Scarborough's Rate and Review Thread

There's plenty of people who haven't seen it. I know some people who won't watch black and white films for some utterly bizarre reason.

Schindler's List wouldn't have had the same effect in colour

Just been to see The Tree of Life

Pretentious, beautiful, challenging, interesting and at times even found it a tad boring.

I'll stick this in the 'might take some time to sink in' category.

Saw Super 8 last night. Excellent film really in the spirit of the Goonies, ET etc (as a lot of the reviews suggest). The acting by the kids is top quality.

Jane Eyre,

Period dramas are not my first choice, and the author of this gave me quite a bit of GCSE headache. However there is something about the Bronte tradgedies I do like. Not a bad adaptation, but if you know the story it's not going to blow you away.

I'll give it a healthy 7.

Mr Popper's Penguins

Even the kids thought it was complete and utter shite, and they'll watch any old cobblers

1/10

Watched Kick-ass the other night, brilliant.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I had read all good reviews of this film. Visually spectacular but wasn't overly impressed with the story and daft characters. Streets ahead of the Tim Burton version though.

Inbetweeners 7/10

Never found it laugh out loud funny, just amusing and cringe worthy. Thankfully skews all the cliches of British telly to film and gets the whole lads on tour thing pretty well spot on.

Enjoyable way to spend a Monday afternoon. Just don't expect a classic.

Insidious 7/10, not bad at all. If you are a bit jumpy when watching this type of film, don't watch it alone.
How it started, thought it was going to be along the lines of Poltergeist.
If you want a jump this weekend, go and watch it. (In the dark, on your own )

Just seen a couple of brilliant, if depressing, films.

The Bridge - 7/10 - A really dramatic, emotional documentary on the Golden Gate Bridge suicide jumpers.

It's Kind of a Funny Story - 10/10 - Zach Galifianakis, who I don't normally like, playing a suicidal man in an adult mental ward with a teenager who admits himself with suicidal tendancies. Darkly humourous but very well acted. I love films with little to know music in almost as much as I love a beautifully scored film. The artwork is cracking too.

Is that music that only Sid Little knows about? I imagine they're quite specialist films.

Bollocks. I'm blaming the fact I have a stomach bug and have lost a lot of fluid.

I used to think I had outrageously good taste in film and then I enjoyed Bad Teacher. I enjoyed it a lot.

There again, I have been on major drugs for two weeks.

I agree,It's not a bad film at all.

Crazy, Stupid, Love: A lot better than expected.

Steve Carrell is great (as usual) and it's a decent movie with several funny bits.
