What was the last film you watched?

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Crazies (2010) :love:
10/10 > one of the better remakes

Drag Me To Hell (2009) :love:
10/10 > funny & scary in equal measures

Hanna (2011)
9/10 > great action/thriller

The Watch (2012)
8/10 > Jamarcus character was funny

Flushed Away (2006)
8/10 > not as good as I remembered, some sort of charm was missing


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

sorry but they are not zombies IMO, they are people that are infected with the rage virus causes mindless uncontrollable rage and aggression, these people are very much alive & they are only the host for the virus

[Sticks]

Denial 10/10

yH7ktvUWaYo

Based on a the libel trial brought by David Irvine, (A holocaust denier), against
Acclaimed writer and historian Deborah E. Lipstadt, who also happens to be Jewish

Part of it was actually filmed a Auschwitz which had the most moving parts. What the film did highlight was how we really need to revisit our UK libel laws which have silenced those who would criticise pseudo science and quack cures[/Soapbox]

[BigSister]

The BFG and Nine lives
BFG 8/10 Enjoyed it stayed close to the book which is always good and wasn't too long either
Nine Lives 9/10 Wasn't expecting much but watched it because it was about cats but enjoyed it more really funny and had some good actors in it too

[LukeB]

Romeo and Juliet (1996) 8/10

I remember watching this in GCSE english! it was really good and still is. I might watch the recent one and the first one to see which one I prefer.

[Niamh.]

Groundhog Day - re watch obviously, still good after all these years, love Bill Murray 8/10

Lion - really great film, cant believe it actually happened, horrendous 9/10

[Beso]

I loved the first yeah but I think even if you didn't like the first you may like this one. It's less heroin focused and less...............um manky? haha and all 4 of the main actors are so great

Nothing like the book then.:shrug:

[Benzient-XXVII]

Spy (2015)
9/10 > do love Melissa McCarthy & all her films she stars in, she just has the power to make me laugh

Drillbit Taylor (2008)
8/10 > quite funny in the first half then it trails of a (drill :hehe:) bit in the second half

[Mystic Mock]

Afro Samurai: Resurrection.

It's not as good as the Anime imo which does a fantastic build up along with the great action scenes. But for what this Film is it's good fun and Lucy Liu does a good betrayal as Sio, and it does raise some good points about Afro's actions.

I would personally score this Film an 8.5/10 as it has it's moments, but just not at the heights of the Anime TV Series imo.

[Niamh.]

I haven't read the book tbh but I read in reviews of it that it's only loosely based on it

Fight Club (1999) - 8.5/10

Love this film.

[Shaun]

The Founder

As decent as Michael Keaton was, the film just flipped from loveable underdog trying to make a coin for himself, to all-out evil prick with little personal narrative. Just didn't fit right as a film, and the surrounding cast were largely pointless and undeveloped too. I'd give it a 5/10 because it was OK but...yeah I'll forget that quick.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Bridesmaids (2011) :love:
10/10 > Annie AKA Kristin Wiig made me laugh in this & I love the ending as well

Club Dread (2004)
9/10 > quite funny in the first half, then when the slasher element picks up the humor goes out the window, do love the atmosphere of stormy weather & a killer on the loose

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992)
8/10 > a guilty pleasure of mine but it's quite tame compared to the TV series which I love

[Shaun]

Moana

I was fully on-board until that bloody terrible Crab song. Awful awful awful moment in an otherwise charming and lovely Disney movie. I'd give it an 8/10 though. Not as strong as Big Hero 6/Wreck-It Ralph but better than The Princess & The Frog and Winnie the Pooh.

I'd put it on the same level as Frozen or Brave. Really good, a really strong lead song that's stuck in my head, but not quite tugging at my heartstrings.

Whiplash (2014) - 10/10

Wow. What an incredibly enthralling and inspirational film this was. I can see why JK Simmons won an Oscar for his part in it, he was such a ****ing bastard and played it perfectly! The character of Andrew was fleshed out well enough and was very likeable too. The ending was fitting and i'm glad it didn't end how most would expect it to, with Andrew getting the girl, so it was pretty realistic in that sense. Even if you're not a big music fan i'd still recommend you give this a watch.

[Withano]

Hurricane Bianca starring Bianca Del Rio ( a film about a guy who gets fired from hos teaching job, so comes back with a vegence as their drag queen self) its as bad as it sounds and i loved it.

Arrival

At first upon completion I was left confused... so I reread the plot and put the dots together. I don't know if I just wasn't paying enough attention but without reading up the plot afterwards, I'd have left the cinema feeling... :shrug: eh.

Themes it touched upon felt a bit "LeatherTrumpet would hate this" (ie. imploring the world to communicate for the common good, rather than listen to the wackjob on the public radio urging everyone to shoot it down)... concept of Whorfianism is fascinating and not something I was particularly aware of (but have previously considered in my own limited way when learning other languages :laugh:)... and then a nice bit of time travel/destiny/"would you still have a baby if you knew it would die of cancer before it reached adulthood?" stuff.

Only thing is I felt this was all deliberately so vague that there was little emotional thrust behind the film, so I can't say I was hooked through anything other than the tension (which was, admittedly, rather well done). Its deliberate moves not to go all typical sci-fi as well in that the opening of the film is Adams' character just walking past all of the gawking news coverage, when one would expect an alien invasion film to begin all "DOWNTOWN TOKYO. ENTER: ****ING MASSIVE SPACESHIP. CITIZENS RUN AROUND SCREAMING. TAXI CRASHES AND FLIPS." etc. It was a very isolationist film that really played well into the story of Adams' character's paranoia and doubts.

I'd give it an 8 or a 9... undecided. Left the film wanting to know more about it and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

[Jason.]

Moonlight (2016) - 8/10

Finally got around to seeing this. All three segments intertwined very well I thought and I enjoyed them all, the adolescence segment in particular was my favourite. I liked the adulthood segment too


The scene that sticks with me is when he goes to visit Paula and that overwhelming exchange between them before he forgives her. The haunting sadness made that scene all the more stronger I thought.

On the other hand, I was expecting a bit more from the ending? I was hoping Chiron would come out of selling drugs and do something else with his life or something along the lines of that, but I can kinda forgive it because its such a well-made film.

Overall, it's a solid film in every aspect really. The cast and acting were fantastic, shout-out to the stunning cinematography too.

[Niamh.]

Manchester by the Sea - loved this movie, i'm a big fan of Casey Affleck, he's a far better actor than Ben imo 9/10

[Shaun]

Just watched it too Niamh and it was pretty faultless. Only bad thing I can say about it is that the end came out of nowhere and I was left with the sense of "...THAT CAN'T BE IT?"

I wanted to see the next 34 years!!! It was great. Went into it without knowing anything about the plot so the heaviness of it caught me by surprise. I'd give it a 10 just because I can't fault it (and I'm generous with rankings apparently)

[Jason.]

Ooh Manchester by the Sea is on my watchlist. I'll watch it in the next few days.

The Girl on the Train (2016) - 8/10

I was worried I wouldn't enjoy this and I thought it was rather slow at first but it picked up towards the end. Emily Blunt :clap2:

Contraband (2011)

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
7/10 > when I first saw this 13 years ago I thought it was rubbish, but it was no way near as bad as I originally thought

The Last Airbender (2010)
7/10 > I know it's silly but I was entertained, can't believe this was rated one of the worst films of 2010 I've seen a lot worse than this

Planes 2: Fire & Rescue (2014)
7/10 > decent sequel but it just felt like the same as the first, but this time Dusty was a fire & rescue plane instead of a racing plane

[King Gizzard]

La la land

Had low expectations of it not being my thing. Enjoyed it though. Saw a lot of criticism about there being no songs that you'll remember which is pretty true I guess but weirdly I don't think it relied or had to rely on them. Was really funny which I wasn't expecting either. It was really pleasant and will probably go down as one of the greats... I still preferred Manchester though

9/10. Would have got a 10 but I am a sucker for a happy ending

[King Gizzard]

Then again Manchester's ending wasn't exactly happy so

Does this count as a spoiler? I'm sorry

Kubo & the Two Strings - lovely. Animation was fascinating and pretty much as magical as the stories it told. Think I read it was a directorial debut which is astounding given how accomplished and put-together it was. Quite a similar to style to Coraline (just seen he was an animator on that), which I liked stylistically but didn't enjoy the story too much. This was ten times the movie that was. I'd give it a 9/10 but I'd be wondering why I hadn't given it a 10.

Then watched Patriots Day... eh I dunno I felt two ways about it being made at all. Still too recent, perpetrator's still alive, and the director's previous work didn't instill a lot of hope (Hancock, Battleship)... plus there's the fact I cannot stand either Mark Wahlberg or Kevin Bacon... so I had quite a lot of bias against it before I'd even seen it. And there wasn't too much to change my mind. It felt needlessly exploitative (why fictionalise a main character? Why make a movie to honour Boston's heroism with a made-up lead?), the action sequences were too dizzying to leave behind anything actually captivating (it felt a little like watching Cloverfield sometimes, which worked in Cloverfield because of its camera style and tied into its fictional/mystery theme, but here was just confusing and loud noise)... I would say in its defense that I can't say I've seen a film like it before. Its audacity at depicting so many grim realities of very recent events is...if distasteful, quite shocking. And it's well acted by some of its minor cast, the effects are frighteningly realistic, and it could've gone down a sugar-coated Michael Bay route, but chose not to... but whatever routes it took weren't good enough to excuse what is in my opinion a pretty tasteless film. I'd give it a 4/10.

[Niamh.]

The great Wall - Meh it was a pretty mediocre to bad action movie and I was so distracted by Matt Damons accent the whole way through, what on earth was it supposed to be? It sounded like maybe some sort of a Scandinavian accent that broke into an Irish one every so often, I googled it afterwards and all I could get is "European" umm ok 4.5/10

La La Land

Words can not describe how much I hated this film, I don't understand why it was so lauded. It's awfully dated, terribly written and the songs are complete and utter ****. The storyline is as cliched as they come and the performances were mediocre at best. It was just trash, complete and utter trash.

Easily the worst 'Oscar' film I've ever seen. Despised every moment of it's hackneyed ass.

I won't give it a score since there's not a score low enough to accurately describe the contempt I have for this film.

[Tom4784]

Moana

I loved it, It's not up there with Disney's best but it's a charming film with a mostly great soundtrack and one of the most likable princesses yet. I loved the visuals and my main complaint is that it could have done with being a little bit shorter, Some parts dragged a bit too much. Aside from that though, I think it's another great example of Disney's recent renaissance when it comes to animated films in general.

9/10

[Tom4784]

Dr. Strange

Loved the concept of it and the way they presented magic and I thought the film was enjoyable enough but it has all the same problems that nearly every Marvel film has, it ultimately has the same sarcastic tone that all Marvel films have regardless of setting or themes, the villain is simply an obstacle and not a character (Which is criminal in this case considering they wasted Mads Mikkelson on such a **** throwaway character) and a pointless love interest (Rachel McAdams is similarly wasted).

I also hate how Mordo simply turned into a villain at the drop of a hate, it was just so badly handled. It should have been a gradual process for him to descend into villainy not a nosedive.

Overall it's a good enough film but Marvel's tropes hold it back.

50 Shades Darker

Wife saw it at the cinema with friends and then from the description, I had to see it...

8/10 absolutely hilarious. Genuinely one of the funniest films I've seen in ages. The storyline is preposterous where it even exists, the acting is horrendous across the board, and it unironically uses the line "I'm not putting that in my butt! :( ". It jumps around from random scene to random scene and nothing actually happens at all, and then there's a helicopter crash near the end, and it just randomly occurs after a completely unrelated scene, and then everything is resolved and fine literally 3 minutes later :joker:. COMPLETELY bizarre and pointless. Also the sex is all tame and vanilla except there's occasionally a blindfold involved and mild spanking. Oh and he gets her to draw around his moobs with lipstick to show her "his boundaries". Gold.

It's especially annoying since I think Sunny Pawar deserved an actor nomination over Dev Patel, and I think the younger Chiron in Moonlight deserved a nomination too. Certainly over Mahershala Ali, who was in the movie for all of 3 minutes.

Blood Father - Pretty cheesy with bad acting but it was still kind of entertaining :laugh: hhhmm I'll give it 6/10

[Braden]

Just came back from watching Moonlight at the cinema. I really liked it.

I thought the transition from teenager to adult was quite strange, as I thought they did a good job of getting realistic actors from child to teenager. The moment between adult-Chiron and Kevin felt quite dettached from the rest of the film because of the choice of actors.

I would have liked to have seen more of Chiron's father-figure too. I was quite surprised that most of the film was centred around his sexuality and feelings towards Kevin. I was expecting more aside from that. It wasn't a detriment to the film at all though.

8/10

[Adamw92]

Beauty and the Beast (2017) - I absolutely loved it. It really captures the magic of the animation while bringing the characters to life in live action. I found myself smiling from start to finish. I honestly want to go see it again asap.

[Tom4784]

Beauty and the Beast

I'd say it's nearly as good as the original, There's a few things that are worse than the original (mostly the new takes on the classic songs) but there's also a lot of things it does better like the relationship between Belle and the Beast is better realised here and the characterisation in general is better. I also like that they fixed some of the original's more infamous plot holes (albeit it clumsily at times)

My more spoiler-y thoughts are


- The Enchantress's presence beyond the opening was unneeded, she didn't need to appear at the end and she shouldn't have been redeemed. I always considered her to be the second villain in the original and redeeming her felt odd considering how much more vicious her curse is in the remake, she literally sentences the servants to oblivion, she shouldn't get to be the hero in the end. I think the justification for why the servants were cursed was a little weak too.

- Loved the new songs, particularly Evermore. The new takes on old songs felt weak for the most part though. 'Belle' was pretty fantastic but the rest were sadly middling. 'Gaston' in particular was atrocious.

- I really loved the added backstories and some of the changes they made. Making Belle the inventor was a great move and they generally did a good job of modernising the Belle character. I have mixed feelings on Le Fou though, I did like how he was basically in love with his straight best friend and stuck because he knew there couldn't be anything there, that was very relatable, but I hated how they went a bit overboard to redeem him and the 'exclusively gay moment' was blown out of proportion. Also yay for Disney for having it's first interracial kiss (quite outrageous it's taken this long but better late than never I guess.)

- They did a good job of making the village seem like an awful place to live when, at worst in the original they were just a bit simple. When they destroyed her washing machine because she tried to teach the little girl how to read </3.


Overall though, I really loved it.

9/10

Yeah saw beauty and the beast last night best film I have seen in ages I'm going back in a few weeks to watch it in 3D this time it's so so good!!

Fences - Brilliant acting, brilliant script, loved it 9/10

[Niamh.]

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.

:laugh:

I loved it

I like the way it did kind of the opposite in regards to Troy than what usually happens. Like you start off thinking he's a good guy really but he had a hard life and he can't express himself properly, i was fully expecting him to reconnect with Corey and sign the forms etc but no turns out he's a total c* *t after all. But yeah I really enjoyed the dialogues and the simplicity of it all. Denzel and Viola are amazing actors too

ETA : I don't understand why Viola Davis was nominated as "supporting" actress in this, surely she should have been nominated in the Best Actress category?

[jennyjuniper]

Europa Report. I love sci fi and this one was good. Not one of the all time greats, but worth watching.

[Niamh.]

Collateral Beauty - it was pretty predicatable and a bit meh 6/10

[James]

There was genuine expression and acting ability not just a kid who can't act playing a kid like you get in most movies, it's crazy

I think the Academy are often reluctant to nominate kids, it's a lot of pressure to put on them.

I kind of think it is because most of the Academy voters are actors, and if they nominate children, it makes it look like acting isn't the demanding and difficult skill that a lot people think it is, and anyone could do it.

I remember it being said that the girl who played Newt in Aliens hadn't done any acting of any description before - they specifically cast her ahead of trained child actors because of that - and she is completely convincing in the role.

[Niamh.]

Collateral Beauty - it was pretty predicatable and a bit meh 6/10

actually the more I think about it, it was worse than 6/10, I'm going to make it a 4/10 Such a waste of good actors, it was cheesy and pretentious

ETA :

Movie Spoiler :

The two twists were ridiculously predictable, I got the wife twist the minute he started talking to her and same with the mysterious woman in the hospital twist........yawn

[Shaun]

Gold

Felt a bit like it was trying to follow the Scorsese formula and didn't really work - whether that's the fault of the director or the story. I enjoyed it somewhat but it was very much a pale imitation of better movies. 6/10

[Tom4784]

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

SO PROBLEMATIC.

The film itself is fine, it's a bit hollow in comparison to the original films since it downplays a lot of those film's philosophies but it looks pretty and it's watchable.

The whitewashing however is unforgivable though especially considering that ScarJo isn't just playing an american version of a japanese character, her character is ACTUALLY japanese in this version too and her name is revealed to be Mokoto Kusanagi like in the original and it's just uncomfortable.

5/10

[Niamh.]

Europa Report. I love sci fi and this one was good. Not one of the all time greats, but worth watching.

I watched this the other night actually after reading your review as I like Sci Fi myself.

I almost turned it off in the first 10 minutes because the way it was filmed was kind of odd and I didn't like it but it got better and ended up enjoyable enough. I'll give it a 6/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

Fantastic 4 (2015)

what did you think? I could never get into it

[James]

I think I quite liked it, but then again I found the boys to be a bit annoying at various stages.

I found the ending to be emotional - I actually did when I watched that part before without seeing the whole film. I know some people have said it is unrealistic.

The film is well shot also, and looks good.

[LukeB]

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - 8/10

I prefer Harry Potter but this film is amazing! Eddie is great

[Calderyon]

Logan (2017)

Pretty good movie and a fairly proper way to end the X-Men movies saga. 8.5/10

[Calderyon]

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

I guess it was fine. Disliked the ending somewhat unless it means there are more coming, which is not happening, since this was the last one. It this was supposed to be the last one, everyone alive from the previous movies should have been featured (Where were Chris, Jill and Leon?) and Alice should have died imo. And Wesker was too much of a p***y in this one, a huge disappointment. Might have forgotten someone, but anyway. Now that i think of it, the movie was a bit of a disappointment. 3.0/5

[y.winter]

Hidden Figures is fantastic. A real inspiring story (+ it has Octavia Spencer, so what more could you ask for?). Watch it. :flutter:

[Niamh.]

Passengers - I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Gav told me it was crap so I was expecting it to be a lot worse :laugh: 6.5/10

[Livia]

Magical Beats and Where to Find Them. It was okay. Felt like JK Rowling's attempt to more engage the USA with the whole Magical thing. It was engaging enough, the effects were good and although I like Eddie Redmayne, I do find the 'awkward, little boy lost' persona he adopts in almost everything, a little bit annoying.

6/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Assassin (1993)
8/10 > entertaining & better than I remembered

John Carter (2012)
7/10 > Overlong but moderately entertaining throughout, in a way I'm glad it flopped because we don't need anymore John Carter films it ended just fine

[Niamh.]

Life - It was pretty good 7/10

I was glad they killed off Ryan Reynolds early, I find him so annoying. Every character he plays lately may as well be Deadpool. The smart arse wise cracker role is wearing thin

This is hands down my favourite film at the moment, best film they have done together and I literally laughed from start to finish!

I watched Nerve last night with Emma Roberts, good film, slightly far fetched but good premise and something to think about.

[Niamh.]

Split - It was pretty good, James McAvoy did a great job playing all those personalities 7/10

[Deirdre]

Manchester By The Sea, I really wanted to like it but I didn't. Found it very boring and couldn't give sympathy to the protagonist for what he did. Not a bad portrayal of depression though. 5/10

20th Century Women - It was an odd kind of a film, there wasn't really a storyline, just kind of a few months in the life of a teenage boy but it was still really enjoyable 7/10

The script was crap and I never really felt like I got to know the characters or cared too much about them, actually the only one I did like was Juan and

they killed him off screen with no explantion or grieving or anything, surely that should have been important because of his relationship with Chiron.

The first 3rd of the film actually wad the best, the youngest Chiron was the best

Cold in July - It was watchable but the plot made very little sense 5.5/10

Hidden Figures - Great movie, it would make you embarrassed to believe that people behaved that way in the very recent past though 8.5/10

[user104658]

I, Daniel Blake - 7/10.

I don't wanna talk about it, me and Kizzy got in a rl rl bad fight about it :(. I was mean about Daniel Blake and she fancies him or something, I can't remember exactly why it got so heated.

There's a thread if anyone wants to know my reasoning for the pretty average rating :joker:.

[Niamh.]

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.



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

Get Out - 8.5/10 - Really enjoyable, creative idea, and great lead performance from Daniel Kaluuya. Near enough everyone from the original Skins crew are big stars now.

Aftermath - 5/10. - Pretty good seeing Arnie in a serious role and the first half of the film was very good, got a bit dull after that though.

Logan - 8/10. - Probably the best superhero film of recent times, only TDK trilogy are better.

Some cool scenes and the cast was great as always but I feel like this one was just too far fetched... yes, even more so than the first 7. They're usually about heists/stopping a criminal enterprise but this one was eseentially about stopping a world war. Didn't really work for me, despite still being enjoyable.

King Arthur

Went in thinking it was going to be horrendous because of the reviews, but was surprised. I enjoyed it. Sort of like Lord of the Rings meets a Guy Ritchie London gangster movie, funny in parts. David Beckham's cameo was rubbish though and I reckon that's why it's got some of the bad reviews even though he's in it for about a minute I doubt people have it much chance after that, the film didn't need it for the promo and it backfired

Loads of cgi which I usually don't like but I didn't mind it so much in this because you just have to not judge it as a normal serious movie. Reckon it will be a cult classic in about 10 years, kind of hope there's a sequel but their won't be seeing how much it failed at the box office

I'd go 8/10. Doesn't deserve the low turnout it's received

I did really enjoy it but I thought the pacing was off slightly? Most Marvel films have a really good "flow" to them. I don't know if maybe it was running long so they had to make some cuts? e.g. Batman vs Superman cinema cut suffered the same problems with jumping between scenes, and most of that was much improved in the director's cut (which added about 35 mins to the run time...).

I actually thought the main issue was the inclusion of Nebula, she felt shoehorned in (there literally is no plot point she's involved in that couldn't have been done more or less exactly the same without her) and, perhaps, the effort to include her is what made it feel over-cluttered? The sisters are important to the overarching Thanos storyline and so they sort of had to include her to further that for later films... but I think that was potentially a drain on this one as an individual movie. The focus would have been better if it was kept on the main plot elements: Starlord / Ego, Starlord / Yondu. There were already plenty of more relevant side-stories with Drax / Mantis, Starlord / Gamora and Rocket / Yondu.

Plus Baby Groot stole the show and the mid-credits scene shows that he's gone now :bawling:. (If you didn't stay for it - it showed Starlord having a disagreement with a sarcastic teenage-Groot).

I demand more Baby Groot :fist:

A Monster Calls - Oh god, I have no idea how to rate this, it was really good i suppose but holy crap it was depressing also, I don't know whether I enjoyed it or not 7/10

John Wick 2 - Really good action, love Keanu in that type of role too 7.5/10

Saw the first John Wick and it was brilliant!

[Livia]

LA LA LAND. I loved it. It was like a trip back to old Hollywood but set in current times.
9/10

[Shaun]

The Girl on the Train.

Emily Blunt aside it was bloody rubbish. Should never have changed the setting. The book was compelling, this was just ridiculous. 3/10 for Emily's performance and nothing more.

[Dominic]

I watched Moonlight and it was ****ing excellent

[Niamh.]

Trainwreck - It was entertaining enough, funny in parts, a bit OTT in parts 6/10

[Niamh.]

Why Him? - It was alright 6/10

[Tom4784]

Wonder Woman

It's brilliant and it has a lot of heart that the other DCEU films lack. It's well written and Diana as a character is well realised, I honestly believe that Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is more true to the spirit of the character than most comic book versions of the past few years.

Gal Gadot (and Wonder Woman) was the MVP of Batman vs Superman and it's no different here. If Warner Bros are smart, they'll centre future DC films around Wonder Woman because Snyder's Superman is a robot and they've already ruined Batman by making him a killer.

My only issue with the film is that the villains are a bit underdeveloped which is a real shame as the conflict of WW1 is really well done but the villains were just kind of there but it doesn't really affect the film much in all honesty.

DC need to lock down Patty Jenkins to direct other DC films because she's the cure to the Snyderitis that's tainted the DCEU.

9/10

Clueless - 9/10

I have never seen this film before or know the plot about it. I thought this was going to be a typical high school mean girl film but it was the opposite. But it was a great movie and Cher is a icon

Aww I love that movie :love:

[LukeB]

Aww I love that movie :love:

I do too, i'm glad i finally got to watch it and knew nothing about it so i can be surprised on what is going on.

[Lee.]

The second Pirates of the Caribbean movie.. thought it was guff compared to the first one but girl child wants me to watch all of them before we go to cinema to see new one.

Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow is just amazing though. :)

[Niamh.]

Pitch Perfect 1 and 2 back to back - I enjoyed them, I'll rate them together because it was like one long movie :laugh: 7.5/10

Lol Johnny Depp had me laughing all the way through this movie :joker:

Hush - 9/10

Amazing film that centers its self around a deaf character

[Benzient-XXVII]

No Escape (2014) :love:
10/10 > liked when the action started almost immediately,very tense I was on tenter hooks all the way through

Crawl (2011)
4/10 > the villain was a boring weirdo who was as menacing as a knife taped to a Cat's tail

Ejecta (2013)
1/10 > words fail me how awful this was :facepalm:, I didn't have a clue what was going on? and by the looks of things the ''actors'' didn't have a clue either, badly acted and so boring ZZZZZ

[Niamh.]

Wonder Woman - Brilliant, had just the right amount of humour I think, as much as I liked Suicide Squad it was a little try hard with the humour, this one was perfect 8.5/10

The Man from Uncle - Not great, I normally like Guy Ritchie but his style didn't work well in this film, also Henry Cavil is a terrible actor imo so wooden with zero charisma 3/10

[King Gizzard]

Apocalypto - decent

7-10

Although at the end I strongly doubt you can give birth like that??

[King Gizzard]

we have that compare the market two for one thing and we were thinking about seeing wonder woman. I'm not really into superhero films but I wondered if anyone would still recommend it..

[Tom4784]

It's really good, it's not really a superhero film tbh. I'd recommend it.

[Niamh.]

Go see it Nathan, it's really good

[King Gizzard]

yeah that was quite good, but I agree with Dezzy about the villains. The two Germans were really corny as well, they reminded me of Dastardly and Muttely ''That gas mask won't work!'' ''They don't know that!'' *evil laugh*

but that aside I'd give it an 8/10

[Mystic Mock]

Pandemic - I know it's had some bad reviews, but overall I thought the action was solid in the Film, the plot made sense, and they did some nice scenery shots at nightime when the level 5 Zombies came out. Although I'd have taken out some of the sappy Drama nearer the end of the Film. Overall I'll score the Film a 7.5/10

[Jian Yang]

Don't Go In The House - 1980 - 6.5/10.

Not a bad movie, made famous for being on the infamous Video Nasties list in the 1980's. Making it my mission to watch all the movies on the famed DPP 72 list. Watched around 30 so far.

[Niamh.]

Beauty and The beast - Aww I loved it, Emma watson :love: 8/10

[King Gizzard]

Beauty and The beast - Aww I loved it, Emma watson :love: 8/10

I had a sort of morbid curiosity to see that but I can't stand Emma Watson when she's not in HP films

She nearly ruined Perks of Being a Wallflower

[Niamh.]

She's a good Belle, not worlds away from Harmione

[Smithy]

Hush - 9/10

Amazing film that centers its self around a deaf character

such a good film

[user104658]

She's a good Belle, not worlds away from Harmione
Yep, Hermione and the Beast :joker:.

[King Gizzard]

Swiss Army Man

Man on an island tries to get home with the help of a dead Daniel Radcliffe who can talk

You really have to see it tbh there'll never be another film like it. I don't even know if I enjoyed it. Some great acting and emotional bits but it doesn't make any sense. Bit childish in parts. Toilet humour every other sentence.

Love the soundtrack

7.5/10

[Niamh.]

The Mummy - not great tbh 5/10

[Jamie89]

Wonder Woman, really enjoyed it! A lot more than I expected to actually. Everything worked, the humour/action, and Gal Gadot was excellent in the role.

we have that compare the market two for one thing and we were thinking about seeing wonder woman. I'm not really into superhero films but I wondered if anyone would still recommend it..

I'm not into them either but I still enjoyed it (like Dezzy said it's not really a typical superhero film).

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 2 (2015)
8/10 > slow first half then it picked up and by the time it did it was over too quickly but at least it was better than part 1

13Hrs (2009)
7/10 > entertaining Werewolf flick but it's more of the same really

Scream Park (2016)
3/10 > frustrating because this could have been decent if it wasn't for the bad acting dumb decisions, shame because I really liked the idea of it and atmosphere but it just poorly made

[Niamh.]

Gifted - I really liked it and that little girl is a really good actress 8/10

[Jason.]

The Belko Experiment - 7.5/10

Really enjoyed this, reminded me of Battle Royale.

[Jian Yang]

Commando 8.5/10

Loved it when i was young, love it now.

[y.winter]

Wonder Woman one week ago and it was quite good. The exposition could've been shorter. Gal is lovely :love:

[Benzient-XXVII]

Sausage Party (2016) :love:
10/10 > depending on what kind of humor you like, you either are gonna love or hate this, I loved it because the orgy scene at the end killed me :D I was still laughing after watching it :D

The Shallows (2016)
8/10 > first off I hate Sharks so this wasn't an easy watch, surprising entertaining for just set in one spot and barely anyone else for body count

Bad Neighbors 2 (2016)
8/10 > good sequel but something was lacking not sure what, it was pretty much a carbon copy of the first film but not as good

Night Of The Living Dead Re-Animated (2012)
4/10 > hardy anything happened

[James]

Edge of Tomorrow - really enjoyed this film (Tom Cruise is brilliant as always!) 8/10



As soon as i read on a review that it was a mix between Groundhog Day and Starship Troopers i was sold, Tom Cruise is an amazing actor.

Edge of tomorrow is really good, I agree Ruby, I love the whole groundhog dayy thing

Edge of Tomorrow - 7/10 - A nice surprise, so much better than the trailers made it look. Great action film with loads of humour and Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt were excellent together.


I just watched this again, or Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow as it seems to be called now. I enjoyed it - would give it 7 or 8 out of ten.

Maybe I should have watched something I hadn't seen before though.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Lego Scooby-Doo: Haunted Hollywood (2016) :love:
10/10 > definitely the best straight to dvd entry in the SD mysteries so far, Rikes Zoinks Jeepers Jinkies are all to be had

The Jungle Book (2016)
9/10 > surprisingly great considering I hated the Disney cartoon version, they need to make more LIVE action versions of other Disney films IMO

The Experiment (2010)
4/10 > a bit dull and not what I was expecting at all

[Niamh.]

Cardboard Gangsters - Really good, very like Love/hate 8/10

Transformers the last knight - I enjoyed despite the bad reviews, bit too long though - 6.5/10

[Locke.]

Wonder Woman - 8.5/10 - So good I went the cinema to see it twice in the space of 4 days. Had the perfect mix of everything, a great story, strong leads with chemistry, good amount of humour, fun action scenes, and a nice twist.

Okja - 8/10 - Wasn't sure what to expect from this but it was a really enjoyable film and also pretty sad. Kind of looked like a fantasy film for kids from the posters but it's a very serious subject and definitely an adults film. Worth a watch for anyone who has Netflix.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 - 6/10 - Enjoyable action film but I didn't like it anywhere near as much as the first one. Merle getting a bigger role was great though and baby Groot is much better than regular Groot.

[Jessica.]

Transformers - The Last Knight
8/10
The story was extremely far fetched, even for a Transformers film but there was great action and good jokes, of course the autobots were lovely to see. I'd recommend it, for sure!

Going to see The Mummy tomorrow. :worry:

[Jian Yang]

Transformers the last knight - I enjoyed despite the bad reviews, bit too long though - 6.5/10

I read the reviews and just assumed it was bad. Anyway, gave it a go the other day, expecting it to bad, and it wasn't all that bad at all. I enjoyed it.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't great, but it was good enough.

Anyway last film i watched was - Scarface 1983. Been about 5 years since i last watched it, still love it!

[Deirdre]

All Eyez On Me 7/10
Really liked it. There was a lot of things that happened in 2Pac's life that I didn't know about because I was so young so I was intrigued throughout. Maybe a little bit forgettable though but certainly worth the watch.

[Smithy]

The Belko Experiment - a bit like the purge, but set in an office, I thought it was pretty good, but it felt kind of rushed towards the end, still hope they do a sequel 7/10

[Gstar]

Breakdown (1997) - Great film 8/10

[Smithy]

Okja - it starts off really light hearted but it just sort of gets darker and darker :worry: still really enjoyed it though 8/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Witch (2015)
8/10 > slow burner it was eerie in places and the ending was good

Maze Runner 2: The Scorch Trials (2015)
7/10 > nowhere near as good as the first, it just felt stop start throughout hopefully the third film will be better

They (2002)
6/10 > not Craven's best but it was decent, the actress who plays the main character was unintentionally hilarious with her OTT reactions

[Locke.]

Baby Driver - 10/10

I rarely give 10's but this film is really one of a kind. So different to anything else out there. Go see it.

[Jessica.]

Went to see The Mummy at the cinema today, I didn't pick it but I was up for it anyway. The effects were cool but the story didn't keep me engaged at all. I ended up sleeping for the last 30 minutes. :joker: I'd give a 6/10 to what I watched of it.

[Jessica.]

I also watched a couple of other films this week

Nightmare on Elm Street - 7/10
I had never seen it before, was good to finally the film that gets referenced in so many places.

Okja - 8/10
The feels. :sad:

Children of the Corn - 6/10
Another I watched just for reference, I liked it.

It would have dropped another point if you'd stayed awake to the end :laugh:

Despicable Me 3 - Loved it 8/10

Friends Wit Benefits - Cliched crap, watchable 5.5/10

The Sisterhood of the travelling Pants - I liked it 7/10

The Duff - The usual high school stuff 6/10

[Livia]

John Wick 2. Enjoyed it just as much as the first one. I want to BE John Wick. Without the penis, naturally.

9/10

[y.winter]

Gifted (2017) - just watched it now and it was quite compelling, the little girl was brilliant and it has Octavia Spencer in it, so it gets my full admiration :love: Nothing too groundbreaking or surprising plot-wise, but nevertheless a good film to watch! I recommend
