    Need for Speed

    For his birthday i took my 11 year old son and his friends to see Need for Speed and to be fair the film is probably aimed at boys his age. Needless to say they loved it. It's easy to be sniffy about this movie. Yes it's utterly ridiculous , yes it's far fetched and yes it has so many plot holes but do you know what? I've seen a lot worse recently.

    White House down... Erm yeah... Better than the similar thing with Gerard butler.

    7/10

    Channing Tatum is believable as a serviceman.
    His daughter is well acted.
    The president is Jamie Foxx and well acted.
    James woods is the baddy.

    I must admit that I don't see too many films at the cinema but I pity you if you have seen a lot worse recently and paid for them :-)

    Watched this a while ago, it's a great example of how to do a film with lots of explosions but not much brains. Nothing wrong with that genre of film at all, as long as it's done well.

    Got to agree, as I had a long day I needed brainless action... I'm now watching Elysium which is trying hard to have a story but is just so crap... I never stop a movie early though! All I've got so far is there's two androidy types and one of them got fatal radiation poisoning... Oh now there's one.

    Okay... Pile of shit... Very beautiful and very easy on the eye, but not enjoyable.

    The story had so many holes it was unreal.

    Elysium...
    4/10 that 4 is those beautiful graphics.

    Saw Dallas Buyers Club on the flight out to Florida yesterday. Probably the best film I have seen this year so far and worthy of all the awards it has won. Then caught a bit of True Detective on the tv and Matthew Mcconaughey shines in this too.

    Her

    Two excellent performances in an intriguing film. Scarlett Johansson's is all the more impressive given that it's voice only.

    Samantha Morton was the original voice of Her. For some reason they got Scarlett Johansson to dub over the dialogue after the film was shot.
    A good decision in my opinion , her voice is extremely sexy.

    Her is a very Good film .

    The Monument Men. I wanted to like, I tried to like it, but I didnt like it. Mealy mouthed pointless sentimental claptrap,however well acted. Awful script, poor direction and flitted around. Waste of a good bunch of actors. 5/10 just for the acting.

    Philomena

    A wonderful , bitter sweet film that shows how evil the Catholic church is can be , when a young boy is taken away from a young girl and is sold to an American couple .
    Dame Judy Dench is fantastic as Philomena , who fifty years later , searches for her son.
    A true story.

    Watched Nebraska last night, excellent film - slow paced, poignant and funny - one of the best I have seen in a long time....
  • Saw Non-Stop at the weekend and that was fairly good. Interesting idea and development of the plot but I felt fairly let down by the ending. Decent but wouldn't see it again. 6/10 maybe 7.

    Grand Budapest Hotel
    Very funny but slightly sad in places. Very well acted even though it's almost like a cartoon. Highly recommended.

    Just got tickets for Frank at the Sundance Film Festival in Greenwich.

    Saw Non-Stop at the weekend and that was fairly good. Interesting idea and development of the plot but I felt fairly let down by the ending. Decent but wouldn't see it again. 6/10 maybe 7.

    Would anyone watch a film again whilst it was still fresh in the memory? 'Recently' I enjoyed The Adjustment Bureau, Source Code, the third of Nolan's Batman films but I have no desire to watch them again at the moment as I think I can remember them too well.

    Having said that, I've watched Zulu, The Great Escape, The Alamo and Aliens more times than I care to remember, know them all almost off by heart and would still sit down and watch any or all of them again.

    Pretty sure I could watch a fair number of films over and over again, and I've seen a number twice in the cinema. LOTR, Team America, The Godfather and a number of others I could watch numerous times. My mate saw The Dark Knight Rises 3 times in a week.

    But my point was more that I don't really plan on ever watching it again, if me and some friends had a choice of watching that or a few other films i'd probably suggest something different.

    Starred up - thought it was a good gritty British film reflecting grim prison life.

    Last nights offering was Pompeii. Despite some poor write up's it wasnt too bad, although the Eddie Murphy lookalike Gladiator called Atticus, made poor old Kit Harrington look like a little boy. Keifer Sutherland played his hideous self and the visuall effects were very good apart from the last scenes involving the chariot (they must have run out of money by that stage). All in all not bad, so I give it 6/10

    saw World war Z on Sky the other evening. Excellent action scenes and a decent "apocalyptic" film. 7/10

    Bad Country is the dogs bollocks.
  • Took my nine year old son to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier tonight. I have to say we love the Marvel films, but it was fantastic and we both loved it.

    It was much better, in my view, than the Thor sequel, which we enjoyed but would probably not go to too much trouble to watch again.

    Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

    Finally got around to seeing this film after much anticipation. Inevitability it was a big disappointment. I laughed three or four times which is poor for a comedy that is over two hours long. I think they missed a trick by not having a spontaneous barber shop moment as they did in the first film with the "Afternoon Delight" song.

    Nebraska - excellent. Bruce Dern is brilliant as is all the cast and some genuinely unexpected laugh out loud moments especially from Derns on screen wife.
