Films I watched this week
Discussion
Inferno.
I don't know how to rate it. It's one of those rare times, for me, where I've actually bothered to read a book and it happened to be made into a movie. As a standalone, the movie is fine, has action, a twist or two and a solid story. As a representation of the book it was appalling, but what can you expect in two hours?
Disappointed/10.

If they hadn't COMPLETELY changed the ending I would've enjoyed it more. I don't know how to rate it.

Point Break...
...anyone else? I love extreme sports and this is over flowing with action footage, but I'm not sure if its just me being grumpy or if its 90% cobblers?!
I've tried twice to get through it now.
It's terrible, no charisma from any of the cast. ...anyone else? I love extreme sports and this is over flowing with action footage, but I'm not sure if its just me being grumpy or if its 90% cobblers?!

Cop out as far as I'm concerned so they can do more movies in that 'universe' without any need to include this in it.

Switched off when "base-jumping from the peak of Everest" was mentioned.
FFS.

Dreadful remake. I quite like the actor who played the bodhi character but they really did pick someone more wooden than Keanu for Johnny Utah and that takes some doing. The original is much more engaging....anyone else? I love extreme sports and this is over flowing with action footage, but I'm not sure if its just me being grumpy or if its 90% cobblers?!

Saw Sully this week, good film, even if the CG of the plane going into the water was a bit iffy.
Going to the Odeon's Screen Unseen tomorrow night, from the comments on the clues they've put of Facetwit, it's probably A Monster Calls, or it might be maybe just might be Passengers. I'm fine either way with those two.

Watched Hell or High Water last night. 9/10 from me, really enjoyed it, Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster and Chris Pine all put in some great acting. Similar feel to "No country for old men"
Same cant be said of the sci-fi/drama called "arrival" Complete load of toss.

I watched this over the weekend, and thought that it was good, but I'm buggered if I can understand a word Jeff Bridges says most of the time...it was one of those 'mumbly' American movies that I find better to watch with subtitlesI watched Filth (2013) over the weekend.
For some reason, I have avoided it in the past, but I thought it was superb. It features a brilliant and totally believable performance from James McAvoy as a hedonistic cop who descends gradually further into depravity and madness. It also has a great supporting cast.
A 10/10 from me.

Only thing wrong with what you said is the fact it is 100% Cobblers. The original has already been remade once and called The Fast and the Furious, it really didn't need remaking again. ...anyone else?

'toss' is a bit harsh; I enjoyed it but I do think it's been way overhyped. Same cant be said of the sci-fi/drama called "arrival" Complete load of toss.
Agree completely with Hell or High Water though; my favourite film of 2016 along with Eye in the Sky.
