D.A.F.C Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ready player one Decent enough with some clever effects and ideas. Not groundbreaking but a cut above shite like avengers. It felt semi believable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The Incredibles 2 - 8/10 A joyous return for the Parrs. Jack-Jack was a highlight as was Edna (of course). I think carrying on from where the 1st film finished served them well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can whoever pulled it confirm? Not much use pulling posts if you don’t let the writer know what the issue was for future reference! Anyway: bullet point was it was a big 9/10 for me. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 A quiet place Good idea but it didn't do it for me. Is it not easier just to live beside the waterfall or put a speaker up a tree to distract them? Was there a sale on the Prometheus alien effect too? Looked a bit familiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 First Reformed (Prince Charles Cinema)A very art house film starring Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried and Cedric the Entertainer. Hawke plays a reformed veteran who turns to priesthood after the death of his son. He ends up counselling Seyfried's husband who is a very staunch environmental activist. More ensues however I don't want to give away any spoilers. It's very slow and quiet however some of the shots were spectacular and the acting was great.9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also must have had the world's quietest generator supplying the juice for their illuminated field. Oh, and when there are sound sensitive aliens about, don't make an uncontrollable screaming machine which you have to stuff in a box to deaden its sound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half was incredible, but it sadly went downhill from there. While I was impressed with several moments of the second half, the final five minutes or so went against what made the earlier parts so great, replacing the atmosphere with OTT madness that bordered on parody. The whole cult nonsense felt lifted from 'Paranormal Activity 3' (hardly what you should be aiming for), and brought it down to a level that it had managed to rise above up to that point. It was probably the best camera work I've seen from a horror film in a while - some really clever unconventional shots - and I liked the fact that it didn't rely on rapid cuts to build up tension; instead they had faith in the actors and score. Ari Aster seems to be a much better director than writer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hereditary was well made. That's as positive as I can be. Naw had many worse cinema experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Christopher Robin What an absolutely beautiful film. A lovely story, it looks fantastic, and there are a few moments where someone definitely starts cutting onions in the cinema, which I’d imagine will be a nightmare in 4DX. I also absolutely fucking love Tigger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) (130-132) The Guardians 4/10 French film set in the WW1 but this time from the women’s perspective AT LAST. Got great reviews but really not sure why, just a totally straight forward period drama with not a lot of intrigue or particularly credible characters. Don’t bother. (cinema) The Heiresses 6.5/10 Paraguayan film (don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those before!) about two ageing lesbians who are up shit creek money wise so slowly flogging off their large collection of antiques, focuses particularly on one of the women and the effect it’s all having on here. Decent. (torrent) Three Identical Strangers 8/10 Doco about three identical strangers. Pretty good as a story, with some really great/shocking moments. Asks more questions than it answers. Satsy with you. (torrent) Edited August 23, 2018 by Christophe -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-dee Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 6 days (netflix) 6/10 a netflix original film all about the hostage situation at the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980. although i wasn't born until 87 i have read a fair amount about this event and the film seems to be very true to actual events and hasnt fantasized as many similar films would. i have never really been a fan of jamie bell, except his performance in The Eagle, but he is sold enough here. hard to take Billy Elliot in military uniform serious though. also the girl playing news reporter Katie Adie is well worth a ride. even nicer than katie herself. do think the dialogue between the main terrorist and the hostage negotiator could have been much better. thats where the drama could have really been built but all seemed a bit half arsed to be honest. the film comes in at 1 hour 30 minutes so not too long and there are far worse things to waste 90 minutes on. following dundee being a prime example! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Christopher Robin What an absolutely beautiful film. That alone perfectly sums it up for me. I’ve not seen a film in years that I’ve given so much afterthought to, utterly sublime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you took any small relatives with you, like nieces or nephews (or bairnardo) who now want toys from the film, don’t bother with Disney store in the St Enoch Centre. As of this morning they had 1 Piglet and one Kanga and Roo. The look on the guy’s face when I asked when they might have the others back in stock was similar to a Vietnam vet having flashbacks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Dirty Grandpa (2016) A few, genuine, laugh out loud moments. Tries a bit too hard with a few of the film's characters though, namely the 2 Daytona cops, surf shop/dealer guy who become annoying. 5.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Saw The Meg earlier today. Actually really enjoyed it, just switch off for a while. This was my first Jason Statham film, as I’d avoided him like the plague before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 If anyone cares... Quality Statham flicks I've seen: Spy Crank 1 & 2 Snatch Lock, Stock etc (which I don't remember him even being in) Dodgy Statham flicks (to some extent): The Meg Death Race The Transporter Ghosts of Mars I'm yet to see a film that his presence hasn't improved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
