More than worth watching again, although I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing so. Possibly my favourite film ever. That's exactly how I described it after watching it a few years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVanTeeth Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 just watched You Were Never Really Here directed by Glasgow's very own Lynne Ramsay. Very good albeit I'm not sure I completely understood everything in it. Now for I, Tonya... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite good but not harrowing in the slightest. I'm a Hertz fan, m8 - I know harrowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (133-134) Justice League...Assemble (gen don’t know the name) 8/10 Starts where the one where he killed Superman left off. Ben Affleck assembles a team made up of Aquamans, Very Fast Autistic Boy, Wonder Woman, ermm a kind of half robot kid and I think that’s it. The baddie is Steppenwolf from the band of the same name. Some confusion when they bring Superman back from the dead but Mrs C did exclaim how nice his body was. What else?...The superfast kid like they also have in X Men was the best by far, funny funny kid “Dostoevsky” LOL. Anyway they win in the end. Much better than any Avengers film. #TEAMDC. (Sky) Jumanji 7/10 Starts where the last one left off a group of American kids get brought into a videogame. 35 minutes of them getting used to their bodies/penus jokes. Kevin Hart is VERY funny. They meet a Jonas brother and win in the end. (Sky) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Jupiter Ascending. 3/10. All 3 marks for the burd in her frillies near the start. Rest of it utter crud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I was doing pretty well at hiding the emotions until...

Ira Gaines Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I'd genuinely completely forgotten about Tigger's song ( been a long time since I've come across ANYTHING Pooh related ) so when that suddenly seemed set to start, I nearly hit the roof with joy.

Strikes me much more as a film aimed at adults who grew up with it than current children. But I guess that’s the beauty, it can target all ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAFCSim Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Watched Sleepers for the first time in about 10 years at the weekend. Every time I watch it, it makes me think how easy a course of a life or lives can be changed, with one stupid mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 The Happytime MurdersPretty shite with humour of the lowest possible brow, which just so happens to be my kind of thing. Not much to say. Daft cobbled together plot, barely 80 minutes long and some funny moments from Melissa Mccarthy. I'll probably forget I watched it by tomorrow but enjoyable enough while it lasted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older films build a storyline so much better and build suspense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Superb film. Actually scary. I can still hear that funny rattling sound before it appears... Good memories of sitting up late and watching it with my dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Searching - 8/10 (cinema). Really enjoyed this. Twists and turns galore, and although often quite predicable and cringeworthy at points, it is overall an excellent film.Action Point - 7/10. Surprisingly watchable (and dare I say it, good) new Johnny Knoxville dumb comedy. Good way to switch off for an hour and a half.Slender Man - 1/10. Abysmal. Can’t even remember what (if anything) happened, as I was too busy trying to focus on staying awake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Blackkklansman. Cineworld. Don’t think I’ve seen a film before where I started blubbing again the morning after seeing it, so powerful was the ending (and the ending was really just tacked on by chance). Our main character gets a job as his city’s first non-white policeman. Becomes a detective and after spotting a newspaper ad decides to troll the KKK. Ends up getting invited along and has to send a white colleague as him. Much mayhem ensues. As you’d expect from a Spike Lee film set in the 1970’s the soundtrack is superb. It’s really funny but that humour makes the darker elements all the more jarring. He was already in post-production when Charlottesville happened and the gruesome footage from there is assimilated into the film. It’s not just about the KKK and America. It’s about how brilliant it is to love and respect one another and how shite hatred and intolerance is. So many terrific performances - hard to single anyone out. It must be a very low end 15 certificate - it’s the sort of thing they should show in Modern Studies or History lessons at school. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, never realised. There was a recent documentary about a guy trying to introduce kids to hip hop and the director was raging about it being a 15 (due to sweary words) I think Hull Council relented and classed it as a 12A so school kids could watch it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45181281 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) (135-137) The Spy Who Dumped Me 6/10 Kinda ok. Mila Kunis is watchable in anything. Great action sequences, humour fell a bit flat from time to time. (cinema) The Little Hours 9.5/10 Quite brilliant/WTF/vaguely Monty Python/Mel Brooks thing set in a convent in the Middle Ages starring all the US comedians eg: Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, John C Reilly and with a cast like that even a rubbish film would be great! It’s a really sweary and very stupid romp that people seem to hate (5.8 on IMDb) but I absolutely LOVED it. There’s some brilliant set pieces, notably James Franco’s brother’s confession to John C Reilly when he describes all his sexual sins which is probably on YouTube so you should just watch that bit at least. I can’t state how stupid this movie is and how most people would hate it, but again, I loved it, there’s some brilliant racism - are Guelph people a real thing? Because Nick Offerman hates them! The story is very, very thin and it would probably work better as an extended sketch. There are tits. Wish there was more absolutely stupid movies like this. (dvd) The Creeping Flesh 8/10 It’s got everything you want from a Hammer-esque horror film. Chris Lee and Peter Cushing play brothers. A mad scientist and the head of a lunatic asylum. There’s a mad wife (dead), a beautiful but troubled daughter, a skeleton and an escaped lunatic. There’s this bit where Cushing creates this serum to inoculate people against evil, and he gives it to a monkey, but it actually works the other way and makes people violent Which is basically the plot from... 28 Days Later I’ve a good mind to write to... Danny Boyle and... Alex Garland and expose them for the thieves that they are! (Vimeo) Edited September 5, 2018 by Christophe -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellinwigan Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The Debt Collector 8/10 Surprisingly good film. Kinda of a buddy martial arts film . The two main actors were really good. Seen a few of Scott Adkins films most martial arts films. recommend a watch Netflix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
