Manchester by the Sea 6/10 - slow emotional thing, but I liked how the interactions felt real, and it conveyed some of the real tension/awkwardness you get between people.

Una - 7/10

Fucked up film. Ben Mendelsohn, recognise that name? He's one of the actors who you seen in a lot of stuff but you can never quite place his name, for me at least. Rooney Mara is also in this, as she seems to be in about 10 films that came out this year.

The Beguiled - 6.5/10

It was a bit long and drawn out for what it was but had it been about 30 mins shorter, it would have been a solid 7.

Tokyo Ghoul live action 6/10
Didn't know about manga/anime at all and watched this film.
It's a story of both human and ghoul(which eat human) sides.
Ghouls has Kagune as weapon in their body, Human(CCG) side try to kill Ghouls with weapon called quinque. Main charactor Kaneki was about to be eaten by a Rize but saved by an "accident", and transplanted some Rize's body parts by a doctor, which made him half-human half-Ghoul.
Later I rented all volumes of mangas. 119 mins film covers only first 3 volumes of mangas. I liked it's story. It was interesting to read YT comments by manga fans saying actress was ugly(Yuu Aoi who acted Rize).

Ajin demi-human live action 5/10
Didn't know about manga/anime at all and watched this film.
Most of the scenes were fighting action scenes. Maybe more than a half?
109 mins film was too short, and not kind for beginners with less explanation on IBM(some black fighter comes out of Ajins).
Later I watched some of anime on YT, anime seems to be better than this film. Haven't read manga yet, so can't tell story is good or not. YT comments by anime fans were saying Badass Satou shouldn't be acted by young actor.

Citizen Kane

Wanted an old film to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon, never seen what it allegedly the greatest film ever made, so Citizen Kane it was.

I enjoyed it - it is relevant to today in that it concerns a media mogul who's power corrupts. Good script, well acted etc etc....

The only thing that spoiled it was that I already knew Rosebud was his sledge.

Baywatch 3.5/10 - pretty bad as I was expecting, there were a few laughs, and some nice boobies but I struggled to make it through to the end.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

I really enjoyed the first one (unexpectedly) and thought that this one looked good. I don't think it is as good as the first (9/10 for the church scene alone) but it is still strong. The inclusion of Elton John irritated me though. Give it a try 8/10

Cooties (2014)

Shaun of The Dead but with teachers. Elijah Wood, Allison Pill and Rainn Wilson are teachers who have to escape zombified kids who have been infected by eating dodgy chicken nuggets. It was alright to watch, but nothing brilliant. 6.5/10

Grand Prix (1966, remastered 1080p) - 9/10

This film was very, very well made. The racing bits were just exceptional. It sure was not cheap to make. Not even CGI and documentaries have such attention to detail.

1 point down for the story telling.

Blade runner 2049

Just got back from watching this, definitely worth paying to go and see it at the cinema, it think it will loose some of the impact on the small screen.

7/10

[thx1138]

just watching the Trainspotting 2, paused it waiting for everyone else at the opening sequence with the running machine.

It looks to me that Renton underpronates, so unless he is a method actor , so does Ewan McGregor.



Read Porno some years ago. Should be interesting to see what the film is like.

Transformers: The Last Knight - 05/10

It looks good, it looks good and um it looks good. That's about it.
Also they have a new 16 year old girl, who plays as a 14 year old, that the film seems to be trying to make her into the new Megan Fox. Oh and a setup for the next film.

Hounds Of Love : 6.5/10

I don't normally watch films like this, just not in to them but it was pretty unsettling. A couple who abduct a girl and hold her prisoner... set in Australia in the late 80's.

Message from The King : 7/10

Dude comes over from Cape Town to Los Angeles to find his sister who had fallen in with the wrong crowd but then disappeared. There were a couple of plot holes but it was well done and enjoyable.

Hitmans Bodygaurd - 6.5/10

Funny at times, cliche all the tie. All felt like a bit of a Reynolds and Jackson where quite good together, but with that, it should have been funnier. Feels like the whole thing just coasts by. Over all, fairly ok, guilty pleasure type of film to stick on in the background while your pretend to study / work.

Jack Reacher - Never Go Back (1/10)

Had to watch it as I love the Jack Reacher series. Tom Cruise is not fucking Jack Reacher...

Mad Max Fury Road 7/10

Wish I'd watched it in cinema. It was a visual delight. Original mad max films were good and this seemed to fit the feel or the originals very well. Tom Hardy was good but think that maybe they should have kept with Mel Gibson to make it more authentic.

Blade Runner 2049 9/10

Good but incredibly long, there was only one scene that I think it didn't need.
