Don't Breathe (2016) 6/10
I was REALLY looking forward to this, I loved the Director's reboot of the Evil Dead in 2013 and the media train seemed to be trumping this film as the next big ' scare'.
It was so so. It had a couple of really cheap jump moments, but beyond that I didnt really feel on edge at all whilst watching it. The supposed 'WTF' moment :
just didnt give me the WTF feeling the Director I presumed was going for. Maybe though this is more of a review of my numbness to a lot of this stuff now rather than the film.
Overall it was 'ok', which in effect resulted in me feeling let down.

Blind man pumping his semen via a turkey baster into a captive girl to produce a baby to replace the child he lost

I haven't seen the reboot, but the original was superb. Probably the most difficult film I've ever seen as far as staying engaged is concerned with for me (the Russian didn't help), but it was brilliant nonetheless.
The Acid House 8/10.
Always worth a look. The Granton Star Cause segment is brilliant. Class https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn1DXyHSWsg

A great film with so many great moments, quite eerie when they end up on the wrong side of town and come across the ducky boys
CA: Civil War
Yeah enjoyed it, much much better than the dire Ultron. Liked the way they were driven apart, and then when you think they're friends again.. BLAM.
Also liked the addon team members appearances, worked well. The younger spiderman was very good.
Solid 8/10
London Has Fallen
The first film, although middle of the road action flick, wasn't too bad with its flaws. It was watchable and had some good sequences.
This sequel however is dire. Cringe worthy in places.
2/10

The first one is good, probably the most jumpy film I've watched!

To be fair, it does also mean that they've also just come out on BD/DVD/Streaming too

Sausage Party (2016) - 5/10
A different animated movie with very crude sexual humour throughout and on the nose yet thoughtful religious commentary.
Some very funny scenes and the plot manages to hold the premise together, but the over-reliance on swearing, sex and drug humour loses its comedic and shock values long before the end.
Overall, the silliness and offensive humour manage to be both refreshing and tiresome.
