MikeyVanBasten3 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ride Along 2, gave this a watch since I watched the 1st. I'm bored of Ice Cube in films now, even in the jump street series he's dull. 6/10 Blade. Haven't watched this in nearly 10 years, still enjoyed it as much as I did when I was younger. The last good film Wesley snipes made. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBC-91 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The revenant - not my kind of film, great acting though. Spectre - decent enough watch Sicario - confusing awful film, very disappointed. Trailer looked insane Legend - again great acting from hardy on Ron Kray but found it a bit boring The next three days - the best of the lot I thought ( on Netflix ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderDee Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Room 9/10 Excellent, powerful and beautiful. Brie Larson is superb as is the young co-star. Would recommend this to anyone The young boy was exceptional - deserves an oscar nod ! Edited February 22, 2016 by SpiderDee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Spotlight was excellent, All The Presidents Men II, but better. Didn't pull any punches but didn't over sentimentalise either. Half expected a BBC style statement at the end.."Other religions, schisms and sects are also guilty of abuse." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Triple 9 Thumbs down on this one from me. Some decent moments in there, but ultimately, it was filled with shit characters that I didn't care about. Everything was hollow and now that I think back, I can barely remember anything that happened. That's not a good sign for any movie. 3/10 Not sure I'd say Spotlight is QUITE as good as All the President's Men, but it does deserve the comparisons, and it's not that far off. It's a near classic, and one of the best movies of the century so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Not long back from seeing Deadpool. 9/10 I thought it was brilliant, laughed nearly the whole way through. Ryan Reynolds was superb and Morena Baccarin is an absolute wid. I agree with what someone else said in this thread, could have easily watched for another 30 mins. Looking forward to the next one already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Watched the remake of Robocop on C4 the other night against my better judgement. It was as pish as I thought it would be, totally lacking in the dark humour and violence of the original. I kind of got the impression that there was a slightly better film lying on the cutting room floor after they tried to get that all important PG13 rating in the States. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyVanBasten3 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 True lies, an absolute favourite of mine growing up. Great humour, great action..........and Jamie Lee is an absolute wid 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Up No idea. Had been out for my birthday lunch and didn't even make it through the credits before having a lager-induced Sunday nap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Just seen Trumbo, a bit meh. Could have done with more politics and courtroom scenes and less family stuff imo. John Goodman is good, it's OK but I'd wait for the dvd. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Up No idea. Had been out for my birthday lunch and didn't even make it through the credits before having a lager-induced Sunday nap. You should try and watch it again sometime. The opening alone is amazing although the rest is just as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Up is a terrific movie. Not quite up there with Pixar's very best, but it's not too far away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The opening montage of Up is fucking scarring. I leave the room for a few minutes any time the wean puts it on. Anyway, Shandon might be referring to Russ Meyer's Up! for all we know. If so, he missed an even bigger treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loon From Outta Toon Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Last Vegas! 6/10 some humerous scenes but nothing special in the film,the type of film for the family to watch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Winter In Wartime Pretty good Dutch film set near the end of WW2 in a German occupied small town in Holland. Seen very much through the eyes of a fourteen year old boy who wants to do his bit for the Resistance by helping an RAF pilot who has crash landed in the woods. Some pretty good and emotional scenes in the snow covered landscape with a good twist near the end. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Perfect Stranger - After her childhood friend is murdered, Halle Berry's investigative journalist stalks high-powered ad exec Bruce Willis, with whom her friend had been having an affair. Odd thriller than never quite involves, mainly due to having a p***kly and unsympathetic heroine. Not sure if the wife and I were tired, but it doesn't seem to do a very good job of connecting events, so there was a fair bit of "why is this happening?" going back and forth between us. Also feels way too self-aware in a post-Shyamalan way, constantly dangling red herrings and the promise of a big twist/twists. Not sure if something went awry between script and screen, but it feels a bit unsatisfying. Also, Halle Berry clearly took this role for the wardrobe, as her character literally changes clothes in every scene, and it's usually into something slinky, figure-hugging, and expensive-looking. Poor Phoebe's brother looks like shit by comparison. 'Cause, y'know, he usually looks better than Halle Berry...good one, Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 There's a fantastic scene in that, where Berry is in a car with Willis, and he threatens to punch her by raising his fist and screaming real loud in her face. I was laughing like f**k. That was the only thing of note in the movie. It's honking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
