What film did you watch last night?

I saw a chick comedy called Rough night.
Zero expections, mildly funny in parts but ghetto humour. Slapstick almost.

6/10 funny enough to not be boring.
 
Almost Human.

Written by Joe Begos. Directed by Joe Begos. Cinematography by Joe Begos. Edited by Josh Ethier. Starring Josh Ethier and Kristopher Avedisian.

The year is 1980-something. Seth is hanging out in the woods at night, just doing his thing, when suddenly weird stuff starts to happen. He flees to the house of his friend Marc, and begs for help. Marc is skeptical, and steps outside with a gun to confront... whatever.

Minutes later, Marc is abducted by aliens.

Two years pass. Marc is still missing, Seth is still hanging around town, and Marc's girlfriend is now engaged to some other guy. A pair of hunters stumble across a naked body in the woods, and it turns out to be Marc, who is very much alive but a little worse for wear. That's when the killing starts.

Bodies begin to pile up as the cast is dispatched with commendable variety:

* neck snapped
* shotgun in the face
* throat cut with knife
* throat cut with hacksaw
* shotgun in the back
* axe in the head
* scissors in the head
* head crushed with a rock

I might have missed a few, but you get the idea.

There's a tentacle rape scene that is so outlandish, the protagonist actually stops to watch it for a few seconds before making any attempt to rescue the victim.

Overall, this film was a wasted opportunity to make good on an excellent premise.

I rate Almost Human at 13.32 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a disappointing 4/10 on IMDB.
 
finally got round to watching power rangers last night without falling asleep. that was pretty good and not really what i was expecting. definite 7.5-8/10 from me.

The Great Wall

Oh wow that was terrible! I thought this would be a good switch your brain off and enjoy the fight scenes, but when the entire movie is one long fight scene boredom well and truly sets in.

The build up was non existent, the fight scenes were absurd, the characters forgettable, its like half the movie was left on the cutting room floor and instead they just crammed in one long battle.

They had 60 years to prepare for battle and seemed incapable of fighting (they did have the suicidal crane corps :D !) plus they built the wall but no other defences on the approach to said wall!

edit: I just remembered Matt Damon's accent! I cannot remember watching a film where the lead character's accent kept changing from one scene to the next :D

3/10

i thought that film was excellent and really enjoyed it
 
Having a free afternoon after some training at work in the morning I'm watching John Wick in memory of Michael Nygvist's (Viggo) passing last night. Great actor who done several great movies :(

Kong: Skull Island.

I watched this movie for what it is; I judged it according to its genre. It was still ****.

2005 Kong was better. Yes it was corny, yes it was silly, but it knew what it was, and it didn't pretend to be anything else. That's why it worked. Pacific Rim was big, and dumb, and proud of it. That's one of the reasons it was so enjoyable.

My wife watched this the other day and funnily enough her first comments to me were: 'Disappointing, not enough cheese'. She likes all these kind of movies for the cheesiness of them, so taking that away leads to bitter disappointment :)

2005 Kong worked because of its cheesiness. 2017 Kong failed because it tried to be serious but didn't have the courage of its convictions.
 
Okja on Netflix - 7/10

Tonally quite inconsistent, it starts at as more of a comedy but has some really dark parts to it. Overall though was very entertaining and quite emotional, well acted by all involved and very good CGI. Maybe slightly too long buy only by 15 minutes or so.
 
Power rangers 3/10 pacing was all over, took to long to actually start any formal of power ranger cheese. Just felt very boring and flat in places. Jokes all felt forced. Hope it doesn't get a sequel
 
ghost in the shell 2/10

watched it last night after a friend said it was a really good movie.


absolutely terrible and only saved by the last 20 mins or so. way to slow with little going on
 
Sword Master (2016)

Some great fight scenes, and some interesting characters. I actually thought much of the backstory sounded more interesting than the film.

Jumped about at times and filled an afternoon.

5.5/10
 
Baby Driver 7.5/10.

I found the first 20 mins a bit not my thing, I am getting old so I'm putting it down to that, but once the film got going it was really enjoyable.
 
A View to a Kill - goodbye Roger Moore, the last of his Bond films. At 57 I think he had outstayed his welcome a little but the film itself was not the best, Christopher Walken as Zorin was a truly unhinged Bond baddie and Tanya Roberts may actually be the best looking Bond girl but the plot was not much to speak of. 3/5
