Do make sure you go see THE HATEFUL EIGHT. It is excellent. Bigger screen = better.

The Hateful Eight.

Seen this a few days ago, look past the blood and guts and it becomes a lame story. Could have been told in 75 mins tops.

what a fucking waste of time

Cheap thrills, my new favorite movie.

yes!
gnarly.

I enjoyed The Hateful 8. The dialogue was awesome enough I didn't notice the length and the over top gore was the icing on the cake. It's Tarantino, what do you expect?


Saw 10 Cloverfield Lane last night. Really good film. I went into it knowing very little about it and it was very enjoyable. 8/10

Legends. Action/drama interpretation of the Kray brothers.

Excellent flick 10/10, great actors and story, gets bit sad halfway through though....

[R650R]

Also highly recommended and emtnion above, Kajaki two zero, Everest quite good.
Knock Knock with Keanu Reeves was utterlky crap story, barely watchable, bearable by the inclusion of two female hotties. Don't waste your money.
Into the Grizzly Maze was ok but could have done more with it....
The Martian ok, didn't watch all the way to end, distracted by a woman and long night lol
She's funny That Way was alright

Siberian Education. Excellent tale of two different paths through life, and keeping your dignity....

You were probably hearing and not listening.

Everybody knew very little before went and watched. The producers intentionally released a vague trailer and kept mouth shut about the story, making the audience quizzical (all or nothing marketing if you ask me). Then when people went to watch it... BAM!

Highly enjoyed it. A well executed mind-stirring thriller. Kept me on the edge of the seat throughout the film, didn't know what to expect minute by minute.

9/10

Get a pen and paper handy!

If you enjoy listening to yuppies yelling and screaming for an hour and a half: give yourself 10 points (if not, you start with 0)

-now- for each of the following things you also enjoy, SUBTRACT one point

- a plot
- intelligent characters developed rationally
- thoughtful and well executed cinematography
- respectable lighting
- well choreographed cq fight scenes
- zombies being shot, car chases, explosions
- not having to have earmuffs on standby for when female characters come on screen
- T & A
- visual effects
- not hearing the words "lets split up" in this 'genre'
- relevant soundtracks that aren't from stock archives
- your dignity


now, if you somehow ended up with a non-zero and non-negative number, I can direct you to the movie "Underground (2011)"

I score it 2/10, which is one point for each minute of this movie that's worth watching. truly more than it deserves.



The Raid 1:
accept that it's a kung-fu and we'll all get along fine. It's brutal without being gratuitous. 7/10

Underworld? All I enjoyed watching was Kate Bekinsale's sex scene.

GRIMSBY

We went out to see HAIL CAESAR and they had yanked it for some Bollywood thing. Since we were there we went to this which was the next film starting.

I have seen and enjoyed BORAT, DA ALI G MOVIE, and THE DICTATOR.

This is more of the same. It will appeal to the inner 11 year old boy in all of us. a LOT of fart and bum and pooze and weez and dick jokes. A

Poor old Mark Strong, a trooper throughout. I loathe that Rebbbbel Wilson but played true to type (a fat slag) in this.

Isla Fisher (Mrs Borat) cor Missus. Would.

For what it was: 8/10 (could have used some boobies) As an actual movie: 3/10

[HenryDorsetCase]

Underworld? All I enjoyed watching was Kate Bekinsale's sex scene.

and Bill Nighy is watchable in pretty much anything. Even that thing with the thing about the thing. something christmas ageing rocker.

Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice

DC Universe's answer to Marvel Studio. 4 points for Zack Snyder, 4 points for Hans, and 1 point for Batman.

9/10

But seriously, music alone is worth it.

[sil3nt]

Zach Snyder 3/10
Batfleck 9/10
SuperCavill 9/10
Wonder Gadot 10/10
Lex Lutherberg 1/10

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 6.5/10

Enjoyable but frustrating. Unfortunately they have given Snyder a few more of these to ruin.

[mashman]

Deadpool. Enough funny, action, tatties etc... for an 8.5/10....... but it loses a few for the crap bad guys and extra good guys. 6/10.
