Lofarl Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Meg. Stupid and dumb which was what I wanted and expected from a film where Jason Statham fights a prehistoric giant shark. 7/10 for the b movie cheese factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Justice League(sky) Nowhere near as bad as people have made out,yes the villan is poor and the ending is shite but overall the action is good albeit doesn't flow as well as Marvel ,Affleck is a decent batman and hopefully the others will develop,reasonable hopes for the Aquaman film. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Meg is disappointingly pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 There was a moment in The Meg when Jason Statham had the opportunity to punch the shark in the face and he didn't do it. I'll never forgive it for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If The Meg even had half the self awareness that people wanted it to have, then it'd have been a fun watch. It didn't though. Far too serious most of the time, and a massive missed oppertunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Watched Hannibal the other day.It was ok but not on the same level as Silence of the Lambs. Brain eating scene at the end particularly gruesome. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Ant man & the wasp Highly enjoyable marvel flick, get what you expect, bits of humour, soppy scenes and cracking action moments, think ant man and the sequel have slightly better action scenes than most mcu films due to the shrinking and growing during the fights Nice double post credits scenes as well bumps it to an 8.5/10 for me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really went for the shock and gore element in the sequel,but in fairness they were never going to recreate the atmosphere and the drama of the first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Watched a few movies because I was on a plane. Rampage: Silly nonsense as expected, but better than I thought it would be. Some good creature feature action sequences. 6/10 A Quiet Place: Good original, atmospheric horror. I was curious how it would work with almost no dialogue, but it worked. Slightly spoiled by a few irritations, such as (possible spoiler alert) the questionable life choice of the main characters who, in a world stripped of all life by flesh-eating alien monsters who hunt by sound, decide to have a baby. A good watch though. 7/10 Hostiles: Stunning visuals puts gloss on a fairly average & predictable story. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Dwarf_Posse Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The Babysitter - Netflix 2018 (6/10) Not too bad, a sort of comedy come thriller. Only actors I recognised was Bella Thorne and Ken Marino. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The Truman Show - DVD Still looks good and my favourite Peter Weir film. Jim Carrey is really good and this is arguably his best performance. 8.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Revenge of the Nerds (1984) Didn't find it particularly funny; boring, stereotypical characters; didn't really care what happened as everyone was a cock. It felt like three insubstantial ideas that were squeezed together to push it to around 90 minutes. I can somewhat understand why some 'nerds' took to it years ago, but so many films and TV shows with the same idea have done it much better. Hush (2016) A solid horror film that doesn't do much in the way of story, but ticks along nicely, has a fairly well-rounded protagonist, and uses its scares to good effect. There aren't regular scares - the overall tension compensates for that - but pretty much every one is used to advance the plot in some way, as opposed to "scaring" the audience by suddenly ramping the sound up as soon as something incidental comes on screen. On a couple of occasions, it felt like they recycled shots of the antagonist walking around house, but for a fairly limited premise, I was impressed by how well it managed to maintain its pace and grip of the conflict. The final 10 minutes did result in a few moments of wrapping things up then carrying on, which always feels grating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the characters weren't very engaging and I didn't particularly like any of them. The statutory rape bit in the mirror hall hasn't aged well either.

paul-r-cfc Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Justice League (Sky Movies)Really wanted to like this but despite some decent fight scenes, it's a pretty poor film that could have and should have been much better. A poor villain, whose existence/purpose seems very vague and unexplained while some of the dialogue is shocking. Aquaman saying 'ma man' when caught by Cyborg and 'alright!' when Superman appears being particularly cringeworhty. Special mention for Cyborg saying 'booya'.Cannot believe some of the lines that made it into the final script tbh and you really have to question the standard of writers in a film with such a big budget.Positives were Cyborg, who I thought was the most interesting of the new additions, plus I'm pleasantly surprised by Affleck and his, 'I'm getting too old for this shit' depiction of Batman6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Upgrade Well, this was fucking fantastic. The simple sum up is a quadriplegic has a chip put in his neck to help him to watch again, and it's best not to say much more. It's violent as f**k, and there's some brilliant dark humour. I'm willing to go the full score on this. 10/10 Tag This was a bit more poor natured than I thought it was going to be. It comes good eventually but it lost a lot of likeability and at times was just plain nasty. Took me right out of the movie. So I didn't enjoy it much. 3/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The FestivalI enjoyed this far more than I expected to. Basically the Inbetweeners at a festival with Simon playing the exact same character. Some real laugh out loud moments and painfully cringey bits. Also, a good smattering of cameos throughout. Another film I'd probably not have bothered paying to see so glad I got my unlimited card!7.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
