Movie recommendations

[screenexile]

The Grand Budapest, if you accept the type of comedy it's going to be, is absolutely excellent. I tried the royal tenebaums recently again to see how they were but not a patch on TGBH. Decent all the same.

I watched it and agree TGBH was very very good and well worth watching!

[Canalman]

Dog Soldiers on the telly tonight. Well worth a watch for those who haven't seen it before. Stumbled upon it one night while channel hopping and would really recommend it.

Watched Green Street again at the weekend. Can't for the life of me understand how it got so much bad press. Excellent film imo. Reckon some just couldn't get around the fact Elijah Wood was in it.

2 very good shows Canalman.

for very good reason... plays a Harvard student who rather logically becomes a "come an hav a go if yer think yer hard enough" die hard hammers hooligan... message of the movie is that he comes away a better person for loyally backing up small minded c*ntish behaviour outside pubs/down alleyways. The whole premise of extolling the honour, loyalty and virtue of gutter Cockney-geezer soccer hooliganism is laughable. Would recommend The Firm, the Gary Oldman film as a solid alternative for the scummy reality and hopelessness of the hooliganism era.

+1

Was not believable on any level including Woods' role.

Guardians of The Galaxy.
Was sceptical beforehand, thought Marvel were just taking the p1ss with so many movies in the one 'universe', but as it turns out I found this very entertaining and enjoyable.
Plenty of slapstick, plenty of gags, plenty of action and a storyline that introduces us to a whole new section of the Marvel universe.
Decent cast too with plenty of familiar faces and each contributing in their own way. Chris Pratt cementing himself as a leading man now in Holywood id wager. 

Basically it was a fun ride and id like to see more. Definitely the new Star Wars for a whole younger generation.

8.5/10

8.5/10

Would agree but I'll knock off half a point as I thought some of it dragged a wee bit. Definitely entertaining and the lead actor was good - no doubt another franchise in the making. When Drax appeared my wee lad said (very loudly) that he was a wrestler much to the amusement of people around!

[The Iceman]

Watched Noah there last night - thought it was a decent effort. 8/10
Robocop - not bad at all - stayed true to the original story with some nice effects. 7/10
The Butler - epic show - really really enjoyed it - 9/10
Joe (I know it's a Nicholas Cage movie I should have known) 4/10 pure dung

So would I, the Zulus kicking the Cockneys back to Laandan!

Any reviews of Inbetweeners Movie or Planet of the Apes??

[CD]

I enjoyed my  biannual cinema visit to see the Inbetweeners. A packed house at a comedy always results in a good atmosphere and plenty of laughs. It's not Hitchcock, it's not quite as  funny as the first one, but I was thoroughly entertained and had a few great laughs.  I'd certainly recommend it if you enjoyed the series.
