Dear lord, that's the sort of film my son would pick for us to watch on a Sunday night .

 

Dear Lord indeed and my daughter chose it. Both of my kids have a deep fascination with sharks and alligators/crocs

[The Internet]

Light of my Life - written and directed by casey affleck who stars in it. Interesting little take on an apocalyptic event. Has a kind of The Road feel about it but didn't grab me as much as i hoped it would. 7/10. 

[Tazio]

Eventually got around to The Green Book. Nice take on the buddy road movie genre. 

[Ray Gin]

El Camino

7/10

Good to see Jesse's story get a proper ending all these years later. 

[Vlad Magic]

Started to watch Mortal Machines last night but fell asleep half way through.

 

Is it worth me carrying on where I left off? Impressions of first half were not great.

[rudi must stay]

Fast Girls

 

A generic hero to zero tale about a sprinter. Forgettable from minute one onwards but I'll give it a 5 is it wasn't arty or pretentious

 

5/10

Homies

 

Turned off after 45 minutes.

 

Horrendous

 

1/10

 

Sorry, it was Holmes and Watson.

[Beave1874]

Apologies if posted already. Between 2 ferns on Netflix. Very good laugh and had not know this had been a YouTube show for years. How the actors hold their laughter through some of the questions is amazing. I thought very funny.

Finished watching this last night. It’s not very good. There are some decent CGI scenes of massive city like machines blasting across land on tracks but the story is cack and acting rubbish.

 

OK for a bit of Saturday night nonsense but not worth much else.

If you watch to the end of the credits, they hanve a load of out takes of them struggling to get through the questions.

Escape from Warsaw (Lauf Junge Lauf) 

8/10

True story of an 8 year old boy who escapes from the Warsaw Jewish ghetto during WWII.

[Carl Fredrickson]

Gemini Man. Decent idea poor film. Will Smith seems to make huge amounts with no more acting ability than a plank of wood. 3/10

Loved the look of the very first trailer then subsequently lost all interest when I seen the final trailer.

 

I am liking this de-ageing ability being used now however. Has the potential to keep big stars in films forever if they are happy being milked once they are dead!

[jambopilms]

Fractured 

New Netflix film, quite slow to get going but worth it in the end. Good twist.

7/10

[rudi must stay]

Wreck it Ralph 2

 

Not as good as the first but that's a very tough task. Still it had some very funny moments

 

7/10

Mostly right but not in the case of The Pursuit of Happiness. He is excellent in that film

In the shadow of the moon.

 

Netflix science fiction movie starring Boyd Holbrook.

Sort of time travel thriller.

Starts off really well and kept me interested all the way through the movie.

High concept film which is a change from all the superhero movies lately.

 

Give it a go 7/10

[jim747]

2 on Netflix yesterday (home with manflu)

 

El Camino, A Breaking Bad story, bit boring to be honest 5/10

 

A Star is Born, liked it more than I thought I would, 8/10

[The Internet]

Joker is phenomenal really is my kind of film. 9/10.

Funny that, I was in asda tonight and the woman in front of me had one of those printed cakes, she'd made a Slayer cake for her metal son. It was pretty epic to be fair. 

[Lovecraft]

Child's Play 2019

 

5/10

 

Would have been 4/10 if Aubrey Plaza wasn't in it.  The only reason I watched it TBH.

 

Movie about a doll that comes to life and......   You already know, you have seen the original.

 

Tired, tired, lazy, regurgitated crap.  The movie industry is ****ed.

 

Who ever wanted to see a remake of this?

 

Only when checking the IMDB page to see who the fat guy was that looked like Jack Black, did I find out Mark Hamill was the voice of Chucky in it.

 

Mark ****ing Hamill.

 

I really wish people would stop going to the cinema and paying to see this kind of shite.

 

Sad thing is:   It cost cost $10M to make and made over $50M, so expect more shite like this when investors can get a return like that.

Another 2 thanks to Manflu n Netflix..

Aquaman, liked it more than I thought I would (probably Amber Heard's fault) 8/10

 

The Laundromat, funny in bits, fascinating and yet a wee bit depressing at the same time, 8/10

Ye fair score. What an actor Gary Oldman is, really brought his best to this one

[Carl Fredrickson]

Official Secrets. 

Based on the true events when a GCHQ member of staff leaked a memo prior to the UK and US going to war with Iraq. 

Very well made and Ikea Knightly plays the lead role very well

A solid 8/10

Wow, think you are the first person i’ve ever heard say that they liked it. One of the worst films I’ve ever seen.

[Boof]

Managed to catch The Outlaw Josey Wales on ITV4 last night.

 

Fairly typical Eastwood performance, so a good watch.

[tokyowalnut]

Terminator: Dark Fate 6.5/10

 

A sequel to Terminator 2, nothing to do the recent movies.

 

It's fine. You know what you're going to get, action, mad stunts, some good Arnie one liners, and lot of shite 😆 A good Friday afternoon movie!

[neilnunb]

Halloween (2018)

 

Some cracking death scenes. Who doesn't love a good stomp on the head? And the cliched chubby kid getting it tight

😄

 

7/10

 

 

[Ray Gin]

Watched two decent films on Netflix yesterday:

 

Arctic  7/10

Mads Mikkelson stars as a man stranded in the Arctic after a plane crash. A slow burner with very little dialogue, but I really enjoyed it.

 

The Red Sea Diving Resort  7/10

Based on true events in the early 80s, about a group of undercover Israeli agents trying to rescue Ethiopian jewish refugees by smuggling them out of Sudan.

[rudi must stay]

Psycho

 

First time I'd watched Psycho, not my scene usually but id managed to avoid or forgotten spoilers. Creepy film, really tense

 

10/10

Actually thinking about it again, Arctic probably deserves an 8 for Mikkelson's performance. Totally captivates you despite barely saying anything throughout the film. Masterful and deserves some nominations with awards season looming.

 

[jambopilms]

Wounds

New Netflix film

Awful stuff

[sadj]

Just watched Dark Knight 4k unbelievable with the 4k and a proper sound system 😍

[Carl Fredrickson]

Countdown. Not the quiz show but the story of an app that tells you when you will die. Thought the idea was good though couldnt help but think I have seen a film about something similar but not an app

 

One of those films that try to build up tension before a "jumpy" moment. One did get me - big time. 

 

A bit predictable but an ok watch 7/10

[maroondevo52]

Joker 10/10 Superb.

[Ron Burgundy]

Once Upon a Time in London.

 

Oh dear, don't bother.

It's like Green Street in the 40's / 50's.

 

Most of the same actors as well.

[The Internet]

In The Tall Grass. Stephen King adaptation where a couple hear a kid shouting for help from a field where the grass is really tall so go in to help and get stuck. ****ing weird, but better than I expected. 

 

6/10.

Yeah I’d heard some really bad things about it too. I was always gonna watch and personally thought it was better than I’d heard it was going to be so 7 possibly 8/10 for me. 
Just watched the Maradona docu film and that was excellent. Felt a bit sorry for him at the end the way it all worked out he actually seemed a good guy that came from absolutely nothing and just ended up surrounded by madness and found it impossible to avoid the pitfalls. What a ****ing footballer he was. 
A great watch. 
9/10

[rudi must stay]

Dead in a week or Your Money Back

 

Black comedy with Tom Wilkinson playing an ageing hitman. Better than I expected, quite a funny script at times. Decent 

 

6/10

[Vlad Magic]

Long haul flight back from Canada sat and watched A Star Is Born with Brad Cooper and Lady Gaga.

 

Strong performances from both Brad and Gaga. Great soundtrack and a very sad ending.

 

8/10

[Shanks said no]

Jellyfish (on sky movies)

 

9/10

 

powerful and brutal portrayal of a family in Tory Britain. Had to check it wasn’t a Ken Loach film. 

 

Liv Hill is astonishing in it. 

Edited October 30, 2019 by The Frenchman Returns
If a star is born is an 8 then this is a 9

[Carl Fredrickson]

Watched the new Terminator last night. Same old story, decent actions scenes but nothing special. 6/10

[Madjambo21]

Wounds (Netflix)

 

Horror film with Armie Hammer, Dakota Johnson and zazie beatz. 

 

One of the worst films I think I have ever watched.

Good cast but absolutely pish. Would love to know other peoples opinions on it.

 

2/10

[dobmisterdobster]

Joker - 9/10

Zombieland 2 - 8/10
