Watched Senna last night, absolutely brilliant, really had me emotional at the end, and I've no interest in formula one.

It’s a beautiful film about a remarkable man. You can see by the funeral what he meant to Brazil. The soundtrack is fantastic too.

Went and saw... Skyscraper

 

So, if you liked San Andreas (one of recent times best comedies) you will probably enjoy Skyscraper slightly less, well, i did.

 

Absurd story - (havent you people heard of "cloud storage")

5th Grade writing - (I was able to predict 50% of lines and 70% of overall story)

Standard CGI - Who doesnt love a 2 mile high building

Typical Rock acting (Lacked an eyebrow raise IMO)

 

all in all on a scale of chicken to telephone I give this movie a golden trident

[Choppalcfc]

would recommend the movie Drive, watched it the other day for the first time, became one of my all time movies

[ithuriel]

Finally got around to watching, Ready Player One, I really enjoyed it, not only was it classic Spielberg but it was chock full of geeky references and Easter eggs, from sci-fi, Anime, the comics and horror.

Friggin brilliant

Watched Snowpiercer in America a few years ago. Still not rreleased over here, anyone know why? 

[zealot]

Watched Detroit last night! A great true crime drama with a motown soundtrack that includes a big horror section in the middle that is very well done. Recommended.

Holy crap I forgot all about that film. I watched it on my laptop literally years ago. It's weird as ****, quite good though, although a bonkers premise. 

 

It never got a major release because Weinstein asked the director to make a shed load of changes that he refused so it got canned. 

 

Standard Weinstein behavior really. 

 

It may have gotten a release over here but only at the likes of the phoenix if so, it only ever got a very arty distribution.

3096 Days on Netflix, true story about a 10 yr old girl held captive for 8 years by her kidnapper 7/10

Watched Kingsman: The Golden Circle last night. Thought it was shite, but I quite liked the first one.

[Tuna]

Watched Alien: Covenant last night, didn't think I'd like it but really enjoyed it, Fassbender was superb.

You mean apart from the "flute" scene. i was practically gnawing my fist off at how bad that was.

Lubezki is a cinematographer so worth a shot already

Danny Boyle quits Bond 25 due to "creative differences".

Oh, what could have been. I don't know who they could bring in now that could excite me in the way Boyle did. Maybe Christopher Nolan, but he likes having complete creative control too and usually spends about a year on the script before preproduction. What a glorious missed opportunity.

Watched England is mine last night. It’s about Morrisey and basically how he formed the Smiths with Johnny Marr. It’s a bit slow and moody but it was alright. Would’ve liked to have seen a bit about when the band was together. And no Smiths songs in it either 

 

6/10

[Izzy]

Watched a few films on the plane on hols and back:

12 Strong - True story of US Special forces in Afghanistan after 9/11. Enjoyed it 7/10

The 15:17 to Paris. Another true story of how 3 US men thwart a terrorist attack on a high speed train. O.K. 5/10

Oceans Eleven again for about the 10th time. Still love it 8/10

Kenny - Documentary on Kenny Dalglish. A fascinating insight into the legend. 8/10

But the best of all was Fire In Babylon about the West Indies Cricket team of the 70's & 80's. Took me back to my youth. Brilliant stuff 9/10

That's absolutely brilliant

Upgrade - low budget sci fi  thriller. Not bad at all 7/10

[The Bear]

Jumanji - I'd heard it was better than expected, but it was utter doggo.

[woznotwos]

Hereditary was brilliant i thought 

[samlcfc]

Watched "A Quiet Place" last night. Decent horror film and worth a watch if you're into the genre, but nothing special.

A killers in the house sort of film, except the killers are sound seeking monsters which now apparently inhabit the earth for some untold reason.

[Bellend Sebastian]

I, Tonya.

Margot Robbie was great (this was the first thing I've actually seen her in), in fact all the performances are.

The format works really well but seems a bit drawn out at 2 hours given her story (which we know) is pretty straightforward

[VLC86]

Hush, fantastic film. Best horror I’ve seen in a long time.

Just saw someone mention Hereditary, still not sure what to make of that a few months later. Absolutely howling when that person floated up to the tree house  

[RODNEY FERNIO]

Just got back from watching the Meg starring Jason Statham at the Showcase in Highcross,

Enjoyable romp if rather corny.

 Price not enjoyable though … £14.60 each , including your 3D Specs …. outrageous, 

[urban.spaceman]

Calibre on Netflix. 

 

9/10

 

Seriously tense.

 

Put your devices away and turn off the lights.

 

I wish I could have seen this at the cinema.
