What utter shite. 4/10. And that's being generous.

I gave up on it and left Mrs to watch it, she appeared to be enjoying it.

decent. Passed the time. 

Generous, pretty obvious and unrealistic. I stayed the course but only a 5/10 for me.

The orphan on Netflix.

Decent horror with a good twist at the end.

7/10

Didn't realise I had seen it before about 10 years ago, until I made the same inappropriate remark as I had made the  first time when the twist came. Wife pulled me up again.

6.5/10

[Dawnrazor]

1917.

9/10, great film.

[luckyBatistuta]

Just watched...The Stoning of Soraya M (from the makers of Passion of the Christ)

I’m glad I watched it, but found it quite disturbing. I already knew about this happening and the fact it still continues today, but still found my anger building watching it. When will these people ever move on from these barbaric activities😞

[Maple Leaf]

I watched three movies over the weekend. That's the first time I've had the time to do that in years, thanks to social isolation.

 

Joker:  great performance by Jaoquin Phoenix, but a film about mental illness and the associated violence is not my cup of tea. Quite disturbing, tbh.

 

Parasite: won best picture at this year's Oscars.  It's described as a black comedy thriller.  Well, there weren't many laughs, and lots of violence, and the sub-titles made it a distraction, so thumbs-down from me.

 

Layer Cake: this is an oldie that I somehow missed before.  Worth a watch if you like twists and turns and extreme violence.  Daniel Craig plays quite a different role from his James Bond persona. 

 

 

 

 

[neilnunb]

Watched Crawl at the weekend.

 

6/10  was really keeping my fingers crossed for the alligators.

[Dawnrazor]

Jarhead - 6/10. Not as good as I was hoping but worth watching.

 

Freaks of Nature - 8/10. Good laugh in the "B Movie" style.

[Dagger Is Back]

Richard Jewell 9/10

 

I like Clint Eastwood as a Director. Gran Torino is a big favourite

 

The power of the media eh? Poor fella

 

 

[Tazio]

The Princess Bride. Watched it on a whim tonight. I’d forgotten what good fun it is.

Training Day

7/10 - not as good as it was in my memory.

Bad Boys for Life 

 

Great viewing 8/10

[1971fozzy]

Mission Impossible Fallout

fantastic entertainment. Cruise always delivers

Thought them of Jarhead, too.

Way overated. (1917 also imo)

 

I would recommend Kajaki.

 

[Shanks said no]

1917

 

8/10

 

Very good with some astounding scenes but fell just short IMHO. Can't quite put my finger on what didn't hit the mark. Had been looking forward to it for ages.

 

The Gentlemen

 

9/10

 

Loved it and will watch again very soon. Guy Ritchie comes up with the goods again but one aspect blew me away. HUGH GRANT. At first I thought he was trying to be Michael Caine but his character acting was superb. Unfortunately the filter will not let me list some of his lines.

Hugh Grant is an actor that I have grown to really like. Paddington 2 he steals the show and as you say,  he is superb in The Gentleman. Makes me wonder why he did so many romcoms when he is so much better than them. Probably down to money or happy earning an easy buck but he has impressed me in more recent films.

 

Watched Malifecent and the sequal with the kids over the weekend and I enjoyed them far more than a 50 year old should. 

[Prince Buaben]

Watched a few over last few days

 

Wrong Missy 5/10 - Typical happy Madison type film

Do Overs 6/10 - same as above but at least it had Adam Sandler in this one

Maleficint 2 - 7.5/10 enjoyed it. Better than the first

The dead dont die 2/10 - Absolute tripe. Had quite a cast in it. I read ahout it after and it was up for nominations at cannes etc.

I’ve just watched Hitting The Apex a documentary about MotoGP racing. Very well made with some great footage and access to the riders featured. There is a very moving segment about Marco Simoncelli but I have to say I was a bit shocked that they actually showed his fatal crash and the camera shots of him lying dead on the track after his helmet had been ripped off in the impact. I remember how shocked I was watching it live and didn’t feel any need to ever see it again. 

I just watched this today after reading this Taz. Started watching Moto GP about 4 years ago. Well worth the watch though that scene was awful. I love Rossi wish I'd taken an interest when he was winning.

Rossi is on of my favourites in any sport. One of the reason he as so great to watch is that he never been a great qualifier so you always got to watch him in attack mode from the very start of a race.  I remember he used to occasionally give mates a ride around the track when he won races so they banned it happening. The next race he won a guy ran out of the crowd dressed as a chicken and got a lift, Rossi’s reasoning was that they’d only banned people and not animals.

Think you're being rather generous with that score.

 

Sandler and his cronies were maybe funny 25yrs ago but it's now sad and tired. I know Sandler isn't actually in it but his production company produced it 

 

David Spade gets on my tits too

Just Mercy

 

Very good

Didn't get it. Really slow

Brilliant. The bit in the film when he was being interviewed and they asked him what he thought as he was sliding towards the wall after crashing. His response, “****”!

Battle Royale (2000) 

 

Havent watched this in years but it's still brilliant. Time has lessened the shock impact, however it still packs a (bloody) punch and is told with a wry sense of humour. Absolutely recommended. 

 

8/10

[Disser Pointon]

30 days of night. Not watched it for years, cult classic. 8/10.

Couldn't give you a detailed score, on in the backround. But this seemed pretty good with a good performance by Dev Patel

The opening ten minutes were fantastic. The production was great too. Even the old style credits at the start were quirky. I have watched a lot worse, I enjoyed this but doubt I would watch it again. 

[rudi must stay]

Artemis Fowl

 

Total dud

 

1/10

[Carl Fredrickson]

Artemis Fowl. 

 

Having seen trailers for this for months my kids and I were looking forward to this. 

 

I thought it was crap. My son said he wanted to like it but didnt. My daughter loved it. 

 

Very disappointed in it as the acting wasnt great, storyline was poor but lots of colour and at times action. 

[Madjambo21]

DA 5 BLOODS

 

Spike Lee's latest film on Netflix is about 4 African American war vets going back to Vietnam to find buried gold they left and remember their fallen comrade.

 

Has a great premise for a film but it's one of the worst films I've seen on Netflix (some Turkey's in there)

 

Does have some interesting points on Black history but the film is poorly edited and the score just doesn't work.

 

2.5 hours long

 

2/10 defo avoid

Not the greatest tv show but some of the Gareth Evans directed fight scenes in gangs of London are tremendous. 
I really enjoy his style.

Must take them a very long time to make some of those fight scenes, they’re incredible. Think I might watch the first one again now, never seen it for years either.

chronologically according to setting year i think it should be. i got this from an article, the only one i disagree with (but would need to watch again to confirm) i'm sure the end credit scene for the incredible hulk suggests that it is before the first ironman. General Ross says to Stark nice suit when he walks into a bar, i think that is the lead into him becoming ironman

 

• Captain America: The First Avenger (takes place during WWII)
• Captain Marvel (takes place in 1995)
• Iron Man (takes place in 2010)
• Iron Man 2 (takes place after Iron Man)
• The Incredible Hulk (time unspecified, pre-Avengers)
• Thor (takes place six months before Avengers)
• The Avengers (takes place in 2012)
• Iron Man 3 (takes place six months after The Avengers)
• Thor: Dark World (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron)
• Captain America: Winter Soldier (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron)
• Guardians of the Galaxy (sometime in 2014)
• Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (after Guardians)
• Avengers: Age of Ultron (takes place in 2015)
• Ant-Man (takes place in 2015)
• Captain America: Civil War (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War)
• Spider-Man: Homecoming (post-Civil War, pre-Infinity War)
• Doctor Strange (takes place in 2016)
• Black Panther (takes place in 2017)
• Thor: Ragnarok (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War)
• Avengers: Infinity War (takes place in 2017)
• Ant-Man and The Wasp (ambiguous, but fits nicely between IW and Endgame)
• Avengers: Endgame (starts in 2017, finishes in 2022)
• Spider-Man: Far From Home (post-Endgame)

 

I had never watched any of these films as I didn't fancy them, started watching the other night on the back of this post and must say I'm glad I have. Iron Man 2 tonight, never realised they had a comedy side to them which appeals to me. 👍

5/10 from me. Not terrible but not good either. 

 

Overweight 60+ year olds with grey hair playing themselves as 20 year olds in the flashbacks was an odd choice.
