Bridge of Spies - 8/10 - I enjoyed it

The Nice Guys - 9/10 - I enjoyed this more

Marauders - 4/10 - I did not enjoy this.

The Legend of Tarzan - 5/10 - Margot Robbie and a 9 figure CGI budget and someone still managed to make it tedious. An impressive feat.

[Benji]

Whiplash.So good. Perfectly paced, it neither dragged nor did it feel rushed.

 

[Craig]

Room (2015)
Very good. 9/10

 

[Megaclyde]

Kung Fury
Pretty funny shortfilm, 8/10

Michael Clayton [2007] - 6/10

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Jurassic World.

What a crock of shite. The disaster happens way too soon and it's just constant action there after with no apparent storyline. Too much CGI too.

4/10

 

[Murphy]

Two Night Stand
I liked it, but not the ending. 6/10.

Shawshank Redemption
Excellent, can see why everyone raves about it. 9/10.

Ted 2.
Managed 25 minutes before I turned it off, just couldn't be arsed with it which is a shame given I like the original.

Jurassic World.

They should have cast real dinosaurs.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

They should have cast real dinosaurs.

And real trees, real buildings, real people, real sky, real vehicles, real plants, real water...

Land of Mine (2015)
Danish WWII drama. After the liberation of Denmark in May 1945 thousands of German PoW's are forced to clear the over 2 million landmines on Danish beaches by hand and with no metal detecting equipment. This film follows a group consisting of boys little more than children forced to clear one of the beaches under the guidance of an embittered Danish sergeant. An interesting and tense film about a subject I knew nothing about beforehand. 8/10

Plaza Suite [1971] - 9/10

 

[Rammy]

Independence Day Resurgence

My expectations were just too high for this. I'm not sure if it was good, but didn't fulfill my expectation....or if it was just shit. I came out very disappointed.

Ghostbusters

Pleasantly surprised. The trailer looked shit, but shit it was not. The Stay Puft balloon ghost was awesome too.

The Purge: Election Year

A little more stupid than the first two. Still great to watch though.

 

[Oaf]

So Ghostbusters is worth seeing then?

Your Independence Day thoughts seem to pretty much echo my own... in fact, I'm still not sure whether I was just disappointed, or just thought that it was shit and I saw it day one.

 

[Modernist]

I'm surprised people were dissapointed for independence day even the trailors looked awful.

 

[Oaf]

I'm surprised people were dissapointed for independence day even the trailors looked awful.

To be fair though it's hard to tell off of a trailer anyway. The Ghostbusters trailers are awful, but the film is apparently not all that bad. Likewise, the Battle: Los Angeles trailer was fucking superb but the film is probably the worst movie I've ever seen in a cinema.

Yes. Go see it, Oafster!

I also saw ID on day one. Had to be done, after waiting 20 years for the bastard thing!

 

[Oaf]

Yeah, I actually went to the midnight screening because I was looking forward to it so much

Whoops...

The Bad Sleep Well [1960] - 8/10

Distant Voices. Still Lives [1988] - 7/10

Battle For The Skies (2013)
Decent film about a South African who volunteers for The RAF in WWII who after serving 4 years his bomber is shot down over Germany and he and his crew try to make it home. Some of the acting wasn't the best but the battles in the air were really well done. 7/10.

 

[RavenBish]

Finally got round to watching Room, very good innit.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Hostel.

It's the kind of film I loved when I was younger but it's not great, is it? It has so much potential. They should have explored more around what drives people to pay to do those things rather than make it a survival horror.

5/10

 

[Gilly?]

Rebirth
Bit daft with an obvious message. It's all about 'awakening' from a mundane life instead for just wake up, go to work, go home, sleep, wake up, go to work, go home, modern day slavery bla bla bla.

It was ok at best, worth a go for something that makes little sense until Eddie from Friends explains it all. 6/10.

Me Before You - 8/10

The Fundamentals of Caring - 7/10

Bad Neighbours 2 - 5/10
I wasn't a big fan of the first film, but this one was even worse.

No.

 

[cufc17]

No.

Haha, I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Gilly?]

Haha, I thought it was pretty good.

The girlfriend took me to see it and it and she cried her eyes out whilst I wanted Slagathor to die because she was an annoying turd. One big clichéd mess

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

Not as good as I had hoped following the series (it could never have been) but still excellent.

8/10
