Watched Creed last night and other than essentially being a remake, the same which could have been said of TFA, I thought it was an enjoyable way to kill a couple of hours and to be honest the actual fight scenes were pretty good.
 
Watched The Shallows last night. Was hoping for a modern take on Jaws, buy no of course like every new film it's just nonsense. I won't spoil it but the end shark death scene is particularly ridiculous.
 
Just finished watching Creed good show. Now watching The Revenant not sure what to expect.
 
Just watched the last bourne film....... i think they need to stop it now!
I was a bit dubious about the revenant but actually really enjoy it.

Is the Revenant based on fact? Most of the opening scenes seems pretty believable?

I haven't watched it all yet! Leo is getting his back stitched for the camera at min. I would be interested in reading the book?

Leo's Character if the Natives had finished him at the time the story wouldn't have survived.

"The Revenant; a novel of revenge" was the book about it... i looked in to it but never got around to doing anything about it.

I am watching the remaining of the movie now! It really is interesting about how the Native American tried to defend their land from Invaders.
 
The Martian
Surprisingly good! I usually dislike critics choices, but it was really well shot, had a real sense of jeopardy and for a fantastical made up mars mission film actually had a real sense of reality. Highly recommended.
 
Watched the girl with all the gifts. It's a zombie film not some gay as **** chick flick, honest!

It's ok, it reminds me of the book "I am legend" not the bastardisation that Will Smith was in. It's not your typical Holywood film, few major plot holes and a serious lack of female nudity, but then it is a zombie movie so you gotta accept that. If you like Zombie films it may be worth a look, slightly different take on it all.
 
Just watched Waffle Street on Netflix, pretty good way to kill 90 minutes. About an ex banker turned waiter turned financial advisor based on a true story.
 
Ive just watched independence day resurgence and i have to say if you want to watch a really good film, i strongly recommend ......you dont watch that pile of dog ****! :lol:
 
Oldies but goldies...

Last night I watched Breakfast Club, but as that was on it reminded me of another 80s classic - Weird Science.

Tonight I put it on and remembered how much I loved that film. Plus Kelly LeBrock has to have been the most beautiful woman in the world at that point. Perfection 8)

Wierd science, brilliant film! And hell yes kelly lebrock :D
 
Just started watching The Hateful Eight I hope it improves! I am a big fan of Tarantino but it's not doing it for me at the min. Maybe I am over analzing it :)
 
Bought and watched Deadpool at the weekend. Bloody loved it, very funny and gritty, a bit different for a Marvel film. Mental special effects and got the blu ray, this film's got to be seen in HD.

I really enjoyed The Hateful Eight, classic Tarantino. Thought Kurt Russel was brilliant and I loved the way it was shot and the music and everything. Top marks for me that one :)
 
Having never seen them before I made the interesting choice of watching The Da-Vinci code and Angels and Demons back to back.. yeah, madness, yeah I was tired, no I won't be heading to the cinema to watch Inferno...
 
I've heard Mark Kermode absolutely panned Inferno. Apparently it is utter utter utter *****, and dull ***** at that. Who would have known lol.
 
Just watched stepbrothers its great for a laugh. Anything Will Ferrell is in always gives me a good few hrs entertainment.

Absolutely love Step Brothers! Boats and ho's! :lol: Also a big fan of The Other Guys- a very under rated film.

Or blades of glory "The Iron Lotus " :lol: :lol:
 
Last night I saw The Accountant at the cinema.
I was pretty much forcibly taken to see it, I have no love for Mr Affleck and it just seemed on the surface to be utter bobbins, BUT, it was actually really, really good! It was clever, funny, well acted, full of great references to other films of the genre. It sympathetically and responsibly (to some degree) covered the Autism issues of the character and the family dynamic around him. I left in shock actually at how good it really was... even Afleck was decent and oddly believable.

Seriously that is great advice! just wish I had read it before watching it, what a total & utter pile of crapola

Deadpool was ace & I enjoyed suicide squad.

Sausage Party was good for a giggle too
 
A trip to Hong Kong meant catching up on stuff I'd missed.

Let's start with the best thing I watched - Zootropolis. Amazeballs. Up there with The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Inside Out. Totally nailed the plot, story, voices, deals with very contemporary issues, and that very last scene (when the car window goes down) made me laugh out loud on the crowded plane.'

Batman vs Superman. Admittedly not as horrendous as I thought it was gonna be, but still massive step backwards for Batman after Nolan.

The Nice Guys. Started off with promise, but felt like there was too much improv going on that they kept in, and got sillier as the movie went along. Not terrible though.

Independence Day 2 was a serious let down. I was hoping it was going to be so bad it was good like the first, but it just totally missed the mark. Where the first was just the right side of things moving too fast, this felt like it was trying to cram too much into a short space. Not having Will Smith definitely hurt it too.
 
Just seen the Arrival. Pretty good. Quite different. One of those you need to think about. I came out of it and would have happily gone back in to watch it again. Sounds a bit weird but i reckon you'd understand it more if you watched it twice, not that it's massively complex. It's just one of those films.
 
Just (yes I woke early and nothing on TV) watched:

- The Intern

Its a pretty sugar sweet feel good(ish) movie... staring Robert De Nero and Anne Hathaway. I'd seen it on the SKY planner for months and pretty much avoided it, because I expected it to be part cringe, part throw up in my own mouth due to the expected sickly sweet content, but actually it was a pretty heart warming, softly told tale of nothing more complex than life.
