Spies Like Us - Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase in a 1985 spy comedy which I remember as being funny, it wasn't. 2/5
What film did you watch last night?
- Thread starter Richeh
- Start date
it's nearly always the way, things that made you laugh years ago usually don't make you laugh now.
A couple of films this week:
Gods of Egypt - 7/10
A dumb fantasy film that was enjoyable and Butler didn't ruin it with his performance.
Xmen: Apocalypse - 7.5/10
Worse than First Class and DoFP, but not bad at all. My expectations were really low due to the trailers, however I was pleasantly surprised. It did have a few problems though.
A Hologram for the King - 7.5/10
Nothing much to say but I enjoyed watching this. i'll probably watch it again with some friends next week.

Triple 9
Great cast and performances. Started off very good but about half way through I began to get bored. In the end I just didn't care what happened to the characters and saw most things coming a mile off.
A mediocre 5/10 from me.

10 Cloverfield Lane - 7/10
Hmm, was alright. Didn't really see the relevance of his daughter and the missing girl though. So he was just a weird kidnapper guy but at the same time it was actually beneficial for her to be kidnapped due to random aliens suddenly playing a visit? Okay, I guess.
+1
Agree with your spoiler as well!

Hush.
On Netflix, it's pretty good. Not without flaws or potholes but setting those aside it was quite enjoyable 90mins.

Crank 2: High voltage
The original Crank was a good film. A high adrenalin action movie with an interesting premise, non-stop action, and a sense of humour. This is an absurd self-parody of the original which isn't sure what it wants to be; too silly to be a decent action movie but not funny enough to be a genuine parody it ends up missing the target horribly.
4/10.

I think it was used as a plot device to get her to leave. If she didn't see that then why would she bother? She was relatively safe in there.
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.
Recently reread the book that i originally read in the seventies.
Pretty grim film about a russian soldier in ww2 captured by the germans and then when released after the war gets another 10 years in siberia ,
The film is a very good adaptation of the book well worth watching .
Tried for ages to find it on dvd but it only came out on vhs eventually found it on youtube last night.

X-Men: Apocalypse
I avoided all trailers and reviews, going in with an optimistic mind given I enjoyed First Class and DoFP.
Really couldn't get on with this. Only Last Stand was worse for me. Such a shame.
4/10 really wish I hadn't shelled out for the premium screen at the Leicester Square Vue

Last night's flying entertainment included:
5th Wave - 4/10 I feel even that is generous.
Deadpool - 9/10 Fortunately I watched this after the aforementioned and my faith in films restored. Excellent. Ryan Reynolds is hilarious. And as for Morena Baccarin, ooh la la!!

I've probably seen Jedi near 100 times (I'm really old), whereas I got bored with Force Awakens on the second viewing when I got the DVD. It's a funny old game.
yes it is a funny old world
Nah, I just thought Jedi was strange. So many cheesy moments, Jedi powers seemed to be so random, and the Ewoks? really? Just seemed really disjointed from the first two.
