Christophe Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) (119) Lords of Dogtown 6/10 Enjoyable enough but yeah bit pointless given that the (much better) documentary about the same people (made by the same guy!) already existed (Netflix) Edited June 5, 2017 by Christophe -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (120) Life on the Road 4/10 Ricky Gervais clutching at straws as he resurrects David Brent. Just a rehash of The Office, but without the subtlety and thus is no longer believable. (Presumably because he's not working with Smerch). Some laugh out loud moments, but too few and far between. Comedy songs are shit. Dom Johnson is funny in parts. Basically a film about itself. (Amazon Prime) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramagamma Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I love the office, extras, all the Karl Pilkington stuff, I'm a huge admirer of Ricky Gervais but between that movie and The Invention of Lying he should not be allowed on the big screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (121) Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid 7/10 Pleasant, but not as good as I remember it being. (Netflix) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like The Invention of Lying, and the one where he can see ghosts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co.Down Hibee Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 War Machine (Netflix) Brad Pitt as the leader of the US forces in Afghanistan trying to find stability in a crazy situation.Decent enough black comedy with a touch of satire , loses its way at times . Don't be expecting loads of action ,isn't really that type of war film. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The Longest Day I put the DVD on as a kind of tribute to the guys who went through it for real, 73 years ago today. I did the same with Saving Private Ryan. 9/10. Sobering. Respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Nooka Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Life - A very good Alien remake where astronauts recover a probe from Mars and discover life ergo 'shit hits the fan'. There's plenty of tension in this largely by the numbers creature feature and it does have a very bold ending which I enjoyed. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There's a DL now. Thought it was terrible tbh. Loved the ending though, even if it was predictable. They played it superbly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Watched Split last night, loved it. Was a very tense watch, loads if twists and turns. Wasn't crazy about the ending but the whole concept of the film was excellent. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 McLaren..........8/10 Documentary about Bruce McLaren, racing driver from New Zealand, charting his racing career from the early days through to forming his own team bearing his name and his untimely early death while testing. Lots of archive footage and interviews with major players from back in the day which I found interesting as I didn't know much about his story. Probably more for motorsports fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (122) The Big Short 6/10 About the financial crisis. Really enjoyed this and Steve Carell was really good. Could have come across as really didactic, but got the balance just right I think. (Netflix) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
