Thanksgiving - 7/10

 

As far as slashers go, this is a good one. Doesn't take itself too seriously, likeable characters and a decent whodunnit.

Really? How does he know Santa doesn’t exist? I know they say kids grow up quickly nowadays, but fuck me, that seems harsh.

 

Some of my fondest memories are of being a kid at Christmastime.

Christmas week is fun. Rest of it isn't Christmas so enjoy everything as if it isn't Christmas.

Christmas is a humongous pile of overrated expensive shite, an absolute pox on it.

Booooooo.

Now that is true. I was told by my HR manager I had to spend less time at the office or I would get hammered on tax, I chose Fridays and Mondays to stay away.

Barbie. 
 

It was entertaining enough. 
 

The future Mrs Yorkshire Red did a nice job in the main role. 
 

7/10.

I watched it with my daughter a few weeks back. It was significantly better than I expected.

Reminiscence 4/10.

 

Hugh Jackman & Thandie Newton help people remember memories in a post-war / earth disaster future. A diet Minority Report crossed with some shite love story, which given it’s about Rebecca Ferguson, is understandable and gives it an extra point.

Indiana Jones Dial Of Destiny - 5/10.

 

I went to the cinema and watched this and really enjoyed it up until the ridiculous time travel ending, which I thought ruined an otherwise decent film.

 

I watched it again the other night and still feel exactly the same. It’s a perfectly good film up until the eels bit where it starts to wobble, continues to wobble through the caves bit, both of which could have been redeemed / forgotten about if the ending wasn’t so utterly shit. Even though I knew what was coming I still rolled my eyes in apathy. 
 

The lad who plays Teddy reminds me of Luis Diaz. 

[Red74]

The Popes exorcist.

 

I wasn’t expecting great things from this as I’m not a fan of horror films but I like big Russ and thought I’d give it a go. 
 

Fuck me what a load of shite. Made even worse after finding out that it was Chris “Finchy” Finch doing the terrible voice of the demon in the style of Ian Drury and not the Ian Drury soundalike Andy Serkis.

Christmas is boss.

*****mas is fine if you're a fucking woman or under 15.

 

Otherwise it should be fucked off forever. An absolutely cunt of a time of year.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I love Christmas. Time off work, plenty of booze and munchies, parties and randy birds, new stuff to play with.

 

Apart from the miserable fucking cold, count me in.

[Section_31]

Uncharted, 8/10, really good, old-fashioned fun. Very much captures the spirit of the games. More of this kind of old school please.

[redheart]

Expendables 4...an insult to all direct to video movies.

 

Utter shite without any redeeming feature

 

Megan Fox now looks like a tranny

Triple Frontier - 7/10 it's a good little movie that. 

 

Yep, maybe even 7.5.

 

Another good flick from J. C. Chandor, after Margin Call, All Is Lost and A Violent Year. All four though not spectacular, significantly beat my expectations. Directed with a steady hand, makes all the right storytelling choices, nothing stands out as unnecessarily flashy, stupid or annoying. He's one dependable filmmaker.

The Equalizer/The Equalizer 2. Much better than expected. Unreal this is the first time Denzel has featured in a movie plus a sequel.

 

8/10

7.5/10

 

Looking forward to the third...

[ZonkoVille77]

I haven't seen many films lately, too fucking busy with work. So I sat down and the missus decides we should watch a Christmas film. I want to smash the TV. Don't watch this muck. "Catering Christmas". 1/10. The 1 is because I'd welly that lead actress.

Percy vs Goliath 

 

Christopher Walken is a farmer who decides to take on a giant agricultural corporation regarding a seed he is accused of stealing from them. Decent film this & as usual Walken is great. 7/10.

 

Watched on Freevee via my Firestick.

Yup, saw that a while ago and really enjoyed it.

 

Neil Young - The Monsanto Years...same thing, same story.

[polymerpunkah]

In honour of Kissinger's passing:

 

"The Killing Fields"

 

Story of the relationship between two journalists set in war-torn 1970s Cambodia.

 

 

It's a fantastic film.

 

10/10

She's not aesthetically pleasing and her back doors won’t shut properly?

8 mile

Rewatch 

Criminally underrated film

Eminem is basically playing himself but he is outstanding in it.

8/10

[cochyn]

It was Leeds International Film Festival last month. Only got to see one film: Hundreds of Beavers! No ladyparts in it, just a bonkers film with some proper belly-laugh moments. Makes a refreshing change from the earnestness that's seemingly everywhere at the moment:

 

 

8.62/10

 

It's out on general release next spring I think. Go watch t!

[DalyanPete]

Transporter. 2/10.

Last week I watched my first Statham film, this week I watched my last Statham film. I can only assume The Mechanic was good as it was a remake. 

 

However, onto the main event. 

Miracle on 34th Street. 8/10. Excellent true story about Kris Kringles struggles to get @Creator Supreme and others to believe he really does exist and makes children all over the world happy.

I BELIEVE, especially as it was proven in a court of law. What's not to like about Christmas?

[Anubis]

Scream VI - 4/10. Late to this one, and very much the law of diminishing returns. I and II were ace and were love letters to the genre that weren't afraid to poke fun at it. What I will give VI is that I really liked the pre-credit sequence which certainly played with audience expectations  and tried to do something a bit different with the usual opening. But that really was the high point.
