I think it's funny that you have only just watched this for the first time.

 

Not really up to my standards throbbs, just try to find scary films my 11 y/o daughter can watch. Terminator is up next.

Whisky Galore

Only vaguely remembered this from when I was a kid and just watched it again the other day. Really excellent. Yes it has some clunkiness as you'd expect of an Ealing comedy but much of the humour is sharper and blacker than I was expecting. A bit Father Ted meets Wicker Man. 

"Spare the rod and spoil the child". 

It's a celebration of the dubious merits of a good bevvy and generally subversive and witty. Well worth seeking out. 

8/10

On Tuesday night I watched :

Patriots Day:
Believe it or not, I didn't actually know the Boston marathon bombings was a real event, I never watch the news, don't read newspapers and if it was mentioned in work, then I obviously wasn't paying much attention as I have the memory of a sponge at the best of times, but anyway....
Thoroughly enjoyed this film, I really like Mark Wahlberg but he annoyed me in this film for some reason. I get the NEED for Hollywood to have a main hero, I really do, but I was more entranced in the story and the subsequent chase of the terrorists. The use of the actual CCTV of the bombers is very good as well, esp the kidnapping and the actual 911 call from the Chinese fella.
The last 10 mins when they show the real people involved was very interesting also.

8/10 - will watch again.



I watched this the other day and i was very impressed. I knew it was a real event but i wasnt aware of how it all unfolded. One of the best films ive seen in quite some time..... im a sucker for those types of films tho. Wont say much about it but its a very very good watch.

8 - 10

As Above, So Below, 5/10

Had been meaning to watch this for ages, it cam out when I was over in paris, and having spent a while using the underground, thought it may tie into this.

sadly it didn't, but starts of with a Lara Croft esque lead looking for ancient relic, mixed in with some urban explorers. The first hour i found really watchable and one of the better "found footage", films, but didn't really pull off the horror part in the last 30 minutes, in the main her running back to the chamber alone was pretty woeful.

Annie Hall 7.5/10

Never watched any of his movies so wasn't sure what to expect. Felt quite aimless in spells but some genuinely laugh out loud points. Some great one liners throughout.

Rogue One

Decent enough but didn't need the needless cameos or constant reminders of the other films. It started off really well then ended up with all the usual guff. Needed more originality, it's an entire galaxy ffs.

5/10

The Way Back

Was surprised at this, pretty decent watch but some strange accents and Ed Harris just deciding not to even attempt one.

:lol:

7/10

Life

Falls into a couple of overly obvious 'space film clichés' near the end but I absolutely loved it. Great fun. Bit of the Deep Blue Sea vibe to it with one scene in particular ;)

Really really enjoyed it. A lot of the plot has been done before but it was just done very well.

8/10.

Watched that to finish my double bill and found it pretty boring. Just felt like the same thing going on over and over again. That said, I did like the ending. The whole climax was well done actually. Hectic and pretty good misdirection to distract from what could easily have been a predictable finish.

I'll give it 3 for that but I didn't like it on the whole.

Blasphemy about the fight scene in They Live being over-long!  :o  Should be called David Icke: The Movie, with V being The TV Series. Sadly, nobody told him they aren't documentaries.

Had an unexpected opportunity to take the wean to the cinema tonight, so I was all over it like elephantiasis on Throbber's foreskin. Saw Kong: Skull Island, which was pretty decent. Had read that the characters were pretty nondescript, but I thought they did a good enough job of making them stand out from each other, and occasionally one would die that I'd been hoping would survive. This was the best role I've seen Sam Jackson get his teeth into for a while, for example.

We were the only ones who stayed for the post-credits sequence for some reason; it managed to get the wean excited about a Godzilla film for the first time, which is no bad thing. He really enjoyed this one too.

Have blurry memories where I think I've seen They Live but not sure if I have...

Is it a big pile of far fetched bollocks starring Roddy Piper??

Close. It's a big pile of far-fetched tremendously entertaining bollocks starring Roddy Piper!

I might take this reptilian overlord pish more seriously if David Icke sounded like Keith David. That's a voice that demands respect, dammit.
