morrison Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Detroit 9/10 (cinema) One of the films of the year so far. It's really powerful, laced with tension and does a very good job at giving a white guy living 50 years ahead of events a tiny glimpse at what a serious bloody mess certain parts of the US found themselves in. I can't do it justice, but the 2h 20 minutes did not feel remotely that long - no clock watching from me, anyway. Atomic Blonde 6/10 (cinema) Style over substance, it's fair to say. McAvoy plays a twat very well, Theron was excellent, but barring two cracking fight sequences - the second one feeling brutal and rather more believable than I'm used to seeing - and the frequent appearance of nipples, there isn't much going for it. Didn't need the whole last 5-10 minutes either; would have been more satisfying without it. IT 6/10 (1990, DVD) I was a little disappointed by this. It was actually the acting of the grown up versions, rather than that of the kids that grated a little, plus the effects have dated pretty poorly as you might expect. Still, as a fan of the book, this seemed fairly true to it (it's been a few years since I read it) and I enjoyed the refresh ahead of the remake due out shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out she was quite impressed by the hot lesbian action and the brutal violence, less so by the sound track. I thought was going to be a tongue in cheek Bond type thing. Found the plot a bit silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hot lesbian action and brutal violence? Your maw seems like fun, WB. Movie nights at her place must be a blast. Not that your recommendations aren't valued, but please pass hers on in the future too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Logan Lucky - 8/10 (cinema). Really enjoyed this. Thought Adam Driver in particular was excellent. It Follows - 2/10 (Netflix).Horrendous acting, and hated the constant desire to try and build tension. Couldn't get into it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Pacific Rim.2/10, and that's for the cloverfield-esque monsters alone. Utterly shoite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I liked it. Not amazing, but better than 80% of horror films on Netflix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 On 8/23/2017 at 00:57, D.A.F.C said: Life Better than any new shit aliens film with a fraction of the budget 8/10 Calvin is a dick though Caught this (on DVD) on Monday. Also enjoyed it. Calvin is indeed a dick. Really enjoyed the ending. When the fishermen look in to the capsule and it's revealed to be David and the music kicks in is brilliant, and then you see Miranda firing off to a lonely death deep in space which is also brilliant. Bad news for the fishermen. The crew made all the classic mistakes and had plenty of chances to kill Calvin, but of course continually fucked up. Ignoring procedures in these situations never ends well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The Hitmans Bodyguard.....7/10Only put this on to check the quality of my stream and not with the intention of watching the whole thing. Got drawn into it and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. The action and car/boat/bike chase scenes were most entertaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Miami Connection ( DVD ) Yes. DVD. Anyways, this is a hard one to rate. It's clearly a fucking dreadful movie, but it's definitely one of those ones which is great because of it. The acting, the cheese and the bonkers stuff going on make this such an entertaining watch. It contains probably my favourite on screen father/son reunion ever, a "have to see to believe" stabbing scene and just rip roaring cuntery on all fronts. I'd recommend it though. I suppose it's not THAT hard to rate. It's grossly entertaining and the rating should reflect that. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Rememory 2017. Billed as a sci-fi movie bit more a murder-mystery with a slight sci-fi McGuffin Peter Dinklage is good as a guy who comes into possession of said McGuffin and uses it to find out the truth about his brother's death. Anton Yelchin's final film before his bizarre death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Ghoulies - bit annoyed at myself, as this was nothing like the film I remembered from when I was a wean, and was a load of old shite. Turns out the film I'd wanted to watch was Critters, a half-decent horror comedy rip-off of Gremlins. Instead I sat through a turgid mess about some dudes trying to summon wee demons. I've nothing against shit puppets and bad acting, but the story in this was incredibly dull, and now I don't regret bypassing the video box so many times in the Eighties, despite having been sorely tempted to rent it. You remember the cover, I'm sure: Watched on Netflix, with a deeply unimpressed family scowling at me throughout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
