"low budget Sh*t" but you're recommending Wolf Creek 2 !  :laugh:   :laugh:   :laugh:

Actually did see the first one, it's ok if you like that kinda stuff personally I'd give it no more than 4 or 5 out of 10

Transformers 4 is a decent effort but its riddled with annoyances for anyone whos a fan of the original series, I think Michael Bay should walk away from the franchise before he makes a bigger mess of it

They could only afford to pay De Niro enough to do an opening and ending scene.  :laugh:

At least Wolf Creek 2 had their budget spent on good gory bits  :laugh: apart from the Kangeroo's crossing the road.

A good movie I recommend and hadn't scene before (it's a good few years old now) is the Ghost Writer with Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnon. Not a fan of Ewan personally but was able to stand him in this one.

Another one I saw yesterday, another actor on the slide like Cusack who's started to enter the low budget scene is Nic Cage in Rage - rating meh.

Was thinking about watching that. The title reminds me of "In Bruges" (also starring Ralph Fiennes), so I hope it's something similar?

:Oo:
For me Age of Extinction is several steps back from Dark of the Moon... It's like watching a cartoon... good special affects but nothing much else... The first film was still the best, all downhill from there...

I've been catching up on some films I missed at the cinema...

Robocop (2014) - 3/5 - better than expected, could have been better though.

Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit - 4/5 - a very engaging movie which reminds me of the previous Jack Ryan Series movies like the Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger...

I personally enjoyed it more that DOTM. It's a decent action flick but you're right about it being all downhill. I loved the animated series but Michael Bay obviously never watched it. He's literally spat in the face of anyone who liked it and grew up with it. He should stop making them now, the multiple story threads are becoming confusing and there's no continuity between the films, though its Michael Bay so that shouldn't surprise anybody. His next one in the Turtles, he's off the butcher that now...

Oh and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in bloody brilliant!

Watched Dawn... I give it 3.5/5... Enjoyed it but the human actors were abit too flat...

Watched guardians of the galaxy... Also 3.5/5. Entertaining and funny. Worth a watch...

The above films are good... But missing thay x factor which would make them complete and very good. Just didn't move me that much... I'm either getting old or am watching too many movies....

The missus loved it, its certainly something differet and Fiennes character had me entertained throughout. Its almost like a play so can maybe be more appealing to a specific taste. I enjoyed mind but not as much as she did

Watched TMNT... Despite the bad press and review I kinda enjoyed it alot... 3.5/5...

It's not the plot cause the plot is as good as non-existent... It's the ninja turtle characters which  I thought is hilarious...
