What was the last film you watched?

[Vanessa]

Life is Beautiful (1998) - So sad but hilarious, loved it. Cant believe this film went so un-noticed all these years - 5/5

It's an amazing movie and i love Benigni, he's hilarious :joker:

[Niamh.]

Paradise Lost - never heard of this case at the time or in the years after but it is truly fascinating/horrific. Strongly recommend this if anyone is having Making a Murderer withdrawals (Docu-film, there's 2 more as well) 8.5/10

A woman on her hen weekend gets bitten by a creature while swimming in a lake, the rest of the movie is her transformatin - think a female version of The Fly.

I tend to steer clear of these types of movies as gore I can deal with but wounds with puss dripping out of them makes me sick, this movie is all about that - the first time her bite ruptures it's pretty gross but watching her try and clean it and prod and poke the open sore had me heaving. Thankfully that stops pretty soon after when she has a breakdown and the insect takes over.

Watching the woman change personality was pretty dull and you can't really root for anyone because her fiancee is a cheat and her best friend is...not nice. Her other friend who tries to help is massively underused and I think the movie should have focused on her reaction after she found her friend feeding dead bodies to her 'babies' but the film is a mess really...These people all live in a giant apartment complex and at one point the land lord comes over to say other tenants are complaining about a smell...yet they haven't complained about the screaming of a woman changing into an insect? :laugh:

The ending is pretty good but the movies pretty shabby sadly.

3/10

[Crimson Dynamo]

I watched Lost in Translation again. Excellent film and Bill Murray and Scarlett J are mesmerising.

The last film I watched was:

Carry On Teacher (1959)
A funny edition of the Carry on film series. The cast gave out a good few laugh out loud moments. The best scene is when Mrs. Allcock's shorts rip. I love the suaveness of Leslie Phillips also (8/10)

Saw (2004) - 7.5/10

[Northern Monkey]

Eye in the sky.Yawn.Took an hour and eighteen minutes for them to drop one Hellfire on a house full of terrorists.
I mean they do that everyday.No need to take up the whole movie on one missile.Apache's go out with sixteen of them loaded up whenever they go out.
4/10

[Sticks]

You miss the point of the film, it was what happens when politicians decide to go to war, but won't trust the soldiers they send to fight and keep trying to interfere.

Paradise Lost 2 - Really intriguing case, I know the documentary is pretty biased but a good watch non the less

[Cal.]

Hocus Pocus - 10/10. Iconic film. The best :flutter:

[Babayaro.]

Blood Diamond - 10/10

No idea why it's took me so long to see this, and also have no idea why Leo didn't win an Oscar for it. One of the best films i've seen in a while tbh :clap1:

Leo put in so many great performances over the years, it's a shame he won the Oscar for the Revenant when tbh I thought it was one of his worst roles

[VanessaFeltz.]

Flipped (2010) <33

[Natalie.]

The Visit 7/10

Hush 7/10

[user104658]

"Buried" starring Ryan Reynolds.

He's the only person in the movie physically, others are only voices on a phone.

In short, it's about a transport vehicle driver in Iraq who has been buried alive for ransom. All he has is a phone and a few other items.

Can't say much about how I felt about the movie itself without spoiling it... I would say it definitely is worth a watch but it's not light viewing :umm2:. On the "movie critic" side, it has a few messages that it is trying to sell, but it could have done so much more subtly and (therefore) more effectively... there are a few bits and pieces of bad writing that are far too "in your face" (i.e. most viewers will already have got the message, but they find convoluted ways to just outright state it anyway). The entire film pretty much is shot inside the box/coffin... it does make for quite uncomfortable viewing... in that sense, it's very well filmed and the effect they're going for (essentially the feeling that you're buried with him) works. Not one to watch if you're claustrophobic. Reynolds is also surprisingly decent in it, given that he's primarily a comedy actor and it's certainly not a humorous film...

7/10 - defs worth watching but don't spoiler it for yourself first. Would have rated it 8/10 if it wasn't for the occasional poorly written dialogue - I'd say there are only four or five "incidents" of it in the whole film but they do stand out / grate.

[Niamh.]

Oh I saw that TS, it was so uncomfortable watching it. . . Which I suppose was the aim :laugh:

[BigSister]

Bridget Jones Baby. Was looking forward to seeing it and wasn't disappointed but think only fans of the film will like it Ill give it 8 out of 10 though

Deliverance(1972)

7/10

Some continuity issues

[Ammi]

..Devil's Knot (2013)...maybe I enjoyed this more because I had been looking into the murders and seen the documentaries..but really absorbing..(not the type of movie that you could describe as very good because of the content..)...good performances though from Reece Witherspoon and Colin Firth...8/10...

West of Memphis - Yet another docu-film on the West Memphis 3 :laugh:

[Braden]

Went to watch Bridget Jones's Baby at the cinema with some people from my course.

I enjoyed. There was quite a bit of hype because my Mum said it was one of the best films she has watched (that shocked me), and so many people said it was good. I never expected it to live up to the other two, but the plot is really strong and a perfect arc to the 'Bridget Jones story'. Lots of funny moments too. Though I wish her friends from the first two films appeared more often throughout.

I kinda wish Jack was the parent to the baby. Because it would've fit nicely with what Bridget said about being open to all kinds of families, and having him as the father and Bridget with Mr. Darcy would've been a good ending. They could've went on to have another child, and they would've all still been happy with Jack still involved.

[Jake.]

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension - 2/10

I was a big fan of the Paranormal franchise. The first film brought back the genre after years of lazy remakes and gore. Whilst its sequel didn't quite live up to the first, it still provided chills and jumps. The third film bettered the second by changing the time frame and up-ing the scares.

The fourth film was a let down with nowhere new to go (although the ending was still decent), whilst The Marked Ones changed the setting which made for a more interesting installment in the franchise. I never really had high hopes for The Ghost Dimension, mainly because of the 3D camera gimmick and general loss of steam in previous sequels. Tonight I decided to give it a watch, and my fears were confirmed. Lazy, silly and filled to the brim woth shoddy effects, you'd be forgiven for thinking this had nothing to do with the first film released back in 2010. The "old camera which can pick up weird stuff" element was completely wasted with laughable CGI, whilst the acting was pretty lame at best. The whole point was not knowing what was haunting the families; doors opening on their own, noises in the night and unexplainable occurances are what made the first few films stand out. Instead, we've now got a camera from the 80s which can apparently pick up this entity, except it makes the demon out to look like some form of black, thick tar. The producers claimed to tie up loose ends, but what happened to Katie? Where did Hunter go? Why is every film aside from the third pretty much forgotten about? It gains a couple of points for the few jumps; the santa costume scene was pretty unnerving and there was the odd bang here and there. Aside from that, nothing.

It was sad to watch a series I once held in such high regard sink to new lows. Ah well, at least they aren't making any more.

Brooklyn - I love Saoirse Ronan. Enjoyable film about Irish immigrants to the USA in the 1950's 7.5/10

[Ammi]

Brooklyn - I love Saoirse Ronan. Enjoyable film about Irish immigrants to the USA in the 1950's 7.5/10

...awww, I really enjoyed that movie and yes, Saoirse is delightful..:lovedup:..I love stories about that 'small town' psychology thing and the stifling and the judgemental and the family commitments/pulls versus the need for a life beyond...I can't recall her name but I loved Julie Walter's character as well...

[Niamh.]

Black Mass - It was good enough, not really the type of film I love but it was good 6/10

Saving Mr. Banks - You can never go too far wrong with Tom Hanks, very enjoyable, Emma Thompson played her part very well as well I thought 7.5/10

[Ammi]

..A Hologram for the King...usually Tom Hanks is enough to make any movie a great watch but this just didn't quite work for me...it left me a bit flat like Eat, Pray, Love in it's journey of self discovery and didn't quite seem to hit the uplifting bit../I didn't feel the journey...Tom Hanks though and the soundtrack give it a 6-7/10-ish....

[Niamh.]

The Young Offenders - It's a film set in Cork (alot of it in Mayfield where I grew up). It's a story made up around the time that all those bails of cocaine were seized from a yacht and lots of them ended up in Cork waters and this story is about 2 15 year olds who set off to try and find a bail before the Police manage to collect them all. It was really funny 8/10

[Cal.]

Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers - Watching them all because it's October. It's one of the better sequels in the series but that isn't saying much. 6 or 7 out of 10.

[Vanessa]

Wolf Creek 2. The movie itself isn't that great, but i love the main bad guy. He makes me laugh, bursting into song while he's got his latest victim tied up :joker: 6/10

Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers - Watching them all because it's October. It's one of the better sequels in the series but that isn't saying much. 6 or 7 out of 10.

I only really like the first Halloween movie. The sequels all steadily get worse :laugh:

I only really like the first Halloween movie. The sequels all steadily get worse :laugh:

I agree. The original is amazing and the second one is okay but then they all dwindle in quality from there besides the seventh one when they bring Jamie Lee back but then they ruined it again with the eighth film.

[Vanessa]

The first two are brilliant, but the third one is a bit disappointing. I just don't see the point of making so many sequels :joker:

[Cal.]

I've never seen the third but apparently if you don't count it as part of the Halloween series it's a pretty good movie. Yeah, me neither. I mean I'd watch a new one every year if they kept bringing them out so I'm being hypocritical but if they'd left Michael Myers at the end of the second one the series would be better received.

There's a new one coming out next year. :laugh: But it should be good considering the guy who made the first movie is back to producing it.

[Lostie!]

Ringu - 8/10

Being a big fan of The Ring, I've wanted to watch this for ages so I finally got round to it. I loved it, although (controversial opinion alert) I actually prefer the US remake.

[Jessica.]

Orangu?

[Ammi]

..We Need to Talk About Kevin.../a recommendation from Dezzy/thank you..:love:...it was cold, it was empty, it was just devoid really..it didn't make you feel because it didn't feel, there was no emotion..no emotion given to the characters and no emotion felt by the characters...not really a film that can be said was enjoyed but a tremendous movie and a tremendous impact and a 9/10...

[Ammi]

..The Blind Side...because it was on TV and probably one of my all time favourite movies, just a lovely true story and a lovely Sandra Bullock...10/10...:love:...

[Benjamin]

Cruel Intentions - 8/10

[Sticks]

My Scientology Movie with Louis Theroux

His attempt at making a documentary on the Church of Scientology, during which he came under surveillance and disruptive efforts by the church.

8/10 - Loses a couple of points for the way Louis tried to press one of the people he was working with at the wrong moment.

...Deadpool../as recommended by TS..his story reminded me of Ben Grimm's in some ways..a great movie/a great cast..I think Colossus was my favourite superhero character and Teenage Warhead but Ryan Reynolds was perfect as Deadpool also...8/10....

Wes Anderson :worship:

He's an amazing director. How everything was symmetrical, the colours, dialogue etc... awesome.

I need to watch his other movies - Royal Tenenbaums and Moonrise Kingdom especially.

[Calderyon]

V/H/S - 3,0/5

Very weird and strange one this was. Has quite a bit of scares, which is good for a horror film. The second story didn´t really fit in the theme of the movie (4 our of 5 of the stories were supernatural themed) and felt it was more suitable for a different movie or could have been a whole new movie itself. Because it was in this movie, it was my least favorites of the stories.

[Ammi]

..Prayers for Bobby...I watched this movie because of something in SD section recently and it was recommended on a link/vid on a topic there...it's heartbreakingly sad, Bobby's story..his love for his family and their religious beliefs disabling them from being able to accept who he was but it's also uplifting as well.../sad/beautiful/I would totally recommend...:love:...10/10...

[Calderyon]

V/H/S 2 - 2.85/5

About as weird as the first one, but the stories matched together much better this time, even though there was maybe too much zombies involved. Even with all that the first one was better, i think. Had some good scares on this one as well.

[Shaun]

Just watched Star Wars VII - loved it from start to finish. One of the few recent JJ Abrams projects that hasn't left me bored to tears :love: 9/10 because I thought more could've been revealed about Finn, Rey & the gay fighter pilot

Day before, I watched Sicario. It was hugely unsatisfying from an empathetic point of view (really wanted Emily Blunt to shoot him at the end) (don't think that's a HUGE spoiler really, you'll only know who I mean if you see it) but Benicio Del Toro was great and it had that same compelling, dark, "oh god this is all horrible" vibe that Drive did. Before Wending Refn went a bit too crazy and pursued neon lights to accompany his gore fantasies in lack of plots. Supporting cast was great too, surprised to see Posh Kenneth in Hollywood. The entire night-vision sequence was some of the tensest film I've seen in a long time. Also 9/10.

[Livia]

Oculus. Predictable. I'm not much of a horror fan though, unless it's really good. And this wasn't. 4/10

Deadpool. Ridiculously violent and far-fetched. I loved it. 9/10

[MB.]

So I took my little cousins to see Moana and tbh I think I enjoyed it more than they did

[Calderyon]

Jason Bourne - A good enough film and a reasonable adding to the Bourne saga, but not as good as the previous ones. 3/5

[Sticks]

Sully: - Miracle on the Hudson

mjKEXxO2KNE

A telling of the story of the investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who landed on the Hudson river in New York after a bird strike knocked out both engines in 2009.

8/10 -lost marks because it seemed to jump back and forth from the investigation to the forced water landing, so it did seem disjointed at times, but then I'm not Clint Eastwood who directed it, so what do I know?

You have to sit through the end credits, as the Easter egg were scenes of the real passengers of that flight and the real Captain Sullenberger.

[Niamh.]

Flight : Really good film, Denzel is always good eventhough I find him pretty unlikeable 8/10

The One I Love : This is a really strange film, I can't say alot about it without spoiling it, i'd advise anyone who likes slightly unusual movies to watch it but don't google anything about it first 8/10

[Jamie89]

Independence Day: Resurgence - 1/10

Honestly one of the worst most moronic films I've ever watched, I'm so disappointed at how awful it was. It get's one point for having some good effects but everything else drags it down so heavily. (I actually started watching it last night but I gave up half way through because it was so terrible but I decided to watch the rest tonight anyway in case it got better... it got worse).

[Sticks]

Life, Animated 10/10

Anyone with knowledge or familiarity with Autism needs to see it.

Love and Friendship starring Kate Beckinsale. Got it for Christmas... wasn't sure... ended up being the best film I'd seen for aaaaages. Really clever and witty.

I'm giving it a 9.9/10

[Niamh.]

Sully - Love Tom Hanks, great story as well :love: 8.5/10

The Girl on The Train - They made a good job of transferring this to film 8/10

[LukeB]

Batman vs superman - 6/10 - found it ok but the fight was great.

Captain America Civil War - 10/0 - fantastic movie and the airport scene :worship:

[Wizard.]

Passengers - 6.5/10 - It's trying to be a bit like Titanic/Castaway but in space. The plotline is quite predictable. but the acting is okay, and it has some humorous moments. Also the addition of space visuals makes it a tad stunning. So yeah if you want something easy to watch that doesn't take too much concentration then this'll pass some time.

[Jøsh]

Circle - 9/10 - It's a film that makes you think, I enjoyed it. Watchable on Netflix.

Fifty people wake up in a darkened room, arranged in two concentric circles around a black dome. Noises sound when they attempt to move or touch the others. When someone ignores the warning and leaves formation, a beam from the dome kills them. As the others panic, a man attempts to calm them. In mid-sentence, he is killed by the device. Thereafter, every two minutes, another person is killed. After several people die, they realize they can vote for who dies. When nobody votes, one is selected randomly.

[Braden]

East is East:

I watched it due to the passing of Om Puri (though my favourite film that he stars in is The Parole Officer). I found it quite an appropriate film that commeorates his work as an actor.

The film makes me feel quite nostalgic because I remember my family watching it when I was a young boy. Back then I wasn't aware of the cultural/religious themes, but have watched a number of times since. It's so strange how you can watch films at certain points of your life and have it resonate with you so differently. I watched it two or three years prior to last night, but it felt like I was watching it with no preconceptions this time. Almost as if I hadn't watched it all.

The last time I watched it, I enjoyed it so much. I would've easily said it was one of the best films I've seen. This time I watched from a new perspective of because I found Puri's death quite sad. The more serious aspects of the film were much more harrowing (such as George's belligerence towards his family, his violent nature, etc). However, it is still such a fun film. The Mancunian and Pakistani cohesion is perfect (in addition to its setting in the 1970's), and the characters (mainly the Khan children) are so well-illustrated and distinct. Even though there's never really any development with them.

It's just such a clever idea that is well-executed, and also a progressive depiction to how ubiquitously multi-cultural the UK is.

"The Witch" (2015)

About a Puritan family centuries ago (probs like 1600s) that get banished from their village and have to live in the woods where there are witches.

Their goat called Black Phillip talks and turns out to be Satan and a baby is taken and killed to make body oil for an old witch. Really horrible scene where the mother imagines her baby and her oldest son (both killed by witches) come back to her and she starts breastfeeding the baby but in actuality it's a crow pecking and biting her breast, horrible.

In the end the daughter (everyone else is dead by this point) signs a deal with the goat/Satan and joins the coven of witches in the woods and floats into the sky.

SO STRANGE!! I think I'd have gotten more into it if I could understand them properly, they were talking like old English from centuries ago.

Mission Impossible 5: Rogue Nation (2015) :love:
10/10 > thrilling & action packed, joint best with MI:4

Ant-Man (2015)
9/10 > quite funny also very entertaining

Stitches (2013)
7/10 > a clown that gets revenge on kids that killed him with amusing deaths

Terror Train (1980)
6/10 > one of the better 80's slashers, this one actually had a plot :eek:

Visiting Hours (1982)
2/10 > poorly made slasher with very little entertainment

Outpost 2: Black Sun (2012)
2/10 > equally as shi*e as the first

Iron Man (2008) - 8/10

Friday the 13th (1980) - 7.5/10

X-Men: Apocalypse - 6/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

Tomorrowland: A World Beyond (2015)
8/10 > really good, but I thought the idea of just walking around anywhere in real life whilst holding the pin & whilst in tomorrowland was stupid, but because of that it was quite funny, like falling down the stairs & headbutting walls :D

Ripper (2001)
7/10 > good horror about the ripper

Graduation Day (1981)
2/10 > boring 80's cack

Just Before Dawn (1981)

:joker: good run.


Don't Breathe (2016)

"An old blind man is forced to guzzle a turkey baster full of his own cum"

That's the tagline we came up with when the film was finished. I'm not gonna lie... whilst watchable... the whole thing was pretty ****ing stupid. Unlikeable / unsympathetic characters all round, constantl doing stupid things... I'm at a loss as to how anyone watching is supposed to care what happens to any to them even a little bit?

It was an entertaining enough (by virtue of being just daft enough to be amusing) way to kill an hour and a half but generally a pretty bad film. I think we settled on around 5.6/10.

It gets 7.2 on IMDB and I really have no idea how.

I enjoyed Don't Breathe. It was fun, suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat. The only gripe I'd say was that it should've ended about ten minutes sooner as that whole car scene with the dog attack and returning to the house was unnecessary.

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1 (2014)
7/10 > why they had to split this into two is beyond me, as a result it was a bit boring & slow moving, hopefully part 2 will be better

Komodo (1999)
6/10 > surprisingly decent film about big Komodo dragons running riot on a island

Q: The Winged Serpent (1982)
4/10 > dodgy everything

Evilspeak (1982)
2/10 > soooo boring & I don't get why it was banned? should have been banned for being so ****e

Witchboard (1986)
2/10 > cheesy horror that delivers Z's

Final Exam (1981)
1/10 > no plot whatsoever the killer just turns up randomly & starts killing people with no motive, absolutely awful

[Benzient-XXVII]

Knock Knock (2015)
8/10 > really good home invasion thriller

Alligator (1980)
7/10 > a lot better than I thought it would be, and a kid dies gruesomely filmmakers had balls

The Maddening (1995)
3/10 > can't even remember what happened

Death Ship (1980)
2/10 > similar to Ghost Ship but worse if that's possible

Dawn Of The Mummy (1981)
2/10 > dull & all the gore was in the last 20 minutes

Fever Lake (1996)
2/10 > don't remember much but I was yawning a lot

[Shaun]

Watched a couple whilst staying in a hotel last week, plus one last night:

The Wolf of Wall Street - I'd downloaded it when it first leaked but the 3 hour running time just kept motivating me to say "...some other time..." I wish I'd seen it sooner. Obviously heavily influenced by Goodfellas and I've not been a huge fan of some of Scorsese's films inbetween the two (I'm probably the only one who really didn't care about The Departed at all), it's a very funny, shocking, disgusting movie that plays out thrillingly. Yeah, there were too many F-bombs and the characters were appalling and you walk out wondering just how Jordan Belfort hasn't killed himself out of shame, but it's surprising. Didn't have Margot Robbie down as a great actress - saw her as another Hollywood starlet hired mostly for looks than anything else - but she brought a good (not amazing) deal of heart to the movie. 9/10.

The Imitation Game - also on Film4 last week. I didn't expect a lot from it because I'm of the internet folk that find Benedict Cumberbatch's hype a little bizarre (Sherlock is good but nothing more), but he was great in this. Pacing was pretty good, plenty of intrigue and the story was compelling, and Keira Knightley was surprisingly great as well. Only thing I would say is that whilst the gay element was moving, I do wonder how realistic the "sham marriage" proposal was. Which I could probably just google now but I'm typing on TiBB innit. 8/10

Sully - I can't really fault it in terms of the story, the direction and the acting, I guess... but it just felt like it was really paper-thin (and only 96 minutes, IIRC, which didn't help) and whilst the action sequences were breathtaking, the human element (which ironically the emotional thrust of the film kept underlining the importance of) just really didn't move me in any way. Hanks is obviously brilliant, but I felt more empathy towards Eckhart's first captain than him... what was told onscreen of Sully himself was too brief and uninteresting. Good cast, fine action, but didn't grab me. 6 or 7/10.

[LukeB]

Don't breathe (2016) - 8/10 - loved this film :clap1: it was amazing throughout and it was quite jumpy as well with the gun shots and stuff. The blind man was quite creepy and the characters were great. I screamed at Rocky shoving the blind mans cum bottle in the blind mans mouth :joker:

[Shaun]

just watched the Ab Fab movie... it was alright. Nothing great. 5/10.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Alexander And The Terrible,Horrible,No Good,Very Bad Day (2014) :love:
10/10 > very funny

Unfriended (2015)
8/10 > very surprising how good it was, kept me interested from start to finish

Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)
8/10 > enjoyable sequel but the first was better

Alien Abduction (2014)
6/10 > it was ok was entertaining

Community (2010)

10/10 > hilarious one of the funniest comedy's I've seen, love Amy Schumer's delivery it was so funny :D

Deliver Us From Evil (2015)
7/10 > good but the pacing was slow & I got bored in places

W Delta Z (2006)
6/10 > quite liked it

Containment (2015)
3/10 > another forgettable horror

Sorority House Massacre (1987)
2/10 > 80's horror are the worst

Clown House (1989)
2/10 > rubbish, I didn't know who directed this until afterwards & it made me think what I just watched & it was more disturbing then I realized

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i started watching trainwreck last year and i was confused bc she kept getting with these really hot guys when she looks like a potato?

8/10 > amusing throughout, the Cat had the best lines

Scooby-Doo Wrestlemania Mystery (2014)
7/10 > entertaining mystery

Roadside (2015)
4/10 > premise was good but I felt that bad guy was just doing it for a laugh & not for a reason

[Braden]

Space Jam was on ITV2 earlier :love:

As one of my favourite films as a kid, it makes me feel quite nostalgic. Funny watching it back and realising how bad the film is, though it will always be signifcant and enjoyable for me.

[Jason.]

Eden Lake (2008) - 9/10

I'm surprised I'd never seen this until now but I thought it was fantastic. Very raw and brutal. Great protagonists too that you end up fiercely rooting for. The unjustified ending left me furious but it fitted in well with the film that it doesn't take away from it all.

:clap1: I'm sure I was talking to someone on here about this recently (or possibly ages ago), it's one of my favourites and very underrated.

I feel the same about the ending, it's really upsetting but it adds to the disturbing aspect of the film which I think makes it better and more shocking, rather than taking the happy ending route.

[Babayaro.]

Eden Lake is a classic! Such a disturbing film :clap1:

[Benzient-XXVII]

Scooby-Doo Moon Monster Madness (2015)
8/10 > like most Scooby-Doo straight to DVD films it was entertaining

Scooby-Doo Legend Of The Phantosaur (2011)
8/10 > it was quite amusing

Scooby-Doo The Music Of The Vampire (2011)
6/10 > I was cringing a fair bit because I hate musicals, but it was okay I guess

Body Bags (1993)
4/10 > anthology of 3 short horror themed films, the first was good but the other two were poor which dragged my score down

The Horde (2009)
3/10 > bad french (I watched the dubbed in English version) zombie film

Nightmares (1983)
3/10 > four short horror tales that didn't held my attention

[Jason.]

Yeah I remember you and Marc talking about it during the Halloween Countdown I think. But yeah I loved it. It's one of those films that stays with you for a while after watching and the fact it's so realistic and can easily happen to you is why it's so effective. I love horror films like that.


And yeah I'm glad they didn't go down the happy ending route, it's an original ending and it makes it all the more scarier that the kids pretty much got away with it.

When Jenny realises she's in Brett's house :o

I quite liked The Horde actually, even if it was very OTT lol. The scene where the main character is on top of the car fending off hundreds of zombies is ridiculous!

[Xtopher]

Rosemary's Baby. 10/10 Classic.

[MB.]

La La Land - 9/10

Not 10, only because the middle drags ever so slightly and because I'm not buying Ryan Gosling as the saviour of jazz

[LukeB]

The Descent - 10/10

[Babayaro.]

I watched Buried a couple of weeks ago and I can honestly say that it's one of the most intense, gripping films i've ever seen. Never have I rooted for a character so much. A must watch IMO.

[JerseyWins]

In theaters:

Split - 7/10 (not bad)

Out of theaters:

The Quiet Ones - 4.5/10 (pretty garbage)

What a tense, uncomfortable film it was, they captured the feeling so perfectly, it sounds like a terrible idea for a film but they got it so spot on

Sausage Party - Meh stupid jokes, pretty stupid film 4/10

What's that film about Sandra bullock who gets kidnapped at a petrol station and then buried alive or something? Can anyone remember?

Is it actually called buried alive? :think:

Night At The Museum 3: Secret Of The Tomb (2014)

Scooby-Doo & Kiss: Rock And Roll Mystery (2015)

The Woods (2006)
4/10 > meh horror set in an all girls school in the 60's

Rabid Grannies (1989)
1/10 > one of the worst horrors I've seen

[Niamh.]

Is Buried the one with Ryan Reynolds?

It sounds good.

Yeah that's the one, it's a great film

[Shaun]

Moonlight.

Idk... I'd still give it a 9/10 because of how well it was made, the acting, the storyline, the themes touched upon... but it felt a bit rushed? There didn't seem to be a lot of events played out on screen, it relied a bit too heavily on us to just fill in the gaps between the three chapters ourselves. And whilst I love the cast, I can't quite work out what of Mahershala Ali's performance was long or emotive enough to deserve the acting nominations over, say, Ashton Sanders or Jharrel Jerome (I felt the teenage segment of the film was the strongest)

And I really felt a bit blase about the ending. A lot of tension but not much else to those scenes.

But yes this is a lot of negative writing about a film I otherwise quite enjoyed. Can just see quite easily why it's not going to win Oscars.

[Ronald.]

Dreamgirls with my daughter. Beyonce was good but the other girl from the voice was better. She had an excellent voice. Didnt know the third "dream" but she didnt have a big part.

7/10 because i like songs but not too many. R.

It's a really bleak and uncomfortable watch but yeah, it's filmed so well that it's basically like a "buried alive simulator" I thought :joker:.

My only gripe with the film was that some of the "on the phone" voice actors weren't great... which really stood out because Ryan Reynolds was good in it.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Insurgent (2015)
9/10 > equally as good as the first

Home (2015)

Taken 3 (2015)

Forget Me Not (2009)
3/10 > forgot what happened

Dorothy (2008)
3/10 > Dorothy was so annoying, she needed a slap

The Corridor (2010)
3/10 > mind boggling dull & stupid

[Niamh.]

I thought Taken 3 was much better than Taken 2, cant beat the first though

[y.winter]

Just came back from Snowden with my colleagues.
A good movie, very interesting learning more about it, a bit too lengthy but it's worth the time.
Joseph's doing a good job.

[user104658]

Watched "It Follows" last night. Decently creepy in places but all maybe a bit underdeveloped. A solid 7/10 though I would say.

[King Gizzard]

Paterson - Huge Adam Driver fan so I definitely liked it, not a lot going on and most people would probably hate it but it was good escapism for a couple of hours even if nothing really happens. Basically a bus driver in a small US town writing poetry. Quite funny. 8/10

Silence - A bit hit and miss. Really really good cinematography and really good acting performance from Andrew Garfield, but it goes on a bit too long and the story is a bit hit and miss. Felt like falling asleep at a few parts but to be fair to it it drags you back in and you start to enjoy it again. If you go to the to enjoy and laugh at a film I'd say it isn't for you.. 8/10

Manchester by the Sea, should win its awards at the oscars, especially Affleck who is amazing, but probably won't because of all the court cases and stuff. The supporting actor is great too but probably doesn't stand a chance of winning anything. Heartbreaking but still very funny. Nice shots of America too, the less glamorous parts you don't often get to see.. 10/10

[Shaun]

Ghostbusters (2016 one)

Haven't seen the original in a long time but obviously this relied a lot on it... the cameos were unexpected (hadn't heard anything about those appearing) and nicely worked in. And whilst I have a varying degree of love for the 4 actresses involved (McKinnon > Wiig > Jones > McCarthy) it's um... let's say Feig peaked with his first film (Bridesmaids). Too many asides - muttered comments that're written by people who like puns and tweets and one-liners rather than actors being able to deliver memorable comedy.

CGI and action and all of that stuff was great, and it was an enjoyable movie, and obviously I'm going to defend it against the hordes of angry misogynists online, but yeah it's not a memorable one. I'd give it a 5 or a 6.

[Jason.]

Buried (2010) - 8.5/10

I was craving a thriller film so I decided to watch this last night as it sounded really promising and it certainly delivered. It's one of those films that leaves you feeling uneasy throughout. The direction and Ryan Reynold's performance were excellent. :clap1:

[Jason.]

I watched Buried a couple of weeks ago and I can honestly say that it's one of the most intense, gripping films i've ever seen. Never have I rooted for a character so much. A must watch IMO.

Ugh it was so good.

BIB: The part where he loses hope of ever getting out and records a will and testament to his family. </3

What a tense, uncomfortable film it was, they captured the feeling so perfectly, it sounds like a terrible idea for a film but they got it so spot on

Him not getting out though :bawling:


I agree. Being buried alive is one of my biggest fears and this film captured the realism of it. I'd honestly rather be burnt alive.

Terminator 5:Genisys (2015)

Avengers 2: Age Of Ultron (2015)

Gone Girl (2014)

[Shaun]

Suicide Squad.

Part of me wants to just write "loud, stupid garbage" but...well that would be flippant.

I wanted to like it. I love the DC universe. But the current studios and production are driving it into the ground and it's upsetting to watch. I'm not getting into the whole Marvel vs. DC debate because it's tedious and obstructive of a pretty simple question: "are the movies good?" Man of Steel was not, and this was not. (I haven't seen Batman vs. Superman)

I also liked Zack Snyder's Watchmen... but it stayed pretty loyal to a standalone comic series that was hyper-stylish, had a gorgeous setting and was reasonably well-acted by a group of actors that weren't too distracting. Everything else of his I've seen is pretty nonsense.

A list of terrible things about this movie.
- The soundtrack. Songs pop up out of nowhere at the most inopportune moments and turn the whole thing into a 15 year old's media project entitled "Why Comics Are Awesome!" Any tension, action or driven plot suffers from a 80% chance of being interrupted by unnecessary budget expenses. I'm sure Queen and whoever's surviving of the Animals aren't complaining though.
- Cara Delevigne (sp?) Girl can't act. She's everywhere. Why? She's awful. She plays perhaps the most interesting character of this entire movie with a year 6 nativity level of command.
- Pencil thin characterisations. If you're going to introduce everyone in a roster like some done-to-death heist setup, chances are no one's really going to care about them. I mean... would anyone have missed Boomerang, Killer Croc, the fire guy or Katana from this?
- Broad characterisations as well. Think I lost track of the number of "esé"s used in whatever dialogue there was with Diablo. Jokes made about Katana may as well have gone "ching ching chong", they were that tasteless. And having Margot Robbie go "...what?" after pulling on the shortest shorts imaginable as a cheeky "haha wouldn't it be awful if we all just gawked at her ass" wink from the writers isn't the most convincing deterrent from this being quite obviously "comic guys being as sleazy and wanky as is expected".
- Jared Leto. The Joker was always going to be impossible to follow after Ledger but oh god this was as subtle as a brick. He was neither menacing enough to incite fear nor engaging enough to boast unpredictability. I'm still having trouble getting over the idea to have the words "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" all over his walls, tattooed on his skin... who the **** comes up with this?
- Slow-mo. That end sequence with everyone finally taking witch-lady down took forever. I can't recall a single scene where I was blown away by the choreography of the fights.
- Nonsense plot points. Waller shooting her entire staff felt tacked-on to hammer home some point about "there are no good guys really!!!" Witches and sun-gods being vulnerable to a minor bomb. Harley Quinn and Boomerang being at all remotely useful in this team. Flag falling in love with poor Moore lady over a timeline that must've been three weeks. Moore thinking "let's snap the head off this artifact" in that cave. Deadshot's daughter thinking "let's separate daddy and Batman". Diablo just happening to be as large and powerful as the Incubus guy. I'm sure there's 20 more.

A list of things I enjoyed about this movie.
- Will Smith, Viola Davis, Margot Robbie. They all brought it.
- General theme of the Enchantress, not a character I was aware of before and a rather fresh (ish?) one. The asphalt-looking mess left behind by her and her brother's odd little propulsions was quite gruesome and spectacular to look at.
- Special effects were neat I guess?

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

[LukeB]

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) :love:
10/10 > very funny

Lockout (2012)

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

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 :facepalm: 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

[Marsh.]

A list of things I enjoyed about this movie.
- Will Smith, Viola Davis, Margot Robbie. They all brought it.
- General theme of the Enchantress, not a character I was aware of before and a rather fresh (ish?) one. The asphalt-looking mess left behind by her and her brother's odd little propulsions was quite gruesome and spectacular to look at.
- 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

:worship::worship::worship::worship::worship::wors hip::worship::worship::worship::worship::worship:: worship::worship::worship::worship::worship::worsh ip::worship::worship::worship::worship::worship:

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 http://i66.tinypic.com/a1i87m.gifhttp://i66.tinypic.com/a1i87m.gifhttp://i66.tinypic.com/a1i87m.gif

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...:flutter:). 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.

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

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

[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.

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

[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

[Shaun]

How on earth are you viewing so many movies so quickly Benzient :worry:

[Shaun]

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

How on earth are you viewing so many movies so quickly Benzient :worry:

As Above So Below: Solid movie that starts out slow but really picks up... quality 7.5/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Boxtrolls (2014)
7/10 > unusual animation quite liked it overall

Dying Of The Light (2014)
6/10 > Nicolas Cage stars in yet another straight to DVD film which was decent for a change, what ever happened to his career?

Soul Survivors (2001)
6/10 > slow moving throughout it was borderline average, but the twist was great & saved it

Extraction (2013)
3/10 > mind numbing rubbish about going into self consciousness ZZZZZ, watch the inside of your eye lids instead it would be more entertaining than this

Blood Rage (1987)
1/10 > gore was good but 80's slashers are 99% crap most of the time

Bloody Moon (1981)
1/10 > poorly dubbed & acted garbage

Cried. Like. A. Bitch.

10/10. (I understand the criticisms because there's not a terrible amount of complexity to the story so the middle begins to drag a bit, but meh. What was there, I loved)

Dazed & Confused - 10/10 - one of my fav movies. Makes you want to be a teenager in 70's Texas - funny, nostalgic, brilliant.

The Dictator (2012)

Fred Claus (2007)
8/10 > normally I find Xmas films cringe but I liked this a lot

Tremors 5: Bloodlines (2015)
7/10 > good sequel, hope they stop after 6

Dracula Untold (2014)
7/10 > Dracula's story has been told over & over now, let him R.I.P

Get Santa (2014)
7/10 > good xmas movie but it was too British & too serious for my liking

Debug (2015)
2/10 > terribly bad but I expect nothing less from Signature Films

[JerseyWins]

The Dictator was hilarious. :joker: I'd also give it an 8 or better.

[Shaun]

Fences

An ordeal, and not a great one. Can't fault Denzel or Viola's performances but oh god the Troy character is the most hideous I've seen in a long time. Loathed him. So I guess it made me feel. But oh god this was such a boring movie. 5 or 6/10 for not being objectively bad but I never want to watch it again.

[Jason.]

I went to see Split last night.

James McAvoy stole the show with his performance and the way he was able to move so effortlessly between Kevin's various personalities. I can't fault any of the acting in this at all, Betty Buckley was also fantastic as were the three girls. The film wasn't really what I was expecting after having seen the trailer (I was expecting it to play out more like 10 Cloverfield Lane) but meh I still enjoyed it, although it could've been more suspenseful. I found myself laughing more than actually feeling scared as did my friends and most of the people at the theatre, especially any scene featuring Hedwig. I do wish we got to see more of Kevin's 23 personalities though as I felt they dwelled on that too much only to end up showing us about five of them. It left me wondering what the others were like? Hedwig was hilarious and I thought he worked well because it made the sudden personality switches to Patricia and Dennis all the more unsettling. Aside from Hedwig, I also liked Patricia and Barry, both of whom were VERY intriguing.

I don't know how to feel about the ending though with

The Beast and giving him superhuman strength and speed. It felt kinda out of place and far-fetched to me and something you'd see in a Superhero movie. But then I've heard the film (and the ending with Bruce Willis) ties in with M Night's other film, Unbreakable, which Split is supposedly a sequel to so I definitely need to check that out.
7.5/10

Casablanca - The original 1942 version with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Birdman

A timeless classic

The DVD only cost me £2 from a second hand shop I was passing yesterday.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Trance (2013)
6/10 > okay all the way through the last 30 minutes were the best & the twists were good

Priest (2011)
5/10 > liked a couple of parts, but a headache trying to figure out what the hell was going on

Saving Santa (2013)
5/10 > meh animation that had very few laughs to warrant another viewing

Shelter (2013)
5/10 > last 30 minutes was much better, shame the rest was boring

The Sand (2015)
3/10 > wish they'd would make a decent film about this plot such wasted potential, the ''actors'' are below average & the long haired blonde in red bikini was thick as S***

The Dictator was hilarious. :joker: I'd also give it an 8 or better.

it was funny yes :hee:

The Autopsy Of Jane Doe 5/10

I still dont get what it is about

[LukeB]

House at the end of the street - 5/10

I didn't really enjoy this movie and I gave it a 5 simply because Jennifer Lawrence made me watch it in full! it was boring throughout and normally when i find movies boring it picks up during the middle. I felt sorry for Ryan but he ended being a villain which i did not expect :omgno:

The Gal on the Train (2016)

The Sixth Sense (1999)
9/10 > saw this once over a decade ago, luckily I forgot the twist so it came as a surprise, great film

Nim's Island (2008)
9/10 > it was quite amusing & the island was great to look at

Chappie (2015)
8/10 > really entertaining, I want a Chappie

The Giver (2012)
8/10 > had low expectations but it surpassed them, really good

Paul (2011)
8/10 > Simon Pegg & Nick Frost team up again in this quite funny comedy with an alien called Paul

Automata (2014)
4/10 > a film about robots & not much else, boring

[JerseyWins]

The ending to Split definitely felt random and out of place and the movie was good but not amazing. I also agree @ James McEvoy, he was phenomenal in it. :clap1:

Into the Forrest - Pure sh**e 4/10

The Monster - Even worse sh**e 3/10

[Shaun]

La La Land

Quite lovely tbh. Didn't expect much from it - especially after the opening which made Enchanted look like American History X. But it got a lot more charming and warm and infectious, some of the music was wonderful (although I found Gosling's character a pretentious arse. There was nothing wrong with that song by John Legend's band), and the two leads were pretty nice... I wouldn't give either of them the Leading Oscars though. It'd essentially be an award for learning the most talents - tapdancing, piano, etc - rather than a particular acting performance. Both have been eclipsed by Mortensen/Washington and Portman from the films I've seen.

But it was a really good film and one that I'd happily see again. 9/10. Director's on a great streak atm going from Whiplash to this.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
9/10 > great film with twist & turns, the critics are STUPID

Hall Pass (2011)
9/10 > couldn't help but laugh pretty much all the way through

The International (2009)
8/10 > great thriller with Clive Owen (get him mixed up with Gerald Butler for some reason)

She’s Funny That Way (2014)
8/10 > Jennifer Aniston deliver the laughs whilst Imogen Poots accent irritates

Vice (2015)
7/10 > quite good for straight to DVD

Minions (2015)
7/10 > amusing & entertaining better than Despicable Me 2 anyway

[Ronald.]

Went to see la la land with the family . Was very good . Wife didn't like the ending bit i think that's because she didn't understand the point of the film . Daughter loved the songs and I thought both the man and woman were good. Was a nostalgic nod to the old films I remember and love. How they used to break out into song and dance for no reason - that's what used to happen ! Loved it ! Gaga for lala land ! R.

[Braden]

T2: Trainspotting

A really nice sequel, but not as a good as the first - obviously. It was good to see how the characters had developed, and they wereportrayed and written quite well.

The Scottish culture is embedded in my small town so there were some really nice moments that made me somewhat emotional and nostalgic. Really fitting ending too, though the plot itself wasn't exactly strong.

I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

[LucyPinder'sLover]

Watched Crocodile Dundee II Last Night I Still Enjoy the film

[Shaun]

Nocturnal Animals

Somewhere between good and decent? Idk I feel I would've enjoyed the movie more if it were just about the novel within the film. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Michael Shannon were the best parts about it - which is odd since I love Amy Adams (didn't really buy into her as the stone-cold art dealer type). The cast was full of surprises actually - Vod from Fresh Meat popping up as a friend of hers :laugh: Laura Linney did a fine debutante routine. Michael Sheen was barely on-screen.

But enough of that - it was a good film within a kinda shallow and boring one. I'd give it a 7 or an 8 on a good day.

The Girl with all the Gifts. Yet another take on zombies... and a really good one. Great British-made film with an original story starring Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Glenn Close and 13 year old Sennia Nanua, who was bloody brilliant. I highly recommend.

9/10

The Pledge - It's an older one but I hadn't seen it before. It was good but left me feeling unsatisfied which was probably the point but still. 7/10

It was a bit far fetched to believe that the serial child rapist/killer that Gerry was obsessed with finding happened to choose Chrissy as his next target, of all the blonde 7-10 year olds in the area

Black Sea (2014)
9/10 > tense thriller set on a submarine

Delivery Man (2013)
7/10 > amusing but this was more drama than comedy as suggested

Lady In The Water (2006)
6/10 > it had a few funny moments, liked it somewhat

Public Enemies (2009)
6/10 > overlong but had good shootouts scenes

Hugo (2011)
6/10 > I didn't know what genre this film would fall under, because of this it was difficult to rate

[MB.]

Rings - it was good, if not a little distracting to see Marc from TiBB pop up in the middle of it

[LemonJam]

Lion - This is really good! Great acting with some really beautiful moments. Teared up a bit towards the end and that never happens to me (cos I'm a hard lad yeah)

Then because my boyfriend was was convinced was the actor playing Saroo in Lion was Shia Lebouf (?!?!?!?!?!) We ended up watching...

Slumdog Millionaire - This is possibly the most overrated film I've ever seen. The first half with the young kids is great, but then it just drones on with "he see's the girl! oh no they're separated again! but wait, he sees her again!" The characters are depthless and the acting is gormless. The cinematography is nice but nothing to write home about. Just an overall MEH of a film.

Saw Rings last night expecting it to be terrible, given the bad reviews. It was actually pretty decent and I enjoyed the story very much. A solid 6/10:hee:

I love Trainspotting, mainly for the excellent performances of the cast. Want to see the second one.

Not OK with anyone rating 28 Weeks Later as better than 28 Days Later.

Triggered is wot.

[Babayaro.]

28 Weeks is more actioned pack for sure, but 28 Days is way more scary as it actually seems realistic. That scene of a completely empty street (whatever street it is in London) is so chilling. However, the opening of 28 Weeks is one of my favourites and will always be remembered.

It's not that I don't like the sequel, 28 Weeks is a great Zombie movie, but IMO 28 Days Later is just a great movie, full stop, of any genre.

Yup I agree. It's one of my favourite films

[user104658]

Speaking of 28 Days Later though, has anyone else seen the alternative / "chicken" ending? :joker:

Basically the same things happen up until Jim is shot and they rush him to the hospital in the city. In the released ending, they manage to save him and all three of them are at the countryside cottage when the plane flies over. In the alternative, they don't manage to save Jim (probably more realistic tbh...) and they leave him there at the hospital, and still go to the country cottage... the same scene follows with Selena sewing the sheets together for the "Hello" sign for the plane, and she's chatting just as in the released ending where she's talking to Jim... but then the camera moves round and it's... a chicken. :joker: I like to think they named it "Jim".

[Lostie!]

28 Days later is really good, 28 Weeks later is a mediocre zombie flick

I love 28 Weeks Later. Although the first time I watched it I was absolutely horrified by the scene where Don kills Alice :omgno: Still find it really unpleasant to watch.

Unfriended (2015) - 8/10
31 (2016) - 5/10

I haven't seen many social-media inspired horror films but I really enjoyed Unfriended. 31 was average, it wasn't really what I was expecting and it felt like a series of short films put together rather than an actual film.

The Mummy 3: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (2008)
7/10 > first of all they replaced Rachel Wiesz with Maria Bello & it wasn't set in Egypt, but I waited 7 years for this? just feel a bit meh compared to the first two

Pretty much found all of it great...except... and it's kind of a big problem... I didn't think Joel Edgerton was good. Whilst both of the leads carried off the Lovings' quiet humility and pride to an extent, I felt that Edgerton was too...evasive of the camera filming him in addition to the one in the story. His pauses and shyness were obvious but also didn't have much clarity or "there"ness. On the complete opposite of the scale was Ruth Negga, whose silence spoke loudly. Hers was one of the best understated performances I've seen in a long time. Also found Nick Kroll a good surprise, bit odd seeing Liz G from PubLizity lobbying the Supreme Court. And Michael Shannon was brilliant as ever.

I'd give it an 8/10 because I'm not sure it'll go down as a classic and the lead actor's role was too important to leave wanting more, but otherwise I enjoyed it a lot.

Inside (2007) - 7.5/10

Really enjoyed this one. One of the better films of the New wave of French horror and a great home invasion film. Brutally gory but it's realistic and doesn't take away from it at all. Plus I love how the villain is a woman going after another woman as opposed to it being a man like it usually is in these type of films.
