That film is a work of genius.

And, sadly, prophetic.

Well his memes and gifs are top class, so I’ll give him the benefit. He’s probably starred in a few films himself 😜

The Beekeeper 

 

Jason Statham in maybe his most Jason Statham film yet. Look, this is mindless violence and you know what you will get before it starts. 

However, the time flew by, the scumbags in this absolutely deserved the carnage coming to them, and I really, really enjoyed this. 

If you enjoy Statham's films there is an excellent chance you will enjoy this. If you don't, not sure why you're watching it anyway 😉 

8.5/10

Started watching this last night, but passed out after about half an hour. Not because it was crap, just knackered. Love a Jason Statham film, you know what you’re getting. Was really enjoying it too. Back on it tonight.

The Royal Hotel

 

Watched this today. I've done bar work in my time, worked in some really horrible places. This film gets it spot on and is very realistic, glad to be out of that

 

7/10

Finished it, another cracking Jason Statham. I can understand why some folks don’t get it, but you just need to disengage your brain and enjoy it for what it is.

 

Statham back on form

American Made.

I've not seen this in years but I reckon it's a really good take on the Vampire story, a George A. Romero film, his favourite of his apparently, from 1977.

7/10 for me, some bits of it didn;t add anything to the film for me

 

Spoiler

the replacement beekeeper dying so quickly seemed pointless. i also could not stand the mercenary at the end, they were walking about with guns while at a party with the president yet no one says anything.

 

[Canscot]

Ferrari. 
6-10. I would think if you are a racing/car buff you might rate it higher though. 

[Ray Gin]

Saltburn

6.5/10

 

Weird black comedy with annoying characters that just gets darker and darker.

 

Barry Keoghan is good in it but I saw way more of him than I ever needed to.

 

[Canscot]

The Beekeeper

The Expendables 4 

As I have stated before I enjoy movies where the good guys beat the shit out of the bad guy’s. Story is secondary to me. 
Plus, Jason Statham movies got me through a dark period health wise a few years ago so I continue to show loyalty to him and his genre.

Ending was needlessly pretty extreme , went from a feel good classic to a saw movie

I've just really started watching sports films and this is really good, very interesting.

[Americana]

Watched American Pie at the weekend , brought back some heavy nostalgia from my early high school years, then the reality hits that the movie is 25 years old and cracking on and on the subject of cracking , Nadia had a special place in my heart in those days.

 

Dont make comedy like that anymore.

 

8/10

 

Nadia 23/10

Not usually my thing but decided to give it a watch after hearing a pal raving about it. Have to say I really enjoyed it. The bad guys certainly got sorted out.

One Love

 

6/10

 

Firstly mrs described it as her worst cinematic experience, contant chatter, popcorn throwing, folk moving about and mobile use. Because the film uses a lot of Jamaican Patois it was really hard to follow in the circumstances. (Cineworld Fountainbridge)

 

We had really looked forward to this, so it was a big let down. Probably would have enjoyed more at home with subtitles. There were a few stand out moments, for example Marley singing Redemption song to the kids. However didn't get anything new from it and anyone who doesn't know his story as well as we do, will be scratching their head at parts.

 

His murderer, Danny Baker, does appear

[henrysmithsgloves]

Absolutely anything on Amazon, typical Simon pegg movie, good laugh right through 9/10

[Muppetboy]

American Mary 4/10.

Watched this on the back of rave reviews on this horror site I check out on Facebook.  A medical student specialising in being a surgeon, takes on body modification work to earn money cos she's struggling trying to get through med school.  Film.then goes gory after girl is attacked and takes revenge on the perp. Absolutely shit, starts off well but quickly turns awful, not even the girl from the horror movie ginger snaps, can save this

We had a Cineworld Unlimited membership, but stopped going because of this. It really is the worst cinema in Edinburgh for folks constantly ####ing about.

I've not been to the pictures for years, I swore I'd never go back after the last time for the same reasons, I don't have the patience anymore.

I always go to Vue at Ocean Terminal. Never had any bother/problems there.

I used to be an Odeon Limitless member but the cost of kids tickets made it too expensive to go regularly with my kids. We now go to the Vue at OT and have never had any issues with other customers.

 

The Odeon Wester Hailes used to be a great cinema but latterly had issues with others ruining the experience. When I mentioned it to staff during one film they showed no interest.

Not the ticket prices for us. It’s the youngest “can I have a Tango Ice Blast”…ridiculous price and his brother with large popcorn and ice cream..,skint when I come out😅

If I took both my kids we would take our own snacks. If only one, if I was flush I would get them something but the prices are ridiculous. 

 

Precovid WH had a great team of staff who were knowledgeable about the films and would take time to chat and were great with the kids. I stopped going in December 2022 due to a number of issues and the pricing was crazy. Some of the kids prices were up to £12 a seat. The three of us can get into the Vue for what I was paying for the two kids. 

 

Never had any issues outside the cinema - either in the car park or in any of the shops.
