Ira Gaines Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Sleepless ( illegal means ) Erm... this wasn't bad actually. Basic enough plot, carried out fairly logically with some daft shit going down, as it always does in action thrillers. Nothing to drag it down too much, nothing to make it amazing. A fairly easy way to spend 90 minutes I thought. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's excellent. Well-acted (especially by Daniel Kaluuya) with an unsettling atmosphere throughout due to nothing really seeming right, and you squirm in your seat along with Chris (the main character) as the family try and compensate for their beliefs. It is certainly tense for the majority of it but I think that mostly comes from how tense Chris is. I hated the ending, though. I do think calls for Best Picture are a bit much but great nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Two contrasting views there A big disappointment imo, 1st hour had good potential then went stupid and kinda rushed finish. Nothing like American History X. You should watch it and settle this debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Agree the ending was rushed but it's still a pretty good film. Nothing like American History X, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Interstellar. Really enjoyed this, felt it took too long to get started at first but once it got going I was hooked. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Post. Like a slower, less entertaining version of Spotlight. No surprise to see it was written by the same guy. Spielberg does a few interesting things with it but it essentially is the poor man's Spotlight. 6/10. The Commuter Similar premise to the film Liam Neeson did on a plane. This time on a train. Beginning to tire of Neeson's brand of action which is just repeating the same character and plot line from Taken and seeing how far he can go with it. He's a good actor that's refusing to push himself. Still good fun but nothing new. 5/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Brian Cox's portrayal as Churchill a year or so ago is a wonderfully underrated performance. Not seen Darkest Hour as of yet but by all accounts it sounds like Oldman has greatly surpassed his portrayal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Finally got round to watching Logan at the weekend. Thought it was exceptional and probably my favourite of the "X-men" films, if it can be classed as that. The room got a bit dusty at points. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was exceptional and probably my favourite of the "X-men" films, if it can be classed as that. The room got a bit dusty at points. 9/10 Been choking to see this having been away when it hit cinemas. Got it on the planner so look forward to giving it a watchJust watched T2 Trainspotting on sky movies. Had already seen it in the cinema and loved it even more second time round. Think they absolutely nailed it - knew they'd never match the first so didn't try. Made it a great film in its own right and while it relies heavily on nostalgia, none of it really seems forced (apart from the choose life but maybe)Also, the cinematography is excellent. Edinburgh has never looked so sexy! The shots of Arthur's Seat when Renton and Spud go for a run are stunning! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it for yourself and find out. ^^^ This, was on a thread about it on another site and loads were giving it 9/10, saying it was excellent. Even been Oscar nominated for best movie. Not for me though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Last Flag Flying (2017) Excellent acting from the three main cast (Carell, Cranston and Fishburne) in a bittersweet anti-war roadmovie with some darkly comedic moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Three Billboards 8.5/10Cant say there were many fault with this,the ending perhaps if i was being pernickity. All the lead actors were excellent especially RockwellDarkest Hour 5/10Oldman in one of the best roles hes every likely to play. The downside is that its on for over two hours and not a great deal happens. It also paints Churchill as a drunken inept idiot which i found to be quite bizarreLady Bird 4/10Coming of age film starring Saiorese Ronan. 94 minutes of my life i will never get back. She plays an irratating teen with very few redeeming qualities. The only thing that salvages the film slightly is Laurie Metcalf as her mother 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree about 'Darkest Hour' - its Best Picture nomination is quite bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I got those films on kodi. As its awards season, most of these nominated films are sent out to critics and therefore leaked. Best time of year if you are a movie fan[emoji3] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
