What film did you watch last night?

[Psymonkee]

The Warriors - first time I've seen it.

Lets just say I won't be watching it again. Meh. 2 meh films in a row - I think I must be a miserable sod

 

[Begbie]

Band of Robbers ( I think that was the name), never finished it.

Imperium - Daniel Radcliffe plays an undercover neo nazi. Which is a joke in itself. Theres a scene, where hes came home from a hard day at work and starts drinking. It's like watching a child in a suit drinking. He shouldn't be in parts like this. Also turned it off.

I, Daniel Blake : 9.5 / 10

Ken Loach film about the story of Daniel an elderly carpenter, who after a major heart attack, battles the benefits system and takes a single mother under his wing.

A bleak film showing the crushing reality of life at the bottom of our society and how the system is designed to hinder not help them.

What a powerful film.

If you mean the gang film I guess you need to have seen it around the time it came out as it's so influenced from the late 70s early 80s that it's quite dated now. I love it because it transports me back to being a kid

 

[Cleisthenes]

Dr Strangelove etc etc etc

A hilarious piece of satire which deserves all the credit it has received over the years.

9/10

Sausage party 2/10 wtf did i just watch

My thoughts exactly, I'm still ashamed that I was convinced to pay to watch it at the cinema

I can't wait to see this. Everything I'm hearing is so positive, apart from how depressing it is!

The two women sat next to me were quietly crying for at least the last half hour of the film, nearly set me off!

That's what I love in a film, something that can engage and affect you so intensely

The Accountant. 7/10. Few slow parts but the action was good and the way it linked all the characters together I liked.

 

[Kristoph]

Allied 8/10 really enjoyed this, tense throughout and kept you guessing. Good storyline and what I really liked was the inclusion of a selection of small scenes that didnt really move the story but helped keep up the tension throughout, they were really nicely played. Engaged theoughout. Probably wont go see it again for a while as its one of those where once you know the outcome it probably wont feel he same next time round.

This. Just got out of the cinema. Didnt expect a lot, had only heard radio ads (didn't sell it particularly well) and the trailer briefly.
Really pleasantly surprised though, roller coaster of tense moments and emotion. It had a bit of a Hollywood ott feel at times. Some of the cgi was a bit obvious and felt like they were cheating slightly where they didn't need to. (parachute onto sand shot for example), but the chemistry and buildup were what redeemed it for me.

Fantastic beasts and where to find them 5/10

Effects where good, story was okay but the acting was a bit awkward and the pacing of the film was dreadful. Honestly felt like it was 30 minutes too long!

 

[Gambisk]

The light between oceans 5/10
A well produced film and a really great cast let down by a completely unbelievable plot and many weeping middle aged women in my screening

Fantastic beasts and where to find them 7/10
I enjoyed this from start to finish, I knew nothing about it other than it was a Harry Potter spin off. It was great to be able to see something more of the extended world of J.K. Rowling, I felt the final act let it down a bit as I've been numbed to seeing large scale city distuction caused by magical/super creatures.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Vanilla Sky - 9/10

Never too sure about Tom Cruise, but it remains one of my favourites. Blew my mind when I first saw it. Incredible soundtrack too, up there with the best.

That blue 250 GTO too. Drool.

 

[datalol-jack]

Dr Strange -- 5/10

No Ant Man, to be sure. Was bored twenty minutes in. Only my undying love for Benedict Cumberbatch kept me going. Hoping the Harry Potter spin-off is better.

 

[f3rr3t]

Had a Vietnam movie itch last night so watched Apocalypse Now. Platoon tonight methinks.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Platoon is brilliant.

 

[Destination]

Oh yes.

 

[datalol-jack]

Oh yes.

Speaking of which, Churchill is coming out next year.

Utterly superb movie and a rare case of the remake being better than the original.

I just know that comment is gonna trigger someone but I mean it completely.

21 (2008)

21 is a 2008 American heist drama film directed by Robert Luketic and starring Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Bosworth, Liza Lapira, Jacob Pitts, Aaron Yoo, and Kieu Chinh. The film is inspired by the true story of the MIT Blackjack Team as told in Bringing Down the House, the best-selling book by Ben Mezrich

Ok, that blurb does not do it justice.

I liked it, amusing at places and for reasons I cannot explain, I found it interesting.

The Blind Side. Based on a true story, Sandra Bullock and her family take in a poor and struggling black kid and help him become a star American football player at his school, from which he goes on to the NFL. A bit saccharin at times but it's a good story and well told. Sandra Bullock does a Deep South accent and wears some tremendously tight trousers. Schwing.
