Paperman 2012
Watched by Raymond Calderon 28 Feb, 2013 Shows the absolute beauty short films can have. Executed incredibly and with such a simple concept, that it's hard to find any sort of fault. The design of the film is what really makes the film for me, with the blending of the black and white, with the computer animation overlaid with traditional animation: perfect! Disney's shorts are top of the line and this one is one of the best.

Alien³ 1992
by markmooney 22 Feb, 2013 2 David Fincher's Alien 3 is a underrated gem, The extended cut is the best version to watch its bold, downbeat and a brilliant addition to the Alien saga.

Cloud Atlas 2012
Watched by Driver 22 Feb, 2013 95 "What is an ocean, but a multitude of drops?" - Adam Ewing
I think the only sensible way to review this film is by each of it's inter-twining stories. In chronological order, of course:
PHASE ONE
Time and setting: South Pacific Ocean, 1849
Genre: Sea-faring adventure/period drama
Protagonist: Adam Ewing (Jim Sturgess)
Well, I suppose a good place to start is the worst place to start, because things can only get better. Although the events of this section are meant… -
Seven Psychopaths 2012
Watched by Silent J 17 Feb, 2013 27 Ok, so the lead guy's (Colin Farrell) name is Marty. He's a writer working on a script called Seven Psychopaths.
The writer of this film, Seven Psychopaths, is MARTIN McDonaugh.
I think that Martin McDonaugh has lived more of a badass life than any of us could have imagined...

Spawn 1997
Added by Jonathan Stigter Garbage......the literal nicest thing I can say is that it had about two or three moments where the effects weren't freaking awful but the rest absolutely was.....what a piece of crap.

Warm Bodies 2013
Watched by Silent J 10 Feb, 2013 2 If you think about it, falling in love with a zombie automatically makes you a necrophiliac. That's kinda nasty.
Warm Bodies breaks every single rule in the zombie handbook: these zombies can talk, think, dance, shrug, have feelings, love...
...and it's awesome! A lot funnier than I thought it would be too!

Django Unchained 2012
Watched by Some Like It Hot Fuzz 02 Feb, 2013 "This is hands down Tarantino's finest story yet. From the opening scenes to the final moments, Tarantino the writer knows exactly where he's taking Django as well as every other character involved; Tarantino the director assuredly takes you along with them every step. This is intoxicating cinema". Full review here

Paperman 2012
Watched by Adam Cook 30 Jan, 2013 19 Although many would have seen this much talked about animated short film in front of the theatrical release of Wreck-It-Ralph, Disney have kindly put it on YouTube for those, like me, who originally missed it.
Paperman is a beautifully animated short, brimming was charming little touches and a big unapologetic heart. Following a chance encounter at a train station with a beautiful young woman, a New York office clerk is given a second chance at making a meet cute connection…

Seven Psychopaths 2012
If I had to describe this film with one word I would choose the word fun! It was just a good time. The dialogue is clever, the cast is great, and the splashes of blood and violence are right in my wheelhouse.
I really enjoyed McDonagh's last fim In Bruges so I've been really looking forward to this one. While it's not quite as good as In Bruges it's still a really good film and a damn fun time. I…

Seven Psychopaths 2012
Watched by grooveman 19 Jan, 2013 8 Definitely the funniest, one of the most bloody, and easily one of the most badass films of 2012. Martin McDonagh is becoming one of my favorite directors. Oh....and this has Tom Waits in it who makes every film better. One of my favorites of 2012.
