Alex 5,647 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Tooj was saying they've condensed about 7 books into one film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Kelly 404 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Aye my mate said that from what I told him about the film it seemed like they had done that. It certainly felt like it should have been part of something longer. It just seems to all of a sudden reach the end far too easily. It's a shame when it's such a well loved saga that's taken so long to get to the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish 770 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Dark Tower has been panned by fans of the books so it's not something I'm going to make a massive effort to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wolfy 12 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I watched an oldie. Rita, Sue and Bob, too. I thought it were great. I'm tempted to watch 'Kez' again. Oldish film but well acted. Gee oer Judd. Duth tha want tha fist? I'm tending to cast my mind back to the older films and trying to find them as they come to mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anorthernsoul 861 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Watched Born In China, superb footage which is breathtaking at times but the over dramatisation from the yank narrator is just far too much. Obviously it's by Disney so designed in that way but I can't help but feel with Attenborough on duties it would have been a lot easier to watch.

Happy Face 27 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Captain Underpants - loved it. Really really funny. Only 5 star film I've got in my list for 2017 so far. Also saw it at the Jam Jar cinema in Whitley bay which is excellent if you're closer to the coast than the Tyneside cinema, can't stand the multiplex and don't mind waiting a few weeks after the release date.

David Kelly 404 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Logan Lucky. Really enjoyed it. The plan is full of holes but it doesn't effect the enjoyment of the ride. Good Game Of Thrones Joke thrown in for good measure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adios 686 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Recently watched Dunkirk on 70mm. Mind (and ear) blowing but not really my kind of movie. I appreciate it's perfect in that it achieves what it set out to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
