What film did you watch last night?

[Jokester]

Avatar : The Way Of Water

Entertaining enough and looked very pretty, but I’m wondering why Hollywood thought the original needed a sequel.

5/10

I find them, but particularly the sequel, a massive hit in its own right, bizarre. A huge franchise now, yet nobody ever really sings their praise other than the first one looked great from a technical point of view.

What is it? Another 3 to come?

Inside Out 2 - 6/10

Not as good as the first, and I found myself drifting in parts, but on the whole it's okay.

Arrival 2nd or 3rd viewing and I still think it's pretty great a solid 8/10

2 Guns (2013)

Seen it a few times before and it's still a great popcorn movie. Wahlberg and Washington have some great chemistry and the whole thing just works for me.

I'm very surprised they didn't make a sequel.

7/10

I would watch a sequel to this!

Will stick it on my watchlist as I haven't seen it for a couple of years!

Alien (1979)

After seeing the trailer for Alien: Romulus at the cinema the other week, I had a hankering after watching the original again.

After seeing it many times before and considering it's 45 years old, it's still a masterpiece in film making. The only thing that really dates the film is the CRT screens and maybe that most of the characters smoke.

It also looks and sounds fantastic on 4k Blu-ray.

Going to rewatch Aliens on 4k tonight.

10/10

Watched it again tonight.

It's not like I've never noticed the smoking, but I consciously thought when I watched it tonight that there's way too much smoking in this.

In the 70's when it was made, about 40% of people were smokers. Now it's more like 10% of people.

'Mother' has always dated it as well. When you can speak to google on a speaker now and yet they have to go in to a special room and type basic sentences on a keyboard.

Cannonball Run

So crap its brilliant.

 

[Flibster]

Furiosa

It's fine. Fury Road's better

Twisters - 6.5/10

Brain off, sound up! Good fun with great effects.

 

[Lartyconshayo]

Mars Express. French sci-fi in the vein of Blade Runner, but holds it's own. A tight 90 mins. Fantastic animation. 9/10

 

[Mariusz]

Watched Hurt Locker last night 7/10. Good film but a bit OTT, great audio track, felt the explosions and helicopter's sounded above me.

 

[arc@css]

The Shawshank Redemption.

I've not seen this for quite a while, so it felt like time for a revisit.

Excellent performances throughout. Bob Gunton and Clancy Brown do a great job as the corrupt warden and sadistic guard captain.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

In the name of the father.

Even now it's a great watch. Lost count how many times I've watched this over the years.

No Way Up - Amazon, 6/10.

Not going to win any Oscars for the acting but it’s a good enough for 90mins to pass the time.

No Way Up - Amazon, 6/10.

Not going to win any Oscars for the acting but it’s a good enough for 90mins to pass the time.

I really wish I'd watched this before I took up scuba. There are so many issues when you understand the effects of pressure & depth that it really took me out of the story.

 

[AStaley]

@checjb In the case of this film I imagine ignorance is bliss . For fun, you could probably pick who’s going to live and who’s going to die before the plane crashes. It’s not a clever film, doesn’t try to be, just something to pass the time.

 

[freddie64]

Bullet Train.

Enoyable action movie , bit like Kill Bill but funnier.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Something like that. #3 due next year, so at least we don’t have to wait 13 years this time.

In A Violent Nature - 5.5 / 10

In what looks like, and felt, this writer/directors first full length feature film he didn't do too bad a job. The main issue we had was the moody, brooding tension sequences of following the protagonist while he (slowly) walked about after his victims were just too long and monotonous and ended up ruining the tension they were trying to envoke.

But if you like gross out slasher horror then the effects of this one were particularly brutal and well done.

Orphan - Enjoyed this 7/10

Orphan - First Kill - not as good 6/10
