They Live

 

Never seen this and not sure why, it's like an 80s Starship Troopers (in that it's a smart film enjoying being as dumb as it can be).  Blunt satire with dry humour, enjoyable action and tonnes of B-movie references.  This is more brazen than ST in how it goes full swing into the 50s style effects, but then Verhoeven had a whole new set of toys to play with by the time he made his.  Insane to think there's less than a decade between the two productions.

 

John Carpenter, fucking legend - 9/10.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Priest. 5/10.  Apocalyptic fantasy horror. Ninja Priests take on the new breed of Vampires. Could have been great if they had bothered, ended up being bang average on all accounts. 

 

Redemption. 8.5/10 Action thriller. If you are looking for your typical all action no sense action movie then look elsewhere. If you want to watch an action movie with believable story lines and characters then this one is for you, loved it.

There certainly is abundant enjoyment of that in They Live.

I,Tonya

 

Some chuckles, some rather nasty violence, mostly piss poor.

 

4/10 Kodi/Placenta

[Sweeney287]

Thor 8/10

 

Loved the comedy, didn't feel like it was taking itself too seriously.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Sin City, a Dame to kill for. 8.5/10

 

Probably only a 7 if truth be told, but extra marks for Eva Green's penchant for getting her tits out, Jessica Alba's moves on the stage and a whole load of sexy cleavage.

I used to love Pulp Fiction, but I just can't watch it now. I've tried a few times in recent years and I have to turn it off.

Why?

[Spy Bee]

I find it boring. I like watching films I have seen before when I am just looking to relax... I half watch and half mess about on the internet, but I feel compelled to turn it off.

Yep, really hit the spot.

Yeah, I do. In fact, I'm watching The Shawshank Redemption at the moment.

Daughter went to see Downsizing ( Mutt Damon ) with her mates , they walked out after half an hour,

It's only good under the influence. Like when you accidentally dance to Blur after eight pints.

[s(k)aturation]

I took the kids to see Paddington 2.

 

And I have to say it was terrifically enjoyable and entertaining.

Like much of his high-speed, witty-japed, over-scripted schlock.

 

Watchable on first inspection, dated and banal soon thereafter.

[SasaS]

Any of you fucking pricks say another word against Pulp Fiction  I'm gonna execute every mother fucking  last one of you.

The Open House

 

Seriously, just don't bother. Utter, unmitigated shite. I'm actually stunned at how absolutely shite the last 10 minutes were.

[RedKnight]

Ghost in the Shell - Live action of the famous anime series that I've never seen. Story felt authentically manga, from my limited experience, in that it seemed very slight in story and very heavy in the deeper themes like identity. It looked a lot like a Blade Runner rip-off, which might be unfair as I'm not exactly up on whether manga influenced the look of Blade Runner or vice versa, and it's music was certainly influenced by it. Kind of liked it but it didn't really grab me. Scarlett Johansson was good, she really should have her own movie as Black Widow, and she's a good action star, although there wasn't as much as action in this film as I thought. 5.5 out of 10.

The Post- well acted but dull- 5/10. 

[RedKnight]

John Wick Chapter 2 - More action with Keanu Reeves as a hitman who is the coolest bastard on the planet. Liked it a little less than the first but this was still great fun. Quality shoot-out scenes and fights plus the promise of another sequel. Both movies have been some of the best old school action movies of the last 20 years. 8.5 out of 10

 

Everybody wants some!! - Richard Linklater film about the start of the semester for a college baseball team over one weekend. Some really funny parts, some good parts and some slightly iffy gender politics as most of the women on-screen are just eye candy with the exception of one. That one looked familiar and it turns out it's Lea Thompson's daughter (Lorraine from Back to the Future) which weirded me out a little. Just a movie about a group of blokes fooling around for a few hours, it's a decent way to pass the time. 7.5 out of 10.

The Post

 

Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep star in this Washington Post expose of 2 decades of Vietnam War conspiracy and cover up.

 

Well acted by devoid of any excitement or drama.

 

6/10

[Mook]

I've not seen The Post but I have a wee chuckle to myself everytime I see the advert for it on the side of a bus...

 

"The unrivalled film of the year."

 

On 10th January.

Thor

 

7/10

 

The piss off ghost had me laughing.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down The Whitehouse.

 

Liam Neesom stars as the eponymous Deepthroat.

 

Interesting, informative, but Neesom is a truly fucking awful actor.

 

6.5/10
