What film did you watch last night?

Buried, Ryan Reynolds film. A solid 8/10, quite gripping and some 'edge of seat' moments. Same sort of thing as 'Locke' with 1 actor only ever being shown and the rest of the movie is made up of phone calls pertaining to that characters circumstance.

A worthy watch.

Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World.

Was pleasantly surprised to see this available on my flight back from Beijing yesterday. Werner Herzog is clearly a bit of a luddite, and turns the movie into a rather sombre affair, but still well worth a watch.

Spectre - 8/10 better than expected

Finding dory - 7.5/10

Shakespeare in love - 6.5/10

Rogue One.

What a brilliant movie. K-2SO was my favourite, and I imagine that's what Jarvis from iron Man would be like if he had an actual sense of humour

I was the droid figure for my desk now lol.

Passengers 6/10

I've been wanting to watch this, but the claustrophobic in me is telling me nooooooo

Seen a few films this holiday.

Rogue 1. Very enjoyable, great to see a story from the sw universe, gritty and nicely shot. Only shame was the way that most of the characters didn't really get a chance to develop. 9/10

Passenger. Really good imho, liked the premise and the way the plot developed. 8/10

Pete's Dragon. Sat down with the whole family for this one,age 11-50. We all enjoyed it. pretty scary in places for the youngest and you knew where the plot was going but we all stayed on the whole film. 7.5/10

MissChief · 1 Jan 2017 at 16:34

Keeping up with the Joneses. Pretty lightweight but Gal Gadot and Isla Fisher can't be bad to watch. 6/10

Magnificent 7

I like a good western and I found this to be good but not great. A lot better than the 1960 version which I found to be nothing more than a vehicle for the stars. This one had a bit more to it and the direction and cinematography were excellent!

Unfortunately all westerns will be compared to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, one of the greatest movies ever made, IMO!

6/10

Lights Out

An alright film as far as modern horror films go, pretty cool concept. Was made after the success of a short film on youtube. My problem with modern horror films is always the ending and unfortunately this is guilty of it as well. Still was ok to watch

6/10

Ouija: Origin Of Evil

Yeah...avoid. Pants film that seems to go nowhere for ages then just suddenly seems to lose the plot. Rubbish

3/10

Assassin's Creed (2017) - 7/10

Overall, a rather good and much better than expected action film, especially for fans of the video games.

Far too heavy on the lore and the modern day setting, but the film is very stylish and artistic throughout.

The character’s and their personalities are very underdeveloped and although the plot is relatively simple, it tries to fit too much in, glossing over the ending almost entirely.

The action scenes are fast paced and exciting to watch, especially in historical Spain, and faithfully cover a lot of elements from the source material.

One film I would very much like to see a sequel to.

Apparently in the interview from MF with Simon Mayo he said it's a trilogy arch for the movie, that highly depends how well this does at the box office obviously.

Passengers 7/10. Going against the grain with my opinion but I really liked it!

Mark1989 · 1 Jan 2017 at 19:58

Blair witch 2016 utter utter ****e not even one good scene it needs deleting from every format of media it's on so people don't waste the 1hr 29min I did

Steedie · 1 Jan 2017 at 19:59

Just stop now trust me it does not improve. The original one did not need any follow ups they have both been terrible

Steedie · 1 Jan 2017 at 20:40

Yep Blair Witch 2016 is possibly the worst horror film I've ever seen

1/10
