31 is shite like. I really liked Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses as well.

Judging by the sound of the films you watch I will minus 10 from all your reviews!

Mark Wahlberg's best performance was in Ted.

Didn't he win an Oscar for The Departed?

Whatever, it should still be Boogie Nights.

[Paco]

Get Out - pretty good. Like a modern day rosemarys baby.

[Boss]

Sleepwalkers.

 

That's the one. Thank you.

2001: A Space Odyssey - I've fallen asleep in this film more than any other, but I think I finally get it on the third viewing. The imagery and effects still hold up well.

OK, i've never quite got the ending - he travels through some mad Dr Who style tunnel for about 20 minutes, ends up all aged in some regency style bedroom where the obelisk is, and then a baby is in space.

 

And this means??? 

[SasaS]

I don't think you are supposed to "decode" it, it can refer to Nietzche and eternal recurrence, or cyclical nature of life, or wormhole and time and space continuum... it's supposed to be a mystery open to interpretation.

It's probably bollocks, but the way I read it, the obelisk transports him through space and time to a point where both no longer conform to our laws and time is no longer a linear, hence why he can see himself aged, and then he's the older version of himself, for a moment seemingly inhabiting both positions. It will happen, so it has happened. I assumed the regency styling of the room was just what was considered fashionable in the future, as the floor is still made of light panels. The baby is his rebirth, now that time and space no longer constrain him, he's transcended to something else.

 

Still not sure why HAL malfunctioned though.

 

Anyone else hungry?

I thought the styling of the room was the way the monolith envisaged his room would look, that's why it's slightly unnerving and there's something off about it. When Dave points at the monolith i'm pretty sure that's meant to symbolise the painting of god and Adam in the Sistine Chapel. It's a metaphor for Dave being the first person to populate the planet (the child floating in space) and the monolith being god itself.

That's a lot better than the majority of nonsense i've read previously about the ending, to be fair.

The monolith is the spark for intelligent life.

HAL malfunctioned because of an intervention by the omnipotent monolith, which is Kubrick's interpretation of Clive Sinclair.

Still Ted for me.

[Mendoza]

Gifted- like the kind of film they used to show on Channel Five in the afternoon, but with a better cast- 4/10.

[Juniper]

Nominated, didn't win though.

[cloggypop]

Jawbone. 7 out of 10. It's like Ken Loach made a Rocky film.

[Paul]

Logan - 8/10. Great premise, looks great, good action scenes & a satisfying way for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine to bow out. And yet I was still a little disappointed. I thought it had 10/10 potential but it left a couple of bits undercooked and the pacing was variable.

[Sut]

Saw Logan for the first time last night. Felt pretty much the same about it. Much better than the other two though. Great to see Eric La Salle.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Baby Driver.

 

Loved it.

 

Decent and watchable cam copy on Kodi.

[Ted]

Spider-Man: Homecoming - 8.5/10. Bloody good fun. Up there with Winter Soldier as one of Marvel's best.

[Red74]

Baby Driver. Really good film. Drove over to the Vue cinema in Cheshire oaks for a change of scenery and gotta say, the VIP section pisses all over the odeon's premier seats. The seats were amazing and the sound was incredible.

 

8/10 Michael Myers masks for the film

10/10 for the pics

[VladimirIlyich]

Do they actually make any films for grown ups any more? Don't get me wrong some of that animated ones are superb but what happened to spy films,fim noir,great comedies,superb thrillers and crime films? I've just started to avoid English speaking films as they are so samey and unoriginal.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Escape Plan. 6.5/10. Not great, but not bad either. 

 

Northmen - A Viking Saga 6/10. See above. 

[Pureblood]

Yep.

Seen a trailer last night for a film called Atomic Blonde that looks like it ticks a few of those boxes
