Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 25, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Only watched Wildcats about a month ago, and I forgot that Goldie Hawn gets her diddies out in the bath. Great movie though! One of my faves. I used to have a long play VHS with Caddyshack, Up The Academy, Wildcats and some random Womens bodybuilding on Eurosport popping up on occasion. Up The Academy was great. The less said about 'Money Train' the better. Yennifer Lopay's nipples. Worth the ex-rental price alone.

DeanoTheGame Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Anyone seen The Worlds End yet? Saw it last night and while it's undoubtedly the weakest of the Cornetto Trilogy I still really enjoyed it. I do think it suffered in having a group of 5 friends, instead of just focusing on Pegg and Frost's characters, as I thought the relationship between Shaun and Ed then Nicholas and Danny were very well done in the first two films. While the friendship is still there, having 3 others does take away from it a bit. It's a lot more action-y than the others as well, and I thought the fight scenes and most of the chase scenes were well shot. Quite a few chucklesome lines and moments but I think this will be the one that in years to come that fans will quote the least. Wasn't too sure about the final scene either. Still well worth a watch though if you're a fan of Pegg and the previous 2 films. Â I thought it was excellent. After rewatching both multiple times, I now think Hot Fuzz is funnier than Shaun Of The Dead, but I didn't laugh at either of them as much as I did The World's End. I didn't like some of the plot turns, but in terms of laughs, it's my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2013 Going back to the action film discussion, I enjoyed White Men Can't Jump as well even as someone who hates basketball. Good film, that. Â I think the problem with Snipes is that he had always balanced being a 'serious' actor with being an action hero until the Blade films and then after that he just seemed to want to pack himself in to whatever crap action films he could. He was a genuinely fine actor, he's absolutely superb in Rising Sun and Jungle Fever. I do still think his is a career that could be saved.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) At a certain point, he just became too much trouble to cast. He seemed to completely lose his mind after Blade, and he's considered one of the worst people to work with in Hollywood, and that's why he never gets hired any more. Patton Oswald has some great stories about working on Blade 3. This is from his AVClub interview.

I wonder if his attitude will change now that he's done time and his career has gone to shit. Probably not but it would be nice to see him be in something decent again.

DJM Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) House Of 1000 Corpses is pretty much toss. I thought The Devil's Rejects was a massive step up, though. Â The Devils Rejects is a film i've seen about 3 times and I'm still not sure if I like it. Totally agree that its a huge step up from Corpses but aside from looking nice and having a cool song at the end its a very unlikeable film. Â I still hate Zombie for those Halloween remakes though. Terrible, terrible films. The whole back story in the first film played out like some terrible fan fiction and the sequel managed to be even worse. I turned it off out of sheer boredom which almost never happens. Over the past week or so I have been watching all of the films that Rob Zombie has made. I have to agree Devils Rejects is his best film and Halloween 2 his worst (with the rest of his films lying somewhere in the middle). Â The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is a somewhat entertaining, if throw-away and basic, adult animated movie with some entertaining musical numbers. There is very little story, the whole film is quite a mess and it would work much better as a TV series, but it develops in such an OTT manner with swearing, gore and nudity throughout, that it's ultimately an enjoyable enough 70-odd minute viewing. Â The Lords of Salem has an interesting strangeness to it, but if you don't like Sherri Moon Zombie you will probably hate it as she is in the lead role. It is also slow-paced, full of random imagery and ideas, and loses its way as it progresses towards its flat ending. Â Â Movie 43 - Essentially just a series of light hearted sketches with no real rhyme of reason to them whatsoever. Featuring such things as Hugh Jackman with a pair of testicles hanging from his chin on a blind date with a previously unaware Kate Winslet and Steven Merchant also on a blind date with Halle Berry which turns into a game of dares, with each getting more and more ridiculous each time. The sketches are totally hit and miss, but overall I loved it. Particularly the Naomi Watts one, which I think all involved played great. And I still fancy Watts rotten and I'm not sure why. Aesthetically not my type at all, but I'd undoubtedly hit that so hard you'd become the King of England if you managed to pull me out. I hated Movie 43 when I watched it recently. Just really, really unfunny. It is poorly written, poorly made and just plain awful. Easily the worst film of 2013.

Original, well written and acted. And a shocking ending without showing much in the way of gore and blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Cloud Atlas - I'd been keen to watch this since its release in the cinema, very much intrigued by the plot and concept. I may have chose the wrong night to watch it, being a bit knackered and very warm so I ended up dozing off...but I had no desire to attempt to watch if again following. Didn't take to it at all which was disappointing. Seemed like The Matrix lads being guilty of the same things that the later Matrix films suffered for. Â Nah it is a bit crap. Its difficult to give a shit about anybody in the film I think. Other than the guy from Last of the Summer Wines who stole the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Maestro Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I liked Cloud Atlas. Â It's a majorly flawed movie but it's ambition alone makes it a worthwhile watch. I enjoyed Jim Broadbent's story the most in it and I thought that Ben Whinshaw was particularly good as well. And Hugh Grant plays a bastard for 500 years. There were times of the film when my toes curled with some of the cringy dialogue and times when I laughed at how ridiculous some of the actors looked wearing prosthetics, and some aspects of the film don't hold as much interest as other parts, but overall I enjoyed it.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2013 Anyone seen Stoker? Â I think I'm going to have to sleep on this one. No idea what I made of it. Aside from Oldboy, which I really enjoyed even though it was flawed, and his bit of the Three Extremes trilogy, I've mostly been unfulfilled by Chan-Wook Park's films. All of them have been good but fallen way short of how good they should have been. I was really glad this was considerably less hysterical and melodramatic than his usual stuff and Mia Wasikowska is brilliant in it. But overall I'm left not really sure what I made of it. Â Seeing as though he's taken an interest in how I watch films, I will apologise to Steve 'Big' Jobs for the way I watched this one. I did pause it halfway through for about an hour so I could have my sausage and chips, read my daughter a story, put her to bed and then sort out some work stuff before moaning about porn legislation on here. It won't happen again, spare me the fire extinguisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was very cleverly constructed, and I had absolutely no idea where it was going until they started to reveal what was up. Amazingly (or perhaps not, but it surprised me), it was written by the guy out of Prison Break.   He even shopped it around under a pen-name so it'd sell on its own merits.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2013 I didn't know that either until I read up about it! Really impressed by the way he went about that. Â I would say the last few minutes were my least favourite of the film. That I know for sure. I don't think Park knows how to finish a film at all. In terms of the rest of it, I might need to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
