What Movies Have You Seen III

[veggiepatch1959]

Bad Moms - expecting a chick flick but I was mildly surprised. While it did have some soppy moments, I got quite a few chuckles out of it.

6.5/10

Watched Hell and High Water last night and just got out of Arrival tonight.

Both enjoyable in their own way, like a less extreme No Country For Old Men and a more extreme Close Encounters Of The Third Kind respectively, in basic terms.

My only issue is both felt a teensy weensy wee bit underwhelming once all said and done, probably cos the buildup for each was really fun. I guess it's hard for any movie to really get that punch at the end (and those that do are the "classics").

So, recommended but not in a stark raving mad GO SEE IT OR DIE kinda way.

 

[Dogs Of War]

War dogs. Not a bad way to spend some time. Quite enjoyable. Good acting performances.

Hell or High Water. Could have been very good but a very meh ending.

Bridget Jones Baby. Wasn't going to bother as the trailer looked sh!t but the wife wanted to and it had 77% on RT, 7.2 on IMDB.

Should have looked at Metacritic to justify not watching it.

Purely a cash grab and Colin Firth looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there, and I am with him.

Glad I didn't waste cash at the movies for it.

 

[PJ]

Also Captain Fantastic.

Not going to be everyone's cup of tea but I really liked it.

A better third act would have really elevated it though.

Mike and Dave need wedding dates

Lemon Squash needs scotch

Dr Strange, i thought it was pretty good. nothing ground breaking but is was enjoyable all the same. It looked absolutely awesome in 3D.

 

[PJ]

Gleason. Very moving story, and surprised a little at how much access (or at least what they allowed to be shown) for what seems a great guy and loving wife in a horrible time facing a merkin of a disease.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

streamed deep water horizon last night.

not bad, found myself wanting the bald bp engineer to die so i guess the movie grabbed me.

7/10

Agreed, watched it at Imax in 3D, which was a pretty damn awesome experience, including the new Rogue One trailer which I hadn't seen yet.

Kinda had a Batman Begins meets Inception feel to it, with magic stuff of course, I enjoyed the quirky humour too (including the mid-credits scene). That cape was the man.

 

[thorson1987]

Hacksaw Ridge.

f**king awesome movie.

Up there with Saving Private Ryan.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

the den

not bad, it of a different take on the unfriended storyline

 

[Bastard Squad]

Arrival, pretty good journey but the end was a bit flat, makes you think a bit. Opposite of Independence Day.

 

[McLovin]

Triangle - Melissa George movie. Confusing mess...

 

[Pugzley]

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. Delightful and pure escapism.

 

[vvvrulz]

Arrival 9/10 - Brilliant, first real science fiction drama in a very long time. Unlike Intersteller doesn't go completely off the rails in the third act (although does flirt with it a bit).

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Girl on a train.

Watchable. 3/5

The new movie about the origins of Macca's with Nichael Keaton looks very interesting, btw. Saw the preview today.

 

[azzah72]

The Accountant, Affleck's new movie.

Thoroughly enjoyable with a couple of twists and pretty funny at points.

The action is also great, bare-knuckle stuff.

The punisher is good in it, the Netflix one.

philosophy of a knife

very unsettling and goes forever
