Isn't Lucy a bit of a rip off of Limitless?

TheMarlin

No, it's different.

Lucy:

Woman ingests drugs accidentally.  Turns into some sort of superhero. Then, she antagonises bad guys. touches a monkey, and turns into a sparkly usb stick.

The end.

I didn't manage to go see it at the weekend..

I'm still looking forward to this film

She possibly turned into god ... a USB compatable windows-ready god. Or died... and possibly left instructions on how to be a god/USB stick (though apparently the answer is take lots of drugs... not sure why that needs an instruction manual)

If Lucy was written under the influence of extremely powerful hallucinogenic drugs

Defiance wasn't bad but a little bit clichéd.. why does every director have to portray the Nazis as the bad guys?  It's just gets really obvious in the end.

You need to watch Iron Sky...

Dracula Untold - meh/10

Nothing is particularly wrong with it, but it's unoriginal and bland. Some action - which is over-the-top to the level of Kung-Fu movies. Some acting - which is average. Some stuff happens then the credits roll.

Iron Sky's alright, great idea but I was a bit disappointed when I actually saw it.

The Descendants. Starring George Clooney. For some reason I liked it. Sad, though.

I like all Alexander Payne's films (very different from the cult/horror movies I normally watch), they're all more or less funny but have that element of loss and sadness, without being sentimental.  Have you seen Nebraska?

TheMarlin

Has anyone seen 'Her', another Scarlett Johansson movie, but just her voice this time.  It's about 100 times better than Lucy.

It wasn't a hit, but I really liked it.

No, I haven't. But I'll look it up since you mention it.

HAL9000

Saw '71 this afternoon. Not bad. Brit soldier gets separated from his unit in Catholic Belfast. Plot-wise it's a bit like Lone Survivor, but with the added difficulty of not always knowing which side everybody's really on.

Had a weeks holiday. Two trips to local picturehouse. GONE GIRL 8/10 PRIDE. 9/10

I saw it. It was kind of sad in a way. Very good though.

Just saw a screening of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, newly restored for its 40th anniversary, at the London Film Festival.  The original and best.

chillidoggy

Has anyone seen "All is Lost" with Robert Redford? It was recommended to me.

Edge of Tomorrow.

Nonsense but highly enjoyable nonsense!

chillidoggy

"Rush". Pretty good, apart from some artistic licence being taken with the locations. One minute they were supposed to be at Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France, and the next thing you know they're at Brands Hatch. This is the problem when you're an F1 geek.

Yes! Absolutely brilliant, especially if you don't know anything about it before you watch. Brilliant brilliant brilliant
