See No Evil, Hear No Evil - 8/10. Very funny. 
 

[Scott_M]

The Gentlemen 4/10. 
 

A couple of amusing one liners but mainly just annoying, smarmy cockneys thinking they are cleverer & funnier than they actually are. Also has a very excessive use of the word cunt, although pronounced caaaaaaaaaaaant. 
 

When Colin Farrell is the best thing in it, you know it’s not great.

The Iceman. Mentioned on here a few pages back so I’ve given it a go. True story about a mafia hitman. 7.5/10 

 

well worth a watch. 

Casting David Schwimmer as a hit man is a crime against cinema.

"Hell or High Water"

 

Terrible title for a very good movie.

 

Slow, simple story, perfectly executed, IMO.

 

Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine are good, but the best performance is from someone called Ben Foster (not that Ben Foster).

 

9 of 10

The iceman is not a true story. It's based upon Richard Kuklinskys fantasies. He definitely killed some people but 90 percent of his story is garbage.  Not seem the film though it might be good.

Extraction- thin plot but superb action scenes- 7/10

 

The Platform- an interesting premise that loses its way a bit- 6/10

I have heard mafia members and informers say this too. Cold fucker nevertheless.

Yeah the idea Roy DeMeo was paying him 50 grand to kill people when Roy Demeo and his crew killed hundreds of people and chopped them up in their club makes no sense. People who knew Demeo say there's no way in a million years he'd pay somebody. 

[Duff Man]

The Invisible Man (new one) - a little bit long, and quite silly toward the end, but still a decent thriller for the most part. Elisabeth Moss is really good, too. 7/10

Have seen this since probably around when it came out, I remember the main lady in it being proper fit. I'm not going to check incase I get disappointed.

He's even better in 3:10 to Yuma. Great actor.

Knives out. Tv film at best.

[mattyq]

Silverlinings Playbook

What a great film!

Seen it before but enjoyed it just as much this time round

Jennifer Lawrence is properly great and fit as fuck in it

8.5/10

Howl’s Moving Castle this Friday gone.

Top stuff again. Bit of an anti-war message in this one too, which is always good. Christian Bale and Billy Crystal were doing some of the dubbed voices which is a trifle strange.

8/10

Attack of the Clones - unwatchable. My daughter had this on last night and I just couldn’t cope with whatsisface as Anakin. Truly awful performance. Wooden barely touches it. Plus it’s slow as fuck in places too. Gave it half an hour and fucked it off because it was pissing me off so much. Awful.

Stick in Adam Driver as Anakin, get rid of Jar Jar Binks and some of the crapper CGI, polish up the dialogue a bit(lot) and the prequels would be so much better. At least the story arc makes sense anyway - not like the new three.

[Jose Jones]

Speaking of Adam Driver... Also watched Logan Lucky with the missus  last night.

Channing Tatum and yer man play two southern brothers planning on robbing a racetrack during a NASCAR race, with help from Daniel Craig’s Joey Bangs.

 

Obvious parallels to Soderbergh’s Ocean’s 11, it’s not as fun, but the heist scenes are ok. Lots of Southern mumbling.

6/10

Kevin Spacey you mean? Each to their own!

Beastie Boys Story 9/10.

 

Not their biggest fan, although I do really like some of their stuff, but I really, really enjoyed this. 
 

Great story, heartfelt and poignant

Darth Mahogany for Darth Emo.

 

Hell of a choice. 

[RedKnight]

21 Bridges - Chadwick Boseman as a New York cop investigating the shooting of 8 police officers. It's a B-movie with good actors, very formulaic and predictable but Boseman is good in the lead role, it's a tight 100 minutes and you're left feeling quite satisfied. Perfect late-night Saturday night film. 6 out of 10

He’s brilliant in Leave no Trace as well which incidentally is also a very good film
