TORONTONY Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Imitation Game last night, very absorbing and interesting with excellent acting, but you have to pay attention, with all the back flashes and 3 different periods in the main character's life. 8/10 Edited October 3, 2015 by TORONTONY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top4718 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Open Windows - 4/10 - Techno thriller based around webcam technology that misses the mark, stars ex porn start Sasha Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top4718 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 A Walk Among The Tombstones - 6/10 - Another tough guy role for Liam Neeson as a PI asked to investigate the murder of a drug dealers wife, not bad but some of the peripheral characters are very annoying. Death Proof - 7/10 - Lesser Tarantino but still Tarantino so worth a look. ---------- Post added 12-10-2015 at 22:19 ---------- American Sniper - 7/10 - There has been some debate as to whether this film should portray Chris Kyle as a hero or not but put that aside and its a good film, the tour of duty sections are very powerful.

L00b Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Kingsman: The Secret Service - 7/10 - Quite violent amped up OTT Bond-like film, entertaining but a bit overlong. That church scene is movie cult material. Everest, powerful, not fun or uplifting, based on a true story, lots of everest footage, then most everyone dies. 8/10 Mods, can we have spoiler tags enabled? Sicario Solid 9+. I expect Oscar nominations for Roger Deakins (cinematography) and Benicio Del Toro (supporting actor). Emily Blunt is also en forme, and in parts truly excellent. Film of the year for me, so far. John Wick 8+ Best revenge flick in years, superior action/choreography/legend-building, best Keanu Reeves vehicle since the Matrix. The RAID 2 8+ Worthy sequel to the original, the continuity between both movies is excellent. This is just as visceral an action movie as the first (so up there in anyone's "top 10 action flicks since, well, ever"), in parts still more violent, and the cast of villains is straight out of a manga (see Kill Bill 1/2 for a more westernised version).

top4718 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Night Moves - 4/10 - A group of friends plan to blow up a dam for the sake of ecology, slow and ponderous with little dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The Gift 7/10 I don't know if this was a thriller or drama- but it does keep you glued because you expect something 'big' is going to happen. Either way it's a decent film, Joel Egerton is good and creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Suffragette. 7.25/10.00 Very good. Bit too much shaking camera work, and plunging focus effects, but resisted the urge to turn it into a story of redeption, love, regret etc or tacking on a boss fight or emotional closure sequence, etc. Great performances, convincing, not too long.

top4718 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Get On Up - 6/10 - Biopic of James Brown whilst the lead actor Chadwick Boseman is brilliant as JB the editing and non-chronology of the story make it a mess which is a shame. It Follows - 4.5/10 - Homage to 80's horror films that doesn't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGo_dancer Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 We went to see The Martian on Sunday. Wasn't expecting much but it was pretty good. I can see it becoming a new version of Apollo 13....one of those films you can happily watch over again. It had our very own Sean Bean in it and he played a character called Mitch Henderson...couldn't help but wonder if the Henderson was deliberate!
