Incendies (2010)-This is very heavy viewing. It's a French-Canadia/Arabic movie with coexisting timelines. A woman asks her two children to carry out her last will and testament, to find their brother and to find their father. As we watch the two children retrace the steps back to Lebanon, the movie also flash backs to when the mother was younger and in the middle of the conflict between Christian militias and Muslims. Like I said earlier, it is very heavy viewing, and and is a tad slow at times, but I still thought it was a very good movie. I give it 7.5 bananas out of 10.

Zodiac: Signs of the Apocalypse
When a mysterious planet crosses the sun, global catastrophes are unleashed. A rogue scientist is the key to deciphering the symbols and humanity's only chance at survival.
I love this type of film , cheesy end of the world disaster filled rubbish , I already know it will be bad before I watch
The acting was crap the story had plot holes in it you could drive a bus thought.
You either like these films or don't , I suspect most don't.

Where the feck do you dig these films up, Pauldy? That one only has 2 user reviews on IMDB!

I saw this the other day. Loved every moment of it!It shits all over the second film.
Poseidon Rex
A small, secluded island off the coast of Belize suddenly finds itself terrorized by a deadly predator from the planet's distant past when deep sea divers accidentally awaken an ancient evil.
Was this film bad , no for it to be bad it would of had to improve.
There is nothing good about this film.
1/10
Snow Shark: Ancient Snow Beast
12 years ago during a scientific expedition 3 animal biologists stumbled upon a great discovery that ended in tragedy. Whatever killed them has awoken and now the legend of the Ancient Snow Beast could prove to be more than just a legend.
Even worse than the last one, lasted 10 mins and turned it off.
ZERO
Zombeavers
A fun weekend turns into madness and horror for a bunch of groupies looking for fun in a beaver infested swamp.
How could I not watch a film with this title, but I wish I had not, it was billed has a Comic/ Horror is was neither, it was just dreadful.
2/10
The Ouija Experiment
Five friends decide to videotape their experimental sessions with an Ouija board in an attempt to create a viral video that is sure to make them famous. Personal drama causes members of the group to forget to maintain focus on the game's important rules and soon fall prey to the evil entities that occupy the board.
For a low budget film , I thought this was pretty good, the acting was not great but the scary parts were pretty scary.
If you like this sort of film and I do , you will enjoy this.
6/10
The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death
A group of unsuspecting theatre goers are trapped, after a ravenous spirit is resurrected and released from a Ouija board.
FFS why do people make sch terrible sequels, it follows on from the first film , but this set in an old cinema at the world premier of the 1st film.
Where has the first film had some decent scares in it , this tried the same but they just did not work, the acting was dreadful.

Zombeavers surely has a spinoff in the works in the porn industry.
Boooooooring
Some Stella choices of films right here!
Jesus Christ Pauldy you're wasting your life.

Have you seen Birdemic? It's right up your street. It's shite but also amazing. You just need to get through the first 45 minutes where absolutely nothing happens. Then, the birds come... Which is one of the greatest moments in cinema history.

Pauldy likes a shit film or two.
Perhaps his recent experiences will send him back to a higher grade of movie for a few weeks!

Snow Shark: Ancient Snow Beast - That's some inviting name for a movie.
getting paid to watch them.

Oh fair play. At least your being compensated.
I have watched it, maybe the worst film I have seen.
working nights this week and it pretty quite, working my way though stuff on my HDD.
was thinking the same.I just love cheesy shit films, even better if it is end of the world disaster stuff.
You trying to say my films are shit m8?
Have you seen the masterpiece that is Troll 2?
I have not seen either of them but I will soon , just read imdb and it sounds daft.
Until we remember that we all have thousands of posts on an internet forum and reality hits home!
skip the 1st and go straight to the 2nd one. Complete shambles
The Theory of Everything
Excellent, just excellent. I'm surprised by how impressed I am with this film. Great story really well told. Eddie Redmayne must be a certainty to get the best actor nod.

Just seen Whiplash. Wow.
Of all the best picture noms, I've not seen Birdman (which I'm rather excited about) and American Sniper (meh), but it'll be hard to convince me that Whiplash doesn't deserve the nod.

State of Emergency
Chaos consumes a small town when a chemical facility explodes releasing a deadly toxin. Moments after the leak, the town's residents show signs of mutation, causing the military to quarantine the area leaving any survivors helpless and trapped inside. The story follows Jim, a young man isolated within the red zone, as he eludes flesh eating zombies in an attempt to win back his freedom.
Not a big fan of Zombie film , but this was pretty good, I found it more to do with how the group coped and interacted than with the Zombies.
Its not brilliant but it is watchable.
5/10
Prisoners of the Sun
A multinational expedition discovers a lost city beneath a pyramid, where they must stop the reawakened gods of ancient Egypt from initiating the apocalypse.
My sort of rubbish end of the world silliness , John Rhys Davis plays a madman intent on taking over the world, even had Shane Richie in playing a dodgy hubbly bubble pipe smoking crack head who come to a sticky end very quickly.
I cant lie it was not a good film, the ending descended in to farce, but I am a sucker for this type of film so loved it, other wont.
5/10
Evil Feed
A group of young martial artists infiltrate an underground pit fighting ring where the loser is chopped up and served in a Chinese restaurant.
This is a sick sick film, lots of blood and guts and scene similar to the bath scene in I spit on your Grave.
The film has no real plot, just killing for the sake of killing.
The House Dickie Special and how they prepare it brings tears to the eye.
The film has a funny parts in it , they have to of been put in there intentionally but they come out of nowhere.
The main character doesn't stand out even a tenth as much as my favorite character of this film Yuki, played by Alyson Bath. With her almost fun drive for cruelty.
This is a film not many will like or even want to watch, not really a film you can like but still I watched it all.

Lourdes is a young woman that works at night cleaning a restaurant. All the money she made is for her son that lives in her hometown with her mother. We know very little about Lourdes son, only that he is sick and Lourdes is working every night and sending money to help her son and find a cure for his illness. Suddenly, Lourdes starts seeing visions in the restaurant where she works, in her little apartment. These visions, her evil co-workers and her son apart from her, all this stress Lourdes out and she began questioning herself who wants to hurt her? Or if all of whats happening is really happening or not.
This was excellent, one of the best films I have seen for a long time, not a horror in the true scene of a horror and took me a while to get into it, but once I did I loved it and the twist at the end , did not see it coming.

The Ouija Experiment
Thought I'd follow Pauldy's review and watch this. The acting was SO hammy and the dialogue was written by a 5 year old, but that made me enjoy it more for some reason, plus the hench black guy was too funny. Having said that, there were some moments that really made me jump so it did ok in some sense 4.5/10
Carlito's Way 9/10. Gets better every time I see it. Great score and one of the most fun and true feeling romances done in film. Pacino and Penn both fantastic. The boat scene, the final scene and the use of Cheryl Lynn's "got to be real" and Joe Cocker's "you are so beautiful" are great.
Can't say I prefer it to Scarface, but it works in different areas and comes almost as close. Not quite as fun though.

Wow.
The whole chase (last 10-15mns?) is brilliantly done, I was on the edge of my seat first time I watched it.
Also, Aragorn in a wheelchair and 'fecking diapers man!'
Fury (2014)
meh... worst casting ever. I just knew as soon the movie ended, that Brad Pitt had to be a producer, and damm i was right.
This type of movie doesn't work with known actors. I just couldn't believe anything they said... dialogues felt fake and without soul. They where trying too hard to act, like if they where at a play in broadway. The new young kid of the tank crew... all his scenes painful to watch. And of course the ending... classic USA.
Definitely not the best war movie. Only thing enjoyable was the tanks.
6/10
ps. cant remember the name, but there's a movie i watched long time ago, about a russian Tank in Afghanistan. Gonna try to watch again soon but i remember it was pretty good.

The Imitation Game
Please tell me this isn't up for any awards? Besides taking the term 'based on a true story' to ridiculously tenuous extremes it couldn't even be bothered to imitate a good movie. Talk about boring. I turned off when it was revealed that the unbreakable code that they'd needed to solve by building the computer from Superman 3 was no more than a basic Sunday Mail supplement puzzle. I mean honestly, they work out the letters because

the Germans always sign off there messages 'heil Hitler'.
The robot scene in Superman 3 was the scariest thing I'd ever seen as a child. I don't think I've been frightened more by any movie since.
That's what The Imitation Game was missing (though I have to say, I quite liked it, myself).
Also I can't stand Keira Knightley and everything she's ever been in.
