The rewrite: Typical hugh grant film but really enjoyed it

Heathers 10/10

:lovedup:

Savages

Had potential, but was a bit cheesy tbh and the ending was a bit rubbish.

6/10

I really loved this movie. Excellent performances and a great story.

Scream 3 (2000) - 4/10

Remember finding this enjoyable, but having re-watched it again for the first time in a few years, it's quite bad and not on par with the first two films - which are brilliant. Awful dialogue, characters aren't as good and I didn't really care if they died (bar Jennifer :love:). The killer reveal isn't as good neither is the opening. Long story short, the first 2 ****s all over this in every aspect.

..We're The Millers...really cute cast and lovely weekend movie...7/10...


..Kingsman The Secret Service ..spies and nonsense, what's not to love..and Samuel L Jackson, brilliant as a villain...9/10...

The Blues brothers. Just about the perfect movie, with a soundtrack to die for! 10/10 :cheer2:

Scream 4 (2011) - 7/10
Great entry to the franchise. Much better than Scream 3. Still holds up well and one of the few modern horror films I actually like. It is a bit remakey of the original Scream, but it pulls it off well compared actual remakes of other films which are just trash. Kirby and Jill were brilliant characters.

Creep (2004) - 8/10
Another one of the few modern horror films I like. It takes place on the London Underground and living in London, that's quite creepy. Really good film. Quite eerie. Highly recommended.

..The Craft...as recommended by Daniel and a 7/10 I think, I liked the characters and the plot ....


..Perks of being a Wallflower again as it was on TV...always a 10/10....

I've just watched 'Big Game' starring the incomparable Samuel L. Jackson and it is a totally ridiculous but highly enjoyable romp which I recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Air Force One and its escort fighter jets are shot down by terrorists, and the President (Samuel L.) crashes his escape pod in the wilds of Finland. Alone and hunted by the terrorists, the President is helped by a 13-year old boy called Oskari who is also alone in the wilderness undergoing a 'Coming of Age' ritual involving hunting.

I will not spoil the film by revealing any more of the plot, but I urge you to watch out for the subtextual homage to Spielberg's classic 'ET' - something every reviewer seems to have missed. The plot - a 'foreigner' lost in an alien world and hunted by sinister forces is helped by a young boy.

I do not know why this has been overlooked, because there is one scene, where Samuel L is actually wrapped ET style in a shawl whilst riding in the back of a snowmobile driven by Oskari as they climb a hill with the night sky in the background, which parodies the famous 'bike' scene in ET, and is - for me - the funniest scene in a very amusing film.

Watch it and enjoy.

The Hitcher (1986) - 7/10

First time watching this since 2009 and it still holds strong. Brilliant 80's thriller film. Very suspenseful and eerie and has some slasher elements to it too, thought it's not necessarily a slasher film.

Sicario. Amazing movie. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through! 10/10

Just watched Donnie Darko. A really solid film, the story is great and so is the acting, especially from Gyllenhaal. 8/10

..Me and Earl and the Dying Girl..I'm always really reluctant to watch this type of movie because the outcome and ending is so inevitable...but this was a truly lovely film..the three lead characters are so 'misfit' and likeable...well all of the characters are so deliciously 'kooky' and it had Jon Bernthal in as well so... just very thoughtful and very tenderly done../I loved it...so 9/10 I think....

I love this movie!

Wolf Creek (2005) - 9/10

This movie is BRILLIANT!!!! It's the first time I've seen the film fully, as I've usually seen bits and bobs from it on TV a few years back. It actually had me quite frightened and on the edge of my seat, which is rare as horror films hardly ever scare me, but this done kinda did. It didn't help that I watched it at 1 in the morning either. :laugh: The first half is just getting to know the 3 main characters, which is good as there's also character development in the film and you feel like you get to know the characters, so you feel sympathy for them when they're getting tortured. Then the 2nd half is disturbing yet gripping at the same time. There's quite a few uncomfortable and creepy scenes to watch in the film, especially when Mick tries to rape Kristy, and when he chops 3 of Liz's fingers in one swipe. :worry: The end was quite unpredictable, I thought. Overall, it's a good, eerie, horror/thriller film. It has great acting, good character development, and when it gets scary, it's even better. Mick makes a very creepy and quite disturbed killer. And you really feel captured in the film and feel so sorry for the characters.

Highly recommended, it's one of the few modern horror films I like.

(It's also based on true events too)

Wolf Creek is so good, need to watch it again soon. I like it when the survivor is someone you don't expect to survive and that's the case with this film imo. Also, the scene with the old man at the car + the sniper is brilliant

I loved it!

It's on the Halloween Countdown in two weeks, so you could watch it then.

And yeah, I loved the unpredictability of it all. At first you expected Liz to survive as she just had that calm, down to earth, maturity about her that most final girl survivors do in horror films, then she ended up getting killed, and when you find out Kristy got away, you thought she'd make it as she was close, but in the end Ben (who we all thought was dead) ended up surviving.

I feel like watching it again. It's one of those unsettling films you can't help but love and makes you mentally scared at the same time.

..Walk The Line..because it was on TV and still one of my favourite movies so 10/10...

Sleeping with the Enemy - 6/10

It's a good film and has an amazing but it gets boring after not so long and the ending is anticlimactic. The story is good though

..Beauty and the Beast...a perfect 10...:lovedup:...

Cloverfield - 8/10

This is such an underrated film tbh. The length of the film itself is perfect as you get enough time to get to know the characters and the rest of it isn't drawn out for too long so you'll never get bored. It's a nice addition to the 'found footage' genre and it's like a mix between Blair Witch Project and Godzilla for those who haven't seen it. The monster isn't anything special but the smaller, more spider-like ones are great, and the subway scene is done brilliantly. Also, there's not any characters that you find yourself disliking, which is unusual for horror films

Jurassic World.

Loved it.
