Rick Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Just got back from the new Child's Play film. Surprised at how decent it actually was! 6.5/10 Quote

Not a patch on Peter Jackson's King Kong, but this one had the potential, and yet it seems they wasted it. Also, the humour scenes seems awkward. Visually it was a beautiful film. Too bad they didn't work on the rest. That was the shittiest reboot ever. Supposedly in the same universe as the new Godzilla films, which is bizarre as they were actually good. Quote

Murder mystery. Solid 7.5/10 for me. Great watch for a couple. It's the second quite good Adam Sandler movie I've seen direct on Netflix. Good enough to be seeing at the movies on a date night so not sure why Sandler is using this method for his films now. Edited June 29, 2019 by Harry Quote
IgnisExcubitor Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) @Cicero Yep I heard that too. Though I fail to see what Godzilla vs Kong can offer. If anyone is curious watch Rampage. An overgrown Gorilla takes on a croc and wolf. And it was largely shit too. Edited June 29, 2019 by IgnisExcubitor Quote
Bluewolf Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Watched 'Shaft' last night... Very good watch with some decent moments of humour in it as you might expect.. Was good watching the interaction between the old school style Shaft and his much younger son brought up on modern ways and thinking... that had me chuckling quite a bit throughout.. enjoyed it.. Gets 9/10 because they managed to get Richard Roundtree in it as well.. 2 Quote

Just my personal opinion on him, but I did like the story and rest of the cast. Quote

For a lot of people they wouldn't know the original Shaft with Richard Roundtree where it all started, so for them it might be their first outing. It never tries to take itself seriously and for me personally it's an enjoyable flashback, I suppose in some quarters it might seem out of place with his old school style and views but that is part of the fun clashing with his son on various subjects especially women and how to handle them and with Samuel L Jackson as the current Shaft it made it very watchable for me.. I enjoy his screen presence.. It may well not be your cup of tea but I am pretty sure you will know within the first 30 minutes.. Quote
Inverted Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Beats 8/10 A film about two boys trying to make it to an illegal rave in 1994 West Lothian sounds fairly one-dimensional but its a brilliantly acted and directed film, that straddles the feeling of tragedy and comedy really well.

IgnisExcubitor Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Watched the Spanish movie The Invisible Guest. A good thriller, that has a little too many impossible twists. They had a good opportunity to make a brilliant thriller but they went overboard by pushing too many possibilities. Still, quite an enjoyable flick. Quote

IgnisExcubitor Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 After reading @Bluewolf review watched Shaft and I enjoyed it. Didn't like Shaft Jr. but everything else is just good fun. The action scenes weren't that great, but the humour and chemistry between actors makes this an entertaining flick. 2 Quote

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted July 12, 2019 Subscriber Posted July 12, 2019 A western with Kurt Russell & Samuel Lee Jackson 'The Hateful 8', our son put it on for us last night because he knows I like westerns, I am afraid he was wrong with this one as it was not my type of western, started off slow, livened up a wee bit then to me it just became stupid and I completely lost the plot, a 6/10 for me.
