What movie did you watch last night? (1 Viewer)

[David Kronenbourg]

fell asleep about halfway through which is a shame because i was enjoying it but i doubt i'll pick it back up again. the half that i saw was a good looking mix of zombie/vampire/road/post-apocalyptic movies. may have descended into silliness by the end but i'll never know

I beat you to this one a good few pages back. My review was something like 'Loads of ridin and stuff'

That's a pretty accurate synopsis right there.

This was an interesting story, brilliantly acted, although it dragged in parts and felt very long. Plus the Frenchie is cute but too damn French

Agree with everything you have to say about the flick. Certainly worth a look. Bit too many scenes with no dialogue and a lone instrument as a soundtrack I think.

i preferred cloverfield. the problem with super 8 is that it starts off really well, a fun spielberg/80s adventure movie homage, but as soon as the monster appears all the tension is sucked from the film. the ending is massively shit. cloverfield has a much more frightening concept, a huge unknown entity destroying new york, and a much better monster

I really liked this but I thought the monster was a bit lame too. If it was a model/animatronic it would have been way better, it was incongruous in the middle of the retro fest.

my sentiments exactly sir. the gf was all excited watching it and about 3/4 way through we were both bored and the ending really sealed the shitty deal

Like my review on the last page says: Super 8 - Super meh

 

[pete]

Super 8 - Enjoyed it, but definitely let down by the ending.
Blitz - Meh. Alright I suppose.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Hilariously surreal.

I really enjoyed this. Could have been longer with more monkey chaos but it was a minor complaint. Also I wouldn't trust my opinion on any simian related films - I'm very biased that way.

Blitz - Meh. Alright I suppose.

I dunno why but I expected a realistic gritty cop drama from this. Once I realised it wasn't I really enjoyed it.

Hesher. Good stuff.

 

[mark]

The Dualists. Had never heard of it before. it was chuffing deadly.

Die Hard in the cinema. I cheered when Alan Rickman talked about the New Provo Front. Fucking great stuff.

 

[ann post]

13 assasins. i like that sorta craic. plot dealt with in the first 20 mins, then hacking with swords for a few dynasties.

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah 13 assassins was coooool!

The wild bunch. Sam Peckinpah's violent gritty western about a gang of ageing thieves looking to do one last big robbery before hi-tailing to Mexico. But with a gang of mercenary and the us army chasing them, plus getting caught up in battle between Mexican general and native people from the area, it doesn't go according to plan...

Beetlejuice - Not nearly as good as I recall from when I was 6. Some of the look of it still holds up, especially the Beetlejuice stairs snake creature, but there's not much of a story to it. Best bit is in the dead waiting room.
