What film did you watch last night?

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , 5/10.
Read the original in the 70's , quite a good idea to use the same storyline and add the Zombies , it nearly works and the Bennet sisters had some impressive cleavages.
 
IT Chapter Two

Far too long and bloated, didn't really feel like a horror and definitely didn't have the tone of the first film. Probably would feel more entertaining if I didn't have to sit in a cinema chair for 2 hours and 40 minutes plus ads and trailers.
 
Rocket Man 7/10
I'm not a huge fan of Elton or musicals but I have to say I enjoyed this film.

Annabelle comes home 5/10
Not particularly scary and full of the same old tropes. Seen worse though I guess.

Detective Pikachu - 9/10. Very funny, looked great and even though I know nothing about Pokemon it didn't matter. "Only" 90 mins too so it actually felt slightly short, but it probably didn't need to be padded out either.

Fully agree with this. We watched last night and, maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, enjoyed it more than John Wick 3.
 
Ad Astra 5/10. Part art-house chin-stroker, part stupid and laughable space physics guff. Replace Brad Pitt with Austin Powers, minus the laughs, and you'd be pretty close. Looked great on IMAX and all 5 points solely for Brad. Should be every astrophysicist's Xmas movie for years to come.

Seriously, a rage-filled monkey killed everyone on the mayday ship? The rings of Uranus can be traversed in 2 minutes using a metal cowling?

I was interested in seeing this. Is it really that bad? Or just not your sort of film?

I’m surprised you rated it that highly! Saw Ad Astra last night and a generous 3/10. Awful plot, science and acting. It barely makes any sense at all.
 
Hobbs and Shaw. Thought it was action packed, amusing and silly, just like other FandF movies have become. Loved the unexpected cameos and the ultra ott action scenes.
 
Gods of Egypt...wtf. Felt like the director and script writers had watched too many Marvel movies and went out of their to try and emulate the shoehorned in jokes, mostly failing miserably.
 
Tombstone - love me most modern westerns, so about time I got round to this, especially as it’s got Kurt Russell in it.

The most notable thing about this move is... Val Kilmer!!...?! He is undisputedly awesome in this film. I mean, where did that come from. Great character, completely steals the show.

Film itself was excellent for 2/3rds then went a bit Rambo towards the end. Picked up with a surprisingly emotional penultimate scene. Deffo worth a watch.

7.5/10
 
Avengement (Netflix) 7/10

I was expecting **** tbh so maybe I've scored it higher than some here would but it's a British hard man prison movie. Little cliche in places but the filming, acting and general presentation of the movie is well done. Fight scenes are a lot more realistic than John Wick, a couple of bits to make your eyes water too. The storyline is a little predictable in places but still worth a watch.

This is a movie, not a film, action over story.
 
For me Pale Rider is probably one of the best ever westerns, love the plot with the ghostly undertones.

Never watched Shane - Way overdue so tonight's film sorted.

Tombstone, I think its an epic film with a great movie and cast. Pale Rider and Tombstone, for me (alongside the original Dollar films & Unforgiven) are the best westerns.
