What film did you watch last night?

A star is born 8/10
First half better than the second, bit predictable in the end, but a damn good sing show, GAGA wrote some excellent songs for this, I understand why people enjoyed it so much at the time.

Monster. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340855/

Great performance.

For the songs, I would've preferred if the lyrics didn't repeat so much, but I enjoyed the most of tunes.

Agreed, the ending was predictable, but overall I really enjoyed the film. Never seen the original.

The greatest showman.
A good musical show also.
7/10

Brightburn
Kept me interested all the way through, however with the way it ended It seemed like there should be some kind of ending that's missing.

Snowpiercer - 1/10

I thought it was one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Compliance. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1971352/

Bizarre but it kept me watching.

Alison (2016). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3949952/

An amazing story and moving account.

Head Cases. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2240884/?ref_=nm_knf_i2

Probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

On a plane I watched aquaman and glass.... I enjoyed glass as a conclusion to the 'trilogy', nothing spectacular but I found myself intrigued throughout and appreciated it as an alternative take on superhero movies as district 9 was to alien movies. Aquaman I almost switched off a couple of times but am glad I watched it through in the end as it came across as a modern day flash Gordon with some nice visuals that did not take itself too serious and managed to raise a smile.

I would give both solid 7/10s

Anna - Fit Russian lass is forced into being a spy and kills some no doubt bad men on they way to get her freedom. 5/10

I remember being a bit indifferent to it, neither liking or hating it.

I read some article a while after it came out that said it's a Willy Wonka sequel somehow, don't remember the specifics.

Aquaman - 5/10 (3 of these marks are for demo material)

This might be a new low for DC movies. On the plus side, it looks and sounds stunning. Arguably worth having just to put subs through their paces. On the downside, it was a complete, disjointed mess on a scale I previously didn't believe possible! I would genuinely rather watch Man of Steel again than watch this (and i'd rather stay at work than watch Man of Steel).

I watched Arctic on Friday night. Really enjoyed it. Pretty much a tale of survival for a guy following a plane crash.

Well worth watching.

Non-Stop

7/10

Wasn't too bad

Literally the first comic book adaption i've turned off, I even sat through Catwoman FFS.

Yeah, I thought this but how on earth do you come up with an ending?

You can't kill him, I think he's too far gone to be won over, and he can't kill everyone because....well, there'd be nothing left.

Only thing I thought of would be a bit more story around the spacecraft and that weird voice calling out to him.

robogeisha - 4/10 - pretty bad as you would expect, but some fun moments
prince of darkness - 6/10 - actually not bad. Some interesting ideas but definitely not carpenters best (or worst).

Nice to see Aquaman get panned, I've been umming and ahhing for ages, but DC films in general are absolute junk. Wonder Woman was good, Suicide Squad was decent-ish and the Dark Knight stuff was good but that's it. Especially X-men, what a load of ****.

barmyllama · 25 Jun 2019 at 13:22

Bumblebee.

Sort of like E.T. but with a robot and a teen-age girl.

Except E.T was good and this was complete tosh. How this was so well reviewed is beyond me.

Kind of like being punched in the foot after being punched in the head, it's almost a pleasure to not have the head beating even though there is still pain.

The previous transformers movies are the head punches, Bumblebee is the foot.

I thought X-Men was a Marvel comic, Fox film production?
