The Siege Of Jadotville (2016)
Superb film based on a true story. Set in 1961 a group of Irish soldiers go into Katanga Province in The Democratic Union Of Conga as UN Peacekeepers. They are attacked by government soldiers,outnumbered and running out of ammo this is the story of their epic battle to stay alive. This is on Netflix and i advise anyone to watch it. 9/10.

Kajaki : The True Story (2014)
Excellent film about a small patrol of British soldiers who wander into an area full of mines. What i liked about this film besides the story was no background music as it wasn't needed as the tension in the film hits you after about 15 minutes. 8/10.

The Great Raid I(2005)
Based on a true story with US Rangers trying to free over 500 fellow soldiers from a Japanese POW camp in 1944. Didn't look good at the start but i'm glad i stuck with it as it improved as the film went on.7/10.

Popstar - Never Stop, Never Stopping
Documentary style film about an idiot who's solo career goes to shit.

Found it utterly hilarious, it's shit in so many ways but very funny. The guys from the Lonely Island are ace.

Commando (1985)
I forgot how corny this was 6/10.

 

[Gilly?]

Don't Breathe
Thought it was very good, loads of tension to add to one of the better horror flicks of recent times. 8/10 for me even though a certain scene prevented my girlfriend from having sex with me after the film.

Bridge of Spies (2015)
A spy based thriller set at the height of the Cold War. For an old student of the subject it had everything; Gary Powers, the erection of the Berlin Wall et all. Tom Hanks at his best.

8/10

I fancy seeing that one, but haven't got round to it yet. Interested to see the dynamics between the screen acting of Hanks, and the stage acting for the screen of Rylance.

Kajaki : The True Story (2014)
Excellent film about a small patrol of British soldiers who wander into an area full of mines. What i liked about this film besides the story was no background music as it wasn't needed as the tension in the film hits you after about 15 minutes. 8/10.

Thats a cracking film, also the credits go through the radio coms during the real incident as well I believe and it makes what you just saw all the more powerful.

Battlefield Of Lost Souls (2014)
Based on a true story about The American Civil War. 1864 and teenage cadets at The Virginia Military Institute are called tgo fight off a Union attack in The Shenandoah Valley. Slow for the first hour but the battle in the last 30 minutes was decent so i'm glad i stuck with it. 6.5/10.

 

[mowgli]

Rules of Engagement (2000)
Hadn't seen this before it was decent,Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L Jackson played their roles well. 7/10.

I recently watched Sausage Party (2016).
Very hit and miss but was decent overall. 6/10

I was sure I put my review for it in on that thread. I must've wrote it in this one then.

The Punisher (2004)
Predictable revenge film starring John Travolta.poor acting and ridiculous writing. 4/10.

 

[Gilly?]

Thought The Punisher was ace, in the so bad that it's good category.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Bridge of Spies.

Cold War tale about an exchange of prisoners between USA and Russia. I loved it. It's rare to have a film like this with no guns and action. 8.76/10

 

[mowgli]

Lock Stock And 2 Smoking Barrels (1998)
A true British classic film 8.5/10

 

[mowgli]

Falcon Rising (2014)
Poor film about an ex SEAL go to Rio to bump off the guys who attacked his sister. 4/10.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

Not quite as good as the first one but I enjoyed it.

8/10

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)

Not quite as good as the first one but I enjoyed it.

8/10

I thought it was awful but having a different director didn't help.

The Purge: Election year
I enjoy these films, plenty of gore and jumpy bits but a bit too predictable this time. Worth a watch now the dark nights are coming in. 7/10.

The Pianist:
Fantastic film, depsite being relatively old now (2002). Gets you properly gripped as to how it was in Poland at the time of the war, from the point of view of a Jewish person. Must have been so scary, especially as the Nazis literally shot them for fun. But then it shows that not all the Nazis/Germans were utter c***. 9/10.

 

[mowgli]

I watched The Pianist myself for the first time recently and absolutely loved it a class film.

 

[Stevencc]

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

Continuing in the tradition of the series thus far I liked this one but not quite as much as the previous installment.

8/10

 

[Stevencc]

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

Yep - it was an enjoyable enough watch but, again, it continued the downward spiral.

7/10

 

[Craig]

Jane Got a Gun (2016)
Modern western with a simple plot and overly sentimental ending. Looks great but not particularly engaging. 6/10

The Whole Truth (2016)
Awful courtroom drama starring Keanu Reeves. Worth a watch though to witness Keanu's attempt at narration. 4/10

Suicide Squad (2016)
I didn't know what was happening most of the time. Margot Robbie tho. 5/10

Ghostbusters (2016)
Has its moments but overall a disappointment. 6/10

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Doctor Strange (2016)
In my opinion the best origin story of the MCU. Top notch cast and performances, genuinely brilliant visuals that haven't been seen in a mainstream film before, my only real gripe is that while clever, the third act battle is overshadowed a bit by the epicness of the second. 8/10

The Life of David Gale: Film about a bloke who has spent his life protesting about the death penalty who finds himself on death row for rape and murder.

Apparently a protest against the death penalty but kinds of fucks up the message. still, not an all-bad film. 5/10.

 

[lordofthepies]

The Big Short (2015) - Private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by a rich family. Before the complex case is over, he's seen murder, blackmail, and what might be love.

Yeah, it was alright, I guess. Kind of right on but the messages were a bit obvious. 6.7/10.

Brooklyn (2015) - The life of a divorced television writer dating a teenage girl is further complicated when he falls in love with his best friend's mistress.

All kinds of lovely. 8.3/10.5.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)

The downward spiral streak has been broken, this one was on par with the last one.

7/10

 

[mowgli]

Glory (1989)
Superb film based on a true story about the first black regiment in The American Civil War. Denzel Washington gave an acting masterclass in what for me was his best performance in all of the films he's been in . 9.5/10.
