Rate The Last Film You Watched

Legend (2015)
It's two hours long and moves at a rather slow pace - but it has some absolutely stellar acting in it.
Tom Hardy was excellent.

There's a lot of takes on the Kray brothers and their story so I wouldn't get too hung up on how 'accurately' it depicts it as it's just one interpretation.

If you're ok with slowpaced, slowbuilding movies with some amazing acting I'd totally recommend it.
A solid 8/10 for me.

Stuck at work this weekend, so lots of time to watch iffy movies. Last night I was feeling dystopian and so........

Surrogates http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986263/

Bruce Willis - wearing Donald Trump's spare hairpiece
Rosamund Pike - insert random fiithy thoughts here

I actually like this film, the premise is interesting and pretty well executed 7/10

Gamer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034032/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Gerard Butler - typecast as usual as.......Gerard Butler
Michael C Hall - quite, quite mad

Another really good idea - but not very well told 5.5/10
 
First off, watched Totally Bill Hicks which for the first part is a documentary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149281/ and the leads into a concert from 1993 at the Dominion Theatre London http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0152183/

Been a fan for many years and Relentless will always have a place in my heart, 'cos in the words of Max Boyce 'I was there'. My wife wasn't a fan, but she laughed so hard when he did the Randy Pan the Goat Boy bit, I thought her waters were going to break! 10/10.

Next I watched something that was not a laughing matter at all: Sicko http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386032/?ref_=nv_sr_1

It can be easy sometimes to lazily dismiss Michael Moore as a simpering liberal-nista, but he always raises some interesting points. In this he attacks the US lack of universal healthcare and HMOs and leaves feeling with an extra warm fuzziness over the NHS.

Finally and in need of some cheerful carnage Death Race http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0452608/?ref_=nv_sr_1

The Stath - Himself
Lovejoy - Accently challenged
Joan Allen - Expressions sponsored by Botox

This was more the movie that Mad Max should have been 6.5/10
 
Crimson Peak 6/10 moderately entertaining very much Hammer horror influenced one of the most beautifully filmed cinematography I've seen in a long time, If you have two spare hours in your life one evening and you are a old Hammer horror fan or a Edgar Alan Poe fan you will enjoy the film.
 
The Revenant.
Strange one this. Di-Caprio got an oscar for his acting - however has very little actual lines, so the Oscar was for two hours of grunting and frothing at the mouth.... Also for those that have seen this film - don't bears hibernate in the winter ? It was fairly gripping but ultimately quite a shallow plot line.
I'd give this a solid six out of ten. Most of those marks are for the stunning cinematography.
 
No Escape.

Surprisingly good and pleasantly brisk action film which keeps up the pace and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. Nice turn from Pierce Brosnan in a Basil Exposition role - I did start laughing at the rooftop jump/hurling sequence though.

Unless you have an IQ north of 140, I wouldn't recommend you watch these back to back, you can literally feel your brain cells drain away to such a level that unless your IQ is north of 140 - there's a real chance you may become so stupid you lose all autonomic functioning.

7/10 for daring to be so dumb and having Amy Smart sans clothing.:cool:

Wish someone wud have telled me dat earlierer
 
Home alone this weekend so I've been watching a fair bit...

Mad Max: Fury Road - Starts fast and loud and doesn't stop. Credit to the director that this doesn't become monotonous and the 2hrs + flew by for me. One of the most visually impressive films I've seen.

Jupiter Ascending - A mess of plot, pacing, tone and Eddie Redmayne's pretty awful in it. On the plus side it's got some fun sci-fi bits and is visually impressive. Worth watching just to see Sean Bean talk about bees being genetically engineered to recognise royalty while keeping an admirably straight face.

Legend - Tom Hardy's brilliant. Not the classic the press made it out to be but certainly a good film. The voiceover annoyed the hell out of me though and felt intrusive. When someone is clearly depressed, unhappy and taking pills you don't need a voiceover telling you that they're depressed and taking pills.

Godzilla - Needs less little humans talking and more big things going stompy-stomp. Godzilla ends up being something of a Deus Ex Machina figure in the last act of his/her/it's(?) own film.
 
Green Room
A horror thriller movie (indie/low budget), pretty good actually, albeit not for all audience: an amateur punk band defending themselves against some kind of neo-nazi gang led by Patrick Stewart (yes, Captain Jean-Luc Picard).
