Love the Wolf of wall street,Dallas buyers club,12 years a slave and the LEGO movie!.....but `Starred up` made by a N.Ireland film Co blew me away today....not cos am a violent chav...just very much what prison is aka what ww2 was to saving private ryan(even though a tad ott) all on a shoestring budget. google `watch starred up movie4k` if at loose end n like films too..top film
As a sad bastard who loves comics, I very much enjoyed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Wolf of Wall Street was class too. Not seen 12 Years a Slave or Dallas Buyers Club so couldn't comment. Though the Lego Movie is the boss. Am looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy, Sin City 2 and the final Hobbit film across the rest of the year.
Next year, on paper, can be one of the best years in recent memory for movies. Avengers: Age of Ultron, Mad Max: Fury Road, Jurassic World, Terminator: Genesis, Assassins' Creed, Star Wars VII...
Feels sort-of wrong talking about Oscar-nominated films as 2014 films. But if I was including them, Dallas Buyers Club, Her and 12 Years were all great (Wolf of Wall Street was not). But otherwise, best films (not ordered): Frank The Lego Movie We Are The Best! Grand Budapest Hotel Edge of Tomorrow The Punk Singer Under the Skin
I really enjoyed those three as well (including ASM2, which a lot of people were sniffy about) - but I think (hope) that Guardians of the Galaxy will top them! Can't wait for that next week.
I watched Wolf Of Wall Street three nights back and I was disappointed. It was nearly good, but it was too over the top, which spoilt it for me. I also watched Life Of Pi the next night, which was okay but not quite as good as I expected(hyped too much). I also watched Man On Fire this week, which is ten years old, but absolutely brilliant. I don't normally watch films on holiday, but the house I was staying at had a cinema and a DVD library and you can't get a tan on a night, so I thought I'd do some catching up.
Michael Fassbender is meant to be the lead, so on paper it should be brilliant. As long as they keep it in a time period rather than constantly going back to the present day like the games...
Unity looks incredible so I have faith with Ubisoft, I assume they're involved with the movie to some degree regarding the plot. I might save up some money so I can buy a next-gen console, I'm really excited for Unity and I'd like to play GTA V and FIFA 15 on next-gen as well.
Grand Budapest Hotel was pretty ace. 12 Years a Slave was... so bloody relentlessly worthy and depressing, without ANY let-up. Good, but not a classic.
Seen a load of fms at work n can't remember if either they are 2014 releases or sometimes their names but stand ours are Lone survivor - great great film 12yrs a slave - Cold comes the night Wolf of Wall Street
Small wonder Kevin Spacey said all the best actors in TV as fook all but daft superhero work in Hollywood now!
Ironic of Spacey considering his filmography. The only thing on TV he has done his entire career is House of Cards. Though that is not a bad show.
If you guys want a good movie to watch on DVD try "Cold Eyes" (2012) which is a remake of the original "Eye in the Sky" (2007). Korean with subtitles either are well worth the watch. Trailer for those interested: [video=youtube_share;SH15-Aj57fc]http://youtu.be/SH15-Aj57fc[/video]
Eh? Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? The Usual Suspects? L.A. Confidential? American Beauty? Beyond the Sea? [EDIT: I may have mis-understood you, Macca!]
GTF. Kylie and Jean-Claude in a movie? Check. Awesome SFX? Check. Great story line? Check. Incredible fight scenes? Check Street Fighter. Best game to film adaption ever. FACT.
