The 6th Day (2000)
Arnie on form in a film about human cloning,funny in places with some great one liners typical of his early films. 8/10.

Don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but Bridge of spies (2015) is definitely worth viewing, it's based on the true account of the negotiations between Russia, East Germany and America for the release (exchange) of Gary Powers, detained in Russia, and a Russian spy held in America, also an American student who crossed over to East Germany just before the wall was complete.

Elysium (2013)
an okay sci/fi film with Jodie Foster and Matt Damon. 6.5/10.

 

[Gilly?]

Love Actually
It's hilarious, let's be honest. 8/10.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Not quite as good as the first one but still loads of fun. Elton John's cameo was absolutely superb. 7.5/10.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Girlhood- 6/10- Average coming of age film about a Parisian teenager who joins an all girl gang. Dragged a bit too much for my liking.

Went to watch The Disaster Artist. Plans with friends broke down so I went to the cinema on my lonesome for the first time, it was very good. I might never watch a film with friends or partners ever again. The film is brilliant and hilarious, James Franco is spot on with his Tommy Wisseau and it's a bizarre and fascinating story. Dave Franco never seems to be acting, but it didn't take much away from the movie.

Anatomy of a Murder [1959] - 8/10

The Last Jedi - 4/10

 

[Lance Stoe]

Blue Velvet- 7/10. Not the masterpiece some people say it is but still very good. Quite like David Lynch. Dennis Hopper was superb.

 

[silkyman]

Colossal - 8/10.

Weird little film where Anne Hathaway randomly discovers that she is inadvertently controlling a giant monster that is attacking Seoul every night.

Agreed. It's an interesting and atmospheric film, but not without its flaws; like most of Lynch's stuff.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Nerve- 7/10- Bit of a guilty pleasure this one. The ladder scene was terrifying

Dunkirk (2017)
what a crock of shit/10.

 

[claret50]

Paddington 2.

Thoroughly enjoyable family film with Hugh Bonneville in the main lead - still 2nd to Paddington though - I'd recommend making a few marmalade sandwiches and sit down with the family to watch this.

i have kept putting off watching that as i think the original is perfectly great and didn't need a remake.

I love the film with one of my fav actors John Mills it's a true classic. In the new film the beach is almost empty but there were well over 3,00,000 men waiting to be rescued. I was looking forward to watching the new one but it goes all over the place,the only good scenes were the battles in the air between the Spitfires and ME 109's. I've not seen one good review of it by others who watched it at the cinema i was lucky to borrow the dvd off a mate had i paid to watch it i would have walked out within the first 45 minutes it was that bad.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It's a cinematic masterpiece.

Just don't go in expecting some sort of action movie.

If I had any complaint it would be that Nolan focused too much on terror and panic without enough of a nod to professionalism and valour.

 

[mowgli]

It's a cinematic masterpiece.

What utter bollocks! Over 300.000 men gathered on the beach to get rescued yet the film showed the beach as empty except for single files of men who were desperate to get home. You would see more holidaymakers today sunning themselves on the beach than this shit film showed on the beach. Nolan's version of an important part of our history should be either ignored or binned it's that bad. Try talking to someone who was there like i have that i drink with every Sunday lunchtime you'll change your view of a crock of shit that Dunkirk is.

You'd probably be surprised by how little the production crew's inability to get hundreds of thousands of extras factored into my appraisal of the film. In my opinion it's actually quite an odd reason to dismiss it, especially while lauding the 1958 depiction that didn't convey the scale of the operation either, not that I think either did an especially terrible job.

The Greatest Showman
This was a lovely and uplifting movie, just what one needs to begin the miserable month of January. Relies on a lot of the usual musical tropes, but is very stylish and full of positivity which are the things which will stay with me.

no one seen this yet? or cant be arsed to review? I thought it was an enjoyable film to watch. a buddy cop movie essentially and you can tell Netflix have thrown everything at this

7/10

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I thought it was decent, didn't really understand why the critics went after it so hard. Already had a sequel green-lit too.

 

[mowgli]

Another Mother's Son (2017)
Not a bad film it's based on a true story about a widow living in Jersey during WWII who hides an escaped Russian POW from the Germans. 6.8/10.

Watched the first one again the other day and it was superb. 10/10. Will definitely check this one out too.

There hasn’t been a really good film released for years. Fucking rehashes and bollocky super hero shite and sci-fi nonsense.

I watched some shite called Triple 9 the other day. Ffs.

Hacksaw Ridge released last year was the best film i've seen since Saving Private Ryan.

 

[Indian Dan]

Oh, I forgot that. I saw it a few months ago. Very good.

Very good? I thought it was outstanding and gave it 10/10.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Have you watched Logan?

 

[Johnnyt]

i watched Fargo last night, not sure if it was a thriller or a comedy?

the accents were bit weird ' ya ' and ' ya' is there a German village somewhere in Minnisota

It's not a true story, the Coen brothers just put that in for dramatic license. As for the German influence that wouldn't surprise me tbh as the German immigrants built houses and communities all over rural America.
