Secret Ninja Movie Club (aka what have you watched lately)

they should make a huge budget version of that film where everything goes wrong in sequences (title ?).

or like a rube goldberg machine that lasted 90 mins

imo

I really enjoyed Cap America #1
is the second one gunna disappoint?

Captain America - The Winter Soldier


Amazing, one of the best if not the best of the Marvel series so far. Well written, enthralling story, set pieces were jaw dropping. Great nods to the rest of the series and the in-jokes were ridiculous;

[+]

Samuel L Jackson's gravestone inscription was cheeky as fuck, think only the English people in the cinema got it though

Bits I especially loved;

[+] Spoiler

• Introductions of Falcon, Crossbones, Baron Strucker, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were done smoothly. None of them felt like they'd been shoehorned into the film
• GSP fight scene
• Robert Redford's performance
• The final helicarrier fight
• Captain America actually having some humanity this time round, last film was a bit flat. The flashback with Bucky, visiting an elderly Peggy Carter, having a flashback to his training days. Well acted by Evans, none of it felt too cheesy or drawn out
• The tie-ins to the rest of the series. Mentions of Stark, Banner, as well as the list of targets including Tony Stark, Pepper Potts etc quickly spooling across the screen

Only bit I had slight issue with was

[+] Spoiler

Even if Zola was stalling for time whilst the missile strike was coming, why did he feel the need to reveal the entire plan and the nature of HYDRA's full scale infiltration of SHIELD?

Safety not Guaranteed



Really appreciated it. The casting is really good and the story is cool. Enjoyed it. A movie to chill to.

Either Adaptation or Now You See Me today..

I've really been racing through all Kaufman work lately

If you hate them in general, then this one won't change your mind on the whole series.

If you're a fan, then IMO this one was the best so far.

[wub]

R.I.P.D.

Utter shit. Worst film I've seen so far this year.


Dirty Wars

Informative documentary, felt like it had to be taken with a pinch of salt though. Narrator goes on a bit like he's the only honest person in the whole region at times.


Bloodsport

Always jokes.


Boiler Room

Based on the original Wolf Of Wall street book. Good craic, quintessential 2000 cinema.


Shooter

Fairly predictable, attention to detail on the actual science of shooting was pretty spot on.

The Hunt (2012)

Brill. A kindergarten teacher gets falsely accused of interfering with his best friend's daughter in his care... the way the "investigation" spirals out of control is scarily believable.



The Prince And The Showgirl (1957)

Laurence Olivier does his absolute best to get Marilyn Monroe acting with mixed results. Enjoyable.



Empire Records (1995)

Wow, this has AGED. Still a great deal of fun but yeah, slightly cringey at times.

'Joe'

Nic Cage

YES!

Lol I've never even heard of it. With a name like that you know it's going to be good

The Avengers is imo the best movie in the Marvel franchise.

[wub]

What did you think of Winter Soldier?

[hubb]

seriously tho wub and magma you would both love 'Joe'.

its a lot like winters bone and nic cage is not over the top and genuinly really great in it.

[Nihilism]

What did you think of Winter Soldier?

It's not bad, but it's definitely not the best in the franchise. I've enjoyed The Avengers and even Iron Man 3 more. Probably because i don't know a lot about Captain America.

Superhero movies are ok when they're done well but very few of them are.

Spiderman 1 was quite good

Iron mans, hulk, hellboy, superman, daredevil all awful

Batmans are good but overrated, Batman begins is actually my favourite of them

[hubb]

fun super hero film

[wolf89]

Fuck, you just reminded me that I still need to watch that. There's a pub in Plymouth that has a huge poster taking up a whole wall for it and me and my mates always talked about how we should all watch it every time we saw the poster there.

[hubb]

I've turned into goldfish in this thread tbh no memmory

The funny thing is that its quite serious people that usually work with Almodovar that made it.
