chester copperpot Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just back from seeing Kong:Skull Island. Quite simply...9.5/10 Best movie action wise, cinematography, even sound wise, I have seen in a long time. Just watched this and although wasn't bad I think 9.5 is waaaay too high. 6/10 for me though the fight with Kong and the big lizard was pretty cool tho.

chester copperpot Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 To each their own. Take it you never went for the large White Lightning slushy with your popcorn then? I partly think that was the problem. Didn't watch it in the cinema where I have no doubts would have been a far more enjoyable film. Still enjoyed it tho. I have quite a black or white taste in movies. Either amazing or awful. This one was pretty good tho so that's probably a 7 instead of a 6 then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Trespass Against Us...A film about a gypsy family, where Chad (Michael Fassbender) is trying to escape from a life under his overpowering criminal father (Brendan Gleeson) to start a new life elsewhere for the sake of his children. It's a bit of a slow burner, but alright, nothing special...6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...a bit disco Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Rogue One Went in to this only knowing the basic plot (rebels nick DS plans) so was pleasantly surprised by the whole affair. A more 'grown-up' Star Wars movie. With sad bits. (Maybe I'm having a midlife crisis or somesuch ) 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Gin Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I, Daniel Blake 6/10 About a Geordie Bloke who has a heart attack and then gets screwed over by the benefits system trying to force him back to work early. Decent enough but pretty depressing, and was a bit like an even bleaker than normal episode of Eastenders, only longer and set in Newcastle.

luckyBatistuta Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Pandora (Netflix) Korean disaster movie about a nuclear meltdown at a neglected plant. Usual Korean overacting in parts but a good film nonetheless. Sad too. 7/10 Love Korean films, proper old movies like they used to make. Yes, they do overact at times, but it's something a bit different. This film was excellent imo...9/10 and sad is an understatement. Definitely worth a watch.

luckyBatistuta Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Operation Avalanche... a movie about young filmmakers (Matt Johnson, Owen Williams) who are recruited by the CIA in 1967 to shoot footage of a fake moon landing after learning that NASA is losing the space race to the Russians. The film has had some mixed reviews, but I quite enjoyed it, but maybe that's because I believe the moon landing was actually faked...7/10 Edited March 28, 2017 by luckyBatistuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Get Out - comedy horror about a black guy who goes on a weekend visit to meet his white girlfriend's family where things aren't what they seem. Lots of hype and it's got some interesting things to say about racial politics in the US but not enough horror for me. Good fun though. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Just back from taking the kids to see Beauty and the Beast at the cinema. I didn't really want to watch it, but you've got to suck it up for the kids. I was pleasantly surprised though, it was actually quite good. I'll give it a 7/10, might have helped that my seat was so comfortable and drinks were very good, because the Dominion is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Ghostbusters (2016) Wasn't really expecting much to be honest but I actually enjoyed it. Great to see most of the cast from the original making cameo appearances. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Free Fire - arms deal goes wrong. Which is the set up for an hour long shootout in a warehouse.

Carl Fredrickson Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Boss Baby. My 6 year old has been wanting to see this since he saw a trailer for it months ago. A couple of funny moments but I doubt I will ever watch it again. 4/10 from me, 9/10 from my son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Kong island 8/10. Can't go wrong with Samuel l jackson and King Kong in the same film. Entertaining and cool monster effects make it a really decent watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Kong Island on the reviews on here and I really enjoyed it. Cant add to what has already been mentioned. The Most Hated Woman In America. The true story of Madalyn Murray O'Hair who founded the Amercian Athiests organisation and won a court battle Re the right to pray in US schools. Very interesting film, acting wasnt the greatest but the story was enough to keep me interested for its 92 minutes. 7/10 Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Watched this with my son last night and he loved it. Similar in feel to A Serious of Unfortunate Events, a decent family movie. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The Light between the Oceans 3/10 Thought it was one for the wife but she hated it too. If you watch the trailer then you've watched the film. Dull, boring and stupid. A lighthouse keeper goes on a guilt trip when he does something wrong.

Shanks said no Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 A Street cat named Bob 7.5/10 A very pleasant British film. Based on a true story / book about a junkie beggar who reforms. A few good laughs but maybe portrayed things a little too cleanly for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The Siege of Jadotville - 7/10 True story of an Irish UN peace keeping force in the Congo in 1961. I won't say much more about the story, but an interesting watch with a decent amount of action. Stars Jamie Dornan (from The Fall), Mark String, and the guy who played Roose Bolton in Game of Thrones. It's on Netflix for those without Kodi.

Mikey1874 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ghost in the Shell 6/10 Its okay. Worth a look. Story is okay with some twists. Graphics good with interesting future possibilities for advertising, entertainment and security. I'll not mention the story line here. I left with a familiar feeling that outwith some story details its a familar action, buddy formula. Scarlett Johansson is cool and worth seeing the movie for if she is your cup of cinnamon tea. And Schroedgeor's cat is in it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely understand why Hailee Steinfeld was nominated for a Golden Globe. Woody Harrelson brings dry wit as the teacher who really doesn't give a shit. Good coming of age film.

It was maybe because I was actually trying to forget that I ever watched it. I know it's based on a true story, but I think it could have actually been quite a good film.
