Yeah, I thought I'd play it deadpan Btw, this is what it must be like when Fish and KCG get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like dropping a nightmare of a fart and just calmly walking away tbh. We could analyze this horror show of a joke for at least another two pages but we'll spare everyone.

NJS 4002 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hidden Figures - they laid it on a bit thick at times but overall very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 LIFE. By the numbers low rent Sci fi. Predictable and boring. Was rooting for the alien after half an hour. Some funny bits. 5.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Patriots Day. Easy watch for a couple of hours. Was good how they'd got actual footage of the incidents around the bombing in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some funny bits. 5.5/10 I thought it was ok and couldn't really work out why I didn't enjoy it more. Probably because, like you say, it was a bit by the numbers and there was nothing surprising or new in it. I did like the ending though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Free Fire. I've been disappointed in Ben Wheatley's last two films after loving Kill List and Sightseers but this was right back to form for me. The cast were all excellent but I thought Sharlto Copely, Armie Hammer and Sam Riley were particularly good getting most of the best lines.

Howmanheyman 27514 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The good, the bad and the ugly. I always thought I'd seen this but obviously must've only been bits of it. Brilliant filmmaking and music and the ending scene fitting of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Ghost in the Shell. It could have been good but fails in some obvious ways, especially the first half. Weirdly it takes off in the second half (just as I was thinking of nodding off) and I started feeling emotionally connected. There's a lot of highy stylised set pieces and in amongst all that she is looking for her past/ghost etc...(Handled clumsily). Blind Samurai is the best thing in it and his scenes give the film much needed ballast and gravitas as it threatens to spin off into video game territory. All in all quite hollow and lacking in ideas - all the ideas are in the style rather than the plot or characters. 6.6/10 To flesh out this kind of character you can give them somewhere to live (not just popping in and out the lab)...And in this microcosm little character traits/flaws/glitches can be born. Normally counter intuitive surrounding work well (old furniture, plants and so on...) Some picture or poster she salvaged from the garbage.... Because you can't connect with her till nearly the end you don't care about her and then the fight scenes are just rote. I also don't know why she goes around looking like a skinhead girl.

I'd go 6.7 on this with the extra mark being for the 3D which was some of the best I've seen outside the likes of Avatar and Gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly forgot the Dolby Digital coefficient to bring it up to 6.875. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
