Films I watched this week

[toasty]

Rec - The original Spanish version. TV Team follows Fire Crew into call to save a trapped woman in apartment building. From then on it's '28 days later' in one building. I'd forgotten how good this was. 8/10

[PH XKR]

Simon peggs absolutely anything, really nice fun film 8/10

Mrs. M. stumbled across The Legend of Barney Thomson on Netflix.

Robert Carlyle's comedy about a serial killer in Glasgow. Emma Thompson is on magnificent form as his mother and Carlyle plays the bitter loser of a barber part wonderfully. Extremely sweary, but very funny with a nice little twist in it that is hinted at if you watch carefully.

Some good performances by Ray Winstone, Tom Courtney and a fair old group of other British actors too.

Subtitles mind. Doesn't bother me, but some hate them.

TRON:legacy tonight - a very good sequel/reboot. It looked great, lots of nods to the original, and I thought it did a better job of the storytelling than the original, which felt a bit disjointed to me. Excellent stuff - 8/10.

+1 its a superb film. Underrated imo.

Soundtrack is also fabulous.

Grosse Point Blank. A perfect 10/10.

"It's not me"

Brilliant film. Totally agree with the score.

One of my favourite films.

Fair play

[Langweilig]

The Martian - I thought there were similarities to Red Planet and Mission to Mars. Was Ridley Scott taking the mickey out of Sean Bean when "Project Elrond" was announced?

Anyway, although I enjoyed the film, I'm not sure I'd want to see it again.

13 Assassins
Was on last night rather late but a veritable bloodbath.
Japanese sub-titled adventure where 12 samurai, plus another picked up along the way, take on an army of 200. Brilliant blokey stuff - archers, gunpowder explosions, sword-play second to none and much much more.
Sit back and don't engage brain too much but up there with the best of the genre.
Killing with honour of course.

Star Wars - The Force Awakens. Is it just me or did Mark Hamill look like Oliver Reed?

It may be both of you.

Half an hour too long and a bit st.

London has Fallen.

Complete cak.

[jammy_basturd]

Just watched Whiplash again, possibly one of the best ending scenes?! A real solid 4.5/7 from me.

[parabolica]

Children of Men - forgot how atmospheric this one is; camera work really immerses you.

The Jungle Book. Awesome; just awesome.

Eye in the Sky later tonight; looking forward to it.

[Hoover.]

I watched "Clockers" this morning, a film about dealing on the streets in the 90's directed by Spike Lee........ not seen it in years, kept me attention all the way so overall not a bad film
