Looking forward to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA5njebTiZY

hrmmm... i'd still prefer a Toast of London movie, which this seems to have nicked a fair few ideas from.

yeeeeeesssssss!

Someone found an early script for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa?

Thoroughly recommend checking out The Love Witch if you've an evening to kill

Mindhorn - Boosh radio series!

The Young Offenders on Netflix - harmless fun, not bad way to spend 73 mins or so

The Young Offenders on Netflix - harmless fun, not bad way to spend 73 mins or so

watched this morning, did a few lols.

Heard it's good need to find it :)

Tales of tales, based on 25th century fairytale. Bit slow, but pretty and for me some touching moments worth a watch if you are patient.

Today cold galore so i watch basic stuff so you don't have to ;)

Deathproof: Pfff good music but switched off halfway
Bad taste: Go see brain-dead instead it's not bad but clearly his first effort and poor image quality
Pandorum: Space! Reactors! Status! People going nuts! Entertainment for what it is, event horizon and aliens were there first and better but has a few good plot touches among the running.

Happy St Paddy day :)

Get Out.

Well paced, manages to make things funny with some decent moments of tension and some well done jump-scares. Interesting premise that's not an exact clone of every other horror film. plot is complicated enough that I had to explain a couple of things to the missus after it finished.

pretty much everyone I saw leaving the screen afterwards was in a good mood and high spirits.

solid 8.5/10

Mystery Men, from 1999. Still very entertaining, deserves to have been much more successful than it was.

Loving last night, nicely told tale about a marriage hit hard by the times during the civil rights revolution, it's a sad story but a good watch

Beauty and the Beast, entertaining enough but I preferred the animated 1991 version.

Have hated all the academy award winners so far -- have yet to see moonlight. Hacksaw Ridge was just laughable war gore.

BUT saw Toni Erdmann. Long but brill.

Now that it's available from a widely used online source, I finally got around to watching Rogue One over the weekend.
It's a bit rubbish, I thought. i'm glad I didn't pay to see it in the cinema.

new alions poster goes all raep of persephone. i like it!

new kong king was as dumb as you'd expect. top monstering tho even tho senor kong seems unfeasibly large. presumably this is to bring him in line with le zilla who he'll be having a dust up with next year.

lol

Trailer for IT

Ghost in the shell and new alien... So afraid they're just going to disappoint :/

Cry of the city: Noise from 1948 so one for the old timers interested. Not bad, guess we are used to the Scorcese movies that recycle some tropes of it, but better.

Kudos for main leads and one rather terrifying female characters. It's stupid a 1948 noir has better female roles than a lot of modern commercial Hollywood stuff...

Great poster.

Very much in line with Gigers art.

kong king

You've got this wrong.

(You can thank me in beers.)

Saw GitS last night. Several scenes faithfully reproduced but tied together differently with an altered storyline. The pleasure of viewing it was mostly to see those scenes realised, rather than the ideas put forward like the original did.
TL:DR, looks pretty, story missed the point.

Agreed. Best bits were the re-done scenes from the anime.

I saw it too! Went in for the gloss and the aesthetic and the invisible reservoir fight and had the boxes ticked, but it was an ultimately shallow experience. Did it enjoy it though.

I was disappointed by GitS and Life on Friday.
