throbber Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just back from the cinema after watching split. Really enjoyed it tbh. Me and the GF tried to watch it on Exodus and we ended up getting a film about ten pin bowling! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Dumb and dumber to:I watched this with my 9 year old wee girl after watching the original with her the night before.The original is a funny quirky silly laugh out loud comedy and that showed with the wee girl constantly laughing.The sequel however we had to put off halfway through, when even the 9 year old said "dad they're acting too stupid".This was quickly put off and never spoken of again.1/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Came across this one looking for a best horror of 2016 list. Which is weird because this isn't a horror. ETA: It was also number one on the list. I watched this last night and really didn't like it, saw your review and saw that it got decent write ups from a few other sources but didn't really check what the story was actually about before watching it and really didn't have a clue where it was going throughout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 9/10? What was it about the film you liked so much? The poster either really likes girls or really likes trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I can't speak for anyone else but I liked the girl on the train because I like eerie mystery films when you know there is a strange twist coming. The book was better than the film but still enjoyed the film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I didn't think the twist was a shock. I thought it was obvious that was coming. That's maybe why I didn't really enjoy it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Well I knew the twist because I'd read the book ( which isn't a bad read btw ). I kinda got the twist early, but didn't realise the scope of it. The movie just didn't do a good job of adapting at all, outside of a stunner of a performance from Emily Blunt. Was always likely to be a bit of a mess given the way the timeline goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killienick Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Doctor Strange 6/10 (Spoliery review) The worst Marvel film since Age of Ultron. Strange just isn't likeable and comes across as a poor copy of Tony Stark but without the charm, (and with a terrible accent). The pace of the film is muddling. The bad dudes begin their plan before Dr Strange has his accident and presumably spends yonks in recovery. He then heads to Kathmandu and becomes amazing at magic in time to stop them. The rational was that the bad dudes would need to 'translate' the magic which appeared to take them many, many months - Strange however, is able to do this immediately whilst still being trained. An excellent cast was badly underused with most being 2 dimensional at best. The Marvel humour is in short supply and the SFX were in overload. The film, despite it's many flaws, was still entertaining but just lacking in substance. Edited February 27, 2017 by killienick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (41-43) The Final Programme 5/10 Early 70s psychedelic sci-fi from the director of The Abominable Dr Phibes. Premise is the world is soon to end, but some (now dead) scientist has some plan for an immortal human. Scientist's son is tasked with trying to find it. It's kind of meant to be funny (it isn't) and deep (not really) but the characters are fun, directing suitably camp and most of the sets are gorgeous. It seems like it could have been a much better film but was edited badly. Fun though, worth a watch. Watchmen 3/10 Not sure why I'd never seen it before but I'm not really a comic person and superheroes generally bore me silly. Still, this was more brutal than most but bloody hell its long...I just lost interest later on Fences 7/10 Quite enjoyed this, based on a play so just lots of talking...talking. Cheesy ending though, why do they have to try and ruin everything with cheesy endings? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiepiemuncher Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Fences 8/10Enjoyed this and could see why it was oscar nominated. The best thing about this movie was the sound. The dialogue was crystal clear and for somebody with crap hearing it was a big bonus. Jackie 3/10This was rubbish, the historical reenactments were fine but the mumbling dialogue was horrendous. I don't know if the real Jackie Kennedy actually spoke that way but the sound quality was night and day to Fences. The score was rubbish too even though it was oscar nominated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent performance from the lead and a theme I can identify with. The pace of it and just the general vibe took a film which could easily be some shitty tv film and made it really watchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Moonlight...can't really see what the Academy voters saw in it. Well enough acted and directed but in no way outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pace was the main problem for me, it was as slow as Mark Yardley. Even after the twist I didn't think sped up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuits Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 White helmets - never heard of this but it appeared on my Netflix front page cos it won an Oscar so gave it a go. Only complaint is that it's too short. Fantastic documentary about guys in Syria who help find survivors after bombings.Kingsman. The secret service - can't believe I'd never saw this. James Bond for adults - absolutely loved it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
