I won't say I told you so

Romeo and Juliet.. the 1996 one with Leonardo and Claire Danes and the great Harold Perrineau

5th or 6th time i have watched it

[Josy]

John Carter - I don't think it was as bad as some of the reviews I had read, but it wasn't great either, I agree it was slow at the beginning and the princess droned on too much a few times but I liked the ending.

[MTVN]

Glengarry Glen Ross - 9/10 - Brilliant film great cast and always really like movies like this, where it's all quite concentrated, just focusing on a few characters and mostly just being made up of amazing dialogue

Another reason to dislike Michael from Lost, everytime he appeared on screen I expected him to burst into "young hearts, run free..."

Love Romeo + Juliet

One Day - 6.8/10

Really interesting concept. Was just shaping up to be a pretty decent film for the first 90 minutes or so that you'd enjoyed but wouldn't really care for, but the last half hour really paid off. The scene right at the end of him and his daughter was brilliant, probably one of my favourite scenes ever.

What Women Want - 4/10

Had the potential to be a lot funnier than it was. Have seen bits and pieces of it before but this was the first time I'd actually sat and watched it properly. Good old Mel was great as always though

[GypsyGoth]

The Interrupters

It's a documentary, I'm pretty sure it was about Chicago, and it focused on a group of people who try and stop violence by interrupting arguments, although it's not in a confrontational type of way. They work on their own blocks and know the gangmembers and such, so if trouble happens, these people try and get the parties involved to end it peacefully 6/10

Stoker

A really good modern gothic horror. Spooky and at times very intimate, loved it 8/10

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Fun, kinda comicbook like entertainment 6/10

If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front

A fascination documentary about a group of eco-terrorists who oppose logging in the states and become one of the most wanted organisations 8/10

[Locke.]

Savages - 3/10

Tim Riggins, Emile Hirsch, John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro, high ranking GIP Blake Lively.. Didn't think it could possibly be bad but how wrong I was. The first 45 minutes were actually really good and I'd probably have given it about a 9/10 at that stage, but then it all just starts going downhill once Blake Lively is kidnapped. The ending is absolutely terrible aswell, possibly the worst ending to a film I have ever seen. Was just really stupid. Don't understand Emile Hirsch having such a small role either, was pretty much non existant.

[Locke.]

John Carter - 3/10

Taylor Kitsch was pretty good in it but it is just really boring and uninteresting, the only good scenes were when he first arrives on Mars and meets those weird creatures, the first battle scene, and the final scene when he gets the other medallion. The final battle was a massive anticlimax aswell. Hard to believe it cost a quarter of a billion to make.

Hugo - 7/10

Really well made with a lot of likable characters, was expecting the great Jude Law to be in more then he was though, he only had a 2 minute scene and then he was gone.. Ben Kingsley and Sacha Baron Cohen were amazing in it and the young girl who was Hugo's friend was a really good Actress as well.

[Novo]

Chronicle - 6.5/10 - Was good seeing Vince from Friday Night Lights having a pretty big role, it was a bit far fetched mainly towards the end but the Story was okay although they never really explained how the UFO got down there or why they got the Powers

[GypsyGoth]

Safety Not Guaranteed

An indy movie, was pretty disappointed in it. I wasn't sure what it was going to be about (I try and avoid as much info about films before I see them), but from the name I thought it was going to be thrilling. But it was more amusing and quirky 5/10

Oz the Great and Powerful

Loved it! I'm a fan of all things Oz, but this surpassed my expectations. Worth seeing in the cinema 8/10

The Innkeepers

Horror that almost works. Nonetheless it did creep me out a couple of times 4/10

Prom

Teen romance about the american ritual of prom. Good cast and script, the soundtrack was a bit of a let down, however there was a couple of songs from Those Dancing Days, so that made up for it 6/10

Promised Land

I'm a bit tired, so I'll watch the rest of this sometime tomorrow.

[Ramsay]

Primer


6/10 , only an hour and a bit long and it was a huge mind**** the entire time..its about these two engineers who discover time travel by accident.. but i quite enjoyed the times i actually had somewhat of an idea what was going on..it was made with only a $7000 budget too which is impressive

[Shaun]

can someone infract claudia please, she's clearly posted a film she's going to watch in the "what was the last film you watched?" thread, and she's clearly looking for a fight

[GypsyGoth]

I'll edit that post after I watch them, so no one will be any the wiser

[Josy]

I watched The Burbs earlier, it was still amazing

[Jords]

Limitless.. bit **** :/

[Niamh.]

I quite liked Limitless Jordy ^

Mine was Oz : The Great and Powerful - It was enjoyable, not amazing but pretty good - 6.5/10

[Ramsay]

limitless was great

[MTVN]

A Bronx Tale - 8/10 - Pretty straightforward crime/gangster film but still a really good watch

[Tom4784]

Oz the Great and Powerful - 6/10 - It was what it was, it wasn't great but it was fun and it was charming. Forgettable but good.

[Vanessa]

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.

[GypsyGoth]

Arbitrage

Very rich people on their problems, although it was good to see the star from Another Earth in a movie like this and look like she belongs 5/10

Broken City

I love detective movies, well most of them, this was pretty good. It was lacking in parts 6/10

Vacancy 2: The First Cut

I thought the first one was spookier 5/10

Side Effects

Intriguing story, it kinda looks at depression and the medication of it but when it was over I was left feeling a bit cold 6/10

Lola Versus

Strangely this is the 2nd recent movie to have the Lower Dens on it's soundtrack, I guess my music taste isn't so drastically different to others, anyway the movie is quaint 5/10

[King Gizzard]

Not a great week then Claudia
