Ira Gaines Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The Equalizer 2 Good solid action fare with some absolutely outstanding scenes including two action ones that had me more into them than I'm into most scenes of those types. It's incredibly jumpy and disjointed which could be pretty jarring but for the most part, I enjoyed it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) Tremendous low budget British sci-fi about how simultaneous nuclear tests by the USA and USSR cause the Earth's tilt to change resulting in worldwide heatwaves. Is there something the Government aren't telling us? Leo McKern and a young Michael Caine (in a "blink and you'll miss him" role) are among the cast. Should you wish to view it, here it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Nightcrawler Worth a watch, Jack Galenhaal plays a creepy thief who starts filming crime scenes to make money but takes it too far. Almost a cult classic type film but just lacking something to compare it with the likes of drive etc. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best car chase, best Hackman, best cinematography, best score nominee. (Sky) Definitely in my top ten. The sequel is decent also. It’s appreciated but never talked about when people mention favourite films. Will try and watch it again if I can find the listing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Bladerunner 2049(sky) Had big expectations for it but I think it was aimed very much at sci fi fans as opposed to a more general audience,quite slow paced ,visually stunning and an excellent score but as much as I enjoyed it ,wouldn't rave about it.6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 All these reviews of Ant Man and the Wasp, and everybody tiptoeing around the fact that Michelle Pfeiffer is stil. A 100% wid 26 years after being Catwoman. Good film too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Ant-Man and The Wasp - Marvel on auto-pilot, but a lot of fun regardless. Surprised that nobody's mentioned that 60-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer is still a stone-cold wid; admittedly the steaming sexuality of Michael Douglas might have obscured her a little, but trust me, I'm not wrong. Watch it again. Mississippi Burning - hadn't seen this in an age, but Alan Parker's searing segregation drama is still gripping, horrifying, and occasionally deeply satisfying, with a tremendous cast on top form. Unfair to single anyone out, but I'd somehow never noticed R. Lee Ermey before, in an important role a million miles from the drill sergeant types he became famous for, and he absolutely nails it. Bought some Blu-Rays today too; at some point, expect to see me witter about Zombie Creeping Flesh, Creepozoids, Amazon Women on the Moon, Cat in the Brain, SS Experiment Camp, Horrible Bosses, Terminator: Salvation, Cloverfield, Godzilla (2014), and Resident Evil 1-4. But I need sleep first, so goodnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Christopher Robin -- Had high hopes for this being something to tide us over until Paddington 3 comes out but it was pretty disappointing. It's really weird from a kid's movie point of view with the focus of the story on the dad (Ewan McGregor) rather than his wee lassie and there are large sections of the movie with no Pooh whatsoever and there's this whole sub-story of Christopher's mental health that goes absolutely nowhere. Couple of amusing cameos and the voice talent is great. Toby Jones, Peter Capaldi and Brad Garrett who played Ray's brother in Everybody Loves Raymond was perfect as Eeyore. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't call her a stone cold wid, because she's not dead, and I'm not into that sort of thing anyway, so we are making slightly different points. BigFatNecrophiliacDave also doesn't read my posts, because I like to insult him with clever plays on his BigFatStupidName. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It was a joke lads, calm down Also, it's not necrophilia if she isn't dead yet, and Mark Connolly is one of my favourite posters. So there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Goodnight Mommy Austrian psychological horror film. Available on Amazon Prime. The ‘twist’ is fairly obvious. I spotted it about 10 minutes in, but it didn’t remotely spoil my enjoyment of this stylish, though admittedly glacially-paced movie. It looks immaculate - great cinematography and a nicely-sustained mood of escalating dread. Quite a melancholy film, and probably not for everyone, but I’ll be interested to see what directors Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala do next. 8/10 Edited August 10, 2018 by Frankie S 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenHibee Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2, for about the 100th time. Epic movies with immense playlists. Love the characters! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Mission Impossible Fallout Total nonsense of the absolute best kind. Shit blowing up, ridiculous stunts, Rebecca Ferguson. What more could you want from a film? Absolutely loved Henry Cavill’s no nonsense character too. He’d be a brilliant Bond, although it’s probably unlikely with him already being committed to being Superman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
