What was the last film you watched?

[Niamh.]

I just struggle with the concept of the second hunger games :joker:. Like there's the hunger games themselves, sort of makes sense. I mean not REALLY but you can suspend disbelief and get on board with the concept. And then part three (in terms of books) it makes sense that it moves on to the overall uprising, outside of the games. But for the second one it's like "Yes you're supposed to only do one hunger games and then you get to be famous and safe forever but... NO! We also have the EVEN HUNGRIER games muahahaha". I mean story wise they could literally have skipped from the first Hunger Games to the rebellion in the third and it would be exactly the same :think:.

Well it made some sort of sense because A - it was the 75th Hunger Games and they do something a bit different for every 25 year marker and B it was because they knew an uprising was brewing that they wanted katniss and the trouble makers back in there to make an example of them/kill them and stop the rebellion from starting

Well yeah, the second part of that is true, they (the fictional bad guys and ALSO the author of the story) wanted the heroes back in a Hunger Games environment for the second book... but it would take a lot of convincing for me to believe that the "Quarter-Quell" was part of the writer's original concept of the Games, and not a pretty convenient Deus Ex Machina invented later in order to over-ride the whole "if you're picked and win then you're safe" rule... especially as that rule was made quite clear in the initial description of how it all worked. They would have had to at least mention the Quarter Quell in the first book if it was an established part of the lore... especially if that was meant to be "year 24". They would all have been talking about it, surely :think:. And that's sort of what I'm talking about I guess: new aspects of the "story world" suddenly cropping up later in the story, where you can't go back and say "oooh yeah, this was hinted at earlier!". That's what makes it feel "cardboard-cutout-like". The world shifting to fit the story, rather than the world simply existing for stories to take place in.

In fact the MOST awesome ones are when you think something has been done like that at first, and then you go back and re-read / re-watch earlier stuff and realise that hints were being dropped the whole time :omgno:. That's good writing. With the opposite being the ultimate offense: setting something up as a "rule" and then just totally ignoring it later when it suits :hmph:. The best example I can think of of that is the newest Terminator (thankfully, it's being over-written!)... where it was made VERY clear that in Terminator time travel rules, you can ONLY travel BACKWARDS in time, doing so creates a whole new timeline and the previous one ceases to exist, and that's how they avoided time travel paradox. Forward time travel just wasn't a thing. And then all of a sudden, they make a PG-13 sequel where Sarah Targeryen and Bro Kyle Reese hop in a time machine in the 80's and end up in something like 2014. NO. ... ... ... .. ...

:laugh2:

Yeah look I do agree with you but I just think that THGs did it the best out of those 3 trilogies which are all similar in alot of ways, that's why I'm comparing them.

Oh since you like all that time travel stuff, have you watched 12 Monkeys the TV series? That's so good at linking such a complicated series of events and definitely one to re watch when it's over with new eyes

"Gifted" starring Captain America, some little smart girl, and Mona-Lisa from Parks 'n' Rec

He's her uncle, she's a 7 year old genius, her mum killed herself and left her with him as a baby, he's been home schooling her then she goes off to school, they realise she's a genius, Uncle America's stern British mother enters the picture and wants to "take" her now that she knows she's a genius (turns out the dead sister was also a genius and ended up killing herself because strict British mum didn't let her have a normal life). So basically Captain Uncle wants the little girl to achieve her potential but also get to have a normal childhood (whilst also banging her teacher), while Granny wants to kill her cat and make her do maths all day (and thinks that Uncle has a crappy lifestyle, as he used to be a Philosophy professor but now is a boat mechanic). Custody battle ensues.

...It was actually a decent enough watch, tear-jerky at times... only 90 mins long so doesn't drag out or anything... an enjoyable hour and a half. It seems pretty low budget though? Almost like those films you used to get on Channel 5 daytime TV :think:. I can only guess it was a pet project for Chris Evans since the entire budget for the film is probably less than what he got paid for Civil War :joker:. That said all of the acting is decent, or at least, Uncle Chris is good in a different role, the little girl is also very good... the teacher is passable. The British mum is a bit of a silly stereotype tbh. There aren't really any other characters.

I'll give it 6.9/10. Nice way to spend an evening, nothing ground-breaking, but short and sweet (they kept "courtroom scenes" to a bare minimum, when similar movies have a tendency to drag things out far too long).

Having read it back, I feel like I need to clarify that it's Chris Evans, not the smart little girl, who is trying to bang the school teacher. :umm2:

I loved that film :love:

Hello, My Name is Doris - great "little" film. The actress in the lead role is brilliant and the story is overall very compelling. Nice film for a lazy weekend's afternoon.

...Blade Runner, the original 1982...just re-visited ready to watch the 2017 Blade Runner...still just as absorbing as I recalled it to be and still an 8/10...

[Benzient-XXVII]

Sisters (2015)
9/10 > very funny in places but when the party started it went a tiny bit flat but Tina Fey & Amy Poehler are great together tho

Bridgette Jones: The Edge Of Reason (2004)
8/10 > Second viewing (I think) but it's not quite as good as the first one but it was better on the second viewing so I enjoyed it

^says it all

Objectively I'd probably just give this a 9/10 but right now it's a definite 10 and I'm going to bed and hugging a pillow.

[user104658]

"Mother". ****ing bizarre. I also managed to not quite get what was actually going on until very near the end, which made me feel retrospectively stupid. And then once I did get it... I thought it was over the top.

I can appreciate the attempt to make something a bit out there, but I found the actual execution of that vision a bit sloppy and heavy-handed. 5.8/10. Cinematically it's not as bad as some people make out, but I do get why a lot of people struggle with it.

I also kinda think J-Law was totally miscast tbh.

You did better than I did, I didn't know wtf it was all about until I googled it afterwards, terrible film. I think J-Law was miscast because she's too good for a pile of s**t like that

[user104658]

Honest to god didn't get it until he said "I HAVE TO CREAAATE!!" and then I was like "Ohhh, he's God and she's Gaia, right."

The reason I felt stupid was that the ham-fisted Kain and Abel brothers suddenly became so obvious that I couldn't figure out why I hadn't realised before.

That said, on reflection I actually think that the entire biblical aspect itself is just a metaphor, and what it's essentially about it is "a man with a god complex", rather than an actual biblical parable. His first work was supposedly amazing and he thinks a lot of himself for it, he worships himself almost, he's more energised by his "massive fans" than he is by his relationship (they are what inspire him to write his "new testament"). The baby is a representation of Jesus, but then on the other hand, you can bring that back down to the human level: He wants to have this baby, but then he's more concerned with showing that baby off to the world than anything else. The baby in the film is killed, but specifically, they "break and consume", the metaphor being that his child does NOT literally die... but has a childhood so affected by his father's fame and being adored that he is left "a broken adult" consumed by a supposedly adoring public.

J-Law (his wife) gets "mauled and exposed" by the public which you could take as a media allegory? And all the while, the husband acts like he cares and loves her (and is upset for the child) but still believes it necessary and still essentially is selfish and self-adoring. The question is asked, "Why not just build a whole new house?" (have a different life) but the answer is that "this is his home". In the end she tears the whole thing down (leaves him, probably taking the child) but is left "burnt out" and bruised, and "leaves her heart behind". She tries to burn down "his house" on the way out, but the next day there's a new partner waking up in his bed, ready to rebuild his house for him, whilst he carries on as before.

All of the biblical imagery then is basically because HE sort of sees himself as God; and possibly, she does too. She loves his writing but he thinks of it as biblical in importance... she isn't enough for him and he thrives on the more shallow adoration of his fans.


In concept I actually do really like it, and visually it's exceptionally well done... it's just that, somehow, at the same time it kind of frustratingly misses the mark? :shrug:

I also can't figure out what the yellow dust is all about. In literal terms it's obviously supposed to be anxiety medication, but I don't know what the metaphorical link is, if there is one, and it seems weird and out of place if there isn't.

[Niamh.]

Reading your thoughts on it were better than the actual movie :laugh:

No idea about that yellow dust either though

Kingman - The Golden Circle.

3 Billboards - I was actually ready to dislike it, being both American and Oscar hyped (which quite proved to be an awful combination for my taste). However it was pretty good, good main character and actress and I liked the fact that the story begins somewhat in the middle of the affairs, rather then dwelling on the rape incident.

[Ammi]

..Blade Runner 2049...I liked it much more than my recent re-watch of the first one, it was a good and interesting movie...but I probably need to watch it again though, I think it’s just one of those movies that need a second take in case a few bits haven’t fully absorbed with the first take, it’s quite easy to miss bits when you go to get a drink or biscuits or something...8/10..

[Benzient-XXVII]

Daddy's Home (2015)
9/10 > some laugh out moments to keep the time ticking away, can't wait for the sequel

Dog Soldiers (2002)
9/10 > still great werewolf gore fest and one of the best werewolf films I've seen so far, shame the sequel never materialised but I still hope for it to happen

I Hate Valentine's Day (2009)
7/10 > thought it was going to be a cringey romantic drivel but the surprise was the woman hates romance which was refreshing, enjoyed it more then expected and it was funny in places

[Tom4784]

The Shape of Water

I really liked it, I think it drags a bit too much in the middle and the ending is WAY too rushed as a result but Guillermo Del Toro's finally back on form and I'm here for it. I'm surprised Sally Hawkins didn't get more recognition in the awards season for a Best Actress nod.

8/10

..Girl With All the Gifts..8/10..Melanie..:lovedup:...


...I started off thinking I wasn’t going to like the movie..because of how quick the zombies were...that wasn’t meant to be how zombies are..:laugh:..they’re painfully slow, dragging and shuffling their feet along so that Rick and co can easily avoid them...before this concept in the movie, I had never considered super fast zombies...anyway, I started to love it all a little way through and a very good movie and story..Melanie was right of course, it could never have been any other way or outcome...humans without the disease could never have survived, the only possibility was of the ‘new breed’...excellent movie...:love:..

:omgno: have you never seen 28 Days Later / 28 Weeks Later? 28 Days Later especially is a brilliant film... And one of (if not the?) first to introduce the "fast zombies" concept. I insist you must watch it Ammi.

[Babayaro.]

The Girl With All The Gifts is a fantastic movie :clap1:

As is 28 Days/Weeks Later, like TS said

[Ammi]

:omgno: have you never seen 28 Days Later / 28 Weeks Later? 28 Days Later especially is a brilliant film... And one of (if not the?) first to introduce the "fast zombies" concept. I insist you must watch it Ammi.

...no, they’re both those must see movies that I haven’t got around to watching yet...i’m the only one in my family who hasn’t watched them yet...in thinking about it though...I have watched World War Z and wasn’t that super quick zombies...?...I’d just forgotten because I haven’t watched many zombie movies since The Walking Dead years...and those are so slow...also there is a Wii game I’ve played a lot...not now but back in the day...House of the Dead Overkill..and those zombies were very quick...they really tested the trigger finger and reloading techniques....so yes, I completely lied..I am familiar with super quick zombies..:laugh:...



...mind you, I love all things zombie related but I’m not one for gore and violence etc...I did find Melanie’s killing of the ‘alpha’ child, impossible to watch, I left the room for that bit...especially a child brutally killing another child...so that does figure also with the zombie movies I watch, or choose to...I’m not sure what the ratio of violence is in the two 28 day ones...

[Babayaro.]

There's a particularly gory scene at the end of 28 Days Later :worry:

But the person deserved it soo :hee:

[Ammi]

..I will watch them, Babsy..because I know they have great reviews...now that you’ve said it’s at the end of the movie, I can just prepare to avoid that bit..:laugh:..so thank you for that..:love:..

[user104658]

The focus of 28 Days Later is the characters, really. There is gore / violence (obviously, as it's a zombie movie!) but really, thinking about it, I'd say there are only two or three scenes in the whole movie that are particularly graphic. The entire "middle section" of the film actually has very little violence at all, more character / psychology driven.

[user104658]

..I will watch them, Babsy..because I know they have great reviews...now that you’ve said it’s at the end of the movie, I can just prepare to avoid that bit..:laugh:..so thank you for that..:love:..

Hmmmmm I would say though Ammi, that for one of the core "themes" or ideas of the film (which I can't really go into without spoilers), the scene near the end that I think is being mentioned here HAS to be watched. Hurry up and watch it and I'll say why I think so :joker:.

(So that said, while it's a hard scene to watch, it's not mindless violence... it's a pivotal character development scene)

[Niamh.]

28 days later is brilliant, 28 weeks later is 9nly ok. Also Cillian Murphy is from Cork :hee:

[Ammi]

..Wonder Woman..9/10..:lovedup:..I loved it, I loved everything about it...Gal Gadot is beautiful..:love:..she remained every essence of femininity, even while kicking all those asses around, there was no feminazi there..the perfect ‘empowerment’ of someone who happened to be female...an amazing feminism movie, not so much saving mankind but saving people kind....

[Babayaro.]

28 days later is brilliant, 28 weeks later is 9nly ok. Also Cillian Murphy is from Cork :hee:

The opening of 28 Weeks Later is brilliant

So, sort of like that really famous 80's movie about a kid who finds a young alien and has to hide it from his family and the authorities, until the alien's parents show up?

I believe it's called "Mac and Me"

Victoria & Abdul. Sumptuous, visually spectacular historical fantasy, very lightly peppered with truth. One of those films that makes me think so many people will watch it and think it's actual history. 6/10... and 5 of those 6 points are just for Judi Dench.

"The Crown" on Netflix has nestled itself in my brain as the 100% accurate history of the 20th century Royals, tbf.

Also made me sort of like Prince Philip, 'cos I find Matt Smith's Philip funny.

I've always liked Phil, the old scoundrel... And actually, they didn't do him any favours getting Matt Smith to play him. Phil was incredibly handsome as a young man and Matt has a face like a well-worn cushion.

The series Victoria that really makes me smile.... take the prettiest actress you can find and everyone will think that's who Victoria was. Film and TV programme makers should be made to produce a disclaimer at the end.

Anyhoo, off topic... moving on...

Power Rangers

i loved this movie, good special effects and lovely action scenes

[Underscore]

The Dictator - 7/10

Quite enjoyable film, not one of the best but definitely up there for comedy.

[Niamh.]

Walking Out - What a boring film, nothing happens in it, the description is misleading as well. Couldn't wait for it to end 2/10

[Shaun]

The Big Sick - thought it might be a little bit like (500) Days of Summer in terms of it having a whole group of characters that I'd end up hating, but it turned out being a little bit like (500) Days of Summer in that I loved it straight away. Can't see myself growing to hate this though. Even though I'm exasperated by Everybody Loves Raymond, I loved Romano in this and Holly Hunter as well. And there were pop-ups from all sorts of actors I recognised (Kala's dad from Sense8, Wilson Wilson from Utopia) which was initially distracting but I loved Kunail's (fictional) family too. Just a really sweet story that I thought could've gone a lot darker at many different moments. I'd give it an 8 or a 9/10.

The Florida Project - literally just finished this one and oh boy, it was intense... I get the film's commentary and it shedding light on low-income families and the desperation of motherhood in such circumstances and all that, but at the same time, the mum (Halley) is very much, arguably, in my most-hated characters of all time. Just unbelievably brash, trashy, nasty, childish, naive, dumb and hateful. At the same time it was very powerful and moving, and kept me gripped. All of the performances - child and adult - were great, and there were some funny moments, but I got the impression (mostly from Twitter SJWs :p) I was supposed to sympathise with Halley when really she was a toxic, toxic presence and very little of that can really be attributed to the welfare/employment systems (the profanity and drug use in front of her child, and violence too, her ripping off her John, generally abusing the manager's trust and patience, etc). That said, it's a great movie. I'd say an 8/10 because I felt on-guard for a lot of it.

[LaLaLand]

I, Tonya - absolutely awesome. Margot and Allison are unmissable in this, it's brilliant and well deserves the hype it is getting. I loved it!

[ethanjames]

game night; oh wow wasn't expecting this at all game night is an american comedy which is actually funny who knew??? the cast work so well together and its just fantastic it blew me away 8/10
red sparrow; a two and a half hour film of Jennifer Lawrence having sex. if that appeals to u then go for it but after like the 8th sex scene I was done especially since it romanticises rape. little to know plot and boring performances red sparrow is beyond awful 1/10

[Shaun]

Also I, Tonya - I don't really know what to think of it if I'm honest, given the nature of the film (how it depicts several conflicting points of view), but the subject is something innately intriguing. It just didn't feel like it had much of a message to it; it was just a shrug and a "Make up your own mind" sort of affair. Like, whatever directorial comment was made, seemed to just be a commentary on how the media sensationalised the story (which might not be the most coherent argument in... a biopic about it) and how America loves a hate figure.

I guess having just watched the Florida Project before this, I'm a little on-guard about people having overly-forgiving attitudes towards terrible mothers, or glancing over actual victims just to try and explain away criminal behaviour, but that film's an extreme example of it. I guess that reveals my biases :laugh: Like I got the impression the film (I, Tonya) wanted us to believe Tonya and that Jeff/Shawn/Derrick planned this and she had no part in it, and all her life she's been abused... the film did this so heavy-handedly that I guess it prompted me to just lean towards the alternative? :shrug: All while dismissing Kerrigan as stuck-up in the same breath?

I also wonder how much of a say Kerrigan had in all of this being made.

But Janney, Robbie and Stan were all great and creepy and skin-crawling and contemptuous , and I enjoyed it for what it was, so I'd give it a 7 or 8/10.

[Crimson Dynamo]

We are going to this tonight so review incoming

:dance:

[ethanjames]

its ****e but have fun I guess

[Shaun]

The Post - it was alright but I can't help but feel I've watched far more interesting political thrillers. I won't pretend to know that much about the people portrayed but it felt very much like "Meryl Streep being Meryl Streep" and I wasn't sure why she was nominated for it when, for example, either of the actresses in The Florida Project would've been more worthy (I figure Bria Vinaite is more of a supporting character, so would opt for the child actress instead as a 'lead'). I did enjoy it and it was very engrossing but it didn't really move me in any way. 7/10.

Wind River on the other hand completely floored me and is possibly one of the best thrillers I've ever watched. I'm already biased in favour of brutal crime dramas set in freezing conditions so I would strongly recommend similar fans (of say, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Killing, etc.) watch this. I didn't have a terribly high opinion of Jeremy Renner prior to this (I haven't seen The Hurt Locker, but from interviews / that awards presenting moment, I got the strong impression he was a gross sleaze. See: Mark Wahlberg.) but that's completely changed. He's stoic, poignant, dark, rootable and confusing all in the same 105 minutes. The action is pretty sudden but expected, but at the same time so visceral that it kept me hooked. Poor Jon Bernthal is doomed to be beat up in everything he does, isn't he? Elizabeth Olsen and Gil Birmingham are both fantastic in this, too. I gave it a full 10/10 on IMDb because it's just that good.

[ethanjames]

wind river is easily one of the most underrated films of the year i adored it and completely agree but i gave it a nine. the last twenty mins is one of the best twenty mins ive seen in film ever

[Livia]

Reach for the Sky. Great old British black and white film about the WW2 hero, Douglas Bader. I do love a B&W British film.... 9/10

[Shaun]

The Disaster Artist - I haven't seen all of the Room yet (although enough clips of it on YouTube at friends' houses when I was younger) so I can't say it all made sense to me but for what it was - and with a 40-50% knowledge of the film - I enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it is that I thought the ending was a bit... of a stretch. I find it hard to believe a premiere for the film would've had the audience in rapturous hysterics. I appreciate they wanted to portray it as the cult hit it is today but it was a silly ending IMO. That said, Franco was great and robbed of an Actor nod. I'd say a 7/10... it was fun but not that great. Maybe an 8 if I see the movie.

God's Own Country

it's rare that you see a queer movie with an...ahem... happy ending! That said, it's a pretty bleak and joyless experience all the same, and not one that really warmed itself to me :shrug: had too many cliches as well. The cheap meaningless revenge sex, in particular. But I guess without it there would've been no denouement so idk. Would give it the same ranking as whatever I'd give The Disaster Artist, really. A 7 or 8.

[ethanjames]

you were never really here; grim as you get them you were never really here is incredibly masterful and heartbreaking as the cinematography is to die for and the soundtrack makes the film 8/10

[Ammi]

..Boys Don’t Cry...not a true story I had known..Hilary was amazing as Brandon..:love:...it’s not a movie/story that could be enjoyed as such...so difficult to rate...heartbreaking, gruelling, absorbing...

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn (2011)
9/10 > better on the second viewing despite nodding in & out of sleep in the last 30 minutes or so, the animation is amazing and the story was great, really looking forward to the sequel

Vehicle 19 (2013)
8/10 > quite entertaining despite the action rarely leaves the vehicle thought it was quite good

Beautiful Creatures (2013)
7/10 > bought this in poundland ages ago normally they sell rubbish but this was good by their standards

Cedar Rapids (2011)
7/10 > so so comedy with Ed Helms which personally I don't find funny at all in the slightest but their were a few laughs here and there from the co stars more than the main man

Three (2005)
6/10 > boat sinks 6 people get on the life boat it capsizes in the storm but only four wash up on the island but what bothers me is why didn't Gail and the shaggy haired guy bodies wash-up on the island like the rest of them? also random items appearing out of nowhere like Kelly Brook's character Jennifer pulling out a MASSIVE hair grip out of thin air where the **** did that come from???? she didn't have it when she washed up on the island also none of the survivors show no evidence of hair growth yet apparently they've been on the island for a year LOL HILARIOUSLY BAD but watchable

[King Gizzard]

Get Out

So good, clever, more than just a horror, etc etc

Even liked it more than Three Billboards. Now understand all the disappointment when it didn’t win best film/people wanting Daniel Kaluuya to win.

9.8/10

[y.winter]

Moonrise Kingdom
again
because Wes Anderson is the best thing ever and I can't wait for Isle of Dogs :flutter:

[Benzient-XXVII]

White Chicks (2004) :love:
10/10 > I love this film so much, so funny my face is aching again after a third viewing please make a sequel Wayan brothers, we know you're thinking it but I said it LOL

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were Rabbit (2005) :love:
10/10 > haven't seen this since 2005 and I still love it shame we will probably never get a sequel or another 30 minute short

How To Be Single
8/10 > Rebel makes me laugh just by looking at her which makes this film rather amusing and a pleasant surprise

Star Trek 3:Beyond
8/10 > better than the first but not as good as the second film (into darkness) as I got a bit bored towards the end but the time flew by as it was rather entertaining

[Niamh.]

I kill Giants - hhmmm 5/10

It was pretty much the same film as A Monster Calls except a Monster calls did it way better. Now I did look it up and saw that I Kill Giants was a book that was out before a Monster Calls but it was still a better film even if it did completely steal the whole idea

[Benzient-XXVII]

Nine Lives (2016)
8/10 > man becomes a very fluffy cat called Mr Fuzzypants (LOL) after swapping bodies after an accident the usual routine purrsues

The Secret Life Of Pets (2016)
8/10 > a teenie weenie bit disappointing but at least Gidget was far less annoying than the SKY advert & the ending was sweet

Big Nothing (2006)
8/10 > seen this when it first came out on DVD but after a re-watch I completely forgot how amusing it was on another note David Schwimmer looks odd in this

[ethanjames]

wrinkle in time; though it has its heart and its intentions in the right place it ends up being a convoluted mess. too much is going on as you don't really have time to think. the scene with chris pine in the yellow triangle **** was incredible but the only good scene in the movie really

[King Gizzard]

The first Thor film

sort of enjoyed some of the characters but the whole way it was filmed and looked was ****e. Story ****e too.

6.5/10

[Ammi]

...Doctor Strange...was actually strangely enjoyable..:love:...7 and a bit/10...

[RileyH]

I, Tonya 8/10

[user104658]

Thor: Ragnarok

(Rewatch, I saw it in the cinema)

On rewatching, can confirm that I genuinely think that this is the best put together movie in the entire MCU so far. The "rock guy" still feels slightly out of place to me but otherwise it's more or less flawless :shrug:. Noticed a few things that I didn't the first time - like that Thor is close to going "electric Thor" like he does at the end when he's in the arena with Hulk, but gets shocked by the Grandmaster to stop him... so Thor actually WOULD have won the Hulk / Thor fight :think:. I don't remember it playing out that way when I saw it in the cinema, which is weird... but maybe it's just because you don't know the significance of the "glowing blue eyes" look until the end?

[ethanjames]

unsane 8/10
utterly horrifying I couldn't sleep because of it

[Tom4784]

Tomb Raider

It was....okay I guess? Alicia Vikander makes a pretty good Lara but the film is let down by it's budget and the changes to the story it's adapting just don't work. They could have just done a 1:1 take on the Reboot's story and it would have made for a good film but the changes they made to the story are actually for the worse.

It's frustrating as a fan of the games but even then, it's probably one of the better video game films.

5/10

[montblanc]

Insidious 4: The Last Key
5/10

i don’t usually jump during horror movies but i jumped a lot during this one because they would get in these scenes where everything would be dark and there would be no music :laugh: but other than small jump scares the film itself wasn’t really scary at all. It was okay and the characters were likeable. :shrug:

[Tom4784]

Ready Player One

It's excellent, it's fun, mostly well written and well acted.

One of my only issues with the film is that these teenagers from the future throw out way too many 80's references and at one point one of the characters wonders whether he should go on a date dressed like Duran Duran...it's just awkward because it doesn't fit. The other problem I had were the constant references, most of which are delightful but towards the middle, the references really start to reach until the last act in which the references become delightful again.

I've not got much else to say about it really, it's Spielberg back to doing what he does best, basically and I loved it.

9/10

[ethanjames]

uhh im gonna be in the minority here as i normally am with films but ready player one wasn't good. script felt clumpy the acting was cringy incredibly poorly structured and paced and everything felt incredibly predictable. there were also no characters or a lack of characterisation. the fight scenes looked good but honestly the cgi got too much for me after a while. i liked the premise but disliked the majority of it i think if the way it looks is the only positive thing about it it isn't a good movie. 3/10
but then i also watched isle of dogs and loved it 7.5/10

[Calderyon]

The Mist - So much better than i anticipated. Definitely worth a watch. 8/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

It's Complicated (2009)
9/10 > very funny in places and just proves comedy's don't have to rely on crude humour to get by

Decoys (2004)
9/10 > about alien women coming to Canada due to the cold to save their female alien race from extinction, a few amusing moments and has a nice twist at the end

Arthur (2011)
8/10 > the remake with Russell Brand which I find a little annoying and I quite liked it and Helen Mirren looks out of place in this

[Tom4784]

Isle of Dogs

It's very much a Wes Anderson film so if you dislike his work, you'll hate this but if you're a fan, it'll be right up your street.

I really liked it, I liked the approach and style (and think that cultural appropriation and white washing remarks are silly), the writing was good and it was just pretty damn good in most regards. The cast is shockingly star studied and their performances are pretty great and memorable across the board.

I suppose the only real criticism I have is that Wes Anderson plays it a bit too safe and that it's a film that feels all too familiar if you've watched his other films.

9/10

[Niamh.]

Ready Player One - Loved this, was way better than I was expecting, I loved all the references (what with being old an all it was really nostalgic) 8.5/10

[ethanjames]

blockers
a genuine shock American comedys are actually funny now? so much fun 7/10

[Crimson Dynamo]

The Nice Guys

6/10 all the funny bits i saw in the trailer and a 13 year old girl talking about anal sex for a cheap laugh is not my idea of humour

:skull:

[Ammi]

...Justice League...it was ok...not the best/.. not the worst, type thing...Gal Gadot/..Wonder Woman was stunning..:lovedup:...7ish/10 I reckon....

[Niamh.]

The Commuter - It was what it was, i think Liam has become a little typecast but I always enjoy his films anyway :laugh: 6/10

[Ammi]

The Commuter - It was what it was, i think Liam has become a little typecast but I always enjoy his films anyway :laugh: 6/10

..yeah he probably has become type-cast but I shamelessly don’t care though...any Liam movie is always a 10/10 perfection for me..:lovedup:..

[Cherie]

I, Toyna - 10/10

Game Night 5/10

The Prisoners 7/10

[ethanjames]

love simon
I cant be objective here as I cried for 2/3s of this film touched me emotionally adored it

[Morgan.]

Just got back from Love, Simon and it was shot and told so beatifully, I really cannot fault it. 10/10.

[Smithy]

A Quiet Place - was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing, would definitely recommend. Brilliant film

[Babayaro.]

Cast Away. Lovely film :love:

[andybigbro]

The Belko Experiment

[Cal.]

Toy Story 3 man

[Niamh.]

Just had a rewatch of True Romance still the best Tarantino film imo

Then started watching La La land, turned it off after 15 mins, what a load of ****e

[ethanjames]

a quiet place
the guy next to me kept on ****ing talking and waving his hands around even though he went alone and I didn't know him?? so that made me enjoy it less but the films incredible and one of the better horror films out at the moment. the sound design is utterly gorgeous and id highly recommend it 8.5/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

A Quiet Place (2018)
9/10 > the beginning scared the sh*t out of me because I didn't now what expect as I saw no trailers for the film before hand, but the scares faded a little as the film went on till great tho, pretty sure a sequel will happen

Decoys 2: Alien Seduction (2007)
8/10 > almost as good as the first but a couple flaws annoyed me them being > how did Luke get out of the situation at the end of the first film and what happened to Alex? and how is Constance alive when he clearly got a flamethrower from Luke and she exploded? if she was a descendant then why didn't Lily reappear as well?

Interstellar (2014)
4/10 > what a boring film ZZZZ the last hour was good but it's the case of too little too late

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Chronicles Of Narnia 3: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader (2010)
8/10 > better than the second but joint best if not slightly better than the first also it was much shorter in the run time so I wasn't bored and it flowed better, Aslan again wasn't in the film much which is disappointing also two of the main four cast were either not in the film much or were completely absent

The Family Stone (2005)
7/10 > another film I haven't seen in over a decade still holds up well and still funny in places, should have re watched this in December really

[Niamh.]

Comet - It was an unusual film, not your average rom com, I really enjoyed it 7/10

[Babayaro.]

The Autopsy Of Jane Doe

Wow, wow, wow!! I wasn't expecting much before watching this, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tbh I expected it to be a run-of-the-mill paranormal movie, but it was far from it. I always prefer a small cast in a horror movie as it allows you to become more invested in the characters and the storyline, and that's definitely the case for this film. The less known about it the better, as whatever expectations you have before watching, will probably be topped. A must watch, if you love a proper horror that has a good balance of story telling, character development, frights and gore.

9/10

[Babayaro.]

And it's on Netflix too!

[Ammi]

..The Dark Tower...it really was quite flat for me, didn’t really come together at all...it wasn’t the storyline ...and Matthew and Idris should have been enough to make a great movie...but they just weren’t for some reason...the movie took their greatness away rather than their greatness adding to the movie...odd...4/10...

[Nicky91]

ooh Marc, you've inspired me of probably watching that movie too now

[AnnieK]

Watched Peter Rabbit last night, really cute, funny, predictable but well watchable

[user104658]

..The Dark Tower...it really was quite flat for me, didn’t really come together at all...it wasn’t the storyline ...and Matthew and Idris should have been enough to make a great movie...but they just weren’t for some reason...the movie took their greatness away rather than their greatness adding to the movie...odd...4/10...

The Dark Tower is like a 7-part book series and it was originally supposed to be something like a 3-part movie alongside a television series... but it all kind of got abandonned / production problems and they turned the scraps into one movie (which is a complete mess).

So that's the explanation for something that seems like it SHOULD be good on paper, and has the star power to back it up, actually turning out to be confusing and crap :joker:.

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Fog (2005)
9/10 > strongly disagree with all the negative reception this remake got at the time and still do, is it really that bad? far from it IMO but most people will still think it's crap because they keep comparing it to the original, it had a few scares here and there throughout that made me jump

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief (2010)
7/10 > good but it drags in some scenes which makes the film seem much longer than it is, hope the second one is better

Bewitched (2005)
6/10 > never saw the TV series but the film was alright I guess, bit disappointed that the cat didn't feature or do much other than being cute also Will Ferrell is annoying in this

[LukeB]

Friday the 13th part 5 - 5/10

[Barry.]

Friday the 13th part 3 9/10
Friday the 13th the final chapter 10/10.

[user104658]

"Peter Rabbit"

Legitimately a movie about an uptight guy trying to get his end away whilst beating the sh*t out of a rabbit.

10/10 he also tries to blow them up.

[ethanjames]

infinity war
holy ****ing **** 9/10

[Tom4784]

Infinity War

Mixed feelings about it tbh.

I'mma spoil everything in the spoiler tags so you've been warned.

I think I'll love this film in a year's time when Part 2 comes out because this film felt quite incomplete and that impacted my enjoyment of the film since I wasn't expecting 3 and 4 to be so heavily connected as they said it wouldn't.

That being said, I really liked what was in the film but my only other major complaint was that they split the cast up too much and nobody really got much of a spotlight for it aside from Thanos who I thought was fantastic. It says a lot when the writers make you feel sympathetic for a genocidal maniac and even understand his goals and see where he's coming from, I'm not keen on the fact they killed Gamora to do that though but I did find their storyline quite moving. I actually like MCU Thanos way better than Comic Thanos.

As for the ending, I loved it, it's daring (even though you'll know they'll reverse the Gauntlet's effect as Thanos made a point of saying that half of the universe would be erased, not specifically killed) and Peter fading away while Tony could do nothing but watch honestly broke my heart although I knew they would reverse it.

Oh and Loki is not dead, I didn't buy his death for a second. I think Thanos killed one of his doubles and Loki will be back in Avengers 4, it's such a dumb badly written death otherwise. Everyone else who didn't die because of the Gauntlet is dead and gone I think and a few that did won't come back, I expect or will come back to be killed in the final battle against Thanos (Bucky, i'm looking at you). Scarlet Witch will definitely be back, it's quite obvious that she will be the key to bringing the X-Men into the MCU when Disney's takeover of Fox goes through, They'll do a House of M storyline where she becomes increasingly unbalanced because of what happened in Infinity War to the point that she uses her powers to create an idealised world in which everything is kind of ****ed up. They'll fix it but since reality has been changed too many times, things won't be the same, hence mutants.

Loved how funny it was too, Okoye and Drax made me cackle.

8/10

Black Panther and Winter Soldier remain unbothered.

8/10

Black Panther and Winter Soldier remain unbothered.I've not seen it yet so I'm not touching the spoiler, but for the last part...

... So, I saw Black Panther finally and... While it's good - certainly "top tier" Marvel - I sort of feel like it's... Gulp... Over-rated? At the very least I rank Winter Soldier, Ragnarok, Guardians 1 and Avengers 1 above it. Probably also Cap 1 tbh. With Winter Soldier still in a separate league.

The villain was a great character. Until the final act. Which is where my real problem lies. They turned the only legitimately "black character" into a cartoon villain... The Wakandans are black in terms of ethnicity, sure, but they're technologically advanced isolationist who have no idea what it is to be "black people in a white world" - or in other words - the villain is basically right about them - and they beat him down :think:. I don't get how it's empowering. Black Panther himself is, for all intents and purposes, a privileged white guy who happens to have dark skin. :worry: Most Wakandans are!

It is however exceptionally well acted, and gorgeous to look at. Though the action / choreography is frankly only OK where Winter Soldier is flawless...

[Benzient-XXVII]

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) :love:
10/10 > Still amazing, some funny lines and moments plus blood & gore which I like

Point Break (2015)
9/10 > never seen the original but I can assume that it's basically the same? I'll have too watch the original to compare at some point, but the action scenes was intense in this one, thrilling

Drive (2011)
7/10 > a bit slow but the bloody scenes made up for the dull moments overall good but not great

[Niamh.]

Infinity War : Loved it, it was great seeing all of the Super Chris' up there :lovedup: (Thor wins) But yeah, It was really funny and really enjoyable.

Re Dezzys spoiler :

I was thinking that of course time will be reset and they will all come back to life but I was thinking(hoping) that would include Gamora but her not coming back to life would make more sense now you mention it waaa 8.5/10

Don't Sleep : What a big pile of crap this movie was, horrific acting and really disappointing storyline, should be called Don't Watch :hee: .5/10

[Niamh.]

Oh and it wasn't scary at all, not even a little bit.

[Denver]

Ready Player One 10/10

Much better then i expected, these type of films never usually interest me but i was hooked from the 1st minute and it was action packed all the way through.

Peter Rabbit 10/10

I had no intentions to watch it but i did so with my niece and nephews and t had me laughing all the way through.

[Mystic Mock]

In my family we're each picking TV Shows/Movies that we're going to watch, and my Mom picked one of her favourite Films which was Dances With Wolves.

My opinion of Dances With Wolves is that it was well made and mostly well acted, and I do also like that both sides were portrayed with good and bad people within the communities, and it had likeable characters.

The problems for me however was that the main plot was very basic and non-existent throughout most of the Film, and Mary McDonnell's character was there basically just for the Soapy Romance segments, and I also really had an issue with the story sometimes jumping into certain plot strands and I was wondering how the story had got to that point? I don't know if it's bad editing or whatever I should call it but it would really bother me in the Film.

My overall score - 7/10 - If you like Historical Dramas that takes their time to push the plot forward and is more on it's characters than it's plot then this Film is for you, if you're more like me who likes more fast paced action with less focus on drama with it's characters and likes the main plot to be more prominent then I recommend to stay away from this Film.

I'm sorry for the long winded review btw, I do get a bit carried away with my opinions on Movies.:laugh:

I think I'll love this film in a year's time when Part 2 comes out because this film felt quite incomplete and that impacted my enjoyment of the film since I wasn't expecting 3 and 4 to be so heavily connected as they said it wouldn't.

That being said, I really liked what was in the film but my only other major complaint was that they split the cast up too much and nobody really got much of a spotlight for it aside from Thanos who I thought was fantastic. It says a lot when the writers make you feel sympathetic for a genocidal maniac and even understand his goals and see where he's coming from, I'm not keen on the fact they killed Gamora to do that though but I did find their storyline quite moving. I actually like MCU Thanos way better than Comic Thanos.

As for the ending, I loved it, it's daring (even though you'll know they'll reverse the Gauntlet's effect as Thanos made a point of saying that half of the universe would be erased, not specifically killed) and Peter fading away while Tony could do nothing but watch honestly broke my heart although I knew they would reverse it.

Oh and Loki is not dead, I didn't buy his death for a second. I think Thanos killed one of his doubles and Loki will be back in Avengers 4, it's such a dumb badly written death otherwise. Everyone else who didn't die because of the Gauntlet is dead and gone I think and a few that did won't come back, I expect or will come back to be killed in the final battle against Thanos (Bucky, i'm looking at you). Scarlet Witch will definitely be back, it's quite obvious that she will be the key to bringing the X-Men into the MCU when Disney's takeover of Fox goes through, They'll do a House of M storyline where she becomes increasingly unbalanced because of what happened in Infinity War to the point that she uses her powers to create an idealised world in which everything is kind of ****ed up. They'll fix it but since reality has been changed too many times, things won't be the same, hence mutants.

Loved how funny it was too, Okoye and Drax made me cackle.

8/10

Black Panther and Winter Soldier remain unbothered.
Yea I agree.

Black Panther is the superior film out of the two.

Have seen Infinity War now.

loads of kids in the cinema, clearly had no idea that it's a 2 part film and we're totally confused and devastated at the end... HAHA. I mean FFS... The villain wins, half the cast is dead, Little Spiderman disintegrates in Stark's arms pleading for his life, half the worlds population dies, and then its like "lol the end" :joker:.

I wonder who is actually dead? Vision is a goner. I reckon Loki (along with the entire supporting cast of Thor Ragnarok Wtf) really is dead too UNLESS there's a Thor 4, in which case they'll resurrect Loki and Valkyrie. None of the ones that disintegrated are dead obviously. I'm also completely unconvinced that Gamora is dead; she didn't need to die to fulfil the sacrifice element so long as thanos believed he was killing her, and believes he succeeded... So most likely, Red Skull collected her from the bottom of the cliffs and revived her.

But yeah in general I agree with the above; it felt unfulfilling to have a cliffhanger. I get why they have to... It has to be long, most people aren't going to sit through a 5 hour film (lol) and also the cost of making it would only just be recouped.

But I personally would much rather watch it back to back. I wonder if they'll do a back to back screening anywhere when part 2 is released.

I did also think there was a LOT going on that needed to be crammed in, and it lost out on some of its character moments because of that, especially off the back of Homecoming, Ragnarok and then Black Panther which all follow a linear narrative pretty much glued to the hip of the protagonist. However, it is well edited and handles the jumping around fine, where some films get disorienting.

Thor calling Rocket "Rabbit" was a highlight. I'm here for Thor 4 being a buddy movie with Thor, Hulk, Rabbit and Groot.

I don't think Loki's dead, it'd just be bad writing for a character that's meant to be as smart as him to die like that, I think Thanos killed one of Loki's clones while he made a getaway.

I agree about Vision, his death could mean that they are putting Wanda on the path of causing the House of M storyline (I think she'll get the reality based powers through some botched interaction with the Reality stone in the next film when she's destroying it). You're right about Gamora too, I think I recall the director of the Guardians films saying that she's integral to the next film so unless he's referring to the impact her death has then I don't think she'll stay dead....I don't think she's even dead dead, I think she IS the Soul Stone.

As for who will end up will end up dying for real in the next film. My money's on Nick Fury, War Machine, Nebula, Mantis and Cap.

I don't think Cap will die to be honest, unless they're doing a fake-out with Bucky... because Comic lore would be that Cap dies and Bucky takes on the Captain America title... BUT they seem to be grooming Bucky as a replacement White Wolf (not subtly... they're actually calling him that) for the Black Panther franchise? Like I fully expect him to be suited up as White Wolf in Black Panther 2. Like I said unless that's a bait-and-switch to throw off Cap rumours.

I also don't think any character who was in "the 50%" that disintegrated will die... because I don't think they'll be brought back until the final act of the film. Most likely, Thanos will lose the gauntlet or at least some of the stones and someone will use it to put things right, and then there will be a final battle with de-gauntletted Thanos and his forces... and I don't think they'll kill anyone who has "just come back".

I've also just been reading about comic book Vision... and there's a storyline where he's destroyed and rebuilt - but the rebuilt version is "ghostly white" (like the colour his body was?) and he comes back as an emotionless AI, without the human qualities he had before. I wonder if they're going to go down that route? He'll be repaired without the stone, but he'll be cold and emotionless...

I'd be really surprised if Marvel waited until the finale of Avengers 4 to bring back the heroes that 'died'. That's Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch and the majority of the Guardians basically reduced to a cameo appearance.

I know in the comics there's a world within the soul stone that the dead go to which could lead to a story for the half that died but I don't see it tbh. A lot of the common theories for Avengers 4 is that it'll be time travel based.

That's a good theory for Vision, Could be a good way of pushing Scarlet Witch towards the House of M in a way that's not purely motivated by grief.

[LaLaLand]

"Wonder Wheel" (2017) - dir. Woody Allen.

Really enjoyed it, okay storyline, not Allen's best by any means but very charming and great cinematography too. You get a real sense of 1950's Coney Island which is cute.

7.5/10 - would watch again!

[RileyH]

Infinity War omg wig

8/10 bc it dragged in some parts but apart from that iconique

[RileyH]

Eden Lake 8/10
You Got Me 7/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

Percy Jackson 2: Sea Of Monsters (2013)
8/10 > much better as it was more entertaining better paced and I didn't drift in and out of interest, the ending leaves it open for another one which still hasn't happened yet but apparently it's coming out this year but the original cast may not return and it will get rebooted which is stupid, if they don't come back and it gets rebooted then I rather not have a third at all

The Hateful Eight (2015)
7/10 > 2HRS 47 minutes long but I was good throughout a bit boring but that's expected due to the run time, it picks up after the twist was revealed which I wasn't expecting and took me by surprise

Beginners (2011)
4/10 > the Dog parts where the subtitles come up to tell us what he was thinking was amusing, other than that what a boring film and it says it's a comedy but I didn't laugh once

[montblanc]

Infinity War 8/10

I'm not a big superhero fan but I really enjoyed it!
The ending was CRAZY as in that it's such a big loss? Like the villain literally has control over everything so it'll be interesting to see how they fix that because :skull: And also I don't think the ending deaths are permanent and I feel like Gamora isn't dead either.

[Nicky91]

Jumanji: Welcome To the Jungle 8.5/10

i love these sort of movies

Jack Black being hilarious as usual, Dwayne Johnson another fab role from him as well, and a good adventure on the Island of Jumanji

[Morgan.]

Pitch Perfect 3: 9/10 - hilarious, great performances, a good storyline.

[RileyH]

Bye PP3 was awful

[Morgan.]

Bye PP3 was awful

3 > 2 > 1

3 could've got a 10 if they put Pentatonix in it again :fist:

Spiderman: Homecoming 10/10

Rewatching this after IW is kinda heartbreaking :sad: we love the best Marvel film :clap1:

[Benzient-XXVII]

Super (2010)
9/10 > a very funny alternative to the Kick-Ass films can't really add much else other than it's great to be honest

War Dogs (2016)
7/10 > amusing and entertaining in places, but the comedy & (not much) action didn't gel together very well, still good though

21 (2008)
6/10 > good overall but quite a few scenes drag, last 30 minutes were good

Fury (2012)
6/10 > it was alright but I did have enough interest in the film overall to warrant a reply in the future

[Baby Jane]

The Greatest Showman: 9/10

I know the film whitewashes a lot of truth out of the real story so it can be a smushy, family affair but I'm a sucker for a film with beautiful cinematography and that's definitely what this film delivers. It is visually stunning throughout, I'm so annoyed at myself that I didn't get to go to the cinema to view the spectacle on the big screen. Brilliant, catchy songs and great performances all round.

[montblanc]

I Know What You Did Last Summer 8/10

I really enjoyed it! Especially since I don't watch a lot of slasher films

[RileyH]

Zendaya did that @ being in the 2 best films of 2017 :clap1:

[Tom4784]

Deadpool 2

I thought it was pretty good, better than the first one. I do think most of the jokes are in the trailers but it was still entertaining nonetheless. One of the problems I had was the kid character, all of the jokes involving him fell flat and his acting was atrocious. I think, despite being a ridiculously violent fourth wall breaking comedy, there's a real warmth to it and I hope the Disney/Fox deal won't spell the end of Deadpool.

8/10

Also Josh Brolin is daddy material, ngl.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Focus (2015)
9/10 > surprisingly great and reminded me of the TV show Hustle for obvious reasons, full of surprises

Ice Age 5: Collision Course (2016)
8/10 > I think this is the best one so far (just) but these films feel more of the same really because they barely add anything new to each film, if Ice Age 6 happens (I'm sure it will) it needs to up it's game

Transit (2012)
7/10 > quite tense and entertaining weird seeing an after dark film that's not a horror for a change

Level Up (2016)
3/10 > rubbish, boring and loads of wasted potential, there where a couple of amusing moments to help me get through this snooze fest

[Tony Montana]

Match point (2005) Very underrated. One of Woody Allen’s best!

[kirklancaster]

Just watched 'Three Billboards' and really enjoyed it. I think the way it ended that there is going to be a sequel.

[user104658]

Deadpool 2 - easy 9/10

It managed to surpass the original in almost every way. Deadpool himself, despite being on the surface ridiculous, is actually in this film by FAR the most believable "human being" in any current superhero franchise. He's a mess, he acts on emotion, he ****s up constantly but muddles through. Domino and Cable are also both brilliant.

Oh and CELINE DION! :omgno: Titanic theme no longer her best movie soundtrack.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Nothing But The Truth (2008)
7/10 > Signature Entertainment can release a decent film after all, a couple of moments were a bit annoying but overall a solid thriller that held my attention mostly throughout

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus (2009)
7/10 > enjoyed it and was quite a peculiar which is why I liked it the most, sad two main cast are now deceased

Redline (2007)
4/10 > another film to add to the signature entertainment trash pile, this film is basically drag racing but managing to be dull at the same time

Hirokin: The Last Samurai (2012)
2/10 > very boring and a rubbish film and shock it's from signature entertainment, also the title of the film is misleading as he isn't even associated with the any Samurai's, even if he was he wasn't the last of them as there were others, absurd film

[Nicky91]

Star Wars The Last Jedi 9/10 :clap1:

great movie, i was in tears at seeing the end credits, ''in loving memory to our princess Carrie Fisher''

[Nicky91]

Tomb Raider 2018 9/10

great movie, i enjoyed watching it a lot :clap1: :clap1:

Alicia Vikander playing a great young Lara Croft :lovedup:

[Moviefan]

I saw over the weekend

Game Night (2018) , it's was fun movie, there were some decent funny moment but I was hoping it would be more funny then it was.

Big Fat liar (2002)
I actually found this, really funny, I thought it wss really well made

Bigger Fatter Liar (2017)
It's basically a remake of the first movie, only change stole movie script into Stolen video game
It's felt like scence of scence remake!


Happy Death Day (2017) second watch

The strangers (2008) only seen it's once before, I wasn't a fan of it back and feel the same now, only
Re-Watched it, I will be watching sequel later in the week

The Possessed (1977) TV movie
This was decent for a tv movie, I had some good scences, acting was decent

Flight 666 (2018)
I really enjoyed this, really surprised me (not that is was great), because it was made by The Asylum, this as got to be one of there better movies, I liked the plot, sscript was good, some decent jump scares but acting was a mixed bag, , some of the cast was decent but there was some poor acting.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Norm Of The North (2016)
8/10 > surprised this has gotten so many negative reviews because I thought it was funny and entertaining, yeah it wasn't amazing but it was miles better than most animated films I've seen recently

The Rebound (2009)
8/10 > a good paced funny comedy with enough to held my attention throughout

Rendition (2007)
4/10 > a couple of explosions were good but wasn't enough to save this very dull film

A Most Violent Year (2014)
3/10 > should be re-titled A Most Boring Year, the title is misleading because there was barely any violence in the film just a complete bore fest

[Niamh.]

Love, Simon - It was a nice feel good movie 7/10

Deadpool 2 - It was really good, better than the first, I actually found him a bit annoying in the first movie but alot less so in this one. 8.5/10

[montblanc]

Mysterious Skin: UGH such a sad, raw movie :( i cried at the end and i’m not a crier at all :bawling: it messed me up! - 9/10

Deadpool 2 has lost a 10/10 score from me just for the fact that Celine Dion sings the soundtrack.:joker:

I'm just joking... a little bit.

[RileyH]

Big Fat liar (2002)
I actually found this, really funny, I thought it wss really well made

A classic :clap1:

[Niamh.]

A Wrinkle in Time - meh it was alright, a bit too faffy-made-no-sense (I know it's a Disney fantasy thing and maybe if the film was more exciting it wouldn't bother me but they didn't really try to explain much about what was going on or why) 4/10

[Tom4784]

Alex Strangelove

It's got a terrible script that is riddled in cliches and the 'Bi now, gay later' trope which bothers me to no end. It could have been an interesting and all too rare film about bisexuality but instead it's a crappy rushed rom-com with a poorly realised and rushed romance that simplifies the issues it tries to cover.

Skip this film and just stick with Love, Simon. It's far superior.

3/10

[themiz]

The marine 5 battleground

10/10

Its must see tv.

Dirty Grandpa (2016)
9/10 > full of crude humour and full of laughs to keep me amused, very funny film

Year One (2009)
8/10 > some visual gags which you have to watch to get which I quite liked as you have too keep your eyes on the screen or you miss them, really enjoyed it

My One And Only (2009)
7/10 > Renee Zellweger and her two sons goes on a road trip trying to find herself a husband but every man she chooses turns out to be an @$$h*** and of they go again

The Ghost (2010)
4/10 > another very dull thriller that the critics loved, just couldn't keep up with this nonsense

[Smithy]

In the past week I’ve watched

Coco - loved it, it was adorable and so heartfelt, I teared up at the end when he started singing to her :bawling:

Game Night - a scream

Mother! - just watched this tonight and I’m still slightly shook

[RileyH]

The Crush 10/10

omg wig this was iconic! how have i never seen this before? already one of my all time favourites and it had a great plot/characters :clap1: adrian is a legend and honestly me

[JerseyWins]

Coco - loved it, it was adorable and so heartfelt, I teared up at the end when he started singing to her :bawling:
WTF my friend literally told me to watch this movie earlier today! :joker: He said it's the best animated movie after Toy Story (3) & Lion King which I honestly doubt though by the sound of the plot :shrug:

[Niamh.]

Escape Plan : I really enjoyed this eventhough I think it got bad reviews, it was what it was and it was entertaining. 6.5/10

Escape Plan 2 - Hades : So thinking that the first one was good I though I'd definitely like this one too........wrong. Firstly Sly Stallone and Drax from GOGs are on the cover despite them not really being the main guys in it, secondly I hated the whole futuristic prison idea, it was too far fetched and not like a proper prison, very disappointing 2/10

[Tom4784]

I watched Love, Simon again.

Would bump it's score up to an 8/10 tbh.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) :love:
10/10 > haven't laughed this much in ages, the massage scene was HILARIOUS and the sauna scene that followed, I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so much LOL

John Wick (2014)
9/10 > great film but I felt it fell a little short at the end, can't wait to see the sequel

The Interview (2014)
7/10 > has it's moments and I liked it but I can see why people hate this film

You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008)
6/10 > one of those films where I'm not sure if I liked it or not?, once the Zohan got to the salon then the laughs kicked in but before that it wasn't really that funny

[James]

Last film I watched was 2001: a space odyssey about a week or so ago. It was the first time I'd seen it at the cinema, and is a real masterpiece. I noticed details on the big screen I hadn't seen before.

[Niamh.]

Peter Rabbit - It was pretty enjoyable and funny in parts eventhough i found Peter kind of annoying, is that allowed? :worry: 6/10

[user104658]

Peter Rabbit - It was pretty enjoyable and funny in parts eventhough i found Peter kind of annoying, is that allowed? :worry: 6/10

Surely that's why you found it enjoyable, since literally 90% of the film is a rabbit getting 7 shades of **** knocked out of it by an emotionally unstable grown man :joker:

Veronica (2018)
It's was okay movie, I expected a lot more from it, I didn't find scary at all
The acting was good, to many dreams scenes!

[Benzient-XXVII]

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
9/10 > a little disappointing but still great, I didn't like the Dinosaurs going to the mansion part as I thought it was stupid oh well and the ending makes me excited to watch part 3, on a side note the Dinosaur at the pier was sad to watch :'(

Bad Moms (2016)
9/10 > very funny and doesn't rely on forced gross out gags every 5 minutes to be funny,can't wait to see A Bad Moms Christmas that should be a hoot

Youth In Revolt (2009)
9/10 > big surprise because I though it wouldn't be that good but it was quite funny and the time flew by

Momentum (2016)
9/10 > much better than expected because it was released by Signature Entertainment who are pretty much crap most of the time, I was hooked from start to finish, Olga Kurylenko carried this film and made it great

[Tony Montana]

I Watched Lakeview Terrace last night. Fantastic Suspenseful Thriller. Jackson really made me Despise his Character

[GoldHeart]

Peter Rabbit - It was pretty enjoyable and funny in parts eventhough i found Peter kind of annoying, is that allowed? :worry: 6/10

Not sure if I'll watch on account to irritating James Corden being the voice :notimpressed:.

There's so many nice actors that could of been Peter Rabbit :fist:

[Moviefan]

Ghost stories (2017)
I really enjoyed, as some decent stories, some parts as creepy moments,
I liked how it ended , it did cross my mind, that it could end in that way

Tag (2017)
Silly plot, Which is based on a true story (Which we see in the credits ofvthe movie)
I found it movie really fun to watch, I laughed a number of times

Fun movie

[Niamh.]

Callibre - It was really disturbing, I can't decide if I liked it or not, I felt abit uncomfortable afterwards which I guess is sort of good but eventhough it wasn't a bad movie but I couldn't say I enjoyed it either eventhough I thought it was good, if that makes sense? I'm really confused and I don't know how to rate it :laugh: hhhmmm I'm going to give it a 7/10

Incident in a Ghost land - So this was a horror type film which I don't expect much from, alot are rehashed stories so this really surprised me

The twist was excellent, never saw that coming, it was very well done

Kept me on the edge of my seat, really good film for that genre 8/10

Just reading some reviews for this and it seems people either really hated this film or really loved it :laugh: Literally people are either rating it between 1 & 3 out of 10 or between 7 & 10

[Benzient-XXVII]

Semi-Pro (2008)
7/10 > it was a bit dull and dragged a bit but it was funny in places

Hereafter (2010)
3/10 > the Tsunami at the beginning was the best part after that a tidal wave of boring ZZZZZ

[Livia]

The Greatest Showman.

Practically perfect.... 9.8/10

end up on the Raft

I found this very gooey instead of gory and ended was great


The Hitch-hiker
This was good one but I felt it startred of really well


Women cheating on her husband as she driving home, she hit a Hitch-hiker and leaves him for dead

She trying to get home, she haunted by him and she keeps trying to kill him, over , over , over , over again

It got boring really quick! (They should have made that segment shorter )


Creepshow 3 (2006)1st watch

This was a lot lower budget then the previous two movies, (if this movie was not called Creepshow 3, I don't we had a bad reception it as got,)

Animation was horrible, did not that at all

Alice
This was actually decent segment, I enjoyed
Alice is teenager, who hates her whole street
And her family

A dad start messing with some kind of universal remote,
Changes her life repeatly untill something goes really wrong.

The Radio
Less said about this is better, it was just stupid

Call Girl
Murderous call girl, goes to a shy teenage house,

He tell her that his parents out of town this weekend and then she ties him to a bed and blindfold him
And kills him, then cover his face with pillow

She as a shower at starts hear his voice and he shocked to found out, his not human and his killed by him

The Professor's Wife
Two ex students, thinks his bride to be is a Robot, so they try to find the a off switch, unknowing They are killing a real human. A bit gory


Haunted Dog
A Nasty Doctor, who cares about himself, buys a hot dog, then drops it and then gives to homeless man, who ends up dying.

Is very rude to all of his patients, then gets Haunted by the home less man
Very predicable

Also characters from each story interact with each other during the film, so different from last two movies

Last Passenger (2013)
9/10 > thriller about a group of people trapped on a train that won't stop due getting hijacked by someone which we never find out who or why

Immortals (2011)
7/10 > I can't really remember what happened but it was good honest

[Smithy]

The Last Jedi - undoubtedly the WORST Star Wars film out of the lot of them, I can’t get my head around how cheesy and predictable it was, the pacing was terrible, jokes that were totally out of place with the film, like wtf was the opening bit with Po all about? It was dreadful. The plot armour on the characters in these sorts of films just ruins it, it’s ****e. 2/10 would not recommend only funny parts were the “caretakers” of Luke’s island getting pissed of with ray or whatever the bitch was called

What? I haven’t Watched it Yet, But was it Actually Worse Than the Phantom of the Menace?

Yeah, it’s honestly dire, far too long too

I liked out it opened, very different, It had its moments, I felt something missing but still entertaining
Good movie 6/10

Will be watching 4 tonight and 5 tomorrow, not seen them yet

[Niamh.]

How it Ends - I love Forest Whitaker so had high expectations for this, it started out like it could be interesting but it dragged on with nothing very interesting happening other than people fighting over petrol and then it got a bit odd towards the end and then it just ended with no actual ending. Maybe the clue was in the title :think: 4/10

[ethanjames]

oceans eight 8/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

That Awkward Moment (2014)
8/10 > felt different somehow to the usual comedy we normally get it felt more serious but inserting laughs where it was needed

Child 44 (2015)
7/10 > had a few goods parts but the film drags and gets quite dull in places as the film IMO is overlong

[LaLaLand]

Clown (2014) - was pretty much what you'd expect, clowns don't bother me so I wasn't arsed.

5.5/10.

[Jordan.]

Went to see The Secret Of Marrowbone at cinema tonight, didn't know what to expect as I hadn't seen or heard anything about it but it was enjoyable, not a full on horror but it had a creepy vibe throughout and a few jump scares. The twist at the end was pretty good too - 7/10

[RileyH]

Better Watch Out 8.5/10

[Kazanne]

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Women (2008)
9/10 > waaaaaay better than I could ever have imagined because I had very low expectations, quite funny and flowed well scene to scene bit weird not seeing a single man throughout but I thought it was kinda cool

Parker (2013)
7/10 > another Jason Statham action film about something to do with tracking down a group of partners that robbed a bank together and then they shoot Statham and leave him for dead and Statham hunts them down for revenge and his share of the money

[Niamh.]

Incredible's 2 - It was really good and really funny, I can't remember if I saw the first or not but I wasn't really looking forward to seeing this one, I only went because I promised Luke I'd take him but it was so good, much better than I expected 8/10

[Benzient-XXVII]

Skyscraper (2018)
9/10 > at the cinema, it had some intense moments especially when Sidney I mean Sarah whipped that bad girls @$$ in the car on another note it was weird seeing Neve Campbell outside of the Scream movies

Paranoia (2013)
8/10 > really good thriller that was put together well it had a few good moments

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)
8/10 > quite funny in places but the twist about the new guard that started I didn't see coming and a few action scenes that followed were good

[Nicky91]

gonna watch jurassic world fallen kingdom tonight, and then i will do a little review in spoiler tags on here tomorrow i guess :)

[Calderyon]

Central Intelligence - Liked it quite a bit, very funny. 3.5/5

[Calderyon]

Warcraft: The Beginning. Much better than i expected. Very neat special effects and the acting was not bad. 3/5

[Calderyon]

Batman vs Superman. Visually great and acting was on point. Liked Ben Affleck as Batman, even though was very suspicious of how he would do in it.

Also liked Lex Luthors actors performance, but tbh I was little annoyed that he was portrayed as a young adult instead of a grown man like Batman and Superman.

3.5/5

[Calderyon]

The Suicide Squad. A pretty solid movie, I thought. Good to know that a sequel is coming. 3.5/5

[Niamh.]

Tully - Really enjoyed this, I think most parents and especially mothers will relate to it. Charlize Theron is amazing in it 8.5/10

Mission Impossible Fallout - Does what it says on the tin, great action 7.5/10

[Nicky91]

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 9.5/10 :clap1:

i loved lots of attention for detail in this movie, all the memory bits for the Original Jurassic Park, i was crying when the brachiosaurus died by the volcanic ashes, i was happy that Rexy survived again, and the demise of villain Mills was really good, at the hands of Rexy, Carnosaurus and compy's eating his remains, i was shook when maisie was revealed to be a clone of lockwood's daughter yes overall i quite enjoyed this movie and i'm gonna definitely buy the blu ray version now when it releases on 10th October

[Nicky91]

Life 2017 i give it a 3.5/10

overall it is a cute monster movie, but is this better than hundreds of similar syfy monster movies who get really not high scores on IMDB, uh no, it feels a bit boring but some good monster action scenes

[Beso]

Rampage...it was good.

[ethanjames]

black swan 10/10

[Ammi]

..Same Kind of Different as Me...I don’t think it has a great movie rating overall but I loved it, such a powerful story and also a true story...8/10..:lovedup:...

[Jessica.]

Skyscraper - 5/10
Watched it at the cinema on Monday, it was entertaining but was still just another generic "The Rock" film.

Central Intelligence - 7/10
Watched it on Netflix, it was a howl.

[ethanjames]

ant man and the wasp; the ****ing post credit scene woah 7/10

[Smithy]

Avengers Infinity War - meh, just another superhero film, no doubt everything that happened in this film will end up being undone so killing off so many characters just seemed pointless imo

[ethanjames]

first reformed; so subtle and powerful was shaken for hours afterwards ethan hawke is fantastic 9/10

[Niamh.]

Avengers Infinity War - meh, just another superhero film, no doubt everything that happened in this film will end up being undone so killing off so many characters just seemed pointless imoSpoiler :oh:

[ethanjames]

saw teen titans today thought it would suck but it was actually really ****ing good

[Benzient-XXVII]

State Of Play (2009)
8/10 > a steady thriller that builds up more as it goes along, a couple of really good action scenes

The Spirit (2008)
7/10 > same style as Sin City but not as great, it was amusing and entertaining but it fell short even Sin City 2: A Dame For A Kill was better (I really liked it)

[Ammi]

...Amanda and Jack go Glamping...predictable and flimsy...and uninteresting...2/10...

[Niamh.]

Antman and the Wasp - Hilarious, either my favourite or joint favourite (along with GOTG) of the Marvels 9/10

Skyscraper - It was what it was and quite like a Rock movie so... 6.5/10

Affairs of State - What a load of ****e, boring, crap 2D characters, flimsy storyline2/10

The Guernsey literary and potato peel society - Loved this, I actually never knew that the channel Islands were taken over by Germany during the war so a little bit of a History lesson as well as a really nice story with endearing characters 8.5/10

[Vanessa]

Star wars : the last jedi. Wow, it was brilliant! Action packed and with some interesting new characters. Love love love Kylo Ren : the new Darth Vader :flutter:

[ethanjames]

the meg,,, no idea

[Ammi]

...I, Tonya...such an excellent performance by Margot Robbie..:lovedup:...Tonya was such an incredibly gifted skater but sadly she didn’t have the ‘right’ background and image for her coach to believe in her more, she was anything but what was perceived as the American dream girl that would have fitted with an Olympian ice skater and a sporting representative of the USA..she was a life victim in a completely different way to the victim Nancy Kerrigan became...but no lesser a victim really...8/10...

[Ammi]

..Coco...a beautiful story of family and of dreams...just perfection really..:lovedup:..10/10....

[Amy Jade]

Santa Jaws - A christmas themed shark movie with a shark wearing a santa hat on it's fin attacking people.

[Ammi]

Santa Jaws - A christmas themed shark movie with a shark wearing a santa hat on it's fin attacking people.

...was it Jack_ ...Santa Corbs...? ...(...sorry Jack, it was just your Santa hat that my thoughts went to...not anything about attacking people or having a fin etc..)...

[Benzient-XXVII]

The Meg (2018)
8/10 > went to the cinema with high expectations but was left a little disappointed, mainly because The Meg barely did any destruction whatsoever and when the other Meg came onto the scene which was apparently much bigger than the one before it the beach scene at the end was the MASSIVE wasted opportunity ever, if a sequel happens I want more carnage

Alice In Wonderland (2010)
8/10 > cool looking film with plenty of action and amusing moments and really enjoyed it hopefully the sequel is just as good and hope they do a third but it looks doubtful

Ex Machina (2014)
7/10 > liked certain parts of it but it was very slow moving and a bit dull but it was good tho

[Moviefan]

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (2018)
This is remake/ reboot of the series, (last movie of the original series, only came out last year)

Well it's of a bit slow, I found some part of the movie tad boring, but when the Puppets start killing,
, it's a bloodbath, I really surprised how gory this was, I didn't expect it to be that gory at all.



When I saw trailer few weeks ago, I thought it looked really bad,

I enjoyed it a lot then I thought I would!

7/10 - really good

[Benzient-XXVII]

Life Of Pi (2012)
7/10 > a bit boring and overlong but the special effects were really good especially the Jellyfish and Whale scene was amazing and the Meerkats were cute

Fair Game (2010)
5/10 > boring political thriller that doesn't improve from the start, just a steady bore fest with a few interesting moments scattered throughout but not enough to save it, very average

[DouglasS]

Manchester By The Sea - 8/10 - Really deep but fulfilling film to watch. Great acting

To All The Boys I've Loved - 9/10 - I'm not that keen on chickflicks but my flatmate forced me to watch this, I actually surprisingly really enjoyed it, easy to watch.

[Niamh.]

...I, Tonya...such an excellent performance by Margot Robbie..:lovedup:...Tonya was such an incredibly gifted skater but sadly she didn’t have the ‘right’ background and image for her coach to believe in her more, she was anything but what was perceived as the American dream girl that would have fitted with an Olympian ice skater and a sporting representative of the USA..she was a life victim in a completely different way to the victim Nancy Kerrigan became...but no lesser a victim really...8/10...Margot Robbie deserves more credit imo, she's a proper chameleon, brilliant actress

[Ammi]

Margot Robbie deserves more credit imo, she's a proper chameleon, brilliant actress

...yeah she’s pretty incredible as an actress...and also quite stunning in appearance as well..the full package, eh...I watched it with my youngest son and we had a long conversation about Tonya and Margot as well afterwards..he’s a huge Margot fan....strangely..:laugh:...


...his future wife apparently...and I’m fine with that if it unfolds..:lovedup:..

[Wizard.]

The Lord of The Rings: Return of The King (2003) 9/10 Just wow :clap1:

[Ammi]

..The Fundamentals of Caring...Selena Gomez, Paul Rudd and Craig Roberts were all perfectly cast in their roles...a lovely movie, beautiful characters ...and just gorgeous really..:lovedup:...9/10...


...the bit when he finally got his own back and pretended he had left the medication in the other hotel was so funny and perfect, just as he was going on his date..:laugh:..

[LukeB]

Justice League - 8/10. Really great movie, after batman vs superman i didn’t have high hopes for this but it’s actually great and miles better than batman vs superman. Wonder Woman :lovedup: i wish superman was in it more though.

[Benzient-XXVII]

Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen (2003)
8/10 > young Lindsay Lohan stars in this quite enjoyable Disney comedy about the typical girl who moves away from newyork and trying to make her dream reality by becoming a star, the usual routine she goes to a new school meets a unpopular girl who she becomes friends with and also where she battles a mean girl (young Megan Fox) ETC

Duplicity (2009)
7/10 > good thriller that kept me interested about a pair of spies attempt to pull of the biggest heists ever, the ending was good and not what I was expecting

[Shaun]

Coco - sobbed like a little girl at the end. Loved it. Could've done without the dog but I suppose the young'uns need a goofy character to get behind. 9 or 10/10. Disney are on a serious roll atm.

[Vanessa]

The Lord of The Rings: Return of The King (2003) 9/10 Just wow :clap1:

I love Lord of the rings :thumbs:

[ethanjames]

blackkklansman 9/10 wow

[Tony Montana]

Justice League - 8/10. Really great movie, after batman vs superman i didn’t have high hopes for this but it’s actually great and miles better than batman vs superman. Wonder Woman :lovedup: i wish superman was in it more though.

I watched it in Cinemas and enjoyed it too. It had it's flaws but overall was a great flick. It should have been longer though. a few scenes from the trailer didn't even make it which annoyed me.

Superman was such a Boss in this Film

[Tony Montana]

The Lord of The Rings: Return of The King (2003) 9/10 Just wow :clap1:

:clap2: Best film of the 00s

I beg your pardon?

[Ammi]

....I love Dante the dog...

...when he became a spirit guide, when all he had been in his life is a stray dog who no one had really wanted...and then he became magnificent and valued..:lovedup:...he was one of the most essential characters to the story...

[Shaun]

He was a run-of-the-mill goofy nothing who was just served to make the 6 year olds laugh! END OF!

[Ammi]

...you just take him out of the story and see if CoCo gets reunited with his family or whether he turns into dust and bones...I’m not even sure you’ve been watching the same movie...when did Goofy have such an essential part in a movie...never, that’s when...he just goofed around all day while Dante set about saving the day for our hero, CoCo...with our Dante I doubt there would be a CoCo at the end of the movie..
