The Last Seduction

Haven't seen it in years, but it's a terrific film

Yeah nobody does femme fatale like Linda Fiorentina. Just came across it on youtube

 

[Unicron]

He has yet to make a bad film. Stakeland is great, his best IMO.

I watched that last night. Really enjoyed it, thanks for the tip.

I thought Stakeland was just okay like, but a big part of that I think was that there have been far too many zombie/vampire/virus apocalypse films getting made over the past 10 years and a large amount of them are pretty shite really.

Indeed but I thought this was a fun and original take on those genres

 

[Cormcolash]

I don't think it was that original, I mean a lot of the stuff in it is very indebted to I Am Legend (not really talking about the film here), but it was quite fun I guess.

22 Jump Strwet - more of the same but pretty funny

Rob The Mob - entertaining crime caper with two great performances from Michael Pitt and Nina Ariansa

Sin City 2 - the film itself is boring and stupid but Eva Green - Jesus Christ!!!

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Scarecrow. Jesus Christ. What a fucking great movie. Two amazing performances by the two lads.

THE EQUALIZER

Denzil Washington plays Bryan Mills, who has gone undercover in Boston and changed his skin colour to avoid detection. Mills must single-handedly take on the might of Russia, something no man has managed since Richard Dunne. Will he succeed? Well, whaddya reckon?
This film is fucking amazing. Seriously, if you like Taken, you fucking HAVE to go and see this in the cinema. It's over 2 hours of Denzil Washington being completely fucking bad-ass. Loads of hilarious deaths, and one of the best (or at least funniest) explosion scenes ever put to film.
Aside from Taken, this reminded me a bit of Punisher:Warzone, but with the makings of a good film beside all the totally amazing comedy deaths.
Loads of Russian Mafia dudes die during this film. For the sequel, they should create a super-race of Russian/Albanian hybrids, and put Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington together to fight them all.

Plus points:

Denzel Washington being fucking bad-ass as fuck
Pretty good cliched Russian bad guy
Funny deaths
Funny explosions
Dirty cops
The film is really stylistically shot which helps add to the overall amusement
The soundtrack is fucking deadly - in particular the sound mixing for this film is fucking amazing

Minus points:

eh…

Overall - 9/10 - Not quite as good as Taken, only because he doesn't kill quite as many people in as short a space of time.

I could probably recite every line in that film.

Her.

it works very well on this level - Why 'Her' Is the Best Movie Ever Made About the Singularity

Pride - the one about the LGBT groups raising money for the Welsh miner's strike in the 80s.. There's a bit of a template at this stage for the big-hearted uplifting Brit comedy-drama about plucky underdogs overcoming the odds (with plenty of hilarity along the way) and this pretty much followed that exactly.. They milk the culture clash stuff for all it's worth e.g. Dominic West with a perm as the flamboyant panto actor winning over the gruff miners with his amazing dancing, Welsh grannies touring the London gay bars on their trip down south.. Clearly a fascinating real-life story but I think I would've got more out of a decent documentary on the same subject. Bill Nighy and the actor who played the Northern Irish lad in it were good though.

That's a brilliant film. Loved it.

I went to see The Guest - not great, but entertaining enough.

I watched 'Will you still love me tomorrow',

I absolutely loved it, I'm a sucker for light, good hearted films that also manage to pack a punch, and this totally did.
