Horrible film. It's been a good while since I saw it, but I can't think of a single good thing about it.


That's a fair write up. Yeah, horrible. There was plenty of things that didn't make sense either... Like treating a flooded quarry like a beach for instance?

I've just read the write up. I really, really don't see why films like that are made.

I think it depends. I mean something like Texas Chainsaw Massacre is similar in many respects but I think that it's fucking great. It gives you a lot of the same feelings but there's enough dark comedy and absurdity in there to offset the horror. I can't remember Eden Lake all that clearly but it has some funny bits doesn't it?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre felt grimy and otherworldly in places. Eden Lake just sounds like a bunch of horrible people being evil to each other, with some gore thrown over as garnish.

I haven't seen Eden Lake, BTW. For the same reason I haven't seen Hostel or Serbian Film. I know that I would hate it.

There's no humour in Eden Lake at all so yeah, it is very grim. Not like Texas Chainsaw Massacre at all.

I wouldn't say Eden Lake was especially gory - it wasn't even that violent. It was tense as buggery and a horrible thing to watch, but I didn't dislike it as a film.

I watched Eden Lake a couple of years ago and thought it was very good.

Knew exactly what it wanted to do, and executed it (no pun intended) with ruthless efficiency.

Would never watch it again though.

775/1000

(Note - It's tame compared to A Serbian Film.)

I am very pleased to see to that the early word of mouth from reviewers is that this is going to be awesome!

I'm booking a seat for iMax for this I think.

I’m sick of Marvel films. Then I watched Spider-Man Homecoming and I love them all now. It made me laugh more than a couple of times especially when his mum catches him in the end scene. What a groovy little film. Much better than Guardians of the Galaxy 2 even though Spidey had its own fair share of rubbish tropes.

You hung on for the after-credit scene, right? Best gag of the film.

'Snowden' was added to Netflix a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd give that a go last night. Certainly a lot of big names in the cast, but I think I'd have been better off with a documentary rather than a dramatisation. I find the subject interesting enough as it is without dressing stuff up (the rubik's cube bit for instance) to try and make work better as a film.

I have no nostalgia over Blade Runner at all. I can’t even remember the original that much other than Harrison Ford is in it. I’d better watch it The Final cut again to remind me if I even liked it.

I would love to see the new Blade Runner, but my 3 month daughter disagrees. I hope in one month or so she'll be a bit less fussy so i can leave her with her grandmother....but since this is a 3 hour movie, I doubt it.

It is very much a movie to experience in the theatre, right?

Off to see the new Brade Runner tonight, can't wait. Although I'm up to my eyeballs in manflu which won't be fun.

In other movie news, I watched The Guard last night, an Irish "low-budget" film ($6m) starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle, playing an Irish cop and an FBI agent respectively. It's brutal, strangely hilarious and oddly moving all at the same time.

Thoroughly recommended.

I love The Guard. The interaction between the two of them is pitch perfect but I also really love Mark Strong's weary criminal fucked off with the idiots he has to work with.

I watched The Guard after seeing loads of good chat about it on here and it was alright but not as good as everyone said. What is an incredible film is Calvary, which is by the same director and also stars Brendan Gleeson which I suspect you'll also really like if you enjoyed the Guard.

I rewatched The Guard last weekend when my chum was over as he wanted to see it, and I was happy to watch it again.

After my original watch I wasn't sure if it was 'better' than Calvary or not (definitely different though).

viewtopic.php?p=950685#p950685

After the rewatch I'd say Calvary is the better film, it's a far heftier piece of work.

The Guard is great though.

Another vote from me for Mark Strong's world-weary henchman. He's a great actor. Very good in Grimsby as well. Or anything he's in, come to think of it.

The Lego Ninjago Movie is okay.

Some genuinely funny parts, and some other bits of silliness that made me smile, but it didn't seem to hang together quite as well as the first Lego movie (to my shame I haven't seen the Batman one).

Also, having watched all of the Ninjago series with the child, it was weird how different this was from that, despite them throwing in a few references and nods for those who know the source material better.

Stay tuned for my next cinema update, likely to be about My Little Pony!
