What film did you watch last night?

Stretched the 4k HDR legs of the new TV over the weekend.

Soul

Not as jazz heavy as we were fearing, and entertaining enough, though not the best of Pixar's work. Looked gorgeous in 4k HDR though.
6/10

The Invisible Man

Pleasantly surprised with this, and only a few plot-holes when ignoring the whole tech thing.
6/10

A Promising Young Woman

I like a good revenge story, and this certainly fit that bill. Weird seeing Bo Burnham in a film though.
I also find it funny that some men felt attacked by this.
7/10

I Am Mother

Finished with some Sci-Fi, and again it was enjoyable with decent effects for a limited budget.
6/10


So nothing amazing, but no ragrets (sic) either.
 
Song Bird - 4/10

Started out fairly promising but descended into silliness. Pretty rubbish to be honest, even considering it is graced with Alexandria Daddario's eyes :p

Greenland - maybe 2 out of 10. It started very well actually but after 15-20 minutes it dropped into tedious, predictable mediocrity and all the little attentions to detail of the first 20 minutes or so went out the window (the bulk of the movie is also pretty much a carbon copy of a couple of other disaster movies). Shame it could have been a good movie.

Peppermint (2018) - 5 / 10

A standard revenge thriller with a great committed performance by Garner as the lead, but otherwise very forgettable. Slow to start, the plot is riddled with clichés, dull villains, a weak support cast and an unsurprising twist, but it does have a few good moments in it to make it watchable. Very cliché and unbelievable, but I was rooting for her throughout.
 
Bad Grandpa .5

Not technically a film I guess as it's the behind the scenes filming of the Bad Grandpa film, but I would say this documentary is better than the actual film. It had me in stiches the whole way through. It's on Netflix.

10/10. Hilarious.

Was really good. A shame it did so poorly at the box office, as a sequel would be really welcome.

would be good to see how the automatic gun sounds on a good sound system
 
Started to watch “Angels and Demons”, Tom Hanks and Ewan McGregor, but after maybe 25 minutes I felt like slashing my wrists.
I like Tom Hanks, and Ewan McGregor, but the storyline left me absolutely cold.
 
The Little Things - 6 out of 10.

Watchable enough but Remi malek was so miscast in this film. Him and Jared Leto's performance was abysmal. Washington saved it somewhat. The film itself is like a really crap version of Seven.

^ what score out of 10?

I don't tend to bother with scores.

In the past, I've no doubt given a film a particular score one day but probably thought something else when watching on a different occasion. :D

I guess it also depends on how the viewer is feeling at the time too. I find the same with other media like games as well.

However, if it helps, I wouldn't say lower than a ~7 or higher than an ~8. :) It's not a film that I'd watch again and again but was very enjoyable for a one-time viewing, despite the context.
 
Watched Long Shot for the 2nd time - Seth Rogen rom/com about nerdy loser (Rogen) and beautiful Secretary of State (Charlize Theron) getting it on. One of those guilty pleasure films for me, I enjoyed it the first time around and still enjoyed it the 2nd time around. Lots of pop culture references, some crude jokes and Theron showing surprisingly good comic timing 8/10

Greenland - a disaster movie that features about 5 minutes of actual Greenland and 95 minutes of United States. Began with promise, aside from Butlers acting but quite quickly descended into the absurd with the run of bad things that happen and good lord has any leading character in a film ever said Sorry so much. Seriously, watch the film again and just count how many times Butlers character says sorry to someone. Must be the weakest most beta male on the planet. Plot gets sillier and sillier, culminating in an ending that has you throwing your hands in the air and exclaiming "yeah, right, whatever. Wheres the remote" 2/10
 
Greenland on Amazon Prime. 6/10.

Starring Gerald the Butler and Monicca The Bacchaharain. It is a disaster film where a comet and its smaller bits are on collision course to earth but goverments and scientists say all is ok. What can go wrong really? The latter are all wrong and Gerald's family are on course for an adventure in order to get to safety.

Some very good distruction shots, but the film has too many predictable moments you've seen a hundred times before.
