killienick Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Robot and Frank 8/10 So much better than it sounds.. Set in the near future, an old guy is starting to lose his memory. His kids struggle to keep an eye on him so get him a helper robot. Old boy was a burglar and gets the robot to start helping him with robberies. They strike up a friendship and.. not much happens. Just a really sweet, funny film. Loved that film. When I told my brother in law about it he thought I said Robot Anne Frank and instantly imagined a sci-fi epic where a young dutch cyborg defeats the Nazis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Heartbreak Ridge was on telly last night. Forgot how good it was, they seemed to hit a golden age for cheesy action films in the 80's, though Clint Eastwood manages to elevate his character above the one dimensional grizzled old soldier type with a surprisingly nuanced performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wife has got the online shopping bug and has been ordering DVD's recently. Spotlight and Sicario arrived yesterday. Will probably watch them during the bank holiday weekend. Anyone know if they're any good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenElves Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wife has got the online shopping bug and has been ordering DVD's recently.Spotlight and Sicario arrived yesterday. Will probably watch them during the bank holiday weekend.Anyone know if they're any good? Spotlight is very good. Good dialogue and good acting. Although there isn't any action in it, so some people might find it boring.( I really enjoyed it). Not seen Sicario yet but I've heard it's good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Spotlight is one of the best movies of the last 15 years for me. Utterly wonderful work. Sicario is pretty good. It felt a bit hollow to me, and some of the more supposedly exciting stuff fell flat, but it's a good two hours of entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieT1314 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Knock knock - kean reeves is home alone when two tidy burds turn up at his door giving it the damsel in distress act. He falls for it with terrible consequences. 6/10. Usual wooden performance from kean bit he gets 10/10 for his comedy performance in the final scene. Funniest thing I have seen in years. Watched it back about ten times and was still chuckling about it going to sleep last night. Worth watching for this alone. All completely unintentional of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Given how much intentional similar stuff there is, I'd give benefit of the doubt. Thought Keanu played the role pretty well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I just watched that 'Knock Knock'. Keanu Reeves' acting is terrible in it, it completely ruins any kind of tension they are trying to build. It's almost one of those, so bad it's good films. 4/10 At least his character got a funny story to tell when he's an old man down the pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieT1314 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) The scene when he is buried was class. The rest was the usual wooden acted, bad written, cliché bound, plot hole ravaged mess I have come to expect from these types of film.

JamieT1314 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Just put keanu gets upset (knock knock) into youtube. Save yourself 90 minutes. Edited May 26, 2016 by JamieT1314 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The Nice Guys - 8/10. Went to the Unlimited screening of this last night and thought it was great. Ryan Gosling was hilarious. The storyline is a bit ridiculous, but its very good-humoured and the two hours flew by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storyline is a bit ridiculous, but its very good-humoured and the two hours flew by. Very much looking forward to seeing this. A big fan of Shane Black movies. For me, he's arguably one of the most consistent writers for films out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Humanoids from the Deep - a science experiment goes wrong, and a breed of mutant mermen attack a small fishing community. Every bit as daft and cheap as you'd expect from Roger Corman's production company, this was still quite entertaining in that terrible B-movie way, with some surprisingly decent and varied practical creature and gore effects. Also doesn't hurt that there are a plethora of attractive lassies running about in the nip for a good portion of the running time - Corman kens his audience. An easy 80 minutes or so, if you're in the mood for something containing rubber rape monsters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Grimsby Holy shit. One of those films that is so bad that it might be good. Childish and immature for the most part but there are a few chuckles in there as well. I genuinely dont know what to make of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeboy Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The Legend of Barney Thompson. Decent enough watch, I think it being Glaswegian kept me interested though. If it was set in England I'd probably of put it off. Some genuine laugh out loud moments. 6/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Jungle Book 8/10 would have been an 9 or even a 10, had they not taken the Beatles out or changed the end . Cleverly done mind. Grimbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Trainwreck. 3/5. Not a fan of rom com at all and this did nothing to change my mind. I do like Amy Schumer though so I was hoping for a bit of her comedy style. There wasn't as much of it as I'd like but there was a few good lines in there. What I'd really hoped was to avoid schmultz and that went fairly well until the end. I'd watch it again but only if I stumbled on it when there was nothing else on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
