Tell us if you have seen a film recently

Based on the Man of Steel thread.

So, I saw The Heat this week. Tuesday probably.

I should probably say what its about - Sandra Bullock's un-liked FBI agent has to partner a Boston PD detective, Melissa MacCarthy, who bullies her co-workers and superiors to catch a drug lord.

NOTHING about the trailers promoted it as remotely funny, so I had no plans to see it, but I encountered four viewers' feedback online; three US, one UK, and unanimously, all said they laughed all the way through.

I thought it started bland, but acquitted it very well will uproarious laughs later on, with Melissa MacCarthy carrying the comedy.

Had a kind of Seventies feel to it, like it was made in that era. Good movie.

 

The Heat was hilarious. World War Z,, on the other hand, was horrible.

I saw The Conjuring

Despite having pretty much every cliché in the horror manual and being predictable, it had very effective scares and executed them in an old-school way which makes it stand out from the gore-heavy modern horrors.


Also saw The Wolverine which I liked being a fan of the character. It was certainly better than the Origins movie, not that that is hard

 

Very rarely go to the cinema.

Last film I saw was Scary Movie 5. Not great by any means, but certainly passable

 

I saw Kick Ass 2 last night. Right up my street so enjoyed it thoroughly.

World War Z was excellent too.

 

I also saw Kick Ass 2, it was fun though I thought it was not as good as the first one.

 

This Is The End was the best movie I've seen this summer. In fact, I'll present a bold statement: it's the best epic comedy I've seen since Ghostbusters.

 

Man of Steel is still the last film I went to see. Loved it. A tad nervous about the sequel though!

 

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, bloody brilliant.

"Jurassic Park!"

 

Jurassic Park 3D in IMAX is awesome, it is an experience such a movie was made for.

I also saw Elysuim. It's OK, I found it a bit pretentious and it took longer than it needed to get where it was going.

 

Now You See Me

A fun romp though the ending is a bit silly

 

Looks like we have been doing our bit to support the cinematic industry.

I watched 2Guns last week. Very packed, very twisty. Good action.

Mark Wahlberg was drokking wasted as a singer (as in his pre-acting career), and Denzel Washington was his usual sublime self. Given the storyline, I don't see how there would be a sequel, but I would definitely love to see one.

 

I liked 2 Guns, the acting was good and the action was entertaining. Looked like Washington & Wahlberg had fun doing it.

 

Saw World's End and Kickass 2. Both disappointing, though I suppose I went in with massive expectations of both and shouldn't have. They weren't bad, just underwhelming.

 

I think the let-down of World's End was that I was expecting a parody of all the apolcalyptic action films and instead all that happened was a shoutout with Bill Nighy and then a Marvin-esque give up.

 

Was August the end of our film-seeing season?

I am getting interested in the Thor: The Dark World trailers. Be nice to see him and his Bro' Loki working together.

 

The Picturehouse cinemas are advertising a newly restored version of F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu which will be screened on Thursday. Might be wroth seeing, it is a classic after all.

I saw Prisoners recently. It was good, though quite long and despite that it left some things unexplained which was a bit frustrating.

I hope to see Thor on wednesday

 

So it seems, I've yet to see it get a bad review.

I saw Thor: The Dark World which I enjoyed a lot (despite the director clearly having never read a London Underground map before he filmed it). Good supporting cast, especially Tom Hiddleston.

 

I'm too scared to watch Gravity, in case I fall out of my chair!

 

It seems an ironic title, given the movie is about being stranded in an environment where there is none.
