What film did you watch last night?

Bit of a Pierce Brosnan Bondathon for me over the weekend.

Tomorrow Never Dies - a more modern baddie for Bond but not much of interest. 3/5

The World is not Enough - convoluted plot about kidnapping, nuclear bits and bobs and a big pipe. Most notable for saying goodbye to Desmond Llewellyn. 3/5

Die Another Day - more action oriented but with too many gadgets and nonsense. It wasn't all bad but it was time to shake it up. Back to basics with Casino Royal. 3/5
 
I’m going to the cinema on Monday. There’s two films starting with American, American assassin and American made, which is better?

I've seen American Made and it was a good (enough) romp, especially if you like that whole Narco's story

American Assassin got much worse reviews iirc
 
The House

By-the-numbers comedy featuring SNL peeps. Perfectly amusing, and good bloopers.

6/10

Rough Night

As above, by-the-numbers, but with enough funny moments to make it worthwhile.

6/10

The Invitation

Single location thriller, fairly predictable, but still delivered in an interesting manner. Nice little twist right at the end.

6/10
 
Primer - ?/10

Yeah, this needs another viewing. Watched a youtube explanation of it and i hopefully wont be lost the second time around. Pretty novel time traveling film though.
 
Kickboxer. Don't know how I ever managed to miss this one as I love a good old 80's action movie. Like rocky mixed with karate kid on steroids!

Yup great movie. Checkout Bloodsport too

Classic JCVD films.

Check out Universal Soldier, The Quest & Lionheart (AWOL), I like them because of my youth but not everyone will.
 
Alien Covenant - 7/10

Actually reading all the reviews and opinions absolutely roasting this I expected this to be a lot worse, when I ignored the obvious moments of stupidity from some of the crew it wasn't actually too bad.

It's an ok movie. I think it gets a hard time as it's nowhere near as good as alien or aliens.

That and the dumb decisions the characters make :p
 
Baby Driver - 8/10

Very good film I thought, thoroughly entertained all the way through. The music selection and the acting and the characters stories played out really well.
 
Two Night Stand: Miles Teller (who looks like a giant baby cherub) and Analeigh Tipton (who looks like a cute squirrel) are snowed into his apartment the morning after they have a one-night stand. They've both got issues, but trapped together, they are forced to actually get to know each other over the next day. Nicely acted, it's a slightly more grown up story of two people connecting. The dialogue is snappy and clever, and both actors are immensely watchable, which is a good thing, as most of the film is them talking to each other in the apartment. There's a twist, and an expected (clichéd) ending, but I really liked it.

There's some sex talk and a non-explicit sex scene, so it probably not something to watch with granny, but if you liked "Friends With Benefits", or "No Strings Attached", you'll probably like this.
 
Eurotrip - 7/10
It's a silly comedy but very well done imo (one of the best teen comedy type films from the 00's), very funny without being over the top or too crass.
It gave me a much needed laugh:)
