Based on 3 African American woman working for NASA in segregated Virginia in the 60s. Really enjoyed it as I do with most true story movies. Thought Kevin Costner was superb in a supporting role. I recommend it to you all.8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Girl on the Train Meh. I can see why folk enjoyed it. You get a decent amount of depth to the three characters. My problem was that the three characters were extremely boring and I couldn't warm to any of them. It was sooooo slow as well. I didn't feel the pace ever went faster than 'steady'. Even when we find out what happened it was done in an extremely slow manner. Just a dull film in general for me. I get the impression the book would have been far better and perhaps it was a complex story that couldn't really have been transferred well to the big screen. Probably worth a watch as a lot of folk will enjoy it but I watched it as 'everyone' was going on about it. It'll be my first and last viewing. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Lovings.. Enjoyed it but there was a certain tension missing from it that I had expected. Totally fair to show their obvious love and to concentrate on that and their legal struggle but no KKK in it I found surprising. Unless of course their address was kept so secret. Still enjoyed it having said all of the above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I thought Hacksaw Ridge was really corny and wouldn't recommend it at all but I seem to be in the minority with that. Out of all the screener films I've seen I only liked Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A film/doc I think you would like is The Act of Killing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alki narrator had her moments but all the characters were pretty samey, none of them blessed with the ability to successfully put 2 and 2 together so when we finally got to the twist, it was something of a relief that one of them had managed to figure out what was fairly obvious from about halfway through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Watched Central Intelligence on The Netflix over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised by it, especially as from the trailer it looked like yet another addition to the Kevin Hart oeuvre where he plays the hapless stooge, dragged along on an adventure against his will, only this time with The Rock. Laughed out loud a few times, loved the line they give Kumail Nanjiani on the supposed transportation of a transplant dick: "I am made of questions right now." Requires 5% concentration at most and probably something I'll end up watching a few times, possibly while hungover or on a plane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than you'd expect of a Rock/Kevin Hart "comedy". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the screener films I've seen I only liked Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea. The reviews of it (that I've seen) are pretty scathing and say it's like a bad made for tv movie yet it's getting a big thumbs up on here (apart from by you). Going to the cinema tomorrow and was going to go to Moonlight but The Founder sounds interesting, the missus likes Keanu so going to John Wick would earn brownie points, 20th Century Women sounds good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I personally thought Moonlight was shite. Ive seen 8 of the 9 films up for best picture (only need to see Hidden Figures) and the only ones i would watch again were Hacksaw Ridge, Lion and Hell Or High Water 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hell or High Water. Forgot that was one of the nominees. That, Hacksaw Ridge and Fences are well ahead of the rest for me. It's the weakest year in that category for a while I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
