darrenm Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Adventureland. Surprisingly good even if Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg were playing Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg. Great soundtrack. Really benefits from the same approach that The Way, Way Back has, which is to break outside of defined rules for how characters and plots should be defined. People are complex, there's very few instances where anyone is good or bad, we are defined by our decisions, which are sometimes ill judged. In these movies they don't portray anyone in any light apart from what decisions they make which I think allows you to empathise with the characters much more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Chaos (2005) If you have watched any number of Jason Statham you will know what type of film to expect. This was no different. I really enjoyed this one and is probably the best Statham movie i have seen. 8/10 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking your analysis on this film and I agree with 100% - Although, for sheer comedy, there's nothing quite like Bill Hader in a baseball bat wielding rage....

darrenm Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah Bill Hader was surprisingly good, especially that bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaForever1970 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Seeing Fury Road this evening, which currently has 99% positive reviews on Rotton Tomatoes from 89 which is quite simply extraordinary, i think only Toy Story 2 gets near that. Shock horror the ONE bad review is from The Mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 For a summer blockbuster to get that kind of score is nuts, most of the big ones from last year scored 85% - 90% (planet of the apes, xmen, jump street, guardians etc) It's an unbelievable score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 A bit of a cooky one, but I really enjoyed The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman It's a bit of an Eastern European set 'True Romance-esque' film about a young man going nowhere in life, whose mother dies and appears before him telling him to go to Bucharest, where he gets strangely mixed in with a cellist and her criminal ex-partner... it is cooky, blackly humoured and overall entertaining! Shia LeBeef is fairly good and Mads Mikkelsen continues his fine recent form. Even Ron Weasley and Jay Cartwright appear in it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted May 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2015 I wasn't a huge fan of that (I found it revelled too much in its own pretentiousness), but I thought Mr.Lebooof was pretty decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not studio ghibli, but plenty of similar themes, relating to family / nature. Suitable for all, worth adding to the likes of My neighbour Totorro etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaForever1970 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Fury Road is an incredible film and also bonkers and very odd, odd as in Mad Max odd; meaning it probably wont make much money Which is a shame as its been years where there is an action film that you can tell what is going on and its not edited like a music video. Every action is clear to see, who is doing what going where; seems simple but seems not to happen much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw95 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Watch Big Game last night, was decent. Worst part was a trailer for a new film with Melissa McCarthy and Miranda Hart... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Weird looking film called Tale of Tales coming out soon. Looks like an adult fairytale, don't know if the trailer would pass the VTBFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
