What film did you watch last night?

Zootopia - very surprised it was that good. Full of humour and fun. Tackling racism in a very clever way. Going in thinking it be one for the kids but was pleasantly surprised and entertaining. Animation really capture the expressions for each character. 9/10.
 
The Canal - Was one of those get into bed gone 1am, turn TV on, flicking through channels, get to Horror Channel only to find something just starting and then being particularly engrossed for 90 minutes or so :)

Very good movie, brilliant acting by the lead male, pretty creepy this one. A British mix of The Ring and The Grudge, well worth a watch, especially for the on screen wife :) 8/10

Batman vs Superman
I actually fell asleep. Admittedly I'd had a couple of beers after leaving work. But I missed the last half due to sleep. Can't have been that great.
 
The Girl on a train - 6.5/10

I liked it. When it was tense it was very tense. The twist was good although SWMBO & I guessed it with about 30-40mins to go. However it didn't build enough pressure between the tense scenes.

Worth a watch though!
 
Das Boot (1981)

A brilliant WW2 submarine film about a German U-Boat crew during the Battle of the Atlantic. Gripping from start to finish and very believable. Definitely one to watch in German with the subtitles on too.

9/10

The film is an edited down version of a full mini-series. The whole thing is quite an experience, so if you enjoyed the film version, you should try the full version.

Oh wow, is that available to buy on blu-ray too do you know?

Yeah, I've had the DVD version on my shelves for years, Amazon has a Blu-ray version here. IIRC, the Director's Cut movie turns it more into an action film, where the series goes more into the characters, and the slow tension bits where they are stuck in the submarine, so parts of it are more slower, considered and thoughtful, interspersed with the terror of combat and the relief of being back home on leave.

Star Trek Beyond.

Worst of the three IMO, it was okay, but nothing special.

6/10

See I thought it was the best of the 3. The other 2 seemed to drag a touch. This one kept me entertained throughout.

A 6 to 7 is a fair assessment for all of them given they really just action films in space now.

The mini series is truly superb!
 
Cromwell 8/10

Watched it on BBC just this afternoon. It's a movie from 1970 starring Richard Harris. He was a really great actor. Didn't expect to watch the whole thing but it was very compelling and a good history lesson on how modern day government came to be.
 
Swiss Army Man - 9/10.

I love movies that take you on a journey to some place strange and this took me to somewhere very strange! It sits along side Hunt for the Wilderpeople as my favourite movie of 2016. Great escapism.
