Jason Voorhees was outstanding, though I prefer Kane Hodder as an Actor. In this movie he is fast, furious and absolutely lethal. But other characters are flat. Actors from the 80's are so much better. They even can laugh from the top at the modern ones. I agree - some killings are good, but Jason is a silent killer, he is not a sadist. Seems like the makers of this motion picture don't understand that. He kills fast and unexpectedly. There are a lot of psychological things that could have been shown. Jason takes a captive? Why we should concentrate on sister if she is doomed anyway? Jason like a Friday 13th is a mystery, but in this film - not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the start where you thought you were meeting the characters just for them to all killed off (apart from the sister) Do agree that he just kills without the suspense in this film. Was looking forward to the Evil Dead remake when it came out but it wasn't a patch on the original Some graphic deaths but like Friday 13th characters were poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjambo21 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 John Wick 3 Parabellum If you like the first 2 installments you will love this one. John Wick on the run from the Continental and high table. As you can imagine lots of hard action. Numerous ways people get off'd and some funny moments too. 9.5/10 Hope people enjoy this as much as me.

Visually it still looks amazing albeit a bit messy in places but that’s understandable with it being over 30 years old! Story is still confusing and patchy especially at the beginning but it flows well. Worth a watch again if you are into SciFi. Theres a remake coming out in 2020 which I’m sure il see in the cinema. Dune is a cult classic in my opinion, such a shame Lynch never got to realise his true vision for the film though (as what he did manage is visually outstanding). Seriously looking forward to the remake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 82 version imo is the best remake of any sci- fi horror movie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hateful Eight Didn't have the usual zip you get from Tarantino for me.

CavySlaveJambo Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just seen Rocketman and I’d give it 7.5/10. I don’t feel the need to see it again this week, it is also a very much in your face account of drink and drugs and sometimes subtlety tells a story in a more powerful way. Mind you I like how they told the story. It is much more a musical about a person than biopic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. 7/10 Zac Efron was really good as Ted Bundy. It really showed how charismatic and manipulative Bundy was. It was quite weird seeing Jim Parsons in a serious role though.

Carl Fredrickson Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Rocketman. Was hoping for a biography but got a musical. I grew up in the 70s and 80s with the music of Elton John playing on the radio and in our house. I was familiar with the music but not the man. I dont know how accurate the film is other than EJ had a LOT of addiction issues but it was a compelling watch. Not usually a fan of musicals but I totally loved this one. The film flowed well with some tremendous acting. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a horror fan my collection and its extensive 2400 films only has about 2horrors - ones event horizon. Yeah, they are too fun to watch, great films. Event Horizon is an underrated movie, a little bit forgotten. So, from what I remember about it - it's better not to die in this film. Hell exists there in a brutal form, at least for a crew members. Great, in one movie you can't die, another one - better not die. I watched Edtv (1999): This guy is a part of the reality show (where cameras don't know what the break means), this situation almost destroyed his life and love . He wants to stop, but there is a contract. What to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Aladdin Disney are fair cashing in on the live action versions of older films. We really enjoyed Dumbo but Aladdin is spectacular. My two kids were blown away by it. The colours were so vibrant - it brought to mind the first time I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a kid in the 70s. The music is much the same as the original film but the one new song that I noticed was probably the weakest song. My daughter and son both want to go back to see it which is what Disney want. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Rocket Man Very impressed with this film. The musical set pieces worked well, good acting throughout from everyone (would really like to see an Oscar nomination for Taron Egerton) he has a tough part and gives it his all. And Richard Madden is the man as an actor right now, superb in his part. Recommend it 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
