Finally got round to watching Seven Psychopaths - very funny in places, but not as wonderful as it perhaps likes to think, but Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken were as enjoyable to watch as always.

Got that waiting for me over the weekend, half-looking forward to it.

Oblivion

Much better than the reviews suggested, but still not awesome.

Loved the Bubble-Ship design though. That was lovely and geeky!

I liked it, though the ending was a let down.

The World's End - superb.

Also been watching the Fast And Furious series on the basis that there must be something to them if they've made five sequels and have another in the works. I'm up to 4 now and ready to admit I was wrong.

I watched one once. Even with That Hot Mexican Chick From Resident Evil And Machete (TM) I couldn't get all the way through it. Kudos for managing four of 'em

Mama - Really enjoyed it. Nikolai Coster-Waldau and some skinny chick move in with some spoooooky children that were brought up in the haunted weelderness. Hijinks ensue. A well made and very watchable "Guillermo Del Toro Presents" movie (that had very little to do with GDT), much like "The Orphanage".

I thought it was good until the ending.  Jessica Chastain though - yes please.

I agree that the ending was a bit weak. It was doing well with the "less is more" axiom until the final few minutes.

OK, chick is a hottie but she should still consider herself very fortunate to be sleeping with Jaime Lannister.

You come stay with us. No one in this house could even make it through a trailer for a F and F.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks

I have never seen a single fast and furious. Think I managed to sit through trailer for one of them once.

The Tokoyo Drift one was a fav of mine for a post gig kebab latenight film. Along with the Chronicles Of Riddick.

 

Just pop your brain into a jar before watching it.

VimFuego

ah, now chronicles of Riddick is a film I've never managed to sit all the way through. Think the best I've managed is about an hour. And I quite like my brane dead filums.

Jalapeno

Here's a confession - I quite like the Riddick films, as said a brain in neutral genre, but the high camp is a enjoyable.

I like Riddick, Pitch Black is my favourite.

I think the entity that is Vin Diesel is only a good thing. It seems utterly harmless and fairly decent and completely free of malice or arrogance. For that reason I force myself to enjoy the movies he is in even though they are all complete shite.

Have you watched "Find Me Guilty"?

RobDavies

I did see Rush last week.   Very enjoyable - even for a non F1 fan, like me.

Mrs C wants to shag Vin senseless. Or it might be the other way around.
