Movie recommendations

[CiKe]

I saw Taken 2 and enjoyed it well enough (despite interruption for the police to be called to throw some fella out), but couldn't give it more than 6/10. Like the original, very cheesy and stupid and a couple of moments actually make you laugh. I loved the first one, thought it was the most fun had had in the cinema in years (not to say it was the best movie).

The Angels Share - reasonable, a few laughs, hard to understand. 6/10
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - actually quite liked this, again a few laughs, thought McGregor was good 7.5/10
Hunger Games - watchable but a bit long. Didn't know anything about the books but from what had read thought was going to be more action - 6/10. Wouldn't be in rush to watch any sequel
Justice - watchable but only just - Nicholas Cage kind of does my head in these days, would have been better without him. 5.5/10
Carancho (Argentinian) - well acted, scripted and pretty depressing - thought was very good, but def not a popcorn movie to sit down to. 8/10
The Silence (German). Excellent criminal drama/thriller. 9/10

I'm not sure but I think I'm looking forward to this even though there is a dwarf playing 6'5'' Jack Reacher

Can't wait for the new Bond. Has been getting great reviews so far.

[The Iceman]

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - really enjoyed it. think RDJ is fantastic in the role and I like the plot twists and humour. 8/10
Machine Gun Preacher - Not great. Butler is choosing some weird roles lately... 5/10
the Iron Lady - Wasn't expecting the way she was portrayed at all - great performances. 7/10
flying Swords of dragon Gate  - Visually stunning, not as good as CTHD but wonderful to watch 7/10

Im a bit reluctant to say this, not a fan of Rom coms at all, but I found the "The 5 year engagement" enjoyable.  Some awkward humour which was funny.  Interested to see what some of you film buffs think.  Again I state, these sort of films are not usaully my cup of tea
Looking forward to the new bond film as well.

It didn't make me want to scratch my eyes out. . . about as big a compliment as I can pay a Romcom

You won't like it. Lots of shooting and stuff.

Saw Untouchable last night, French movie about a rich quadriplegic being cared for by a young man from the banlieues. Plenty of laughs and moves along nicely. Been a huge boxoffice success around Europe. 8/10

Saw What Richard Did last night. Not massively impressed........ maybe I expected too much on the basis of the reviews.
Very unusual casting for the main character's father................... an old face from a boxset .

[The Iceman]

Watched a film called "Red Lights" with DeNiro, Sigourney and Killian Murphy - good show now have to say - wasn't expecting it to be so enjoyable - nice twists.

Saw Skyfall over weekend, all the hype and reviews followed by a great start only flattered to deceive as the pace slackened off (inevitably I suppose) and the ending neither truely satisfied nor made me hungry to see more. 7/10.

Seen it last night, thought it was the worst Bond film I've ever seen. A couple of things pissed me off at the beginning of the film and they just kept on adding up and by the time I got to the end I couldn't wait to stop watching it. Casino Royale was a brilliant script and although they fucked up Quantum of Solace I actually believe this is worse. I could name at least 20 problems with the film but I just start with one, the "Welcome to Scotland" line. Jesus, how can a script as cutting and smooth as Casino Royale revert to shit like this.

Watched Intermission again last night, I'd forgotten how good it is.
