What film did you watch last night?

IO (2019) Netflix

Actually quite passable for a low budget sci-fi that doesn't feel cheaply made. Only so much they could with the story and ending was rather predictable but I don't quite get part of it.

So did she just start breathing without the gas mark at the end and beach scene is her with the son since she did the dirty with that bloke? Seemed like a pretty switched on scientist, surely she could figure out long time ago that she can breathe the air there?

That or it was just a dream from one of them or her hallucinating as she was dying maybe.

6/10
 
Just watched Split after work to be up to date before I go and see Glass tomorrow. McAvoy is superb in that one, I'm really impressed by how good he was. And the movie itself isn't bad at all either, not sure what score I would give it but a 7 or 8 out of 10 I think.
 
Mary, Queen of Scots (2019) - 6/10

Historical accuracy notwithstanding, I thought it was a good interpretation of the story, with plenty of turmoil, uncomfortable moments, and political intrigue.

Strong acting from the cast and detail in the historical setting, using powerful and emotive imagery to compare and contrast the 2 Queens.

It could have done with more scenery and less time in dingy interiors, and a slightly shorter running time.

Also watched this last night and I was disappointed in it, the trailer made out that the journey to the launch site would be the main focus of the film with the pair bonding on the way whilst they tackled the various challenges, instead I found it super slow with no real outcome...

Yes she can breath and yes she has given birth to a child, but now what? the rest of humanity are now long gone on their journey to deep space so unless she's into incest and looking begin a new civilisation of inbreds then that's then end of them pair. :confused:

I thought MQOS was actually rather good :)

Did not feel the same.

Just really really historically inaccurate and couldn’t get past that. Felt like it was trying to portray a true story of past events but most of it was complete fiction so couldn’t get on with it.
 
Halloween 2018

Quite a lot of kills, but also lots of stupidly and a total "what the ****?" moment when
Michael Myers doctor kills the sheriff just because he wants to hear Michael speak?!

6.5/10
 
Just watched all the Res Evil movies over the space of the week! I don't know why, i just got an itch to revisit - maybe it was the hype of Res Evil 2 remake. My best to worst:

1 1 - Resident Evil
2 2 - Apocalypse
3 5 - Retribution. Paper thin plot, but loved the way they had the characters returning throughout and Barry Burton!!
4 3 - Extinction.
5 4 - Afterlife
6 6 - The Final Chapter
 
The very last one was the worst by a mile. It's like the director had a fit and starting switching camera angles from start to finish. I dont think the camera stayed on one focus for more than 20 secs.

Ha! Yup!

There were some good set pieces, the part where the tanks were leading hordes and the survivors were fending them off. It was a bit A-Team, but the fire down the centre of the building was impressive. I thought the wrap up of how Alice came to be was handled well.

A very loose tie in, but at the time of release of Res Evil 1 the zombie genre on TV/Movies was nowhere near as huge as it is now; so i welcomed the movies.

T-Virus, Nemesis, Lickers, Umbrella, ZOMBIES and ofc Mila - nom nom nom

ETA - interesting vid.

Inbetweeners 2 - the first hour is pretty poor but it gets better if you stick with it. The waterpark scene is superb! 3/5
 
We watched Split last night in anticipation of the missus going to see Glass today and I have to say I really enjoyed it - very unusual to not have a typical "good guy" in a movie and James McAvoy was great imo!

Solid 8/10 for me!

Thanks for the info, was going to watch that last night, but I've seen so many films on Netflix that look ok then turned out to be utter rubbish. I've started checking on IMDB before I start watching just to make sure its not going to be waste of time. Turns out I made a good decision then :).
 
The Terminal.

I haven't seen this since lord knows when but my god is it still a good movie :D - I had completely forgot that Catherine Zeta Jones was in it as well so that was a nice bonus.

I laughed, I cried. As I haven't seen it since the cinema when I was a kid I had pretty much forgotten all the small funny bits in it. Tom Hanks is just utterly brilliant.
