Life - 6/10

Mildly enjoyable with a couple of nicely horrifying scenes (Deadpool getting his insides liquefied. :dread:). I can't stand scientific inaccuracy in space films though. Any other genre I can forgive, but not in space. Drifting slowly away from something in orbit does not mean you're lost forever. In a few hours you'll move back to the thing you drifted away from. It's really not hard to check these things. Not as bad as Gravity though, at least this film is half decent aside from the mistakes it made.

Yeah but don't you need a fire extinguisher?

That’s office chair science not space science.

In space you just make a small hole in one of the fingers of your space suit and the air will rush out propelling you in any direction you point your finger away from.

I tried to watch Knock Knock and the acting was so rubbish but I'm gonna give it another try :lol:

Any reasons why the son in the film disses his dad as the kids drive off I'm sure I heard him tell Keanue to get a haircut! :slol:

That's what made the movie so funny to watch. The acting and dialogue was all over the place.

The whole plot was all over the place, IIRC there was about 10 points where Keanu could have escaped or warned other. And two slight girls overpowered various men. And their reasoning for doing all of it to Keanu made no sense.

Sounds like the sort of thing my mate would genuinely like, he seems to be blind to issues like that. He got us to watch Deja vu last night since he was raving about it. Now there's a film that doesn't make any sense, and I love the idea of time travel movies.

Passengers - 7/10

Thought this was alright, it's no classic but was entertaining and Jennifer Lawrence does funny things to my wee willy winky.

It was a bloody abrupt ending though, I guess they didn't want to age up the pretty stars.

Why didn't they use the medical pod in turns? One does a year, the other does a year and they spend a bit of time together in between. Sure they'd be strawberry floating old when they got to the planet, but they might actually have lived to see it.

How that monologue isn't already an internet meme I don't know. It blows "I drink your milkshake" from there will be blood out of the water :lol:


The bit with the inhaler guy as well had me in stitches as well. And the end of it.

That film could have been so good with better editing and a braver story, that didn't need to tick the "Hollywood happy ending" box where they fall in love. There's a great YouTube clip somewhere on how it could be re-edited, with a change to the sequencing, to improve the film.

Agreed, I was far more interested in the two being alone on a ship for 90 years than I was in explodey fusion bollocks.

Michael Sheen was excellent as well!

Passengers - Had low expectations of this as I'd heard a lot of negative things. But I really enjoyed the premise and the setting even though the execution was a little off. 8/10.

IT - 8/10

Quality, quality remake. I wouldn't say it was scary as such but Pennywise is cranked right up for the psychological scares, some of the imagery is just :dread: The casting of the kids was bang on, like Stranger Things good (the kid from it helped that). Funny, tender and down right mind bending, if you love 80's cinema go see.

I've heard this a lot - absolutely looking forward to this.

Who would have thought this would get such positive reviews.

Are the kids in IT really annoying? Or reasonably bearable?

The kids are brilliant, like I said Stranger Things good. If you enjoyed Stand By Me and Goonies you'll get on really well with this.
