Latest fantastic 4

Looked great. Effects and design great. How could they make such a st nonsensicall film.

Should have been called
The Barely Adequate Four

X-men apocalypse apparently it's terrible, maybe I saw a directors cut or something as it was good, as good an any of the previous movies, 8/10

Eye in the sky frustratingly annoying Jesse Pinkman doesn't want to kill people as a drone operator, good film but so many people needing a good boot up the arse, and the last performance of Alan Rickman as brilliant as ever, 8/10.

I watched Eye in the Sky last night as well.
I wasn't going to post as it was so bad I couldn't be arsed.
3/10

I watched Broken flowers earlier, typical Jim Jarmusch disjointedness, but well shot as always, and who needs all the strings tied neatly anyway.

I like Broken Flowers, I had to wiki to see what else he did, I also enjoy Ghost Dog and Dead Man.

Finally got round to seeing Predestination after finding out it was based on a short story called All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein who was a favourite author of mine. Wow really well done, loved it, but then I love time travel stories. Loved the era it was set in.

I watched Predestination last night, loved it. Probably watch it again soon once i've mulled it over a bit. I'm a sucker for time travel films, another good one i saw recently was called '41'.....stumbled across it on youtube.

The Hateful Eight. Hateful indeed. I'm watching it now and it's 2 hours 40 mins of fking boring, pretentious ste. I fell asleep an hour ago, it's still on, and now I'm on Pistonheads trying to entertain myself! fking stE!

Prompted by the above posts, though in reverse I suppose, I liked Dead Man and Ghost Dog so I just watched Broken Flowers on Prime.

It's really good. Not a thrill ride. Just someone prompted into a slightly odd course of action, and all the human weirdness and uncomfortable reunions it brings about. 8/10.

Just watched the Netflix exclusive "Due Over", a second exclusive I've watched with Adam Sandler.

What a brilliantly silly film with a nice story plot, laughed quite a lot all the way through. Definitely one to watch if you want a switch off and laugh film.

Fantastic 4 (2016)

Boring, zero emotion, action occurs on an alien world. Reminded me of Thor, not in a good way.

3/10

Hopefully that last attempt at a FF film has put the bullet in the head of that franchise.

Just to add balance for anyone thinking of giving this a go.

It's called 'The Do-Over', and whilst not as bad as the utterly dreadful Sandler exclusive 'The Ridiculous 6' it's still painfully st. Unless you think Sandler's recent output (such as Jack and Jill...) is funny I'd recommend giving it a wide berth.

thanks for the balance, I had assumed PH XKR was on serious medication, hinted at by not knowing the name of the film he was reviewing, confirmed by liking anything that talent-free-zone Sandler is ruining

I posted from my phone, do over, due over, either way great film. Just for balance, the above two probably have a copy of 2001:Space Odyssey wrapped in protective film and consider it a 11/10 film!

Look, Do-over was a fun slapstick type humour film, you either like Sandler or you don't, I do but then I don't like 2001 (biggest PoS I've watched).

Day of the Jackal

Well paced old style thriller.

till the last 5 minutes, then it felt rushed and the editing fell apart badly almost ruining it, feels like there's a good 5 to 10 minutes missing there.

EDIT

it won a BAFTA, and was Oscar nominated for its editing

Amazons version must be an modified post release edition?

Adam Sandler fan vs 2001 a space odyssey fan, well who's judgment do I trust!?
One celebrated as one of the greatest most influential of all time and the sci fi flick.. Hoho

Fox had to make it by this year otherwise the rights would have reverted to Marvel.

Indeed, and it was even more lacklustre than the old one. Hopefully they will learn that they cannot do this franchise justice.

Xmen - apocalypse. Quite enjoyed it, Quicksilver steals the show again.

Up until I watched 2001 the other week I'd have agreed but 2001 is utterly st, I mean stinky ste.
