Thanks, you've just spoiled my day. It's the only film I've ever seen three times at the cinema.

PS - actually I've also seen Despicable Me 2 three times at the cinema because it's shown on 'Cheap Saturday'and it's A W E S O M E
"Now you see me".
Just coming towards the end of this film as we speak. It is utter dross.
The last rambo movie. He surely cant be needing money that badly?
I watched Teeth this morning on Netflix.
I didn't stop it so it must have been OK ish...
I'm surprised about some peeps not liking 'SKYFALL'!
...I thought it was quite good! :) Much better than 'Quantum of Solace', but not quite as good as 'Casino Royale'.
I also quite enjoyed 'Cabin in the Woods'. Classic, original B-movie style horror.
Recently re-watched Quantum... didn't like it the first time around but now I think it's the best of the Craig series. Old-school JB fun with an old-school JB villain. The second time around the fast edits weren't so distracting.
But Casino Royale now seems overly-long (and I hated the updates--one minutes it's true to the book, the next it looks like MI6 is running its operation out of the Starship Enterprise), and I hated the emphasis on M in Skyfall. Glad she was killed off; hopefully Ralph Fiennes will return to the Bernard Lee mould: sending Bond off on missions and giving him a kick up the backside halfway through as required.
Agreed. I borrowed the DVD from my daughter the other weekend and really enjoyed it
Even liked the theme tune too............
How different we are.....
I thought both 'Grey' and 'inglorious...' were great films.
I liked Quantum a lot. I especially love the opera scenes. High art! Underrated film. Quite different from Casino Royale and I'm not sure which I prefer.
Magnolia, utter dross.....
The Other Half
Danny Dyer on honeymoon in Portugal and trying to watch the football European Championships (1994 I think) without his new wife knowing...dire!

Love the play on words. Danny Dyer should be known as Danny Dire.
I can't think of single acting role where he has excelled himself.
April Rain.
Luke Goss must of been bribed into starring in this pos.
"Lincoln" - great cast, historically accurate - but unbelievably tedious.
Anchorman 2.
Terrible.
Denzel rendition of The equalizer. Generic
Lets be cops. Like the above but with 'laffs'.
Maze runner. Hunger games veined crap.
Tmnt. Ruined the 90's version.
I despair for movies
I would rather spend two hours T-Bagging a paper shredder then plunging my mangled testes into a vat of salt water than sit through 'Julie and Julia' again.
About as engaging as an afternoon talking cross stitch with your octogenarian auntie and peppered with characters as likeable as the former corpse botherer Jimmy Saville.
The only positive thing I can think to say about it is that since she chose it, my sister in law has been banned from Netflix in my company.
Dude, didn't the title set off a warning bell?
Not. My. Choice... :(Dude, didn't the title set off a warning bell?
Sorry but reading this^^^ Has started my day off wonderfully
Went last night
Totally crap
Too long
Far too slow etc
Crap
Nativity 3. Saw it with the kids today. Clueless, witless, pointless sh*t. I love a great kids film but this was as far from great as it's possible to get. Truly, truly awful. I kept thinking it can't get any worse....and then it did....time and time again.
My 10 year old begged me to leave after 30 minutes. I was never so happy in my life.
Nativity 3 was as close to cinema hell you can get. Excruciatingly bad
You were lucky as it got 100 times worse than the first 30 minutes. My wife said the only film she's seen worse than this was the Lego movie which the kids wanted to leave after half an hour. That was so terrible she got her money back when she left.
I treated myself to the blu-ray Aliens boxed set for Christmas. Alien was every bit as good as I remember and has already been mentioned in the good movie thread. Aliens was easily as good as the first one. Aliens 3 was not so bad, although disappointing to discover that a good number of the truly most egregious prisoners in the future will be English.
But Alien Resurrection, OMG WTF! What an utter load of arse. And the papier maché monster was straight out of a fifties Japanese black and white horror flick; what was the SFX budget - fifteen quid?
I only managed to watch under an hour of Skyfall before I got bored and turned it off. Over-hyped dross and becoming just one long, drawn out product placement event.
Agreed utter pony.
Cheers,
Neil.
I watched The Dark Knight Batman film yesterday night.
Gordon Bennett!
Nearly 3 hours of crap that just tried to get dark (mass slaughter etc) for the sake of it.
Only stayed on as my Son was watching it although I noticed my daughter in law departed to her laptop.
Cheers,
Neil.
The charming company wanted to go see it when it was just released. Worthwhile but not as a film.
Ditto the last Expendables/Mercenaries crap.
Indeed all just too simplistic.
I would rather go to a Bridget Jones 3 than to the new Bond, but we'll see. I think the next 'must see' hype is Fifty Shades.
Just turned Nick Love's 'The Sweeney' off after 10 minutes. Embarrassing mess.

Driven. A Stallone drivel fest. I didn't see it when it was released some years back as I thought it would be shite. Was on TV last night.
i was so right......utter shite.
Zero dark thirty - I will never get that time back zzzzz 1 out of 10
Yeah, that was a very dry film. Was really looking forward to watching it, but left disappointed
Frank - Up its own arse.
Having read the book, I gave Salmon Fishing in the Yemen a go.
Good book, shite film. WTF did they do to the ending?
Left Behind - Nicolas Cage direct to video shocker god squad nonsense about the rapture where all the believers go to heaven and the rest of us get to suffer, not as much as I suffered for the twenty minutes before I turned it off. Utter utter pap....
Watched Flash Gordon the other day.......I'll never get that time back.
Wonderful Life (Cliff and The Shadows, Una Stubbs, Richard O'Sullivan) is on the telly. Pretty poor, but my word Susan Hampshire was pretty.
I recently watched Cronenberg's Scanners. Dire acting and a predictable plot. I was expecting more.
Best wishes,
Bob
"Unthinkable" (2010)
controversial subject and certainly in need for a nuanced discussion, but the detailed "practices" in the movie really made me sick. I actually threw the DVD away after watching it.
The Samuel Jackson film? I think I saw it, what was so offensive about it, honestly I can't remember.
My addition for the day is, "The Covenant" terrible film, the only redeeming feature was a nice bum flash about half hour in, directed by Renny Harlin, but had a really low budget feel to it.
The American is a 2010 American thriller film directed by Anton Corbijn and starring George Clooney
Total rubbish, big holes in the plot and unexplained reasons for what is going on and why.
Top Gun on Sky Movies this am, hasn't aged well.
Skyfall and the previous 2 although I would be more hacked off if I went to the cinema and paid good money to watch them
Just gave up after 20 minutes of Van Helsing - possibly one of the worst films in the history of cinema.
Focus with will Smith. Tried to be smart, boring.
Dark City

Don't believe the IMDB ratings. It's tosh.

That brings me back - saw this in the cinema and can still remember how awful it was - in my defence was when we had yearly odeon passes but still .... 😓
I saw it 1 1/2 times at the cinema. The first time would have been enough for me, but the second trip was because another group of friends who I hadn't seen in ages wanted to a trip to the cinema followed by a restaurant. Didn't realise what they wanted to see until it was too late. Sadly, it was the day of the Stockline Plastics factory explosion, which had caused power problems in Glasgow. The cinema kept getting hit by power cuts, and in the end they stopped the film and offered refunds or the chance to see it on another night. I took the refund.
