rudi must stay Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The Circle I thought this was an excellent film, really makes you think watching it and it has some great scenes. The acting is excellent as well, Tom Hanks strolls a difficult part and Emma Watson puts in a great performance, John Boyega puts in a good shift in a cameo part too 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Finally got round to watching Luther. Firstly I would say that the first two trailors for it were shown at 12A movies and my son was desperate to see it but it was released as a 15. He is disappointed as he wanted to see it. Having watched it on my own last night, he will have to wait quite a while before he will see it Thought it was one of the better "superhero" movies I have seen BUT the wee lassies constant screaming was awful. Would give it 7/10 - more if the screaming wasnt in it so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Dunkirk 6/10 Looks like a poor score but I did enjoy it and it was really well made. I wanted to like it more but behind the great music and sound there's not a lot there. It down a pretty poor job of conveying the scale of the operation (looked like maybe a few tens of thousands of people were involved and not nearly half a million.) What is there is really good though and the tension is great but just missed more meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The Drop 8.5/10 The boy from the Sopranos last film before he died. Tom Hardy is outstanding as his cousin together reluctantly running a bar as a money laundering enterprise for Chechan gangsters. Some cool twists. Noomi Rapace, she of the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo films also good alongside some good supporting performances. There's a dog also.

VivaObua Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Mummy Reboot. 7/10 Had read terrible reviews but enjoyed it alot darker than I expected but worth watching if you liked the originals. Transformers 5 5/10 Strange plot and took me 3 attempts as I kept falling asleep. Wasted the franchise a few films ago hopefully this will be the last. Going in Style. 8/10 3 skint pensioners attempt to rob a bank that shafted one of them, a nice fun easy to follow film. Good cast kept it flowing. Cars 3 7/10 Watched this with the 3 kids and I was the only one who didn't lose interest! Not sure what happened with the young ones but I thought there was enough humour and plot to enjoy it quite short which helped.

Shanks said no Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Letters from Baghdad 7/10 Interesting documentary about the life of Gertrude Bell. A contemporary of T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) who is remembered more although it is argued she had more influence in setting up the modern day Arab states. Having read a lot about Lawrence it was a decent take of WW1 middle eastern affairs. Main voice over by Tilda Swinton and some great archive footage of the time.

Zico Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 A bit late with some films from the Edinburgh Film Festival but caught a few decent ones. Operation Mekong - I love a good Chinese action film and this was quality. Based on the true story of Chinese cops busting Thai drug smugglers on the Mekong river. Great fighting and some of the action scenes are insane. Very enjoyable. 8/10 Kaleidoscope - weird psychological drama starring the excellent Toby Jones and directed by his brother. A guy gets out of prison, goes out on a date that turns out badly and then his mother turns up. Not bad but not great. Saw Toby Jones there and he's built like the gable end of a fiver. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Just back from the War for the Planet of the Apes, thought it was brilliant. Think it would have to be a seriously bad film for me to dislike a Planet of the Apes movie. Out of the modern ones though my favourite is still the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Thought that was great because you get to see how it all started and to see Caeser's character develop. Anyway, War of the Planet of the Apes?8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar PHM Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) The Invisible Guest (aka Contratiempo) Spanish subtitled murder mystery thriller. Recommended to me by a pal and it was bloody excellent I think its on Netflix now It has more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing and an ending you wont forget in a hurry.

Zico Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Another couple from last month's film festival... The Story Of A Girl - coming of age drama about a teenage girl dealing with the aftermath of her sex tape going viral. Directed by Kyra Sedgwick and starring her husband, Kevin Bacon. Well acted and worth watching - not sure you'd want to watch it if you have a teenage daughter though! 7/10 The Last Photograph - directed by and starring Danny Huston (who sat directly behind me) about a father struggling to deal with the loss of his son in the Lockerbie disaster. Decent. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 My name is Lenny 6/10 Mixed feelings about this biopic about Lenny McLean. It felt like a warts and all portrayal that showed him to be a mentally defective thug. Somehow though you were meant to care by the end that he was undefeated and had written a book and starred in a film but he was still a mentally defective thug.

Shanks said no Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 ?Pet 5/10 A psychological thriller about a bloke who puts a woman in a cage. Quite a few twists but not that great. Dominic Monaghan from Lost stars. The Ridiculous 6 7/10 Really surprised that I quite enjoyed this Adam Sandler western. Its a throwback to Blazing Saddles and although it lacks the originality it did cheer me up and I did enjoy the juvenile humour. Good for a wet Sunday afternoon with a hangover.

As I said, I initially wasn't feeling this film, but after seeing the trailer I changed my mind. Went yesterday to see it and it certainly didn't disappoint. A cracking DC offering, the whole family really enjoyed it. 8/10 Had to go back 3 pages to find you 2 ****ers 1hr 10 mins I endured of that pish.

I did like Ian McKellen's acting though, he gives it his all in this film. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
