mickey finn 12 #2305 Posted February 11, 2018 The Cloverfield Paradox.4/10 Unbelievable bad story. Unbelievable bad acting. Unbelievable bad science. The last 5 minutes were not bad. Damn it, I just signed up to Netflix specifically to watch that, oh well I'll have to cancel when its time to start paying for the subscription.

nikki-red 310 #2306 Posted February 11, 2018 The Ritual 7/10 I know theres been quite a lot of negativity about it, but I liked it. I thought it had just the right amount of humour, and the whole Norse God thing is quite interesting. I did realise halfway through that Id actually read the book a couple of years ago tho.

Naive 10 #2307 Posted February 11, 2018 Damn it, I just signed up to Netflix specifically to watch that, oh well I'll have to cancel when its time to start paying for the subscription. Watch “The men who stare at goats” instead then. That’s how I spent this snowy afternoon. A very odd, but compelling film. Jon Ronson’s books are worth a read too.

star1234 10 #2308 Posted February 11, 2018 I've just watched 'The Mountain Between Us', with the fabulous Idris Elba & Kate Winslett. It's about a random couple who are thrown together as a result of a plane crash. I wouldn't have necessarily put the two of them together but it's superbly acted by both of the above, (there's only about 4 characters & a dog in the plot), but I was crying buckets at the end. I'd have to give it a 10/10. It's filmed in beautiful British Columbia too, which is one of my favourite parts of the world.

top4718 838 #2309 Posted February 11, 2018 The Nice Guys - 7/10 - I didn't like Shane Black's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, found it overrated, this one is a 70's set black comedy thriller with two PI's getting together to solve the apparent suicide of a porn star. Funny and quite violent in places, like an old fashioned buddy cop movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chelle-82 10 #2310 Posted February 12, 2018 Texas Blood - I just didnt get it! it was like watching a cheap US drama series but in a film 0/10 Southern Fury - I can only describe it as mental! Nicolas Cage's over acting and the non essential sex scenes are just random! 3/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jon Ronson’s books are worth a read too. Wow, I've never heard of that but checked up and it has a proper big time cast, will give it a go.

The Joker 10 #2312 Posted February 12, 2018 No Good Deed 6.5/10 Im not entirely happy with Idris Elba being a baddie, but its a watchable enough thriller. I've just watched 'The Mountain Between Us', with the fabulous Idris Elba & Kate Winslett. It's about a random couple who are thrown together as a result of a plane crash. I wouldn't have necessarily put the two of them together but it's superbly acted by both of the above, (there's only about 4 characters & a dog in the plot), but I was crying buckets at the end. I'd have to give it a 10/10. It's filmed in beautiful British Columbia too, which is one of my favourite parts of the world. I prefer it when Idris Elba plays Idris Elba (as he did in Luther) but I'll try to watch both of these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ontarian1981 10 #2313 Posted February 13, 2018 The French Connection - 8/10 A classic. Gene Hackman at his best. "Did you ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?" Loved the chase with Gene in the Santa Claus outfit LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
top4718 838 #2314 Posted February 13, 2018 Sid And Nancy - 7/10 - Gary Oldman plays tragic punk rocker Sid Vicious in this 80's biopic, great film with Ed Tudor-Pole not really convincing as Johnny Rotten letting the side down.

Gary Oldman was brilliant,what else is new, but I thought the film was very dark and depressing, which was exactly the point, I suppose. Agree with your rating, mainly because of Oldman. ---------- Post added 13-02-2018 at 19:26 ---------- Gary Oldman was brilliant,what else is new, but I thought the film was very dark and depressing, which was exactly the point, I suppose. Agree with your rating, mainly because of Oldman. While we are talking 80's movies. I had another peek at Born on the Fourth of July. I had forgotten how good this Oliver Stone classic was 9/10. Anybody who thinks Tom Cruise can't act, can't have seen this performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
