I thought the lass who plays Sansa Stark was atrocious.

 

 

She's like a plank of wood in GoT so I guess the girl's consistent if nothing else

[Torvald Utne]

Olivia munn in spandex you say...

If there are complaints over an OSCAR winners accents earlier in this thread, they'd bests not watch this.

The Infiltrator - 7.5/10. Enjoyed this.

 

Watched this based on recommendation, have to agree.  Not quite brilliant, but very enjoyable, agree with the 7.5 rating.

[A Red]

The Help - 7/10 - Worth a watch

[Carvalho Diablo]

War Horse.

 

Spielberg / Williams / Shergar win the war in this reet canny ripping yarn.

 

7 hooves outta 10

 

Watched on Kodi.

I think it was about 20 minutes too long.

Lights Out- usual formulaic pg-13 horror shite- 4/10.

[Hades]

La Belle et la Bête (1946) 9.5/10

 

Watched on Youtube. Sheer poetry. Modern fantasy and fairytales are a bad joke compared to this.

[Scott_M]

Trust me don't go back for the rest of it, it's utter shite, and this is from someone like yourself who liked the other four films....

 

I went back and finished it. I shouldn't have bothered. Boring.

 

3.5/10.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

 

I love this movie. There, I said it.  I could and have watched it tens of times and am already looking forward to watching it again.

 

What's so good about it?  I honestly can not tell you, but I love it every time.  I find humour and relevance in dialogue that once sounded corny and also think the music/score in the prequels is underrated

 

I really enjoy the understated performance of Ewan McGregor in this episode.  He was very underwhelming in Episode I, but after that he quietly does a pretty good job of Obi-Wan's back story in Episodes II and III.  By the end of Sith you're left in no doubt as to his influence and all round kick ass brilliance.  Ewan McGregor makes the most of what he has to work with.  His battles with Jango Fett and General Grievous are virtuoso Star Wars, scenes I will always revisit.  The thing I enjoy most about the prequels is that they don't just tell the story of Anakin/Darth Vader. 

 

As for Anakin, I think he does alright in this movie. He has some decent lines.  I don't know what Lucas was going for with him, maybe it was bring home the adolescent side of Luke in Episode IV and he overcompensated with Anakin's constant protestations and tantrums. I don't really have a problem with it, he was destined to be Darth Vader and mirrored Luke's immaturity so it's no surprise that he's a bit annoying.  Are we supposed to like him?   Overall I find his portrayal of young Vader being seduced to the dark side as satisfactory, as far as this episode is concerned.

 

The backdrop of action scenes and peripheral Star Wars universe eye-candy carry the film along.  

 

You stupid little asterodroids.

 

8/10

Repped for effort. That is all.

[Lee909]

Nooooooooooooo

[Mook]

I think the third one is fine too, the other two prequels are utter dogshit but that one does the job for me.

 

When I show Star Wars to my son, I'll start with that one & work through from there.

[Total Longo]

Those poor younglings.... 

[Fowlers God]

The Joker on sky at the minute.

 

Superbly written and directed- a switch up on the cop genre and brilliantly executed

Not an expert on these movies, but doesn't that give away the "I'm yer da" twist from Empire?

That's a good point, I'll need to watch it again & check.

 

I'm guessing he'll be about 5 when I start showing him stuff like Star Wars & Driller Killer so he might not pick up on it anyway.

[Scott_M]

I've also repped TK421 for the effort. I don't agree, I think it's the most disappointing of the 3 (not the worst, there is a difference) but I admire the passion.

 

It's like saying Be Here Now is your favourite Oasis album.

[manwiththestick]

The Shallows. An Oscar worthy performance from Blake Lively's arse in an otherwise run of the mill stranded survival film. 6/10.

[skend04]

Deepwater Horizon - pretty good. 7.5/10

[magicrat]

Deepwater Horizon - pretty good. 7.5/10

Saw it  on Imax,  6/10 

Fucking noisy and shit dialogue which was in-decipherable for the most part 

Just about kept my interest with some great screenplay but definitely one of those films I wouldn't be arsed watching it on the box

Hate all that American high -fiving wise cracking ,good buddy shit, Do people really all talk like that in real life.?

[Special K]

The Nice Guys - 7.5/10

 

Some proper laugh out loud moments and good performances. not quite up to Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang standard (what is?) but totally worth 2 hours of anyone's time
