What film did you watch last night?

You don't like mad max fury road.
You preferred the avengers 2 to guardians of the Galaxy.
You preferred the hobbit to Lord of the rings.
At this point it's safe to conclude I should just assume the opposite when it comes to your opinion on films
Dear god.
The CGI in hobbit got me ranting something awful.
USE MINIATURES YOU LAZY ********!
And the excessively comical action sequences which looked like the games companies bribed them to put such trash in.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince... This and the Deathly Hallows 1 & 2 and my favorites of the series; its lost a lot of its kiddyness and is quite dark... But talking of dark, the image quality is ruined by a very dank, grey and lifeless grade, which even on an overcast day forced us the draw the curtains. Not sure if it was like this at the cinema, but its horrible on Blu-ray 
Anyway for the film 8/10... 4/10 for the PQ.

Hyena. 9/10
Excellent film with a kill list type feel to it. Very much recommend it

Innerspace was a sort of remake of it. Also very entertaining viewing.
Also watched it tonight and I agree. The good thing about Olympus was the action was more centralised in the Whitehouse. This went all over the place and it didn't flow very well because of it. Also the
insider didn't seem to have much motivation other than becoming rich which I felt a bit of a cop out. Something a b it more personal, say his two brothers being killed in Afghanistan or his Dad being killed in Gulf War 1 or something would have been more realistic. And why is it only a single person confronts the inside man in these things. I'd love to have seen him arrested and hung for treason.

Hail, Caesar!
2 hours of my life I am never going to get back. Awful.

really? damn. Love the Coen's and was nice to see them returning to comedy after some pretty serious/dark stuff for a while. Reviews seem pretty mixed too ill admit.

Surprised, with the Coen brothers and the all star cast, this looked like it would be a hit. Shame. I'll judge it for myself though.

After Hyena last night,which had the Kill list feel to it, I had to watch Kill list again tonight.
Strange film that one but for some reason I really enjoyed it more the second time around. I think it was because it wasn't as "WTF just happened?" and I picked up a few of the nuances it leaves to pick up on

I thought the trailer seemed funny but the film itself was boring. I couldn't wait to leave. Didn't lauvh once, not even a smirk.
Really like Harsh times and all of Ayers stuff, gives me high hopes for Suicide Squad. Don't agree it's better than EOW though, which is in my top 10 movies ever.
Thought Emilia was a cracking Connor, only her height let her down a bit, sounds silly but she got the performance spot on, her stature was the issue.

Looks like harsh times is tonights watch. I loved EOW and find myself watching it every 6 month or so
Maybe they could have asked the GoT crew for some tips, half the time with Peter Dinklage is spent de-emphasising the height difference.
Ray (2004) - 9/10 Loved it, forgot how much I enjoyed Ray Charles music. Foxx's performance was fantastic. A few slightly corny lines slightly detracted but probably my 2nd favourite musical biopic after Almost Famous 
The Doors (1991) - 6.5/10 Val Kilmer was great and I like some of their music but gruelling to watch. Jim Morrison spiralled very quickly and most of the film is spent watching him act like a complete **** to the people closest to him, you do really just watch him hammered/drugged to heaven and spouting philosophical rubbish for over an hour. Not necessarily a fault of the film but his story didn't make for the most entertaining movie.
