Films I watched this week

[48Valves]

Jason Bourn. 6/10. A bit meh. Complete let down after the previous films.

The Nice Guys. 8/10. quite funny and good entertainment. Daft in places but I like that.

Avengers Civil War. 6/10. I've enjoyed the other Avengers films but this one, I just didn't. The special effects at times were poor.

Edge of Darkness
Mad Max
Mad Max 2

Mel Gibson...legend.

Went to see "The Beatles - 8 days a week" at the lovely Everyman cinema in Bristol today.
Thoroughly pleasurable experience. Not much in it for you if you dont like the Beatles but I really enjoyed it.
Very limited showings but worth seeing at the cinema - not sure it will translate to the small screen.
Oh and the 30 mins of concert after the credits was v good.

The Magnificent Seven

Just about to start on Sky.

I predict a Great Movie score of 7/7

I tried but gave up, never been a fan of old westerns and this hasn't changed my mind.

Great film.

Has anybody seen 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' yet? Mad kiwi comedy thing set in 1984 about a fat kid and his new foster parents. Really good review by Kermode and the trailer looks great

Watching it now, it's brilliant (it's up in the usual places)

By the same guy that made What we do in the shadows

Watched it last night. Loved it.

Simple, funny, wonderfully written and beautifully shot. Loved the soundtrack as well. Bonus of a brilliant cameo from Rhys Darby.

9/10

Ghostbusters

The polar opposite of the above. Overblown, unfunny and too much iffy CGI. I get a feeling the all female cast was a decision made just so anyone with a negative view could be branded a misogynist. Would have been equally awful had it been men, which is basically exactly what Pixels was.

3/10

Edited by SWoll on Saturday 24th September 11:42

Lasted 10 minutes of the new ghostbusters then watched the original. No comparison.

Just watched Prometheus again on film 4 , absolutely outstanding IMO . Can't wait for next year's follow up & Alien 5 as well . Sci Fi heaven .

[Digger]

Scientology: Going Clear. . .

Just started on Sky Atlantic. Admittedly a documentary rather than a film.

It's the only topic where I have to check I have accidental damage coverage for my TV as Scientologists really are a bunch of loons.

Sorry Mr Cruise and Travolta. You're both weird

I've not seen either, Inside Llewyn Davis or Hail, Caesar!
After The Big Lebowski the only ones I would like to watch again are True Grit, No Country For Old Men (their best post 2,000 piece for me) and maybe The Ladykillers.

If Intolerable Cruelty, The Man Who Wasn't There or O Brother, Where Art Thou? were on telly and I was in, then I'd give them a viewing to refresh my memory.

You have missed millers crossing from your post please edit it.


Anyway

knight and day tonight. Very fun film. Cruse certainly makes entertains stuff. 8/10

YOu giving me the high hat?

A more accurate way of typing it would be post-Lebowski. I think the pre-2,000 stuff is all sublime. Though I am in no rush to review Barton Fink.
I love Miller's Crossing

[lordstig]

Our Kind Of Traitor . It's no Night Manager but it's still good.

Finding Dory - wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this as I thought the trailer was a bit meh but it's superb as good as Nemo I thought.
9.9/11

[Captain Smerc]

Prometheus

Nope , still enjoyed it . The Thinking mans Sci Fi horror I would say . Think H R Giger would have been well pleased .
