What film did you watch last night?

Zombieland Doubletap at the cinema last night. Loved it! Great humour, following pretty much the same pattern and ways from the first movie. Woody Harrelson is really becoming one of my favorite actors as well. 8//10

The trouble with knowing there is a twist coming can detract from the enjoyment of the movie as you can be distracted trying to figure it out. I wouldn't consider it a spoiler as such but when I watch the movie now I will definitely be focused on what the twist might be rather than just going with the flow. Not sure how much of that made sense

Yeah I can understand the logic of that

I seem to remember the Nice Guys felt like a film I had seen a thousand times before. Only not remotely funny and not very interesting. Not one I’d recommend, soz!!

Lion King 2019
Boring, soulless and at times cringe. Terrible remake

Yeah it was ******* awful. Didn't enjoy Cindarella (was that the Emma Watson one?) much either, but Lion King was much worse.

In The Tall Grass [Netflix]

Absolute rubbish 2/10

99 Homes 8/10

Spiderman (Andrew Garfield) in a serious role about home evictions, lots of money, corruption and a moral dilemma around the 2008 housing crisis in America.

Watchmen 7.5/10
Best superhero film I have seen. Very dark, good dialogue, complex story and very gritty. No constant wisecracking from the characters either. Far better than all the generic marvel rubbish.

I was a little disappointed by it. Probably because it's no where near as good as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. If you haven't seen that then you'd probably enjoy Nice Guys more.

Arrival. (Again, for the 20th time).

Never bores, always gets a 11/10 from me. Other thought provoking film recommendations welcome (if that want a too vague request).

Damn good film. Quite emotional at times as well, if I do say so myself. You might have already seen it, but Source Code (2011), is a pretty thought provoking film.

Mother! with Jennifer Lawrence...what on earth did i just watch, def a thinker.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) - 5/10

There’s plenty of spectacular special effects full of magic and colour in this somewhat traditional movie, but unfortunately, there’s not a lot of story or memorable events to keep things interesting.

It picks up at the end because of the large scale action and climatic finale, but the weak plot, so-so acting, lack of comedic moments and cast of underdeveloped characters make things a little boring overall.

Typical Disney ending, although Jolie’s performance and the little porcupine character were good.

I’m guessing you’ve probably already seen it but I liked ‘Moon”.

Moon is a fantastic film. Anyone who hasn't seen it yet definitely should.

Eli 6/10
Decent little Netflix horror movie with a twist. Worth a watch.

Jokester · 21 Oct 2019 at 23:01

Zombieland: Doubletap 7/10
Really good, good fun, Emma Stone and Bill Murray (don’t leave at the end).

Have you watched Primer ?

Phate · 21 Oct 2019 at 23:40

The Big Lebowski

Had never ever seen this before. What a bizarre yet brilliant film

Can't say I had likes Jeff Bridges before seeing this either

Ive seen Source code but a long time ago, I might even have it on itunes. I'll watch again.

Timecrimes is a great time paradox film that makes you think too.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Also predestination:

And Mr Nobody:
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0485947/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

As mentioned above, primer is great too.

Love this sort of film.
