T2 Trainspotting
Good film. Better than the first one I thought which is unusual for a sequel .

Logan
9 out of 10. Thoroughly enjoyed it, damn sad to see the end of Jackman's interpretation of Logan, he's left some big boots to fill.

The Haunting (1999) - I remember this terrifying me when I saw it back in the day (possibly at the cinema).
Visually it's ages pretty well - the sets are impressive and the (horribly bombastic) CGI ghosts look very pretty too. As for being an actual horror / chiller film... what a car crash. The script is the worst culprit but the acting is poor too. The 'climax' is just... silly. 'Watchable fun' but very underwhelming other than for nostalgia reasons.
Probably a good ghostie flick for young teens but for anyone older (more susceptible to be distracted by scripts / acting) avoid, unless you want to see some unintentionally hilarious performances by Owen Wilson, Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones
3.5/10

The Lost City of Z
6/10
Just to long and a very disjointed movie.

Birdman - 9/10
Great film, well thought through, cleverly delivered, great acting, well shot, Emma Stone.

I know this **** is all subjective, but this just has to be an attempt at humour. It was gash, pure unadulterated gash.
Live By Night - 7.5/10
I know it got bad/middling reviews, but I thought it was well put together and managed to hold my attention for the full 2 hours. Affleck was fine, the plot didn't go full gangster (which is the impression I got from the reviews), and if I had to criticise I would have liked more of a bang to close out. Otherwise I don't regret watching it at all.
IP Man 6/10
It was ok. Was probably expecting too much but about halfway through I was already thinking I'd probably rather be watching The Raid.

Well thanks for your input. I simply disagree. Now, lets move with our lives shall we.

Dunkirk - I enjoyed it, solid film but the constant music was a tad irritating.

It Stains The Sands Red - 8/10
I posted a trailer for this about a month ago but no one seemed to care
Anyway, finally got to see it, and it's a pretty decent new take on the Zombie genre, no 'hordes' and no overpowered gun toting heroes. It's a lot more one on one personal.
Sure there's some stupidity towards the end, but it doesn't really spoil it for me.
Well worth a watch

Godfather - I end up watching this every few years and I enjoyed it more than previously. Quite long and you need keen eyes and ears to understand whom is whom (more so than most films) but very good. Was particularly good to watch it with someone who had never watched it before... such shock and what to my mind are such 'obvious' scenes.... a victim of its own success.
Michael's character change is still a bit odd to me.
Still think marlon looks like a hamster
8.5/10

It REALLY doesn't want to distinguish itself from it's stage play roots and whilst I think that lack of distinction may bother many, I can't say it detracted too much for me.
Superb performances with a thick, juicy vein of rich and tasty character development throughout. Had me shedding a few tears by the end. Would recommend to anyone who likes character based dramas.

Split Second - 1992 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105459/
I'd forgotten about this gem from the early 90's until I saw a reference to it on a gaming website recently.
Watched it last night and enjoyed it immensely!

Without the music the film would be a lot less impactful, I personally really enjoyed the score.
Caporegime
Not for me, it was a constant drone that I found distracting and as above, irritating.
At times I could barely make out some of the dialogue, not sure if that was just the cinema setup or not.
Man of Honour
How was the volume in general? I went to both Interstellar and Dark Knight and the volume was uncomfortable. Explosions/gunshots were pretty bad, and I'd imagine Dunkirk has a lot of each.
Maybe it's more down to the cinema than the director, but it's odd how I've only had that issue with Nolan films.
Caporegime
Very loud, probably the loudest film i've ever watched.
Man of Honour
Well that's not good. Probably give it a miss and wait for the bluray then. I get loud explosions and gunshots are atmospheric but not when it's uncomfortable.
