Gone Girl
Outstanding film, the true embodiment of "the mental". Brilliantly done with plenty of unexpected bits to go with the bits you sense are coming. Solid 9/10 because there isn't really a 10/10 yet as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, just watched this and I thought it was brilliant too. I had high hopes because it's a David Fincher film and it didn't disappoint.Outstanding film, the true embodiment of "the mental".

I did find the whole setup rather contrived though TBH and I'm not convinced it's anywhere near as clever as it thinks it is. Even so there is still no one out there who makes a better thriller so 8/10, just not quite up there with Se7en and Zodiac for me.

The Descendants...fking hell, not sure when the last film I watched (save for above) as good as this was on the box. Had no idea what it was about, watched it because of Clooney, he does good work. fking brilliant, had me enraptured.
I liked this too....real surprise. The scene in the hospital where he's talking to his wife is so powerful. Great stuffking hell, not sure when the last film I watched (save for above) as good as this was on the box. Had no idea what it was about, watched it because of Clooney, he does good work. fking brilliant, had me enraptured.Highly recommended.
Hugo a Martin Scorsese film from 2011. Obviously passed me by at the time.
What a wonderful movie. Mrs R brought it home months ago and neither of us have ever been bothered to watch it till last night. For me, it was an absolutely unexpected gem. Last film I watched where I sat down with a "meh, can I be bothered with this" and came away from it with a "bloody hell, how good was that!!" was Fried Green Tomatoes. Maybe I am just a softie

2hrs of car porn. And I'm not even a big BMW fan.
Highly recommended absolutely gorgeous old beemers 2000, 3.0csl, 635, M1, M3 and some great footage and interviews with anyone who was anyone in BMW Motorsport.

Just watched Predestination. If people think Inception was a headfook, avoid this one. Paradoxical time loops ahoy. However, very well done and worth a watch.
Ever since I posted about this film a week or two ago everybody who has seen it has liked it.Great twist on a tired genre.

The Equalizer
All I can say is this... There had better be a bloody sequel.
I liked it. A slightly more intelligent Taken.
Another 1 for The Equalizer; for me one of Danzel's best performances and movie of the year!All I can say is this... There had better be a bloody sequel.
I liked it. A slightly more intelligent Taken.
The 2 hours flew by . . .
Its Man on Fire but Denzel and the girl he is doing it for are just 20 years older

Snowpiercer.
I thought it was quite good.
SWMBO didn't
LOL. I thought it was quite good.

Reminds me of when I was married and took the (now ex) wife to see Sin City. I bloody loved it, and came out of the cinema buzzed. She said that she'd take a while to forgive me for exposing her to such depravity and wanted 2 hours of her life back. Oh well.
I rented three films from Amazon over the past couple of days:
Sin City 2 - Like what other's have said, it's OK but not as good as the first. A watch once film.
Lucy - I didn't mind this so much, preposterous yes, but not as bad as I thought it would be.
Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) - This was a huge surprise for me, I really enjoyed it, not half as cheesy as I feared it'd be, and turned out to be the best of the movies we watched!

Gone Girl.
Overhyped and miscast. Neither main character at all believable and movie should have been 45 minutes shorter. 5/10.
Wrong thread then? Overhyped and miscast. Neither main character at all believable and movie should have been 45 minutes shorter. 5/10.
