "Wolverine" ? That was leaked about 6 months before cinema release and was missing loads of FX.

The CGI was pretty awful, if this is the final release, then they obviously spent all their budget on the fees of the actors!

It was ok, the first hour was terrible, but the last fight was pretty good and Banderas was reasonably funny.

I watched Grown Ups 2 at the weekend. There was literally no plot, they didn't even try to establish any and just jumped straight into the ludicrous situations... and it was funny! Much funnier than I expected :D

Whilst it looks good and has some better huge monster fights in it than Pacific Rim the funny bits are massively laboured and Cate Blanchett's Scottish accent is actually worse than Simon Pegg's.

If your kids nag you to see it I would just try and find another showing of the Lego Movie if I were you.


I saw the Lego Movie - it was AWESOME> I bought teh tshirt and everything and have ordered another Lego Movie Tshirt which is arriving tomorrow, whoop whoop!

Watched 'Short Term 12' on Netflix this evening.

It's been on my list since it got a load of very positive reviews and awards last year and it didn't disappoint.

Highly recommended and a solid 9/10. I sprung a leak on more than one occasion so possibly not a good first date film unless you're trying to show off your tender side.

Rotten Tomatoes page here (99% fresh from 146 reviews) - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/short_term_12_2013/

Wiki here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Term_12

Just got back from the cinema, Guardians of the Galaxy was acebest imo. A excellent 80's soundtrack with lots of retro jokes, very unusual (but then the comic was also) almost to the point it doesn't feel like it fits with the other Avenger films but hey any film that brings me Groot and Rocket Raccoon is pure awesome.

Went to see it in 2D, but a few scenes were obviously wedged into the film to justify 3D.

Zero on the Craster Scale but will happily give it an 8 out of 10.

Also WTF with the clip at the end after the credits.....won't say anymore but it is a very odd clip.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Howard the Duck...erm WTF

Wow, Spider-Man 2 is probably the most unnecessary film ever. It does nothing that wasn't done in the last set of Spider-Man films. Plus I hate Peter Parkers stupid hair.

1/10. 1 for Emma Stone,

I loved The LEGO Movie. Everything was awesome. Except the bit at the end, that was a bit shit.

I watched Ladyhawke last night for the first time in about 25 years (or more) and while it possibly wasn't as good as I remember it's still certainly got its nice moments. Rutger Hauer is always a pleasure to watch. Matthew Broderick is a bit irritating in it though.

Guardians of the Galaxies was amazing. Genuinely hilarious, totally in the same tone as James Gunn's lower budget stuff, and great cast of characters.

Probably the best Marvel movie to date.

It was really very good. I was shocked at how funny Dave Bautista (Drax) was. He was brilliant.

Also, the City under threat was modelled used famous London landmarks as things to get blown up. I was particularly excited to see my former office (The Lloyd's Building) to be the first to get levelled.

Anyway, it's excellent, and easily the funniest Marvel movie to date too.

I watched a film too: Machete Kills Again.

Frankly, I can't understand why they bothered. It's not funny, it's not nearly as gory and over the top as it thinks it is and poor Danny Trejo looks like the butt of the joke as this short old guy and appears very tired throughout.

I didn't care for the first one at all but I got what they were going for even if they couldn't sustain a 2 hour movie.

This, on the other hand, was just bad. It tried to parody the low rent B movies of past but just ended up as a poor movie. Unintentionally Sharknado bad.

Wasn't that keen on GotG - too much focus on big space spectacles, I much preferred the scenes where the characters were just riffing off each other - although I suppose you wouldn't have much of a film with just that.

I agree with that entirely and because of that I didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping to. It's still good and all but just not as good.

I've finally gotten around to watching The Raid.

Pretty good! But not as good as The Protector - the four-minute single take of Tony "Bone-breaking machine" Jaa making his way though the restaurant will take a lot of beating.

Ooh, mental note to seek out more Tony Jaa-ness. I haven't heard much from him in a while.

I've watched a film "A Haunted House 2"

It's that Wayans Brother who made Scary Movie. This time he's back for another crack at a parody of Paranormal Activity.

I can tell you this much: his humour is not for me. Too much racial comedy. The black guys are gang banging ass thugs who say cuzzzz while the white people are suburbanites who wear jumpers tied around their necks. It's crass, stupid and largely offensive.

Then he has a five minute sequence where he has sex with a demonic doll and suddenly I'm in stitches against my will.

Then he has a fight with a hen which is also hilarious.

It's garbage but those two bits gave me some guilty laughs If you liked Scary Movie then you'll like this, but I can't honestly see anyone on here liking that shit cause you're all way too awesome.

Watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night.

There's a lot of silly in it that you can't help but notice (a video camera that has been left plugged in for 10 years by quite the stroke of luck and the battery hasn't just corroded the fuck away) and you can predict quite a lot of the dialogue and some of the characters are absolutely 2 dimensional or just plain boring.

However - the underlying conflict and the apes themselves are really well done with no obvious strings attached other than one point where they pick up a woman and she kicks out and it just looks massively out of place. That only sticks out so much because the rest of it just looks completely real.

Overall 7 / 10. If you like dual machine gun wielding apes on horseback (I SHIT YOU NOT) then this is the kind of thing you will like.

To prove Lewie's point about Guardians otg I thought it was okay but not that great.

Too frenetic, too superficial. Difficult to truly care for anyone.

Still it was pretty good fund whilst it lasted (which wasn't too long) and it looked lovely. Could possibly have used a bit more downtime though as it was a bit of a barrage on the senses.

I really liked The Purge: Anarchy though. That was pretty much the movie I expected it to be, which was satisfying. Nothing truly special and rather predictable but it does its job properly.

The Quiet Ones is a film about a possessed girl and the university lecturer who is trying to cure her by "drawing the evil out" or something.

Don't bother with it.

Have there been any good horror films in the last five years?

Watched 'The Colony' on Netflix last night which reviewed terribly on Rotten Tomatoes so I wasn't expecting great things, but the user reviews on Netflix were a bit more balanced and it does have Laurence Fishburne and Bill Paxton in it.

Anyway, it was fine. A nicely made, competently executed 90 minute post-apocalyptic survival horror flick with decent effects (especially considering the budget), solid acting and an unremarkable but workmanlike script.

The action sequences are tense and effective, (there's a sequence just past the halfway mark which is proper good), and it moves towards a solid conclusion with commendable efficiency.

If you've got a 90 minute gap to fill you could do a lot worse than this - 7/10.

Watched "Coherence" last night.

It's a new low-budget film from a first-time writer / director about a bunch of 8 friends who meet for a dinner party. During the course of the evening, strange shit happens.

That initial description probably doesn't sound very promising, but after a 20-minute or so basic set-up this develops into a weird sci-fi Twilight-Zone type story that's quite creepy at times and has some clever ideas.

I really enjoyed it. It's no masterpiece but a solid 7.5/10 from me and I look forward to what the writer/director does next.

The Stag.... Dreadful Irish film about yes a Stag weekend

None Stop- Ok but nothing special

Captain America the Winter Soldier- Enjoyed this one, good action film and not spoilt by OTT CGI effects.

I saw Planes 2. It was much better than the first one, but then so was being mugged.

The Grimlet enjoyed it, the finale was great, and the fire looked beautiful. Predictable as fuck, though.

AC/DC were on the soundtrack, which always helps.

I took Mini Curio to that today as well! She seemed to think it was okay, but it's a little old for her, probably. She loves cinema as she gets pick n mix and then during the end credits she gets to dance down the front.

Also, she was actually singing along with AC/DC!

I watched Captain America : Winter Soldier at the weekend and thought it was very enjoyable. Some of the scenes where Cap kicks ass are really well done even if that serum seemed to make Steve Rogers able to calculate some extremely unlikely shield trajectories so that it nearly always comes back to him. It was so fucking cool I didn't mind.

However;

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
The fights with your UFC man on the boat and Bucky annoyed me because just because they are good are fighting doesn't mean one punch from a superpowered superhero shouldn't break everyone of your fucking ribs or shatter your nose. And a robot arm doesn't make the rest of you superpowered does it? After he was kicking people the fuck off boats he then resorts to having to pummel the fuck out of someone who then still managed to get up and run away. Bollocks.

Also a bit lucky that the helicarriers fell slap bang back into the water rather than killing rather a lot of people by landing on the city they were flying over and asploding eh?

Oh final moan - The Black Widow has worked at Shield for like for fucking ever - she would possibly know that the "Biometric maguffin" she is asked to pin to her lapel by the evil puppet master might just not be benign?


But you know, comic book movie so certain allowances made - 8/10

Watched “Locke” last night…basically an hour and a half of Tom Hardy driving while making and taking phone calls.

Excellent, I have never been so interested in concrete based telephone calls before.

Would recommend.

Me too. I thought it was quite good considering it was just Tom Hardy in a car.

Also watched Locke last week and it was great indeed.

Yesterday watched Rise of the Planet of The Apes, and i honestly don't know what to think. The film was filled with incredibly stupid and a cliché scenes and dialogue. It was exactly like every other action movie released in the last 20 years. I always felt a deja vu in almost every scene. But still was fun in a brainless way.

Not long ago Cracked wrote an article how The Dark Knight rises is exacly like that James Bond movie with Denise Richards. Can't argue with that but they have thrown so many more movies into that thing.

Another recommendation for "Locke" here.

Watched it about a month ago and thought it was great.
If you tried to explain the plot / structure of the film to most people they probably wouldn't be impressed in the slightest.

Tom Hardy is awesome though and this film works mostly because of his performance (the script is solid as well though).

It was OK, I thought I wouldn't like it given its not that long since the last series of films

Bit more of a comic edge to it, in the film Peter Parker has the Spider man theme tune from one of the cartoon series (I think?) as his ring tone.

I watched the first one of this current reboot the other day not expecting to think much of it but I ended up really enjoying it (the presence of Emma Stone probably not doing much harm there). That second one isn't supposed to be as good but I'll definitely watch it now having enjoyed the first one.

As for a comic edge though, remember that the Tobey Maguire series of films had J. K. Simmons doing a hilarious scenery-chewing version of JJ Jamieson. Also a comedy rendering of the morning when he wakes up with his spider powers; jism inferences aplenty! Which reminds me that I never watched the third one of that series, maybe I'll add it to my Lovefilm list as well just to ensure utter Spider-Man confusion.

Too late, I've done it now. And that which has been added to the Lovefilm list can never be removed.
