Just finished watching "Scum", 1st time i'd seen it, brutal as fuck like

 

Which one, the banned '77 original or the '79 remake? I taped the '77 original off Channel 4 when they broadcast it as part of their Banned season in 1991, virtually wore the tape out I watched it so often. Brilliant film.

Think it was the '79 one. Is there a massive difference between the two films like?

I've never seen the '79 remake, but I think it's pretty much filmed scene-for-scene the same as the original, albeit with some different actors. If I remember correctly it was originally banned from broadcast by the BBC, after having been produced to be shown as part of their Play For Today series, so the producers decided to remake it as a theatrical film release instead.

Anyone seen Dredd yet?

[dj_bollocks]

I see the Judge Dredd movie is only in 3D (which I really dislike).... Anyone seen it ? And is it coming out in 2D ?

[chief_wiggum]

Just watched Super, it was alright although I was disappointed in the death of a certain character

[muttondressedaslamb]

I watched Anchor man for the first time tonight.

Not that great imo. Don't see the fuss. 6/10

 

I see Will Ferrel has a new film coming out about getting elected as a politician in America. Looks good.

[slippers]

Just bought The Shawshank Redemption on iTunes and watching it the now! Never seen it. Lead to believe its a classic? Spent a fortune lately on apple tv!

Really ? Blimey... No serenading MDAL with jazz flute then...

 

Watched Dredd - quite enjoyable action flick if you leave your expectations at the door... even in 3D. 4 lawgivers out of 5.

It's on ITV2 or Film 4 every 5 minutes so you must be the only person in the world who hasn't seen it !

Must be a burd thing! Every guy I know who has seen it loves it! However, my mrs and my mates mrs' all kind of just sat through it without really cracking a smile. I thought my mrs would have liked it as she has a good sense of humour, but nope...

I didn't really get the fuss either when I first saw it, but I found it so much funnier on second viewing. Now I absolutely love it. Give it another go sometime is my advice

I watched the A-Team film recently and was pleasantly surprised. I don't normally go for action movies but it doesn't take itself seriously at all and was good fun throughout.

One of the best t.v. series to movie conversions I've seen.

I agree with this. I went to the cinema 2 see it with very low expectations and really enjoyed it! Always good when that happens!

 

On the other hand I rented Hunger Games at the weekend expecting it to be good and was let down! Very slow starter was ok in the end. 6.5/10

 

Also rented this means war and thought it was decent enough. Wouldnt watch it again but 7/10

Yeah! It was on tv on Friday but missed it. Fancied watching it last night so just bought it. It's a film I'll watch a number of times so don't regret buying it!

On ITV2 as I type

[tommo1903]

Anyone seen Dredd yet?

 

Aye.

 

Quite gory in parts. Decent story, Karl Urban does a good job. Bird in its tidy.

 

7/10

[dervish]

Can't see how this missed out on an Oscar. So corrupt.

Pretty much my summary of the film. One big thing for me, and not sure if it is a spoiler so will do this just in case:

 

 

It was like watching The Raid again, but in English and slightly more guns, less martial arts

I also seen this! Haha! Prob didn't need 2 buy it!

I stayed for the story but I came for the rape.

Aye, can see where you'd get that from. Never seen said film (though I know what its about), was it any good?

[dj_bollocks]

Both are pretty good in my opinion. Loved The Raid - one film I'd really recommend watching in a cinema because the action is brilliant.

 

And with Dredd don't be expecting a literary masterpiece and you'll come out enjoying it a lot.

[Foster14]

I thought the Raid was a good watch. Quite brutal in part but great action.

 

Only thing that gets to me (and it does with all martial arts films) is that when there are a multiple of people on one side and the lone hero on the other, why do they always attack them one at a time?!

Finally watched American Reunion, funny as fuck, although not a patch on the original films

[tightbreeks]

the new brad pitt vehicle, i think it's called killing them softly, it's about assassins on hard times. it's meant to be a good 'un.

 

 

the grauniad reckons savages is piss poor and too long, but i like a bit of cartel/gangsta shit.

[ScottishJohn]

The house at the end of the street - 8/10. A solid "horror" movie.

Gave Google Movies a go on my phone and watched this. I thought it was pretty good. Nothing will match the first one but I liked Stifler finally getting his revenge on Finch.

[tommo1903]

Seen The Sweeney this afternoon. Plan B was very good, first 10 minutes I couldn't make out a fuckin word Ray Winstone said.

 

Decent film.

 

7.5/10
