Watched Seven Psychopaths last night and some parts are genius. I watched The Heist straight after, another with Christopher Walken. Really quirky, especially Morgan Freeman playing it really camp.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Oh God. I have just watched Pirhana DD. I am still in shock.

You might also want to check out Stand up guys, another really good Christopher Walken film from recent months that snuck under the radar a bit in amongst the higher profile oscar season films.

Is the new scary movie as bad as they say it is?

Me and a couple of friends want to go out and see a film for a laugh, apparently it's so painfully bad that it's not even funny? Not even ironically funny...

[bunique]

Have they ever been funny?!

[LondonTom]

I don't know why anyone would go see the scary movies at all, not even to be ironically funny (:S)...everyone of them has been utter cack.

[nightcrawler13]

the first Scary Movie was okay, Not Another Teen Movie was actually really funny, every spoof movie since has been painful

Seven Psychopaths was great, watched it on the train the other day and laughed out loud quite a few times

Evil Dead is great, not as "scary" as the poster says (I still think Paranormal Activity is the scariest movie I've seen in regards to suspense) but plenty of laughs, lots of jumps and more gore than you could shake a severed limb at.

Make sure to wait till the end of the credits

[t8yman]

I take it you have seen the original Dan? how does it compare?

kermode said "its not scary, and its not funny" which is basically what made the original the classic it is.

[nightcrawler13]

it's not the original, let's put it that way

it's definitely not the 'scariest movie you will ever experience', however it does have awesome gore, a couple good scares, some really good set pieces, lots of nods to the original and the whole cinema laughed a fair few times so I would say it is worth a watch

went to Odeon Flashback last night and saw Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas on original film, was great

[metallimuse]

Watched 'Silver Linings' with the missus last night,good film and I liked Jennifer Laurences performance but not sure if it was Oscar worthy.

[Steve P]

Watched The Ineruptors the other night. More of a documentary really, but amazing stuff. Like watching The Wire played out for real, very moving and pretty depressing but definitely worth a watch

Saw Iron Man 3 yesterday, great flick and probably the funniest of the 3 it's also easily better than the 2nd one.

[G-Stud]

Going to see Iron Man 3 in the morning - really can't wait

[LondonTom]

Iron Man 3 was utterly brilliant, saw it in Imax 3D to Thought it was decent use of 3D actually! Great acting in places

I am not usually one to care about spoilers, but so glad I didn't know about the Mandarin thing (Don't want to say exactly incase, someone does click...GO SEE IT AND FIND OUT

I hope this isn't the end of RDJ as Iron Man though...

I'm annoyed that I figured The Mandarin out when I saw him broadcasting on a set, I loved what they did but it does seem like a waste of a villian when you consider he is Iron Man's arch nemesis the same way Batman has Joker, Superman has Lex Luthor etc

Personally I thought it would have been the perfect way to end Iron Man, he gives up the suits but he declares he's still Iron Man anyway.

I saw it in 3D but only because that's all my local cinema was showing. Thought it didn't add anything at all. But then I generally dont. Did occaisionally have that horrible 'diorama' effect. The trailer before was for Wolverine. Now that had some horrible 3D.

Enjoyed the film though. Much better than the 2nd one.

[G-Stud]

Really enjoyed Iron Man 3 too Have to agree though, I didn't think the 3D added anything.

Did anyone else stay until after the credits? Lovely little moment between the 2 geniuses... genius? geni-i? I didn't see The Mandarin switch coming, which I liked

Got the trailers for Man of Steel (ohgosdohgodIcan'twait), Star Trek (really looking forward to that), Fast & Furious 6 (never seen a F&F movie - 6 looks MENTAL), and Monsters University (love Monsters Inc. so I'm hoping this stands up).

[philipsteak]

Sightseers. Very funny. Best Brit film Ive seen since 4 Lions. some of the reviews have said the same.

I've only seen a handful mind you.

Finally saw this last night. Worth waiting for, loved it. Nice seeing the places they went to cos I know most of them well.

[Purple Monkey]

Really enjoyed Iron Man 3. Thought it was the best one of the lot, hugely entertaining and fun, tied itself in well with current politics and gave us a foe that wasn't just an evil Iron Man. Also made The Mandarin a lot more personal.

I thought it was amazing how much of the film was spent attacking the US for things it really does, a good sign that more Americans will become aware of the problems with their country that you usually don't hear of whilst inside the bubble that is muricaaaa

[t8yman]

nah, it will go over most of their heads. the truly enlightened Americans know exactly whats going on - a hollywood movie aint gonna wake the others up.

[radish]

I must admit I was surprised, and a little disappointed, at how little time Iron Man was actually in it. I know Tony Stark is Iron Man and all that, but I didn't really want to see RDJ running around with a gun a Macgyvered gadgets - I want more suit action. And yes, I know there were 42 or so in the film but I reckon in total there's probably only about 20 minutes tops in the film where Iron Man is actually Iron Man, if that. Still a good film though, and a criticism I also found with Dark Knight Rises. Give me some films where the alter-ego stays put. Thanks.

That's the problem with superhero movies. They get actors in and then are afraid of covering their face up. Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man are always losing their masks.

I thought Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man brilliantly and I hope in the sequel he keeps his bloody mask on a lot longer because the scenes where he's in full on Spidey mode are all the best bits, his mannerisms and movements were spot on and EXACTLY how I always imagined Spider-Man to behave when I read the comics. More of that, less mopey mask-lessness. That goes for all comic book movies actually. You can only moralise so much until it becomes fucking dreary.

Into Darkness on Tuesday. CAN NOT WAIT!

And another thing...

Where was the rock? AC/DC et al really added to the first two films, the music in this one was pretty poor IMHO, score included. It lacked swagger.
