Thought Transfomers was OK, kids loved it, but managed to get to Cineworld a second time this weekend to see Planet of the Apes and boy I'm glad I did. Thought provoking, lots of action set pieces, remarkable special effects and solid dialogue. Very recommendable.1

Watched the zero theorem yesterday. Terry Gilliam's latest. I'm a big fan of his but this wasn't his best let's say.0

You're being very kind, buckshee.
Guardians of the Galaxy is surprisingly good. Went in hoping it's be bad enough to knock Marvel of their perch. Turned out it's a really funny romp of silliness and one-liners. The racoon is great. The walking tree is even better. 4/50 -
Isn't that one part of a trilogy? I'd never heard of the others before.Nadou said:It got terrible reviews but the four people I went with really enjoyed CHINESE PUZZLE. Light, funny, filled with beautiful women, and showing off sides and sights of New York you don't often see, plus the French actor Romain Duris is a charismatic star.

Yes, the first one was Pot Luck (L'Auberge Espangnol), the second was Russian Dolls (Les Poupees Russes). All directed by Cedric Kaplish. The three films follow the fortunes and growing-up of a group of students who all meet each other in flat share in Barcelona. They are all charming and amusing filmsand, as I said, Romain Duris is a real (unusual) star.JiMMy 85 said:

I know it has been out for a couple of years but I watched The Railway Man last night.
Not a film for the faint hearted. A film based on the autobiography of Eric Lomax who was part of the British Army who surrendered to the Japanese at the fall of Singapore.
He was sent to work on the Burma/Siam railway. He suffered all the privations of that infamous time. He was tortured and beaten yet he survived.
My father was in the RAF in Burma at the end of the war and dropped supplies to these poor fellows who had been through the horrors of incarceration by the Japanese.
Watching the film has prompted me to learn more about what happened and the incredible heroism and resilience of those who were there. I have also read up about Lomax.

It's not that old, think it was released this year. Story has been done before but I hadn't seen it. I liked it, many didn't.0

Far from a new release but finally got round to watching The Grand Budapest Hotel last week.
I've never been totally convinced by Wes Anderson, but this was great.
Much darker than his usual offerings. Worth watching just for Willem Defo's "hitman".0 -
Starred up
Really good British prison drama that pulls absolutely no punches. Very good performance from leading actor Jack O'Connell . It's obvious comparison is Scum and justifiably so because it's as good if not better. Recommended.

Lone survivor.... Superb2

Locke
Tom Hardy is without doubt one the best British actors around at the moment and watching Locke just confirms it. The whole film is set in his car and consists of a series of phone calls that are about to change his future. Hardy IS this film . This won't be everyone's cup of tea because it's a million miles away from being Batman but i liked it.

Expendables 3 is on flixanity if you want to watch it. Silly fun but not as good as the other two. Glad I didn't pay to see it at the cinema0

Took my mum to see Welcome To New York today (the old dear likes Gérard Depardieu).
The film starts with 20+ straight minutes (trust me, that is an eternity) of his ample naked arse groping, shagging and finally raping his way through numerous young women, with rank gallic panting/growling the whole way through. The rest of the film was pretty poor but basically a relief.
Will be reading reviews before the next cinema outing.1 -
(you may or may not know), the film is based upon former imf leader domenique strauss kahn, who was/is a very bad/less than contrite/lucky to get off, little lad.Avi_dAddick said:Took my mum to see Welcome To New York today (the old dear likes Gérard Depardieu).

Can anyone who has seen Guardians advise whether the movie is suitable for a 9 year old? Transformers was fine. The swear words either flew over their head in that movie or they so know them it was water off a duck's back..1

I would say no, it's not suitable for a 9 year old. But I reckon I'd be in the minority on that as I wouldn't advise transformers either. I'd imagine the language is worse in Guardians. Thanos and co. Are far scarier than the decepticons. Guardians is childishly silly but largely aimed at adults.0

Thanks Jimmy0

As Above, So Below. A found footage movie about a girl looking for the Philosopher's Stone in the catacombs of Paris. Only recognisable face is Ginsberg from Mad Men.
Occasionally scary, a couple of obvious jumps... and enough cliches to get me laughing out loud on several occasions. Some of the cliches are brilliantly funny. It references Indiana Jones 3, The Descent, The Ruins... it's a so-bad-it's-good kind of horror.0 -
I would have been happy for my son to see it when was 9 - probably younger. The theme wasn't too complicated and on the basis that it was, we both agreed, the best film we'd seen for a long time I'd imagine that a lot of 9 year olds will see it. I don't remember any swear words either. The word 'Bitch' was as bad as it got, I think.JiMMy 85 said:I would say no, it's not suitable for a 9 year old.

Just a different opinion.0 -
Watched Guardians yesterday, really enjoyed it, some good humour - my 7yr old reckons it's the best film he has seen.0

Like I said, in the minority. I watched Robocop at that age so I'm probably not the right person for this.kings hill addick said:

Guardians: Maybe I'm a prude, but i didn't think it was that suitable for under 10's. Violence and swearing. Thought it fell between 2 audiences - too childish for adults; too violent for kids. My 13 yr old boy liked it, 10 yr old girl didn't. Over 16's: Go see Apes instead.0

Having said that; music was good. Long time since I've heard Cherry Bomb by The Runaways0

That's interesting as I love films like these. Yes they fail to test my intellect to it's limits, but that's not what I go to the cinema for.kafka said:Guardians: Maybe I'm a prude, but i didn't think it was that suitable for under 10's.

I do sometimes watch really intellectual dramas and/or documentaries but as a rule the time I spend looking at a moving screen is for relaxation, leisure and the chance to immerse myself 'in a world' that takes my mind off the one I live in.0 -
Majorly impressed by Dawn of the planet of the apes1
