Django Unchained - 6/10

I was enjoying the movie until the gunfight at the end where it got a bit exaggerated. Otherwise worth a watch.

Also, the word "n*****" got overused in this movie.

I thought it was good, untill that tupac song during that fight.. After that I thought it was epic.

John Dies At the End - 7/10... not sure if I should score this lower, in the beginning I thought this movie was pretty cool, the finale was a bit cheesy though.

Cedar Rapids - 6/10 Clay Davis made the movie for me. I am a fan of Ed Helms, otherwise this would have been a pretty average movie.

Gangster Squad - 6.5/10 Enjoyable action. Likeable posse of reluctant "heroes". The plot was a bit thin.

Ted - 5/10

Gangster Squad - 6.5/10. Enjoyed it, but if you're looking for LA Confidential then you'll be disappointed. Was a good mix of action from that era, combined with modern cinematography. A bit predictable in places but it's a perfect popcorn movie.

Hotel Transylvania - 8/10

I really enjoyed this movie. For any adult looking to escape for 90 mins or so with there kid to a awesome fantasy realm, watch this movie.

Agreed. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Gangster Squad - 6.5/10. Nothing special story wise but thoroughly enjoyed it. The humour had me in stitches and the cast was brilliant.

Hotel Transylvania - 5/10. Unfunny, unmemorable, frantic, trying-to-please, throwing everything in the pot, formulaic rubbish.

Django Unchained (2012) 8/10

Watched it on the big screen, was very entertaining.
Typical Quentin Tarantino.

So are all the Pixar films but they manage to be good movies in themselves.

Will give it a watch during the week.

Agree, was pretty average.

Lincoln - 4/10 It's visually stunning, but it's slow, boring and too much chatting. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah etc... This crap got nominated for 12 Oscars.

Les Miserables - 2/10 This movie had potential to be a great movie, but instead they butchered it by making it into a musical. If I wanted to watch a musical, I would watch it on Broadway.

Seven Psychopaths - 6/10 A violent movie with a few funny parts. Worth a watch.

+1, not a classic but a very entertaining film. Good for when friends come over and you are not in the mood to think too much, yet want something a tad deeper than the latest Stallone movie

6.5/10

Watch Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter instead.

Watch the one of the hundred other adaptions instead.

Life of Pi - 8/10

beautiful movie with a beautiful story without the 3D gimmick or violence to keep the viewer entertained.

True, but this movie had the budget and the actors to make it into a great movie, without turning it into a musical.

The Avengers - 6.5/10

Can somebody explain the hype? I damn near fell asleep. The only thing keeping me awake was waiting to see the ''big guy''.

 

[Pooky]

Django Unchained

8.5-9/10

Such a good movie. Tarantino always manages to blend serious situations with comedy in such a convincing way, all wrapped up with a healthy dose of violence hyperbole.

 

[Devill]

Watched Super Troopers again last night.

Still love it. 7.5/10 for a comedy.

If you enjoyed grandma's boy, this should entertain you.
