Just rented and watched Lucy.

Utter ste.

I'm actually blown away by how poor it really was.
Its awful.
No substance whatsoever.
This.

I quite like Scarlett Johansson for picking slightly off-beat films to act in, just wish she'd do some that are worth watching.

Interesting. I watched it with every expectation that it was going to be awful. I bloody loved it. Smartly scripted and good fun. Each to their own though!
I loved it too.

I found it unpretentious and charming. It didn't take it self seriously and was entertaining from start to end. And it looked great.

I watched it the other day but only because we were trying out our new 4K TV and the images were stunning. The movie was pretty poor but I wasn't expecting it to be a classic.

I liked how the alien missiles were the pegs you use in the game (and they stuck in the ships too) smile

Is that the one where they made a 50 000 ton battleship do a tight turn by dropping the anchor? hehe

Godzilla.
Half of it is so dark you can't see how bad the special effects are. The other half you can see how dumb the film is.
Why hire great actors like Binoche & Cranston only to have them on screen for 10 & 20 minutes?
5/10. And that's being generous.

It did amuse me that the "Signal" that NASA was sending out into space was actually an enormous visible laser being blasted out hehe No wonder the aliens were annoyed with us.

American Warships - horrendously acted and awful CGI
April Rain - comedic acting combined with terrible editing and directed by someone clearly suffering some mental illness. Also has Luke Goss in it.
Arachnoquake - awful but at least it's not supposed to be serious with that title.

In fairness it is a direct-to-video Mockbuster of Battleship, which in itself has appeared on these pages, so this is hardly surprising. smile

Left Behind

One of the few occasions I've decided to watch a film that I've never heard of without checking out review scores first. What a mistake.

Nicolas Cage has made some truly awful films in the last decade but I continue to hold out hope for another The Rock, Face/Off or Con Air.

This is not it.

Left Behind has not a single redeeming feature. A truly dreadful script, diabolical acting that wouldn't make it in a Nigerian daytime soap opera, a crap idea and the oddest soundtrack to go along with it.

Awful, awful, awful.

0/10.

Gone Baby Gone.

Another one of Ben Affleck's directing attempts, but this time he gets his brother in as the lead "star"

As a film, it's not that bad. It's pretty well shot, the dialogue is ok (apart from a couple of scenes where the main character thinks he is Muhammed I'm hard Bruce Lee when talking to people in a bar) and the story does draw you in.

It's just such an utterly depressing film, plot summary below:

Kid goes missing.
Mum doesn't give a toss as she is off her tits on drugs.
Auntie hires a private investigator (Affleck's brother).
P.I finds out that it was the useless mums brother & a high up police chap that runs a department that looks after kiddies that kidnapped the kid in order to give her a better life.
Bellend P.I can't understand that the kid is in a much better place so phones the police.
Kid goes back to mum who still doesn't give a toss about it, high up police chap & the mums brother go to prison, 2 other slightly iffy but for the right reasons police officers are killed and the P.I's girlfriend leaves him.


Just what you want to put you in a cheerful mood over the festive period
