Didn't even bother - unlike Yelchin - to be anything other than a generic wisecracking hero who is nothing like Kyle Reese. It's actually fucking tormenting me. Â Bad Boys, Bad Boys.

Didn't even bother - unlike Yelchin - to be anything other than a generic wisecracking hero who is nothing like Kyle Reese. It's actually fucking tormenting me. Bad Boys, Bad Boys. Whatcha goin' do...whatcha goin' do when they come for you? Ha. I said something similar to my mate on the way back. For the most part the banter in the film is woeful. It's like they watched Guardians of the Galaxy two weeks before filming, and decided they wanted something like that so crammed in what felt like Jai Courtney's left over jokes from the last Die Hard film.

Mr_Danger Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 So I'm the only cunt who liked Salvation then? It's by no means a great film but it was entertaining enough as a stand alone action film. Suffers from the Die Hard 4 problem of feeling like somebody tweaked a random screenplay to tie it into a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Wasn't Jai Courtney Varro in Spartacus? He's done well for himself. He was in Jack Reacher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it earnest and I admired Anton Yelchin's performance in it. Sam Worthington brought it down a notch whenever he was on screen, but on the whole, I enjoyed Salvation a lot more than Genisys or Rise of the Machines.

His agent must be able to suck the chrome of a bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammorgz Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Finally got around to watching What We Do In The Shadows tonight. Delightfully mental. Not a whole lot of laugh out loud moments, but I'm not really a laugh out loud person anyway. Was very amused throughout though and it's a fun way to kill an hour and twenty minutes.

sammorgz Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Wonderful isn't it? You should check out Housebound too. I thought it fucking incredible... It was top notch! Cheers man. Will add it to my list of movies to watch. Looks good from IMDB. Edited July 9, 2015 by sammorgz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Housebound is great, manages to merge Peter Jacksons early style with one of my favourite childhood films That I would spoiler tag if I wasn't a retard.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 10, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 10, 2015 Just back from Ant-Man and it was a tremendous amount of fun.I actually really like Paul Rudd for some reason. His charisma is seriously pounding off the screen in this one and although not quite at the enjoyment level of GOTG, it’s a stray pubic hair away from getting those kind of plaudits.I just actually sat there smiling and happy through the whole thing, and that’s rare in this cynical world these days.  Good after credits scene involving Cap and Falcon and the lead up to the Civil War too.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 10, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2015 Glad to hear you liked Ant-Man, other reviews I've read have been a bit mixed but I trust your opinions on films, so I remain looking forward to it. Â Went to see Slow West tonight, excellent Western, well worth catching it if you see it showing anywhere. Fassbender's perfect for that genre.

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Just watched Open Grave - despite it getting pretty poor reviews it wasn't too bad with a pretty cool twist at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Turner Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Finished Season 2 of House of Cards yesterday, what a brilliant show. I didn't know what to expect from it and didn't necessarily go in with the biggest hopes for something so compelling but it really delivers. A fantastic cast.
