What film did you watch last night?

Die Hard 3 (“with a vengeance”) - deffo my favourite of the lot. I think people are a bit overly-nostalgic over the original. The third has such a strong start and an excellent ‘real time’ feeling. Leads are all great. Possibly my fav action film of all time! Only thing is that it starts to sag a little at the end as it just can’t sustain the top notch energy once the intrigue fades out. The final scene is also a little anticlimactic but overall a must watch 9/10

Back to the Future 3 - finally got round to this, @Rifte ! Much better than I remember and feels back to basics compared to the second... with less ‘villainy’ and more ‘adventuring’. Clara is still immensely annoying and that barn dance music is hurrrrghhh but otherwise a lot of fun :) 7/10
 
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. 9/10

From the guy who did In Bruges, so he'll always get my money. Quality film and has to be an Oscar for Frances McDormand. Belly laughs and gut punches.
 
Kong - Skull Island

2nd time of watching & found it much more enjoyable this time. Particularly liked the fight scenes with Kong & the Skull crawler at the end.

Also first proper run out with my new RS165 headphones, sounded excellent & comfortable to wear. Pleased with my purchase!

Not sure die hard 3 is better than the first but it’s definitely better than 2 or anything that followed it. It is good fun, but it’s very different when it’s sprawling all out across the city rather than just in a relatively compact building.

Bttf3 is better than 2, yes. The tone is much better - 2 is quite dark and unpleasant in places. The train finale is also an absolute triumph in terms of practical effects and stunts. If it were made today it would be all cgi and it would be terrible.

Not as impressive as Buster Keatons "The General" train crash. They actually used a real locomotive.


It was shot on July 23, 1926 – the most expensive single shot in silent-film history. Three or four thousand local people from all over the area had gathered on that hot summer day to witness what would be the single most expensive shot of the silent era. At three o’clock in the afternoon, Keaton gave the signal to the six cameramen to begin cranking. It had to be done in one take – Keaton couldn’t afford to build a new bridge, buy a new locomotive and try again. It had to be perfect.
 
Three Billboards : 8.8 / 10

Touching, tragic, funny and sad. Savage dialogue and great performances.....best film I have seen at the cinema in quite a while

It's amazing how 1 scene changes the dynamics of 2 main characters almost 180 degrees, you know what I mean, with the headphones.

Yet it was believable and not out of the realm of possibility of what they were doing were within their character.
 
Dunkirk. I enjoyed it but to me it felt more like a piece of cinema using Dunkirk as a theme as opposed to an actual film about Dunkirk. I suppose that is probably the point but I can see why some people didn't like it when they may have expected a more traditional war film. 8/10
 
GeoStorm

I want my 2 hours back, screw you Gerard Butler !! 2/10 at best. might have been visually ok at the cinema in 4dx but on a tv it just shows the film for what it is.... crap.
 
Wonder Woman. Seriously disappointing given all the fuss about it. No interesting characters or arcs, no interesting story, no particularly impressive fight scenes. Endless Zack Snyder slooooo-mooooo.

Nope.

Still, on the plus side, those thighs.
