Last film you watched and your rating: The Directors Cut

The very final scene. Which I don't think anyone else in the cinema got....

The leading lady was very good too. Good to see she is picking good roles after last year's The Witch.

Ohh, yes I know what you mean now. Didn't really get the point of it though to be honest.

A Shyamalan film gets a 10/10? :shock:

His best since unbreakable

I'm not going to rant...

Ends up singing The Internationale, and calls the characters "imperialist American pig-dogs".

Gone Girl - 10/10.

Really loved that, not sure it's as clever as it thinks it is but had me gripped throughout.

La La Land.

The last ten minutes. Much like Whiplash, Chazelle is making the best ending sequences in modern Hollywood. The finale number did a real number on me. Rest of the film was good too.

I've tried to watch that twice now, the second time last night, and it just makes me feel so uncomfortable I gave up. Obviously it's doing well for a film to effect me that much, but the desire to do something else so I could escape was overwhelming. Due to this I am now addicted to cities skylines.

Nerve - 3/10
I decent idea but execution is horrible, unrealistic, and the film is full of annoying teens. I almost turned it off when the dare was get to 60mph blindfolded (I would have just got in a taxi). He has a motorbike which should be able to get to 60mph in 3 seconds but instead he takes about 5 minutes along busy roads and swerving through traffic blindfolded likes he's suddenly Neo.
There's also countless annoying plotholes.

A much better film with similar idea is '13:Game of Death'.

If you haven't seen it you may want to watch Intacto.

Cheers, I will check it out.

What Doesn't Kill You - 6/10

Thought this was fairly decent. Nothing remarkable, but told an interesting enough story. Mark Ruffalo, who I generally like, was probably the best thing about it, along with the feeling of bleakness/despair and the lose-lose situations that a lot of people can find themselves in.

La la land.

Superb. 8.5/10.

Great tunes, great leads and makes reference to the old musicals but has its own take on them. Really loved it.

Great chemistry between Gosling and Stone.

Sing - 1/5

Terrible animated movie. Utterly charmless and without a single memorable moment or song. It has an average at best final 10 minutes but the rest is a without a laugh or smile.

Nearly walked out due to being so very bored.

Even the German pig doesn't get any lines of comedy. The writers seem to think, he is a pig, he is German, well that'll make people laugh.

Also Cineworld showed a trailer for Sing before Sing started. Which actually damaged the movie as all the best bits were on the trailer.

10 Cloverfield Lane.

Tense, riveting and superbly acted, especially by a wonderful John Goodman.....

That ending, strawberry float off! :lol:

5/10.

The Vanishing (1988)
Someone here recommended this a long time ago and so it'd been on my list for a while but I finally got around to watching it last night. Wow! I've not seen anything like it. The way it is structured keeps you guessing the whole way through. I'm still thinking about that ending, it's going to stick with me for a while I'm sure.
9/10

The full movie is on YouTube and is amazing. I watched it again a few days ago. That ending is as good as it gets. Just so chilling.

It was remade in the USA from what I know they changed the ending.

Toy Story 1-3

8,7,8/10

Kill Bill Vol.1 & Vol.2 - 8/10

It was great to watch both again and some things I have forgotten about it.

Zero Dark Thirty - 8/10

I enjoyed it despite a lot of talking and tracking where to find Bin Laden.

Spectral - 7/10

It was something different from any normal army films and I liked it.

~~Nothing~~ Midnight Special - fairly average ET type sci-fi thriller. Could have really done with 30 minutes of story build up but still watchable. 5

Man Up - fairly amusing. 6
