I read the book a couple of months ago....very good but came across as full of himself like!!!!

Watched all 10 episodes of this in one sitting last week....

Didn't think I was gonna be too keen on it but couldn't stop watching it....ending up going to bed after 4am....Amazing Series....10/10!!!!

Birdman 6/10 clever cinematography but not my kind of film. About an old actors breakdown during his first broadway show.

American Sniper 7/10 enjoyable, typical american film gloryfying their military.

Imitation game 8/10 very good watch with only the soppy bits letting it down.

Just wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this pile of shite....

For some reason I thought it was gonna be a 'No Country For Old Men' type of film after reading some 'very good' reviews but by God it couldn't be any further from that classic....really really bad story with even worse acting....and to top it all 1 of the main characters is the spitting pop of Martin Platt....how the feck can you take a film seriously with Martin Platt starring in it....and feck knows how it's got 81% on Rotten Tomatoes....Terrible Terrible Film....0/10!!!! sadx

Unbroken 6/10 just watched it thinking it might be really good since the Coen brothers wrote it then I realised Angelina Jolie directed it. It's not terrible but it lacks anything to make it worthwhile watching.

Look forward to seeing what you make of the film as no doubt the story itself would of been very interesting but felt the film let itself down. Could of been so much more.

Watched this the other day, good film and will definitely win awards, 9/10

Saw this the other day as well, 4/10. Falls into the trap of a predictable twist for the sake of it.

Think I'll watch this tonight, shall let you know how it is:

yloop · **Posted:** Sun Feb 01, 2015 3:22 pm

So, watched a few over the last week or so:

Wasn't too fussed on watching it, thought Cooper was a comedy actor only but quite enjoyed it, 7/10.

Sorry about the massive picture, enjoyed this one till near the end when physics got a bit hollywood. 8/10.

Really enjoyed this one, Cumberbatch was very good. 9/10.

American Sniper....was ok but the book was much much better....6/10!!!!

The Imitation Game....really really enjoyed it....9/10!!!!

Interstellar....haven't seen it but looks very good....going to Starwood now to hire it on Beetamax!!!!

BTW....just finished reading the book '12 Years A Slave'....the film is absolute dogshit compared to the book....even though I enjoyed the film....but the book was amazing and includeds lots of stuff the film missed out!!!!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Feb 01, 2015 4:37 pm

Yloop....did you watch The Gambler????

I enjoyed it but could have been a tad better....but still very watchable....7/10!!!!

yloop · **Posted:** Sun Feb 01, 2015 4:44 pm

I still haven't watched it, started to twice but the beginning had me wandering while I was waiting for it to start properly. Eventually I just turned it off. Will have to sit down and make myself watch it at some point!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Feb 01, 2015 5:45 pm

If you want to be totally bedazzled and flummaxed by a film watch this....

I'll have to check that out Compo!!!!

Toxteth O'Grady · **Posted:** Fri Feb 13, 2015 11:30 am

I enjoyed Gone Girl, didn't think I would when it first came out at the cinema but watched it the other night... very unnerving.

Still yet to see Nightcrawler but heard very good things. If you like Gyllenhaal then give Enemy a go from last year...

monkeehanger · **Posted:** Tue Feb 24, 2015 6:24 am

A decent watch and probably explains why I shouldn't ever start to play it!

I'd be the one in a suit on cup final day, with my bin burning and shaking hands with the door knob!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed Mar 18, 2015 12:35 am

John Hendrickson at Esquire called the series' ending "one of the most jaw-dropping moments in television history."

He was talking about this....'The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst'!!!!

Just finished watching the 6th and final episode....(watched them all in 2 sittings but could have watched them all in one go if Pools weren't playing)....and that quote above is 100% correct!!!! It's by far the best ever True Crime Documentary I have ever seen....I doubt I will ever watch anything close to this ever again....Amazing Film Making!!!!

Robert Durst got arrested Saturday 14th March 2015....the eve of the Final Episode being aired!!!!

This is a MUST WATCH....and if you don't know the background to the story....keep it like that and just watch it!!!!

Words cannot describe how good it is....10/10!!!!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed May 13, 2015 10:31 pm

Recently watched these....

Expected more and took 2 goes but it was ok....7/10!!!! confised

Just finished watching this one....really enjoyed it with breathtaking performances by the 2 lead roles....9/10!!!!

Saved the best till last....

I usually hate costume/period type dramas but this is something special....how Timothy Spall wasn't nominated for best actor at the Oscars I'll never know....his portrayal of Turner is possibly the best performance on film I've ever seen....Spall is surely one of the greatest actors of all time....the story is great to and opens your eyes to the life of a great British Artist....10/10!!!!

Jiz · **Joined:** Fri Feb 06, 2015 5:50 pm **Posts:** 299

Whilst Timothy Spall is excellent in Mr Turner, it is overall quite a dull fillum during which I dropped off to sleep for a couple of minutes (although I was watching it late in a warm cinema).

I am still glad I watched it but it is an acquired taste if you're not a fan of the history of art.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu May 14, 2015 8:54 am

I agree that nothing much really happens but it's the acting by all and the great characters that keeps you interested!!!!

3 times I've watched it now and I 'hate' these type of films/tv dramas!!!! confised

I like your reviews Mr Rules, but you havent sold me this one. I shudder at the prospect of watching a film because of the great acting. I hate actors. Honest I do. Especially the ones that tell you how that had to really get into the part and how hard it was. OH FUCK OFF YOU PRETENTIOUS C UNTS.

Sorry went off on one there.

Timothy Spall was better as Barry or Wormtail in Harry Potter.

I'm not sure but you need to watch it....and give yourself time to watch all in one sitting cos when 1 episode finishes you HAVE TO watch the next one!!!!!

In fact it's my first full day off today and I.m full of cold/man flu so I'm gonna watch all six episodes again!!!!

Just Watched This....
