Howmanheyman 26582 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Aye it's great. I fucking cannot believe that Birdman won the Oscar btw. Actors patting themselves on the back for being actors patting themselves on the back for being actors. They get well paid, go to the oscars to tell each other how lush they all are, and when a Brit wins it expect an over the top, upper middle class buffoon speech just to ham it up for the Yanks. No working class actors in Britain, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8936 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Timothy Spall? Jack O'Connell? Fwiw, I thought Redmayne deserved the Oscar, don't really mind where he's from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm fed up with all the acting awards going to biopics. It's not an impressions award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Have you seen it? It's fucking dire. Thought it was pretty average. That is the kind of role Hoffman would have nailed. Batman overdid it scene after scene. The problem these days is that directors are often very visual and not so keyed into the flow of time...Pathos works when you know the moments to slow it down...Birdman was high style with some nice ideas but for me the core of the story was a kind of Pathos that just wasn't allowed to come through. Rage isn't enough. Way too much twitchy dialogue. Redmayne and Cucumberpatch are better actors, a lot more going on in the eyes.

Park Life 70 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Inherent Vice. Very trippy but overlong with some long tedious dialogue heavy scenes that looked as if they had been shot on video and put in later. However there was something under the surface here that may or may not be rewarding from a second viewing. 5.6/10 Edited February 25, 2015 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Amerian Sniper. 5.5 Poor, especially for Eastwood who I really rate as a director. Very clunky emotional and pseudo-ethical claptrap. Edited February 26, 2015 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2400 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Birdman: Watched it to see what the fuss was about after it won Best Picture or whatever at the Oscars. Definitely worth a watch. Edge of Tomorrow: Tom Cruise might be in the running for world's biggest douche but you've got to admit he makes really good movies. The Maze Runner: Predictable garbage teen sci-fi. Enjoyable enough by the end that its not a complete waste of time I guess. It does seem that any old shit is worthy of being made into a trilogy these days.

Kid Dynamite 5876 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Chappie - Quite enjoyed it. Does a good job of portraying an AI robot and the ethics around it.

I sat there thinking is this the guy that did the 'prawns' film? There was that one funny car nicking scene which had me really laughing tho.
