They are definitely over rated, but I wouldn't say they were bad at all!

Fruitvale Station
I'd heard good things going into this one, and it had a very good metascore to match (85).
The 1st half, was a little confused, with a relatively weak plot, for which blame cannot really be cast, as it is based on a true story.
The second half however, really picks up, and what you discover in the 1st really helps you to appreciate the 2nd.
Strong performances all round, and some moments which were a little difficult to watch. Definitely worth a watch if you enjoy the Coen brothers style of filmmaking (not that this is one of their films, this is a Ryan Coogler film) then you'll enjoy this.
8/10
Old scoring system

Happy Gilmore for the 500th time
Luv Happy 9/10

Falling Down (1993), not sure how I'd never seen this before. Really enjoyed it, great performance from Michael Douglas. Solid 90's thriller, seems ahead of it's time.
6.2/10

The Punsisher (1989), another film I'd never seen before, ruthless action film, Dolph is one scary actor. I think they actually fired more bullets in one scene of this film than the whole of Predator
Mindless action, but a fun film to watch. Must see if you like old action films.
5.5/10

Won't get to see this at the Cinema but looking forward to watching the Blu-Ray when it comes out, always love a X-Men film.
Watched Walter Mitty last night, an odd but enjoyable film so 6/10.

What the... people think this is a good film, how! Why?
Switched it off after 45 minutes, absolute pants

You mean because apart from the opening scene, it takes 45 minutes for anything to happen? yeah... I did the same
Familiar with the term grindhouse ?
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Not a film I would choose, but glad I got dragged to it, it's really good, some funny buts, great characters and a fun film.
8/10
Any one got any idea the name of this film, it was a trailer in the hall way with no sound and I missed the name off it.
It was about space, showed an Apollo launch as well as a shuttle, then towards the end had the statement "one year on" not sure if its factual ism, or some sort of scifi or what.
