Now You See Me 6/10

One Day - 7/10

Good romantic comedy. Nothing incredible but quite moving.

World War Z, was more enjoyable than expected. A little cliché but overall good fun.

Just watching Scott Pilgrim, such an unlikeable film.

Tombstone - 7/10

Solid western, great ensemble cast. I think it was filmed a bit too "modern" if that makes sense.

Enjoyable romp though.

City Of God 9/10

Evil Dead II awful/10
just seems like a rehash of the first film but a bit different

Jesus strawberry floating Christ.

Shaun of the Dead - 9/10

Scott Pilgrim vs the World - 9/10

Edgar Wright

Man of Steel - 9/10

Really enjoyed it. Heard many complains that it is too serious but what were they going in expecting?

Django Unchained - 8/10

Loved the style of the film and the cast in general!

Holy strawberry floating gooseberry fool, I can actually call you ignorant

Seen quite a few films over the last few days:

Man of Steel: 6, Action felt very weighty, but I didn't enjoy the story that much.
The Incredibles: 9, My favorite Pixar film.
The Departed: 9: Really enjoyed this. So many great characters.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: 8, Really fun and I love the over the top cartooney-ness of it.
Surrogates: 4, Not terrible, but nothing really redeeming. 'Bland' would be a good word to describe it.

World War Z

Even as a big fan of the book, I was actually quite enjoying the first half (or so) of this. It was fast and frenetic, if a little nonsensical, and had some genuine 'jump scares', I thought. The Zombies were quick and relentless and offered a decent enough sesne of threat. I'm not saying it was briliant or anything, but it was fairly enjoyable in a 'switch brain off to watch' kind of a way.

But then, boy did it really fall off a cliff. Everything after Israel was just really awful. And the whole last section, with the sleepy Z's, really lost any sense of menace that the film had sort of gained early on. There was a reasonably large group of people (well, teenage lads, really...) in the cinema who were actually just laughing at the shambling, window-nutting zombies at the end. And as annoying as that was, I couldn't help but see where they were coming from. The whole thing just reminded me of the scene in Shaun of the Dead where they 'act' as zombies. Chronic.

And as for Brad drinking that can of coke.....

Still, it's not beyond saving; there could be a decent sequel dragged out of it, I suppose.

It was terrible though. Tbh it is 26 years old so the special effects wasn't up to much. But then i did just watch the 2013 version of Evil Dead which was awesome!

Have you seen the original Evil Dead?

not properly. But a bunch of people go to the cabin and the evil dead kills them. Evil Dead II = pretty much the same thing

Might watch Army of Darkness today.

Oh you'll just love that.

Young people today
