Eden Lake - 7/10

[Nancy.]

Arrival.

Loved the start but it started to drag 3/4 of the way through. Can't see me watching it again, tbh. 5/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Expendables 3 (2014)
9/10 > OTT action which is what I expect from a Expendable film

Death Race 3: Inferno (2013)
8/10 > I shouldn't like these films but find them entertaining

A Million Ways To Die In The West (2014)
7/10 > quite amusing in places

The Woman In Black 2: Angel Of Death (2015)
7/10 > first was much scarier & better

Independence Day 2: Resurgence (2016)
7/10 > don't get the hate for it was a decent sequel & yes no way near as good as the first

Dumb & Dumber To (2014)
7/10 > good but pointless sequel that didn't really need to happen

[Shaun]

Silence

Oh boy that dragged on. Pretty great though. 8/10 because there's something about Andrew Garfield I can't quite picture as a Portuguese priest. Amazing cinematography and the cincadas throughout had me rather uncomfortable even when I got a bit bored. Adam Driver was great and I'd have really liked to have seen an Oscar nomination for the guy who played the Inquisitor, one of the most unnerving performances I've seen in a long time.

[Niamh.]

Dr. Strange - It was alright, I suppose it was very different to the usual Marvel super hero stuff but it was a bit Green lantern ish - 5/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

Shaun The Sheep Movie (2015)
10/10 > very funny

Lockout (2012)
9/10 > surprisingly great

The Gift (2015)
7/10 > good thriller

Let's Be Cops (2014)
7/10 > a good cop comedy for a change

Lucy (2014)
7/10 > a bit slow but it was quite good

Charlie's Angels (2000)
6/10 > it was ok just ok

[Tom4784]

Jackie - 9/10

I really liked it, I liked how unlike most biopics it isn't reverent towards it's subject. We see Jackie Kennedy as a strong and capable person but also as a sometimes awkward and often abrasive person who wants to mean well but is also quite selfish and perhaps even a bit self absorbed and it made her far more compelling for it.

I'll be shocked if Natalie Portman doesn't get the oscar, it's pretty much the best performance of her career.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Pixels (2015)
8/10 > really liked it, the Pac-Man chase was the best part

Cooties (2015)
7/10 > kids go cannibal & teachers fight them off with amusing & gory results

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
6/10 > amusing especially the Cat part

Vegas Vacation (1997)
6/10 > considered the worst but I thought it was good

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)
4/10 > a couple faint smiles but that's it

National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985)
3/10 > rubbish not even remotely funny

[Benzient-XXVII]

Angels & Demons (2008)
8/10 > much better than the Da Vinci Code

Blair Witch (2016)
8/10 > solid sequel but I was disappointing I was hoping it was going to be as scary as the first

Trespass (2011)
7/10 > good home invasion thriller

Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle (2003)
7/10 > much better than the first

The Da Vinci Code (2006)
6/10 > (watched the extended version) it was ok but it dragged a lot & no wonder it was on for nearly 3 hours

Shadow People (2012)
4/10 > good concept but it was boring, shame

[LukeB]

The Lion King (1994) - 10/10

[Jason.]

The Shallows (2016) - 7.5/10

I watched this for the first time last night after hearing some very good things about it, plus it's one of the more well-known horror releases of the last year (though it's more of a survival/thriller film). But I enjoyed it either way.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Kiss The Girls (1995)
6/10 > good first 30 minutes then goes meh in the middle the last 20 minutes & twist were good

Gulliver's Travels (2010)
6/10 > it was alright I suppose

Evolution (2001)
6/10 > amusing Sci-Fi comedy

The ABC'S Of Death 2 (2014)
4/10 > slightly better than the first which I gave 3/10, but still trash

Chiller (1985)
2/10 > Wes Craven's worst to date that I've seen

Stranded (2013)
2/10 > when Christian Slater uses a book light as a communication device you know you are in for a **** film LOL

[Smithy]

The Room - It was really good. Everyone in the room was holding the breath when he stood up in the back of the truck, it kinda dragged a bit afterwards though

[LucyPinder'sLover]

Trainspotting 2 In The Cinema It Was A Very Good Film Really Recommend It.

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Roommate (2011)
9/10 > great thriller about having psychotic roommate & turns more obsessed & psychotic as the film goes on

Howl (2015)
8/10 > very good werewolf film with a group of people on a broken down train trying to survive werewolf's that are stalking them outside the train, liked how they killed off characters that you would think would survive I was surprised about a couple of deaths

The Vanishing On 7TH Street (2011)
7/10 > I wanted there to be more survivors, not just a handful, also characters made stupid decisions

The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It (2007)
7/10 > good horror themed kids film & we have to have a mean girl cliche yawn

One For The Money (2012)
6/10 > amusing comedy & I liked it for some reason

Dead Girls (2014)
3/10 > another lame horror anthology

- Special effects were neat I guess?

Overall... it's hard to score this anything above a 4. I'd give it a 3.

Margot Robbie's a funny one for me. I thought she went from one extreme to the other.

The early parts of the film I thought she was bloody awful, like wooden as **** and unable to even move without making me cringe.

Then by the third act of the movie she was actually not so terrible and even quite good.

New Edition the movie

:wors hip:: worship::worsh ip:

Big mistake making this just a tv movie. Absolutely brilliant. Up there if not better than Straight outta compton. NEW EDITION I love you even more now. 13/10

[Shaun]

Just watched Hidden Figures. I had this down as a bit of an award-fisher film... ie. not that brilliant but of the right political sensibility. But it really wowed me... might be my favourite of the (admittedly) few I've seen so far up for the top prizes.

Only faults I found with it were petty ones: I didn't think Pharrell curated a particularly good soundtrack and it came across as a vanity project for a man who hasn't released anything good in over five years (I enjoyed the classic songs a heck of a lot more). And also... please don't make me watch anything with Jim Parsons in it. At least now I can add "reminds me of a racist" to my list of reasons why I loathe The Big Bang Theory.

But the positives were endless... Janelle and Taraji in particular were brilliant (I liked Octavia too, but felt her character and screentime was a little undercooked... no biggie though). The scenes with Katherine's proposal at dinner, Mary's speech to try and get into West Virginia, Katherine putting her girls to bed had me a bit emotional. The depiction of Glenn's orbit was tense (also Glen Powell is a bit...). Kirsten Dunst played the ignorance and stubbornness brilliantly too, I felt, and of course Kevin Costner and Mahershala Ali's characters were lovely in their own ways.

I'd give the film a fairly solid 9... I haven't seen many of its contenders but it's definitely a great film. Good mix of humour, drama, suspense and pathos.

I'm guessing you mean Room because 'The Room' is a very different film indeed

Youtube video

[Josy]

T2 - Loved it, although I've seen a lot of people saying it was amazing, as good as the first etc, I don't want to be a killjoy but I still think the first film was amazing, this 2nd one was really good yes but not on par with the first imho and I also much prefer the first soundtrack.

Spoiler:

The part at the end when Renton starts playing the remix of iggy pop and dances is a great addition though

[Benzient-XXVII]

All Hallows Eve (2013)
8/10 > Art the clown was creepy & I liked how the stories were woven together, disturbing

All Hallows Eve 2 (2015)
6/10 > disappointing sequel because Art the clown wasn't in it, which is what made the first so creepy

Life After Beth (2014)
5/10 > it felt it moved on from one scene to the next with no flow whatsoever, it was amusing but the film is a disjointed mess

Honeymoon (2014)
4/10 > boring & overrated

Project X (2012)
3/10 > basically a film about partying & getting drunk & laid, how dull ZZZZZ

Jack’O Lantern (2004)
3/10 > carve a Jack'O Lantern instead of watching this

Jackie

Didn't realise John Hurt was in it, for him to be so contemplative of death in it, as he is, came as a bit of a sad surprise. Portman's portrayal was brilliant and probably deserving of the Oscar but then I haven't seen any of the other 4 contenders yet (I don't think). It did feel like more of a made-for-TV film, though... I'm not sure, just felt very cozy and not particularly bold. I'd only give it a 7/10 really.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Home Sweet Hell (2015)
9/10 > Katherine Heigl is a psycho path obsessed of being perfect mum, I thought it was great

The Sitter (2012)
8/10 > funny throughout

Tears Of The Sun (2003)
7/10 > quite good didn't think I would like it

Werewolf: The Beast Among Us (2012)
7/10 > not the best werewolf film out there but it was gory & entertaining

I Saw What You Did (1988)
4/10 > your standard average TV starring a young Shawnee Smith from the Saw fame

Alone In The Dark 2 (2008)
2/10 > I thought the first was awful but some how the sequel stole the crapness plaque and ran with it
