Len Cnut Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Watched 50 Shades of Grey with my mate last night. She wanted to watch it and i thought, y'know, bit of bondage, set the evening off nicely. Never seen such a load of bollocks in all my fuckin' born days. Wheres the plot, wheres the storyline, where's the bit where something happens?So some tart finds out her new governers into S&M, not sure whether she wants to proper get into it with him, finally musters up the courage by the end, gets a few whacks of the belt of her arse and goes 'fuck that'. And thats it, thats the whole film How is that even a story? Biggest load of shit ever. Thats literally the whole film though. She fancies him and he just wants some bird to belt around for a laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Escape from the Planet of the ApesConquest of the Planet of the ApesBattle for the Planet of the ApesThought Escape was just awkward though any sequel to a film where the whole planet gets nuked is gonna be awkwardReally dug Conquest, classic '70s sci-fi, interesting seeing what elements were later used in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Plus points for Ricardo Montalban.I heard Battle was awful but I quite enjoyed it, though it is dated, and it has been surpassed since by Dawn which took parts of the story as well.Roddy McDowall is brilliant in all of them, RIP.Ranking the Apes films:1. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes3. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes4. Planet of the Apes5. Battle for the Planet of the Apes6. Beneath the Planet of the Apes7. Escape from the Planet of the Apes.The Burton "re-imagining" is so boring I'm not even going to rank it, haven't seen it since I saw it in cinemas 14 years ago, not sure I'll ever revisit it but I remember Tim Roth and Helena Bonham Carter being great in it along with Rick Baker's make-up work, but Mark Wahlberg and the other humans were incredibly uncharismatic and the plot didn't make a lick of sense. Shame since so many good ideas were tossed out along the way to the 2001 film: http://planetoftheapes.wikia.com/wiki/Planet_of_the_Apes_(2001)#Behind_the_ScenesCan't wait for the new one in 2017.

Strange Broue Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Apocalypse Now! redux version 9/10 for me (some scenes were 10/10 and i think the redux is superior to the original cut)Also interested the 289 minute workprint versionI think this is Francis Ford Coppola's best film overall (better than the Godfather trilogy)Martin Sheen was a great, great actor Edited March 20, 2015 by Strange Broue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Apocalypse Now is unbelievable each and every viewing, I even watched it not exactly in a sane state before and it was streaming from the goddamn walls, I must've seen it seven times now and it's always like a new movie. It cracks me up how Brando turned up overweight spewing monologues nobody asked for for hours and fighting with Hopper and demanding he be paid a fortune for being utterly bonkers but it fucking worked and Coppola is a genius managing to amend and weave that all together.I'm watching Rear Window again and recently Batman Begins, you notice little things Nolan puts in once ya've got the overall arc of the trilogy sussed and neatened, outstanding stuff. Shout out to the Stewart/Kelly chemistry in RW too, how fucking innovative was Hitchcock?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few guys loudly snoring during the first half hour and that was the highlight of the movie for me. Granted I never read the books but they have to be better (by default) then the movie. They say you can't go by the reviews but there is a reason this film got terrible ratings all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Hitchcock is the greatest and Rear Window might just be his 'testament film' (agreeing with Bogdanovich here). It is certainly in my top five. Edited March 21, 2015 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Watched an anime series on Netflix that I heard good things about called "Attack on Titan".Probably the most over the top horrendous bad written anime I've ever seen. It's a 24 minute show with 3 minutes worth of flashbacks at the start and annoying 2 minute opening credit scene followed by 15 minutes worth of characters thinking about what happened in the previous episodes with 2 minutes of plot advancement. At the end there's 30 seconds of end credits with another minute or so of looking forward to how not much will happen in the next episode. The other 30 seconds are random diagrams where I guess the show would normally go on a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Watched The Cobbler, Adam Sandler and Meth-TicaaaaaalWas alright y'know, not half as awful as Sandlers worst although not near his best (of which there are few). Meth' carries it for me, always thought he was great on screen, i wish he'd do more, loved him in My Babys Daddy as the main characters cousin 'No Good'. Other than that he's never gotten time to shine, he's the kid who stabs Sam Jackson in 187, he's the guy that gets shot in the beginning of Copland, it's frustrating, he has so much charisma, he can carry a film, he can do it all...but he never gets that movie. How High he was great in...and Belly. You just wanna see more of him though.People say rappers only get like, criminal roles of whatever but even like with a good weighty substantial one of those, a serious one, where he leads the film, i think he could set shit on fire.
