Co.Down Hibee Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Jurassic World 2(cinema) Follows the formula of the Jurrasic films although a little more thought provoking in terms of the welfare of the dinasaurs in this , sets up the next one which probably should be the final episode. Loads of nods to the original .7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very low key in terms of its set pieces and doesn't rely heavily on death and destruction like many of the genre, but it's so well shot with some spot on acting. Harry Styles is a w**k though. I watched this pretty recently answer also found it a good watch, also interested in the situation from a historical angle. I was always interested that the German army never went in and finished the allied forces off while stranded on the beach while awaiting evacuation but instead halted short of Dunkirk. Thankfully things did not turn out differently. It was a fantastic achievement to evacuate so many in such difficult circumstances. Thankfully the Germans then were unable to overcome the RAF and Royal Navy to allow Operation Sea Lion to become reality. Hitler then making the suicidal decision to proceed with Operation Barbarossa instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed journeys end and they are both really good in it. It's one of the better ww1 films, though to be honest, that isn't difficult as there arn't that many good films about that conflict. I suppose the static nature of trench warfare doesn't lend itself to exciting film making.

The first term which springs to mind is claustrophobic but i'm sure that was the intention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree that ww1 doesn't make for exciting film making, journeys end shows that I think,tension and claustrophobia are just as exciting as bullets and bangs. I agree with you about the lack of great films from then.i assume its because in the immediate aftermath of the conflict film was in its infancy,when it came of age it had a brand new,more recent(and therefore more immediately relevant) conflict to concentrate on. great ww1 films-all quiet on the western front(esp black and white one but the colour ones ok too) paths of glory Gallipoli the blue max Lawrence of arabia id really be pushing the boundries if I said dr zhivago I suppose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sicario 8/10A wee refresher for the second one coming out on Friday. Benicio del Toro cool as f**k as a Colombian hitman. Trailers look brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Sicario 2 Not as good as the first but a fine way to spend two hours. Very much the same reasons for it being good though. Tight script, looks great and two terrific lead characters. 8/10 The first one grew on me with repeat views so I'm looking forward to seeing what I think in a few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Deadpool 2. Yeah it was alright. Ryan Reynolds was operating at 120% Ryan Reynolds, a good 50% more than I can typically take. Second half was good fun. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just plain weird watching with it dubbed and boggles me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Sicario 2 - 7.5/10Overall a very decent follow up to the original. Del Toro at his badass besgyand Brolin as brutal as always. Plot started promising but strayed a wee bit once they got into Mexico and for me, certain things didn't make a huge amount of sense in the grand scheme of things. Still a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours and glad I was able to see it early! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The 12th Man.Norwegian film with English subtitles but don't let that put you off. True story from WW2 when 12 Norwegians are trained in Britain and sail to Norway to sabbotage the occupying Nazi infrastructure. They are rumbled before they land and 11 are captured while the 12th Man escapes and tries to make his way to neutral Sweden while being hunted by the Germans. Stunning visuals which remind me of the Revanent and must have been arduous for the cast and crew alike.....8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
