Horrible Bosses 2 6/10 - the 3 guys from the first film invent shower pal, previously known as shower buddy (a certain someone has seen this then ), and some things happen. I thought it was funnier than the first one, although reviews suggest I'm alone in that opinion.

Took the child to the cinema last night to watch:

Despicable Me 3

More of the same. I really enjoyed the first one (7.5/10), the second one was ok (6.8/10) and this is more of the same. Points lost for the sheer irritation levels emenated by the bad guy (voiced by one of the blokes that do South Park). If you like the series, you'll like this. If not, stay away.

All Eyes On Me

Good film, seemed pretty accurate with some of the details. Tupac actual looked and played the part well. Other actors did the job ok, some sketchy attempts at depicting the characters, but over all ok.

A lot of story packed into the film, so some parts felt like they were skimmed over. Meant that some of the important bits were not as impactful as they could/should have been.

Probably not groundbreaking, and I dont think it is as good as Notorious, but I enjoyed it and worth a watch if you have ever enjoyed his music.

7/10

^ tried to watch it (I like rap and Tupac), started off with civil rights stuff straight away so I turned it off.

May I kill U? 4/10 - Kevin Bishop stars as a vigilante copper in this dark comedy... except it isn't very funny. Can't help but feel it would have been better without Bishop.

Get Hard 4.5/10 - Will Ferrell has to toughen up for prison. If you've seen the trailer you've seen all the funny bits.

Westworld 5.5/10 - realised I had actually seen this many moons ago, it's obviously the film the series' based on, except it gets through everything in 90 minutes and not 10 tedious hours. It's ok for a 70s film, stands up (to modern standards) fairly well.

Get Out - 7/10

An unexpected horror film from Jordan Peele. Quite unusual as well.

Plan Z - 1/10

The 1 is for a mildly attractive bird who appears later on in the film.
Nothing much happens, one or two zombie tussles, the people get to where they want to go and that's about it.
Believe me, that wasn't a spoiler.

Actually, I may have to rescind the 1 due to the appalling acting.

Paddington 6/10 - better than I expected, I thought it was going to be a cringeworthy kids film, but there's enough humour to keep you entertained even if you're slightly more mature

[RhynoCZ]

Free Fire - 6/10

A film where nothing goes as planned. It was alright, I haven't skipped a scene. It had some funny bits as well, worth the time, I'd say. It's no masterpiece though. Very well picked cast.

John Wick 2 6/10 - carries on from the first film (literally it's the same storyline), it's good, has the same grittiness as the first one, but I felt they needed to come up with a bit more for it to surpass the first film (it's more of the same).

Despicable 3. 5/10

Went to the flicks to watch this with Baby Satan this evening. It was good but not as good as the second and nowhere near as good as the first. But it did have me laughing in places.

Gia 1998, 6/10

I was round at a female friends house, and was asked if I'd ever seen this film, it's obviously not my kind of movie, but seeing as it had Angelina in it as a lesbian model I made an exception.

Shame she uses bad needles, gets sick and dies, as she was a stunning but slightly fucked up successful model and it's all such a waste really.

My Name is Lenny - 6/10

I thought this was going to be amazing for a British flick about an infamous criminal figure. Lenny's son was involved (not sure if he directed) but strangely only focused on his 3 fights with Roy Shaw and nothing else (being a bouncer, criminal connections, etc).

It was well acted though, very solid little film and I'd recommend watching it. The bloke playing Lenny did a great job.

King Arthur Legend of the Sword - 7.5/10

I love films like this, fantasy stuff mixed with medieval, which is why Game of Thrones is such a winner. Charlie Hunnam has the strangest accent in every part he plays, you can never place it.

It did seem like a Green Street Hooligans reunion of the cast though, lots of familiar faces from those type of football films and lots of big names too.

Good film though, would watch it again

Interview (2007) - 7.5/10

Steve Buscemi, a former war correspondent, is sent by his boss to do interview with a failed actress Sienna Miller. Both being reluctant to cooperate. Slowly uncovering each other's life issues and secrets to each other. I quite enjoyed this one, it was a bit different from what I usually find worth the time. Buscemi did a great job and always lovely Miller as well.

Wolf Creek 2 6/10 - really enjoyed the first one, and this one's more of the same. The guy's so twisted... I love him... that laugh Has a budget feel to it so might not be to everyone's taste.

This Means War (7/10)
Who can resist Reese Witherspoon.
I only happened upon it as I was flicking channels and it was just starting. I thought at first due to the cheekbones of the male lead, that it was "Dexter" but it turns out not even to be the same guy, so I thought Ah, Reece, light and bubbly, just what I need. I didn't even click that the English guy was Tom Hardy until my daughter happened to phone me 10 minutes into it, and declared it to be one of her favourite films, and that Tom Hardy even surpassed Leonardo di Caprio in her list of current movie star heart throbs. I had to pay attention to realise that he was the same person as the guy in Taboo and Bronson :o He has quite a range, that boy, doesn't he. Nice one. Still, it was really only fluffy, as any film with Reese Witherspoon must be, and the men were acceptably gung-ho, even the one with Dexter's cheekbones. I gave it an extra point because feelgood
