IT 4/10 - the main problem with this film is it has one of the kids from Stranger Things, which's a constant reminder of how much better ST is. IT doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, a horror film one minute, then Stand By Me, then The Inbetweeners with dialogue not really befitting a bunch of 13yr olds The acting as a whole was poor, again another thing ST did better.
Oh and don't watch it if you're scared of clowns. |

7/10
I'm not sure what happened but I liked it. Chris O'Dowd's arm steals the show. |
It's a busy old mess, like they were determined to throw in references to / steal from everything. Still sort of worked for me.
Many shouts of GRAVITY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!, but perfectly watchable if you set your expectations to TV quality and techno-babble. IMDB 5.8 / RT audience 52% is about right, although the reviews giving it a thorough 16% critic shoeing aren't exactly wrong either.
Highlights were the black woman working the space phone , and Mr Space Phone Operator having the smallest ears... in the world. Really, once seen, you can never unsee. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Into the Wild 8/10
I really liked it, not to the same extent of course, but it reminded me of my younger self, I'd often just wander off and hitchhike about, and do stuff, and meet random people as I hitched to some place or walked cross country to somewhere else, and had about a gazillion different jobs
obviously, in the UK you would have to make an extraordinary effort to get well and truly stuffed in "the wilds" unlike the USA which could easily bite you hard I guess, and you'd never be more than a long walk back form anywhere.
Even so, I liked it and it reminded me of younger me. |

Salyut 7 5/10 loosely based on the real story of two Russian cosmonauts who docked with and revived a dead space station. It's kinda like Gravity but with Russian patriotism, with good performances from I can gather (it's subtitles), and some really good visual effects which no doubt someone on here will tear apart
I'd rate it a lot higher if they'd kept the story more 'real' and dialed down the propaganda. There was also a fairly nasty dig at NASA/the Challenger accident.
EDIT: one odd thing, Amazon split the film (2hrs long) into two parts. It's strange as Hollywood seems to put out nothing but 2hr yawn fests |

The Cloverfield Paradox 4/10 - an attempt to tie-in three very different Cloverfield films. Even as a stand-alone Sci-Fi film it was shit, and had a very Netflix narrative <bnp72 mode> the black people were the heroes and the blue eyed blonde devils the villains |

I, Tonya 5.5/10 - a story I knew nothing about, told in an engaging way (from multiple viewpoints), and set to a good soundtrack. I'd rate it higher but it's a 2hr movie about figure skating, although Margot Robbie starring helped , even when dressed up as white trash. |

Pitch Perfect 3 /10 - much like the other films, surprisingly good musical pieces, some genuinely funny moments, and a few cringe-worthy bits as well. Probably not as good as the first two films, the ratings seem to back this up although they're often 'wrong' , but Hollywood always needs to have their trilogy.
I guess that's the problem, when you repeat the same thing multiple times without changing a great deal, it's obviously not going to seem as fresh (although The Hangover managed it). |

Scott Pilgrim
Seen it before, wanted to watch it again cos I've started reading the comics again. Brilliant. Cinematography, soundtrack, actors, story, script. Edgar Wright is a brilliant man, and it is a travesty that this film didn't do better at the box office. 9/10
50 shades
Cinema date night, mrs' choice. Divorce is now pending. -10/10
War on Everyone
I missed this at the cinema, so found it out to watch it. Really good film. Funny, dark, and well shot. Two dodgy cops find out about a planned robbery and decide to blackmail the bad(der) guys. Worth a watch. 8/10
Get Him To The Greek
Again, one I've seen before but wanted to see it again. really funny follow on to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and as much as I dislike Russell Brand, he makes this film brilliant. Well worth a watch. 8/10 ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.
