Let's have a films thread.

14/100 - Project Almanac - 7/10

MTV presents The Butterfly Effect starring the cast of Glee!

Except somehow it's majorly watchable and smart and considering it's a time travel flick centred around teenagers the plot actually plays. The found footage device loses its worth around the third act but I'm being picky. The final scene is also pretty ****ing dumb.

I'm only mentioning minor faults because describing the plot would be spoiler central.

Enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it.

I saw that on the plane the other week. A pretty fair assessment.

15/100 - Ted 2 - 6/10

Exactly as ****ing stupid as expected but laugh out loud funny in spots. The Tom Brady parts were really funny. The completely unnecessary Breakfast Club homage was great. The improv scene buckled me and Steven Tyler -Soccer mom looking Goonie monster is still creasing me.

When it tries to get a plot two thirds in the flick loses a lot of its humour which was the only thing keeping me interested. Ends on a real damp squib because of it.

16/100 - Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 - 5/10

Urgh. Makes Dumb and Dumber look like Memento. I'm dumber just for considering watching it. Terrible nonsense.

[General Smuts]

17/100 - Divergent - 6/10

Watchable. Teen flicks these days are way darker than in my day. American Pie this ain't.

I saw this on the plane as well. Thought it was crap.

[Kitchandro]

It Follows

Was told it had great reviews and was the critics' film of the year.

 

It's shit. I'm easily scared and I didn't find it very scary at all. I kept expecting the plot to develop but it never does. It ends at a totally random point. I'm not even sure of the point of some of the scenes.

 

Strange, wasted evening.

The next ones even worse.

18/100 - Insurgent - 5/10

Divergent: Reloaded. Drivel.

I caught It Follows. I thought the atmosphere was absolutely horrifying throughout.

[Tincy]

Chained.

One messed up film

[Tincy]

One of my favs

[daddylonglegs]

I watched Lucy the other night.

 

I am genuinely offended by how terrible it is, it might be the worst film I've ever seen.

 

Wtf was Morgan Freeman thinking

[Finnegan]

Saw Terminator last night. Suitably ridiculous. Fun stuff. Not actually read any film reviews in a while, I can imagine it getting panned but it was fair dumb laughs.

Worth watching.

[The Doctor]

Suicide Squad trailer I'm seriously unsure on, I like the look of Harley Quinn in it but the Marilyn Manson style joker is really annoying me

[fleckneymike]

 

I'd be concerned by the length of that trailer. Aren't we at nearly 5 minutes of footage now?

[Samilktray]

Still Alice

What a bloody good movie

This. I said the same thing after seeing it last night, Harley Quinn looks spot on, but I'm still very much unsure on Leto's Joker. That said, I know I'll moan about it, but it'll still grow on me and I'll still enjoy it.

I don't get the impression she's nailed the Quinn accent judging on the teaser though, Yael Stone from Orange Is The New Black would've been perfect for it imo if anyone's seen that.

That Jurassic Park scene though.  Any film that can combine 2 of my favourite things so perfectly like that can't be allowed to rank any lower than 8 imo.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Trailer pretty much proves my concerns for Gadot as Wonder Woman weren't misplaced.

Hahahah I did enjoy that part in fairness.

[Beliall]

Jurassic world.

As expected, enjoyable. 7/10

Ted 2

Like watching an extension of the trailer. Piss funny and shit in equal measures. 6/10

Not seen the trailer so take my comment with a pinch of salt but Jared Leto is an inspired choice.

Anyone expecting him to do an impression of Heath Ledger will be disappointed though. Whoever follows Ledger was obviously going to have to take it in a different direction and put their stamp firmly on it. Fortunately SS should be a different enough film that it calls for a different enough Joker.
