  • This is just typical of what a ridiculous world we live in. Utter morons want to text then do it before they go in to see a film or before it starts if they must but not during a film and the fact a cinema chain is encouraging this is beyond beli…
  • Pity the guy is a complete dick and gets a hard on killing defenseless animals.

  • My main issue with KOTCS was that is was a pile of excrement. Seriously Ford is far too old to be playing Indiana Jones. Some of you don't when to let something go, it's like those are getting wet about Arnie still being the Terminator or Cona…

  • I'd say it's the 70's for me, just a selection of this decade not in any particular order but it proves to me this is my favourite decade of film. The Exorcist Dirty Harry Godfather Godfather Pt 2 Chinatown Dog Day Afternoon All The Preside…
  • I think TFA is far from a perfect film or reaching ESB levels of quality but this is leap years better than what we got with the prequels. It captured enough of the original spirit to make a great ride for me but no I still rank the previous orig…

  • I'm not sure how SF is garbage and SP isn't when it comes to the script. Considering its the most control they've ever had with a script SP seems to have been there baby yet you think its better? Butterworth only polished the dialogue, all the…

  • I personally don't think (I'm sorry to bang on about it again) but the whole way they retconned the Craig era and the step brother nonsense can be underestimated. They made a complete cock up of it, fans of the film can try say that's not what w…

  • Of recent got to give a mention to Sicario, Deakins is the man, the cinematgraphy in this film is astounding.
  • Regarding intro's and you can't actually call the bungee jump his intro, I believe Brosnan started in the toilet, quite ironic considering he exited with DAD back in the toliet once again.
  • I grew up with Star Wars and the first film was my 2nd ever trip to the cinema (1st SWLM) For some reason never got to see ROTJ although caught it on the Re-releases in the late 90's (the dreaded special editions). My anticiaption for the preq…

  • Creasy47 wrote: » @Shardlake, not sure if you know this, but the most disappointing part about 'The Thing' prequel is that it was shot (from what I can surmise, "almost") entirely using practical effects and anamatronics, much like the legendary C…
  • There is nothing great about the prequels, you are on a hiding to nothing trying to say they have greatness. The acting is atrocious in those films, Episode II & III are nowhere near greatness, they are agony to watch, they make me squirm whe…
  • SP PTS is probably it's finest moment but I personally find it the weakest of the Craig films and prefer the PTS to the previous 3, I'll take QOS over SP everytime. The reason I voted for CR is to me it's the most balls out brilliant PTS of the s…
  • When it comes to disaster movies it's the grandaddy of them all, one of the most starry casts, great effects and truly thrilling puts all these CGI fueled disaster movies to utter shame. It also looks great on Blu ray, had this for a good few ye…

  • Zero Dark Thirty
  • It gave me goosebumps, I wouldn't expect anything else from a Star Wars trailer and it delivered. Mon Mothma appearance was a plesant surprise, Ben Mendelsohn looks great.
  • The Parachute jump is iconic and the entry is one of my favourites but the rest of the PTS is not that great. Both of Dalton's are better. If it wasn't for that union jack opening out it would be pretty generic.
  • Colour me excited, this is the only blockbuster I was getting pumped for this year. I concur Desplat should be on EON's short list, just watched Zero Dark Thirty again for the first time in a while this morning and was thinking Desplat would be g…
