What was the last film you watched?

[Vanessa]

High Rise. Loved this, it was weird and wonderful. With some great performances. I especially like the actor who played the doctor. So sexy and smoldering :douf::flutter:

[Niamh.]

Vanessa you should join our Classic movie club, you like your movies :love: we're doing Good Will Hunting atm

[rubymoo]

Breakdown - Starring Kirk Russell - a good old fashioned thriller.
A husband and wife are relocating and their car breaks down, a lorry driver pulls up behind them and offers the wife a lift to the nearest diner to call for a tow truck, however when hubby fixes the car by himself, he goes to the diner and his wife is nowhere to be seen and no-one has seen her......good cat and mouse thriller. 9/10

[Vanessa]

Vanessa you should join our Classic movie club, you like your movies :love: we're doing Good Will Hunting atm

Matt Damon :flutter:

[Niamh.]

Concussion - Really enjoyable, love Will Smith (eventhough his accent in it did sound a little bit like Floki from Vikings every now and again) 7.5/10

[RichardG]

The Legend of Barney Thomson and Let Me In, both super duper would recommend

[RichardG]

We Are Monster - 0/10 painfully boring just some guy talking racist stuff to himself non stop for a whole hour and a half, sooooooooo miserable

[Niamh.]

Pump up the Volume (rewatch) - awww so much nostalgia attached to this film, I watched it with my daughter who's almost 16, she really enjoyed it too. There's some good messages in there for teenagers 7.5/10

"Into The Wild"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758758/

A very thought provoking film, especially for anyone who has their misgivings about modern society and ever has the desire to just leave it all behind.

- 1 because it's based on a true story and there are a couple of elements that were obviously added just to add some drama that I don't feel were entirely necessary.

- 0.5 because the protagonist is slightly irritating. I think he's supposed to be pretentious and a little bit self-involved, that's a large part of the point in the end, however in the first half of the film he edges a little to vlose to whininess.

- 1 because Kristen Stewart has a minor role in it and Kristen Stewart is awful

+ 1 because I changed my mind... she's not in it for long and in the 10 minutes or so she's around, she shows more emotional range than in the entirity of the Twilight series.


Other than that a really solid watch, well written, well shot and well acted. 8.5/10

Bad words - Well where do i start......not for me 3/10

Pixels - They could have done so much better and more with this film......a disappointing 6/10

[Calderyon]

Deadpool - Just awesome. 4.85/5

Matt Damon :flutter:

Eddie Vedder did the sound track for it :flutter:


Rewatch - Se7en - Love this movie, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey are fantastic in it, Brad Pitt isn't great in it but over all brilliant story and ending 9/10

Point Break (remake) - Ugh why did they touch such a good film, it didn't need to be remade and it was horrendous not a patch on the original 2/10

Wat's in the baaaaaaaxxx :(

[RichardG]

I watched Buried last night

and omg the ending :bawling: I totally knew it was coming when the guy said he couldn't hear the people outside who thought they'd found him/was digging him up but it was still awful :bawling: usually I really want big films to have "unhappy" endings like this rather than the predictable happy ones they usually give us but in this specific one I reeeeaallly wanted him to be saved just because the thought of dying like that is awful :bawling:

:bawling:





:bawling:

[Shaun]

Se7en is probably Brad Pitt's best performance :laugh: bad Niamh :nono:

[rubymoo]

Skeleton Twins - Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader star as twins from a dysfunctional family, this is an indie/drama film and both leads were fab in their roles 8/10

Loved Starships Nothings gonna stop us now lipsync :) Hader is particularly brilliant playing the part of a gay man (Milo) who meets up with his sister after a suicide attempt, but you soon realise that Wiig (Maggie) is living a very sad/unsatisfying life that leaves her suicidal too.

[Marsh.]

Deadpool - Had to switch it off. Like a bad sitcom script with a high special effects budget.

Gone Girl - Worth a watch but with an awful second half.

[Marsh.]

Wat's in the baaaaaaaxxx :(

If only the contents of that box really did spare us of Gwyneth fecking Paltrow :idc:

[user104658]

[rubymoo]

Deadpool - Had to switch it off. Like a bad sitcom script with a high special effects budget.

Gone Girl - Worth a watch but with an awful second half.

I wasn't overly impressed with Deadpool either, i think it was over hyped. I'm going to watch Gone Girl but i've heard quite a few bad reviews even though it got 80 something % on rotten tomatoes.

[Niamh.]

Wat's in the baaaaaaaxxx :(

Yeah, that's what I mean, the way he delivered his lines sounded very amateurish or something

Se7en is probably Brad Pitt's best performance :laugh: bad Niamh :nono:

I would say one of his worst

And miss out on movie classics like "Sliding doors" (2x the Paltrow 1/2 the fun) and Tony Starks annoying wife in Iron Man?

I really liked Sliding Doors :hehe:

[Calderyon]

Olympus has Fallen (2013) - Liked it. Better than the other one made in the same year. Butler is badass. And it´s good to see Patrick Jane in a big part. 4/5

[Vanessa]

Going the distance. I really like Drew Barrymore and Justin Long

[user104658]

Yeah, that's what I mean, the way he delivered his lines sounded very amateurish or something

He over-acts throughout... but then, he does in quite a few films. It's fine for some things, but doesn't really work in something as dark as Seven.

[Marsh.]

Funnily enough, I liked Sliding Doors too. But more for the plot than her. :hehe:

She's so irritating in everything else though.

Just like George Clooney, he's the epitome of "movie star" rather than actual actor. They both have very limited talent in the acting department. They just got lucky.

[Marsh.]

Gone Girl had loads of potential, even though it's a pretty ludicrous plot, but they clearly struggled knowing how to wrap it all up.

[Niamh.]

He over-acts throughout... but then, he does in quite a few films. It's fine for some things, but doesn't really work in something as dark as Seven.

Yeah, the things I really liked him in called for a bit of over acting like Fight Club, Inglorious Bastards and my personal favourite moment of his.limited as it was True Romance

Funnily enough, I liked Sliding Doors too. But more for the plot than her. :hehe:

She's so irritating in everything else though.

Oh yeah the plot I mean too just because it's something I always used to think about, if I'd done something slightly different in a day would it change the course of my life :think:

[Vanessa]

I'm going to see the Jungle Book tonight. So Excited :dance:

[Niamh.]

oh that looks really good Vanessa

[Vanessa]

Yes and there's a great cast voicing the characters. Love Bill Murray :hee:

[Mystic Mock]

A couple of days ago I watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

I've got to say that I really enjoyed the plot, and some of the character dynamics were fun, and of course the iconic Music from the Video Games were cool.

The negatives however was dodgy dubbing, and Tifa being irritating for the first quarter of the Film I'll say.

[Vanessa]

The Jungle Book. It was really good. Visually is a real treat, so better watch it on 3d. Voice cast did an amazing job and I also liked the newcomer who played Mogli. Some twats next to me almost spoiled it by constantly sniggering at everything :fist:, but overall I had a great time :hee:

I hate it when you get rude twats either in front or next to you at the cinema:fist:

Watched Stir Crazy last night - A great 80's movie, but then again i like Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor :love: (i would actually put this down as a classic) :hee:

8/10

I watched it with subtitles as soon as it was released in Japan... then re-watched the English dub when it came out.

Wish I'd just stuck with the Japanese version :joker:

[rubymoo]

I normally always watch the Japanese versions too, but the link that I went with had it as a dub so I just stuck with it.

[rubymoo]

John Wick - A film you can watch without much thought, just have a bottle and popcorn and you'll be well away! 7/10

[Josy]

Watched that Netflix movie Hush - 9/10 - was really surprised at how good it was and it took a slightly different route from your standard horror/thriller type movies.

[Will.]

:clap1:

[rubymoo]

The Theory of Everything - An astonishing, touching, thoughtful portrait of the amazing Stephen Hawking, this film is inspirational yet sad, a horrible disease that has taken his body yet left his brilliant mind - Eddie Redmayne is brilliant and deserved the Oscar and many awards he won for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.

10/10

[Denver]

Alvin Chipmunks new one pretty much a let down

[rubymoo]

The Usual Suspects - A confusing 5/10 (I've left a review in the Tibb classic movies thread).

American Sniper 10/10

Absolutely brilliant, this film captures the horror of war and the effects of post traumatic stress, heart breaking throughout and heart breaking ending :(

[Vanessa]

Quo Vado, an Italian comedy. Had me laughing out loud all the way through :laugh:

[Sticks]

Eye in the Sky 9/10

Alan Rickman's last film, and they did a touching memorial to him on the final credits.

Brilliant how they showed the moral cowardice of politicians always wanting someone else to make a decision and tying the hands of those they send into a war theatre.

Also the only film I have seen that references the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme

[rubymoo]

Mad Max Fury Road - i really enjoyed this film, the scenery is stunning, the action is full on 8.5/10

I laughed everytime i saw the crazy guy strapped to the front of a truck madly playing the guitar :joker:

[Jamie89]

Fury Road :clap1: I saw that at the cinema and it blew me away. Need to watch it again

[rubymoo]

Fury Road :clap1: I saw that at the cinema and it blew me away. Need to watch it again

I can imagine on a big screen the colours and imagery would've looked amazing, i love post apocalyptic films anyway and will definitely watch again:hee:

I'm hoping to watch The Rocky Horror picture show within the next week with my daughter, just checked out the casting and it has Meatloaf in it......i love Meatloaf!

[Mokka]

[BigSister]

Struck in love. Better than I expected and I liked how they split all the different stories up. 7 out of 10

[rubymoo]

Oh yes, I use for the Meatloaf myself :fan: (he is my weird celebrity crush)

:laugh:

I can't wait to watch it, it will probably be our Sunday afternoon film:hee:

[Mokka]

Just rewatched Green Card with Gerard Depardieu and Andie MacDowell... cheesy cheesy love story from the 90's ... but I have always loved it :love: It has horrible reviews online... but it did win a golden globe for best motion picture comedy... and Gerard won one for best actor

8/10 from me

[nonstop]

Sisters, starring Tina Fey and Amy someone.

The "Hey-1" scenes in the nail salon had me in stitches!

[rubymoo]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Sorry Jamie i didn't like this film, i have a feeling i may have got on with this film had i watched it years ago, and i'm sure that when it came out it had a huge impact, my best bit was Meatloaf but then i love Meatloaf! 4/10

Fury Great film, but Saving Private Ryan did it better! I liked the characters they all had great development, Brad Pitt is gorgeous, and the scenes looked authentic, as with all war films it's very sad, and i always wish (as i do when i watch a world war 2 film) that someone had taken Hitler out before he started the war. 8/10

It's a very bizarre film so it's a hard one to recommend lol, but I think I love it for all it's strangeness (and the Sweet Transvestite song :laugh:). Yeah I think it had a much bigger impact when it came out than they thought it would, I read that apparently Tim Curry refused to talk about it for years because it's all anyone wanted to ask him about and he didn't want to be typecast as that character (which is understandable lol!)

[Braden]

But The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a classic, rubymoo :(

Now that's interesting about Tim Curry, and i can understand too, he did look fab in that underwear and high heels:laugh:! To me he's the guy from Home Alone 2, i'm amazed actually that it appears i haven't seen that many films, yet i'd have considered myself a film buff!

Can't wait for our next classic film choice :hee:

[Braden]

Awww sorry Braden it was just a little too weird for me :laugh: now Little Shop of Horrors is a great film!

I haven't actually watched that. Heard things about but don't really even know the plot :p

You'll have to watch it Braden, see what you think. It has Steven Martin in it and Rick Moranis, i watched it when i were a teen and have loved it ever since, just watched it a few months ago with my daughter (who's 14) and she liked it too!

Was it also a Broadway show?

[rubymoo]

It was Braden, and i'm sure that you'll love it (well i hope you do:tongue:)

[Jamie89]

I agree about Little Shop of Horrors, I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago and loved it!

[rubymoo]

Maggie - This film is a post apocalyptic film, a deadly disease is sweeping the country turning people into zombies if they're bitten, the disease takes 6 - 8 weeks to "turn" the victim and could therefore be seen that the person has a terminal illness. It's very different to other zombie movies and looks more at the father/daughter relationship, as she slowly turns - i thought this was a visually captivating film, and i thought Arnies acting was very good. 8/10

Be warned this is no World War Z and others may think the movie is slow, but i enjoyed it :hee:

[Marsh.]

The Boss.

Atrocious. Nothing new here. Nothing funny either.

I get that Melissa McCarthy is cashing in whilst she's in demand before she's yesterday's news but I wish she'd be a bit more selective. This movie was just sh*te.

[Marsh.]

London Has Fallen
Dirty Grandpa

Both decent, not great.

Do they not make good films anymore? :idc:

[LukeB]

Maleficent - 7/10

[Mokka]

Breakfast at Tiffany's... Always a solid 8.5/10

Funny Face... A bit of a disappointment as I don't think I have ever seen it before, and I just kept cringing at how cheesy the musical bits lyrics were, how unbelievable Fred Astaire was as a love interest for Audrey Hepburn... And how overly choreographed it was.
6/10 but only for having Audrey in it imo

[Niamh.]

Captain America - Civil War : all these movies seem to be blending into one now, you'd hardly know it was a captain America movie rather than an Avengers one. It was pretty good though, I love the knew Spiderman and Antman was best of the superheros for me 8/10

[user104658]

It was a bit too political to be an Avengers movie, those steer clear of that stuff whilst the Cap movies embrace it. That said, the only thing that makes it a "Captain America" movie more than an "Iron Man" movie is...

The fact that Captain America (more or less) "wins" in the end, and that's because they expect the audience to be more likely to side with the "don't sign" viewpoint than the "become government stooges" choice.

[LukeB]

Deadpool - 9/10

Amazing film, I love the comedy side to it, Wouldn't think it would work since it was a Marvel movie but it actually did.

[Calderyon]

Crank 1 and 2:

Both action masterpieces. Maybe 1 was somewhat better than 2. So 4.0/5 to 1st movie. 3.75/5 to the sequel.

[Calderyon]

Dark Knight Rising - Fine movie, but i liked The Dark Knight more. Bane as villain wasn´t that convincing. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman however was dope. Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne was stellar as always. Gary Oldman as Gordon is one of the best castings ever. 3.65/5

[Shaun]

Watched a lot recently without the distraction of the internet at home.

Zoolander 2 - just awful. It made me appreciate anchorman 2 a hell of a lot more because whilst that was still a bit stretched and trying desperately to rehash the same jokes, at least it had some jokes. This movie was just a cameo circle jerk and absolutely none of them pay off. The one LOL moment for me was by a cameo that doesn't even appear: Malala. But it's just a horrible horrible mistake and a chore to watch. A 2/10 just for malala and just for Kiefer Sutherland's residual "why the hell did I sign up for this?" attitude.

Foxcatcher - super creepy, incredibly bleak and depressing in its tone and fantastically acted. I'd give it an 8 out of 10 just because the latter half dragged a bit and the dissolution between DuPont and (was it Mark?) seemed a little thin and sudden. I didn't know about the true events it depicts but Steve Carell sold the isolated, spoilt loner perfectly and I couldn't help but pick up on the homoeroticism :p

The Martian - best movie I've seen in a long long time. I loved Moon, and loved Gravity, and this is the perfect middle ground between those. It's great popcorn entertainment but also super personal and fulfilling. The ending mission is one of the most gripping things I've seen in film in my life, and I actually shed a tear over his crew's decision to go back and try to save him. Brilliant movie and I'd never really been a fan of Damon. 10/10

I did watch another but I've forgotten it...

[Shaun]

Ah it was Ant-Man. Really enjoyed that which is odd since I've completely gone off marvel movies because of their tedious wisecracking ass hole characters / Robert Downey Jr in general. Paul Rudd is actually a comedian though and it just works, plus Michael Douglas is a great mentor and has done some great movies recently (loved him in Behind the Candelabra). I'd give it an 8.

[Ammi]

..Chappie...the worst thing about this movie is Hugh Jackman's hairstyle..the best thing about it is obviously Chappie...:lovedup:...I loved it../..I loved Chappie..even the gang with his 'mom' and 'dad' were endearing and the final scenes were very gripping...(I love the whole idea that our consciousness would be put into robot bodies when we die...)...I somehow drew comparisons with this movie and Beasts of No Nation and Chappie being the innocent child...

...anyways, a perfect blend or adorability, feel good, moral story and action so a very enjoyable 8/10...:love:...

[Calderyon]

Creed - Great movie. Shows Stallone/Balboa in a different kind of role, which he did well. It also proved that Stallone can actually act, when he wants to. 4.15/5

[Ammi]

..oh snap, Cald...

..Creed...very much in the same vein as all other Rocky movies so nothing not to love, really...I loved Sly Stallone in the 'Mickey' type role as the trainer and mentor and Michael B Jordan was perfectly cast as Apollo's son, Adonis Johnson...Tessa Thompson is also beautiful and delightful as Bianca..:lovedup:...a great re-vitalisation of the Rocky series of movies...8/10...

[Ammi]

..Miracles From Heaven...I'm not sure that this would have been so much my type of movie, had it not been a true story but it's quite an astonishing story which is what makes it so great and such a feel good film...a 10yr old girl has an incurable rare digestive illness, her prognosis is hopeless and she lives each moment of her days in extreme pain...then just as she's giving up on life and finding the thought of death, something she is hoping will happen soon...a freak accident that should have killed her, causes her illness to completely be cured...with no medical explanation at all and she insists that through her accident, she 'spoke to God'...so a 'miracle'...?...

...a stunning performance from Jennifer Garner, who pretty much carries the movie with her performance as Anna's mother and just very, very delightful and uplifting..also a nice touch at the end to show the real Anna and her family...8/10....

[Niamh.]

I love Paul Rudd, he's one of the most likeable actors around atm I think.

[Calderyon]

Mad Max: Fury Road - Pretty awesome, considering i was afraid they´d ruin this somehow. Great action all around, fairly good acting, fine enough story. Recommended. 4.05/5

[Northern Monkey]

Olympus has fallen.Epic.

[Niamh.]

Batman V's Superman - It was only ok, doesn't compare to the Marvel films imo, I think the biggest thing lacking for me over any of the Marvel super hero movies is humour 5/10

[arista]

Deadpool - 9/10

Amazing film, I love the comedy side to it, Wouldn't think it would work since it was a Marvel movie but it actually did.


Yes I have ordered that on a 4K HD disc

[Ammi]

..Race (2016)...hmmmm, I'm not sure how to rate this one because I feel as though it stepped back quite a bit from being as powerful as it could have been...the scenes with Jesse Owens competing and his magnificence as an athlete were just too short, I felt...and the rise of Nazism in Germany didn't really hit the sinister mark enough...but then, as was said many times through the movie..did it at the time really feel that far removed from racism in the USA...

..one of the most powerful of scenes being when even after Jesse's Olympic achievements and at a dinner held in his honour at the Waldorf Hotel, policy meant that he must use the service entrance...


..a great cast, especially obviously Stephan James as Jessie...and Jason Sudeikis is very endearing as his coach also..anyways, although the storyline seemed to race along a little too quickly for me, it was still thoroughly absorbing so maybe around a 7-8/10-ish....

[MB.]

I'd give The Nice Guys a solid 8.2

[Xtopher]

Conjuring 2

8/10

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Silver linings playbook. J Law and Bradley Cooper. 2 of the most overrated people of all time. They bore me to tears. Can't believe she won an Oscar for this.

[Adamw92]

The Conjuring 2.


Really good. It had quite a few moments that had me jumping and was honestly one of the better horror films I've seen in recent years.

I loved that film as well, it got awful reviews though :fist:

X Men Apocalypse : Enjoyable bit of action 7/10

Insidious 3 : Scared the bejesus out of me anyway :laugh: plenty of jumps 7.5/10

[Vanessa]

The Conjuring 2. Scared the crap out of me. And to think this is based on a true story D:

Legends of the fall again :blush2: 12/10

[Niamh.]

Beaches - Was my first time watching it, really enjoyed although it kind of brought up some sad memories for me 8.5/10

The Huntsman : Winters war - It was an enjoyable fairytale type film, does what it says on the tin and Chris Hemsworth is in it mmmm 7/10

Extinction - It was alright, nothing amazing but watchable 6/10

400 Days - aaarrrgghhhh this film annoyed me so much 2/10

400 Days spoilers***
Films like this piss me off so much, it was kind of boring and had all this weird s**t happening and I literally only kept watching to find out what was going on and of course the film just ends so they never even had to give any sort of explanation. It's such a cop out, it means that they can basically throw any kind of s**t in there knowing they'll never have to come up with any decent explanation for it

ETA : It's not that I'm totally against endings that leave you decide some things yourself, like Inception for example, it worked and it felt like that was exactly what the writes had planned from the very beginning. 400 Days just feels like the writer decided that by having a non ending he could throw in a whole range of stupid s**t he'd never have to resolve. like with Inception you're only really left wondering was he still dreaming and that works in that film. This film leaves you with mountains of questions like
Is the earth really gone? If so why is it populated only by the reporters who were there at their "launch" and that girl from the girly mag? So it probably isn't real? So if it's not real is it a hoax and an elaborate set? and if so did they just allow the Crew murder two of their "Actors" or is it all in their heads and part of the experiment? And if so what exactly was this experiment trying to prove? If they were pumped full of hallucinogenics how is that similar to a normal astronauts experience in space?

...awww jeez, I know..:hug:..:hug:..:hug:..it's a long time since I watched it and felt everything that I think you did as well..and at the time..(because you feel things so deeply through teenage years and people who understand you are so important../everything to you..)...she really did feel like the wind beneath my wings...

Independence Day: Resurgence

I'm so torn on my thoughts, it had some great visuals but it felt really cheesy and clunky.

[Niamh.]

Independence Day: Resurgence

I'm so torn on my thoughts, it had some great visuals but it felt really cheesy and clunky.

Saw this last night too ^^

Independence Day: Resurgence - meh it was more or less just a complete copy of the original minus Will Smith who was obviously the best thing about the original. It was mindless viewing but it was good in 3D visually 6/10

Straight Outta Compton - Not a massive fan of rap music but I'd heard of alot of the characters in this so was good to see how they started out and also obviously i remember the Rodney king story and the riots etc so seeing that piece of history linked in with it too was good 7.5/10

[Jake.]

I was feeling watching a bit of Disney so I watched Pinocchio first. Forgot how great the film is, the donkey stuff still freaks me out but it's still a good lesson to follow. Never seen Fox & The Hound so decided to watch that too, lovely film

[Natalie.]

Zootopia 9/10
Great message, fun and cute film for everyone

[Mystic Mock]

I tried watching a bit of The Great American Snuff Film last night (I'm not even sure if it's legal to watch it on Youtube) but I couldn't sit through it as it was too discomforting for me.

It seemed well made to me though so I'll give it a 5 despite the discomfort.

[Niamh.]

Dirty Grandpa - It got awful reviews but I thought it was funny 7/10

The Gift - it was pretty stupid 5/10

[Jake.]

oh & today I watched 101 Dalmatians (10/10, a childhood classic), and then Bambi (which I hadn't seen before, I'd probably give it a 7)

[Adamw92]

Ghostbusters (2016) - 7.5/10

Solid film and a lot better than I had hoped it could be, of course I went in being more open minded than a lot of people who will go see it will be. I can't say the original was better or this was because I haven't watched the original in years but as a stand alone film, it was a lot funnier than I expected and i would definitely watch it again.

[BigSister]

Went to see the secret life of pets at the weekend and really enjoyed it. I know its a kids film but I like kids film ^_^. I would give it 8 out of 10

[Braden]

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie: As someone who also loves the TV series, this film was quite enjoyable and somewhat lived up to expectations. The start-studded cast works well without it being obnoxious and using their names for the sake of it (the airplain scene with Rebel WIlson was especially funny (Rylan barely spoke too. Thank god tbh)), and it was great to see the usual likes of Bubbles, Saffy, Edina's Mum, Emma Bunton & Lulu. There were lots of little quirks that work well since the film's plot is far from complex.

Edina and Patsy are legends. If you enjoy the TV series, you'll enjoy the film. The actress who plays Saffy's daughter Jane/Lola fits in perfectly.

[VanessaFeltz.]

Kill Bill 2

[Adamw92]

The Fundamentals of Caring - 8/10

[Vanessa]

The First Star Trek movie. I love it :hee:

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Chico and Rita 10/10 absolutely

[Vanessa]

Independence Day Resurgence. It was brilliant. Love Jeff Goldblum :lovedup:

[Niamh.]

The Conjuring 2. Scared the crap out of me. And to think this is based on a true story D:

Very loosely. The Enfield hunting is supposed to have been real (although the two girls were caught bending spoons and making things up so yeah mmhmm) but the married couple in the story apparently had little to nothing to do with this case so in effect most of the Conjuring 2 is in fact not based on much truth at all. Also, that couple (who are widely viewed as con artists, even within their circle) other "claim to fame" (and was also shown at the start of the Conjuring 2 was The Amytville haunting which has been proven to be faked

[Liam-]

Rush Hour 3 and it is still glorious to this day, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan are one of my favourite movie pairings of all time.

[MB.]

The new Ghostbusters, partly out of curiosity and partly out of spite for everything leading up to its release

For what it was, it was a good'un, and I'd give it a big girly 7

[Niamh.]

Star Trek Beyond - Not quite as good as the last one but very enjoyable 8/10

[MB.]

I'm working my way through the highly-regarded classics, by which I mean that I last watched Zootopia, and in all honesty the Godfather bit is one of the funniest things I've seen in a kids' film for a while

I promise I'm not on LSD

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Buried with Ryan Reynolds has possibly one of the worst death endings i've ever seen. I started watching late so can't give it a fair rating.

[Ammi]

..Date Night..because it was on TV..it was silly but quite enjoyable silly because Steve Carell and Tina Fey are so adorable as actors and adorable together..:love:...7/10...

[Amy Jade]

Ghostbusters - I Really enjoyed it, I had low expectations after how much it was being dragged but for me it really worked and the female leads were all great. It did feel a bit Scooby Doo to be fair and some things sort of lead to nothing (the first scene for example) but those are little niggles.

I will give it a 7

[Adamw92]

Did a double film day at the cinema today:

Suicide Squad - 8/10
I'm not sure where all the negative reviews are coming from. Was it perfect? No. I wasn't expecting it to be as enjoyable as it was and the more I think on it, the more I realise how much I enjoyed it. I had a good few laughs at it. Margot Robbie was perfect in it too, completely stole the show.

Finding Dory - 8.5/10
Loved it. I think Finding Nemo is a better film overall but as far as sequels go, this one was definitely a step up from the likes of Cars 2 and Monsters University. I think it had a great balance between comedic scenes and the emotional scenes and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The BFG

frGSzFj10p4

I saw it at the Tyneside Cinema and give it a 9/10

It loses a point for some possible plot holes, which may or may not be fair and what seems to be an inconsistency


Sophie lives in an orphanage at the start of the film. In 1975 when this was a short story and 1982 when the book came out, those institutions in the UK may have been around, but in 2016, when the film was released, as far as I am aware, the only place were children are kept in institutions are secure training centres where children are sent to by the courts. Today orphans are usually placed with the wider family or if that is not available, in foster care rather than an orphanage. (Let me know if orphanages still exist in the UK, especially London where the film seems to start off)

This could be unfair, given when the book was published, and as stated, practices have changed, but he director does not establish that the film events take place in 1975 or the 1980's so the assumption is that it takes place in 2016.

Sophie says she was orphaned as a baby, so why if this takes place today, is she in an orphanage? A few years ago there was an initiative to give financial incentives to councils who placed children up for adoption, which led to allegations of legal baby snatching by social service departments, as babies were easier to place. According to the summary of the book, it states Sophie is young. If that is so, she was an orphaned baby when this policy was in full force, so she would not have been in an institution, she would have been adopted out.

The bad giants seem to shrink when they get picked up by the helicopters near the end, indicating that scales seem to change, which is inconsistent. If you know the helicopter they use, you will spot that one

Mean Girls - it was raining, we were in our caravan and had nothing else to do, so we ate chocolate, crisps and sweets whilst watching my daughters favourite film. (Have to admit this film is a guilty pleasure:hee:)

9/10

[James]

The FT gave the 3-D a good review

James did you see it in 3-D?

No, 2D. I could see though how a lot of the swooping shots around the space city were done for 3D.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

I can't even at cruel intentions 2. 😩 3/10 and I'm only being generous because it has Robin Dunne who was literally in every teen drama I loved.

[Niamh.]

Yeah they should have left it alone with the first. It really didn't need a sequel

[Tom4784]

Hush
I thought it was excellent. It's about a deaf woman who is attacked by a murderous home invader. The way they utilised the deafness of the main character was great and it was a highly tense film throughout. I loved how little dialogue there was, it really helped ramp up the tension. Only bad thing about it is that, aside from the deaf angle, it's a bit typical in places but still an excellent horror film.

8/10

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny
It's a competent martial arts film but a poor follow up to CTHD. It doesn't have the heart that the first film had and the plot is both weak and full of holes. I didn't mind it for what it was but I was very disappointed when I think of how good the original was.

5/10

It gets bonus points for the ending, was totally not expecting that

[rubymoo]

The Martian - Loved it, loved it, loved it! 10/10

[Ammi]

..Sixteen...hmmm, this didn't get a good review at all but I found it totally absorbing...it's a low budget British movie and very raw and very real in a 16yr old ex-child soldier in Africa relating and associating his past to urban 'streets of London'...an 8/10, I think....no frills/no fancies, just good performances and 'real people'...


..Burnt...another great performance by Bradley Cooper in his damaged character...I probably didn't fully enjoy it because I was distracted when watching it but still a 7/10 an I might re-watch sometime...

[Jamie89]

The Martian - Loved it, loved it, loved it! 10/10

I loved that one too :flutter: Matt Damon :flutter:

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

The Purge. Good film although stupid plot. 7/10

[Braden]

Just came back from the cinema after watching Finding Dory. It was really cute but it just made me realise how much older I've got :p Finding Nemo was such a big deal when I was a kid, it was weird to see quite an empty theatre considering how successful the franchise is.

The film itself had a really nice plot. It came full-circle quite well like any Pixar/Disney film would. Not as good as Finding Nemo but still a lovely sequel.

7/10

[rubymoo]

The New Star Wars Film (sorry that's what i know it as!) - Brilliant film, i really enjoyed it, for me it was the best one of the lot, loved the new little droid BB8, also the characters Po, Finn and Ray were a joy to watch. I'm not usually a fan of Star Wars (but hubby made me watch it as apparently i make him watch my crap:/)

9/10 (i'm defo watching it again:thumbs:)

Chef (2014) - I really liked it, but made me hungry so 4/5

[DaNasty]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/98/Lara_Croft_film.jpg

Obviously, I watched this on DVD and it's just as good as how I remember when I watched it many years ago. The graphics and special effects are surprisingly good for a film made in the early noughties. Angelina Jolie is and always will be one of the most beautiful women <3

[Jessica.]

Me Before You, I went to the cinema with loads of people so I was hoping I wouldn't cry. :joker: There were actually lots of funny parts so by the end it hadn't really built up enough for me to cry. Success!

Due to the condition of the acting I can't give it more than 6/10 though.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Jason Bourne - It was alright, i really liked his first 3 but I think it's a bit jaded now tbh

I don't like how they killed off Nicky either just to trade her in for a younger model :nono:

6/10

[Babayaro.]

Chernobyl Diaries - 6/10

I had been wanting to see this ever since it came out. The idea behind is original and is probably enough to get anyone to watch it. However, it was poorly executed and had so much potential to be a classic. The only good things about it was the creepy setting and atmosphere, and I suppose the tour guide was ok, but in typical fashion he was the first to be killed off lol. The fact that the mutants/nuclear victims were never properly shown seemed pretty stupid, and the ending was ridiculous too.

Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek) being in it was also a positive

[DaNasty]

Superman (1978)

http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads/movie/movie_poster/superman-1978/large_rLTdj7oB9oxsYwuweeglWRzRng7.jpg

A bit cheesy I know but a true cult classic. What gets to me emotionally is that Christopher Reeve (1952-2004), who plays Superman passed away 12 years ago. A brilliant film, despite the dated sfx and flying scenes.

Cruel Intentions (1999) - 9/10

It was on TV last night and I hadn't seen it in about 10 years? Teen films aren't really my thing but when they're done well they're pretty fun to watch and this film was one of them. It was highly entertaining and made me laugh on several occasions. It also features a great (and quite nostalgic) 90s cast.

Sarah Michelle Gellar :lovedup:

Don't Breathe - 8/10

The idea behind this is great and completely original, the acting was good and the story moved along nicely, with enough scares to keep a horror fan satisfied. However, there were one too many plot twists for my liking, which kind of cheapened the film a bit. They should have stuck with the less is more approach for the ending like they did for the majority of the film. All in all a memorable movie that I would highly reccommend.

Eddie the Eagle. A great laugh and quite poignant in parts. And I'm a bit in love with Taron Egerton.

Snatch: First time watching this and it's probably my favourite film of all time. Everything about it was just perfect.. Can't believe it took me this long to see it. 10/10.

Pulp Fiction: First time watching this one too & it was also fantastic. I probably preferred Snatch, but just by a smidge. 9/10.

United 93. I don't recommend it. It just hurts too bad noticing all that courage in the plane knowing it led to nothing. Each second you watched you hope it's a film and they make it especially since the heroes managed to make it in the cockpit just before it crashed you hope they make it, but then you remember it's not some Steven Seagal film. It's just so damn sad, crying so hard. Their heroism is to be applauded.

....awwwww, CeeCee..:hug:..Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a post 9/11 movie that I would recommend../it's beautiful but also incredibly sad in places so I'm not sure how you would feel about it...(movies help us feel emotions..) and I do think that it's good to be just so damn sad sometimes, the same as it's good to be so damn happy sometimes as well../it's all needed..


..anyways, my movie watches...

...Straight Outta Compton...although I loosely knew some of the story of N.W.A. there was a lot I hadn't known and it was absorbing to see it all dramatized in a movie...great performances, I particularly loved Jason Mitchell who played Eazy-E and hadn't realised how he died...8/10..:love:..

I do think that's part of the issue with Civil War... the old guard are starting to feel sort of stale. Black Panther and Spider-man stole the show IMO (including the action scenes) even though they didn't have huge roles. Ant-Man was good too. I enjoyed Scarlet Witch / Vision's scenes, too. The "oldies" though (Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye) felt a bit like it was phoned in / tired.

[Niamh.]

The Big Short - I really didn't enjoy this movie at all, it was boring, filled with explanations of financial terms, they basically tried to stretch "guy figures out the housing market is about to crash and makes a fortune" into a whole film which for me didn't work, also the ending was awful 2/10

Beasts of no nation - Brilliant film, Idris is always amazing but the little boy stole the show. Was hard to watch at times 8.5/10

XOXO - 7/10

It's a Netflix original movie about about the rave scene in America and it talked place at a EDM festival.
The movie was cute but the story was corney, cliche and a bit Disney, it also didn't really seem to be going anywhere. Despite this it was still an interesting lil story and it wasn't boring to me.

Casino Royale (2006)
http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads/movie/movie_poster/casino-royale-2007/large_toEaueEfDxX57y4J5MRRA7qsy5K.jpg
I haven't seen this film for ages and it's even better than I remember. Daniel Craig definitely showed us a more darker side to James Bond's character. Mads Mikkelsen (the Hannibal actor) was stunning as Le Chiffre and the ending of the film was awesome. This has to be one of my favourite James Bond films. 9/10

Mulholland Drive - I always thought I'd seen this film before but I hadn't.

..it's not the sort of movie that I could say I enjoyed as such because of the content but such a powerful movie and incredible performances...I watched a low budget British movie a little while ago, called Sixteen and it's about an ex child soldier who comes to London to live with an aid worker/and how his instinct has become violence...in it's own right I might not have rated it so much but because of Beasts of No Nation, I found it really interesting and would recommend also...

Mulholland Drive - I always thought I'd seen this film before but I hadn't. I absolutely loved it, total mind melt of a film and I did look up lots of Mulholland drive explained videos etc afterwards but it's so clever and emotionally charged and dark and beautiful, one of my favourite films ever I have to say 9.5/10


..it's a totally absorbing movie but did you understand the ending../..I'm not sure I did completely...was it all just a dream/Betty didn't exist..?....

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Devil Knot- true story about 3 boys that spend 18 years in prison for a crime they supposedly didn't do because now they have been released. Only one over 18 was put on death row. 3 little boys, sweet souls, were bound, one was castrated and they were murdered in 1993. It was a small town so because those 3 boys stood out as being in a satanic cult they are made the scapegoat. A documentary was released in 1996 about this and it got them Hollywood support from Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, Eddie Veter. Since technology advantaged they did DNA testing in the late 90s and one of the murdered boys stepfather's hair was found at the scene. He's not been convicted though because of alibi but many people believe he did it including the boys who were jailed. A lot of what I've just said isn't in the movie itself but I've been reading on this all night. Sigh amongst this publicity seems people forgot who really matter- the murdered boys. I hope they see justice, one of the mums is still fighting for it.

Well basically, the start of the movie is when Camille(Rita) is about to be shot but gets away, that's an alternative to her actually being shot by the hitman that Diane(Betty) hired to kill her. Basically most of the movie is like a dream fantasy of how Diane would have liked her life to be, Camille loves her and depends on her rather than the reality of Diane loving and needing Camille, she's the successful actress rather than Camille, the director loves her her rather than Camille, the fake Camille only gets the part in the film over the more talented actress because the director is forced to pick her etc. The blue key in the dream/fantasy is just a dream version of the blue key in reality that is the sign from the hitman that the job is done and Camille is dead and once she uses that key in the dream, "Betty" disappears and she's snapped back to reality and is consumed with guilt and the reality of what she's done, her failures etc and she kills herself. The characters in her dream world all seem to be people she saw at that party that pushed her over the edge. The old couple were in the very beginning of the dream as well where there was that Jitterbug contest so maybe were the judges at that or possibly her parents

I did years ago but I can hardly remember it. You should try watching Mulholland Drive after reading the ending explanation, films like these are great because it's a totally different experience watching them the second time

http://media.2oceansvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/shallows.jpg


I actually felt no motivation to see this, I love shark movies but wasnt a fan of Blake Lively so I bypassed it until yesterday and honestly, hands down one of my favourite movies of the year - I really liked Blake and the whole movie was beautiful. It had so much suspense and although there is just one person at risk you end up caring about more than just her.

9/10

[Niamh.]

^ I thought the action parts of it were really good but I thought (especially the first 20mins) was like a 70's soft porn, ok well maybe not soft porn but like an episode of Baywatch :laugh: all the slow mo shots of her zipping and unzipping her top etc

it was about a punk rock band trapped inside a nightclub sort of thing in the middle of the woods with loads of neo-nazis trying to kill them

I watched Nightcrawler (2014) last night and it was pretty good and dark. Jake Gyllenhaal was very good.

"Nightcrawler is a 2014 American neo-noir crime thriller film written and directed by Dan Gilroy in his directorial debut. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a thief who starts shooting live footage of accidents and crimes in Los Angeles, selling the content to a local news channel as a stringer while secretly sabotaging both crime scenes and other news reporters. It also features Rene Russo, Riz Ahmed and Bill Paxton.

The film had its world premiere at the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] It was released theatrically by Open Road Films on October 31, 2014.[3] It received critical acclaim and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at the 87th Academy Awards."

..I did find it a bit hard to know what was dream and what was reality/so she did really have that meeting with the hitman to have her killed..hmmm, I wasn't sure about that...(him going to kill that person and it all going wrong and having to kill everyone was so funny..:laugh:...I think that I probably need to watch it again now that I've seen the ending, to get all the clues...

Blair Witch - 6/10

I was really looking forward to this, seeing as how good the original was, but overall, the hype slightly ruined it and it kind of fell flat. The first 30 minutes looked promising, what with new characters being introduced and knowing that instead of the usual shaky camera we always get, there would be modern equipment like drones for example. The use of a drone was totally original and would have added a lot to the film but it was barely put to any use. What made the original a classic was the minimum jump scares and that you had to imagine what was going on, but in this one the jump scares are way overused. Like, it's not even the fact that someone appears out of nowhere, it's the unnecessary loud noises, which actually became quite comical over time. The characters were ok I guess, but you never really cared about their fate. One character called Lane seemed interesting but was lazilly written had a lot of potential, only for it to go to waste, which pretty much sums up the whole movie tbh.

All in all it was a fairly enjoyable film to watch, but if you've seen the original and are expecting this to bring something new/different to the table then you might feel a little disappointed.

I wanted to see this ever since I saw the trailer the other week and a lot of people have been talking about it but I wasn't a fan of the original at all as I found it really boring so I was dubious at checking this one out but now you mentioned that I think I'll just wait and watch it online or something instead of wasting my money and going to see it at the cinema.

[Vanessa]

If you want a great horror then watch Don't breathe. It had my heart racing the whole time. Simple, but effective. :hee: Remakes usually fall flat. I can't remember a remake I liked, except maybe The Ring. That wasn't bad as a remake.

Welp not me making you not want to see it. I suppose you might be right though, what with cinema prices being pretty dear nowadays, it might be best to watch it at home if you're not overly keen to go and see it :laugh:

I went to see Don't Breathe on Wednesday and I loved it. It's probably the best horror film of the 10's tbh and I hate most modern horrors but I really enjoyed it. :laugh:

No it's helpful lol, I've been wanting to hear some opinions from people who've seen it and I wanted to know if someone who didn't like the original much like myself would enjoy this one. I've heard from a few people that it follows exactly the same format as the original with just new technology.

Is it more action packed?

And yeah cinema prices are a mess nowadays - they used to be like a fiver. :/

The ReZort (Generation Z)

http://www.garethllewellynsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/theReZort2-1.jpg


Basically this movie is set after a zombie apocalypse has been controlled and humanity has gone back to normal - One woman decides to buy an island and sets up a safari/theme park where people can pay to hunt zombies.

All goes wrong and the zombies are released and take out the guests and staff leaving a band of survivors to find their way off the island.

It's definately Jurassic World with zombies, even some of the casting and costumes were similar but I actually enjoyed it! the writer had some pretty good ideas and there were a hand full of characters who I cared about, especially Jessica De Gouw as Melanie. The action was good and plenty of gore.

7/10

Got around to seeing Spectre today.

Enjoyed it a lot and appreciated the Bond theme a lot more in context of the film... Waltz is always excellent and the sequences were almost all enjoyable. Only thing I'd criticise is the overuse of pointless steamy scenes but then it is Bond... didn't enjoy it as much as Skyfall so a 8/10 from me.

..The Martian...an amazing performance from Matt Damon..:love:...I'm really coming to like him a lot as an actor...the movie kept the tension right through and I could hardly breathe in the final scenes...

I started watching this with extremely low expectations having not been a fan of any of Rob Zombie's previous movies.

The premise is that a group of carnival workers are ambushed released into a huge trashed building and forced to play a game in which they are hunted down by killers for 12 hours - should they survive they are free.

What follows is a gore-fest, with skulls smashed in with bats, slit throats, chainsaw decapitations and people being gutted.

I found it quite fun, it's nothing ground breaking but I enjoyed a few characters but they had little depth. The gore is extreme and some overacting from the cast detracts but overall it was a fun concept and it's always great to see Meg Foster in a film.

6/10

..I watched a movie called Out of Order..I think it was one of those made for TV movies but actually really quite good, very dark in exploring the damage in people from childhood and how it destroys so many relationships../that trust gone forever...also really lovely to see Felicity Hoffman in a role when she was much younger and what a great actress she is and always was..I hadn't really seen her much before Desperate Housewives....7/10 I think..:love:...

A group of friends on their way to football game decide to stop off at a diner and ask for directions after getting lost. Not long after they realize one of the girls has lost her phone and after calling they find a kind stranger has found it and arrange pick up in a local town.

When night arrives the group find that all is not what it seems and the town is filled with insane killers all dressed as clowns and they stalk the friends one by one.

Ultimately this is a movie with a quite interesting premise but the acting is awful from all but maybe two and criminally its quite boring. The clown make up was great though.

After a failed attempt at suicide because her boyfriend dumps her a girl decides to take her mind off her mothers over baring worry by sneaking out with her friends and going to get drunk at an abandoned factory. They decide to play a game of knucklebones a local urban legend and they end up summoning a demon.

This is super low budget and the acting is pretty bad (failed Hollyoaks audition bad) but I felt it added to its charm. My favourite thing was the practical gore fx, which include an axe splitting a guys head in two, a girl giving birth to the demon and another woman being cut in half from groin to neck.

There is a pretty good twist and the demon himself is a wisecracking asshole which I found funny. Good fun if you look past the hit and miss acting and low budget.
