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...
Father Dougal McGuire 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 Na, the book is pretty shite too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Just gave Toni Erdmann another go, well worth a repeat watch, officially bumping up from an 8 to a 9/10. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hidden Figures Like sitting through three episodes of Call The Midwife back to back with Pharrell Williams b sides blaring every few minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (40) Hidden Figures 6/10 Quite enjoyed this, Kirsten Dunst looks so oooooold, if that's what doing crystal meth with Johnny Razorlight does to you then count me out! Also Janelle Monae was really good. Paint-by-numbers anti-racism film with a slightly more interesting than normal backdrop -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hell or High Water Loved it. Jeff B was superb. Liked the laid back dry humour. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Patriots Day A retelling of the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013. First thing's first; I think it's much too soon to be making a film of it...that being said, I was pleasantly surprised at how affecting this was in places. Don't get me wrong, it had it's 'Murica! moments, but overall this was very good. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Passengers 6/10Jennifer Lawrence parades about in next to nothing for an hour and a half. A bit of a space story with colonies etc but nobodys interested in that shite. Chris Pratt is piling in to her as they are the only two awake from a hypersleep. Bit beasty the way he just wakes her up and not any of the other 5000 people there. Cant imagine why... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Assault on precinct 13. The original, not the remake. I love this film .It's tense, atmospheric and gripping. The soundtrack is perfect too. Every time I watch it I always feel like I want more. Like I want to know more about the characters, what happens to them next etc. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The Equalizer - remake of the old Edward Woodward TV show. Great viewing if you're in the mood for watching an unstoppable killing machine relentlessly work his way through hordes of bad guys; not quite a Taken-style torture bloodbath, but a more cold and meticulous approach. I liked it, and could watch Denzel Washington do this shit all day. Now I just need to work out where I put those DVDs of the TV show... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The Two Escobars From the ESPN series 30 for 30. Really interesting and sad really about the the killing for that own goal in the US world cup . It tells the story of the link between the cartels and club teams in Columbia. Ultimately leading to the killing of Andres Escobar. The kind of doc I like 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just back from the cinema after watching split. Really enjoyed it tbh. Me and the GF tried to watch it on Exodus and we ended up getting a film about ten pin bowling! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
