No need, eh have seen Blackadder Goes Forth

[Poodler]

We will probably finish behind them too, with our current strike force

Venom - utter shit. 3/10

It's a superhero movie. Guaranteed pap.

[The Oxford Don]

The Shape of Water. I thought it was ace.

 

It's a terrific film, and surprisingly erotic too. I don't think I was fully prepared for the lead wifey and the aquaman sea-creature thing to be getting it on! Weird. 

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I saw the Equaliser with Denzel Washington this evening.   Good.  8/10.

 

Loved the Russian baddy in it.  Quite tense at times and with good action scenes.  One of those characters where you think "I wish I was like him and could kick fuck out of loads of people at once",

 

Not keen on these revisions of characters as a rule - the 80s Equaliser TV show with Edward Woodward was awesome, with one of my fave theme tunes ever = however I liked Denzel Washington a lot and he was also a producer on it.

Bad Times At The El Royale.

 

Well, it's definitely different. Tarantino-esque in it's direction for sure, a group of odd characters all hiding their own secrets check in at an equally odd hotel. It's interesting enough in its concept but it is fucking long. Would be far better without the lengthy check in sequence at the beginning. 

[tiktak]

First Man.

 

Not at alll about the moon landing, more a character study of Neil Armstrong come historical document of how Armstrong came to be commander of that Apollo mission. It's a slow mover and won't be everyone's cup of tea and also drags on a bit. 6/10 for me. 

[caledonia]

One Day Removals.

 

What a load of complete and utter shite.

 

0/10

Is this the one made in Aberdeen

thought it was good and we beat the huns 2-1 as well i think

[GlezgaRed]

Hotel Artemis, poor stuff starring Jodie Foster, Dave Bautista & Jeff Goldblum - 4/10 (sadly can see more films but with lesser actors)

 

 

Hold The Dark, kept me interested to the end and weird with some decent violence - 6.5/10

[Chewie37]

Watched the Justice League movie finally.......not really bad, not really good, they just cant get DC comics into decent movies. Christian Bale Batman Dark Knight with Heath Ledger probably the best out of them. Most of the rest are fairly meh

[tiktak]

Halloween.

 

A reboot of the Halloween franchise. First you need to rewind back to the end of the original and forget everything else that took place after. Mad Mikey has been locked up for 40 years during which time Jamie Lee Curtis' character Laurie Strode has turned into a paranoid, gun toting mentalist just biding her time until Michael finally escapes. There's bits of this that work ok and other stuff that makes no sense at all.

One thing that makes no sense to me... I saw her die in one of the Halloween movies. 

 

But she's alive and well in this one?

Apparently you will need to disregard the sequels that were made previously.

This is to be considered the true sequel.

Yeah just imagine it's like Bobby Ewing in the shower.........

She cut his head off in H2O but as I've said, they've changed the storyline so nothing that happened after the original movie counts. The ending also leaves the door ajar for further sequels or even further developments but I hope they don't, the story is done.

[tightbreeks]

Apostle on Netflix, a Welsh wicker man with more blood and guts. Worth a look, Jamie from the thick of it is in it!

 

Calibre, a Scottish deliverance. Pretty good as well.

[tiktak]

Bohemian Rhapsody.

 

You know the story, more or less, so either you'll be interested....or not. I enjoyed it enough without being enthralled.

[Jocky Balboa]

Me and Mrs Balboa are going to see Bohemian Rhapsody at the weekend. I'm keeping an open mind, but after so many production problems, it's hard to tell if it'll live up to expectations. Borat wanted it to be a big cocaine-riddled, AIDS-ridden buggery festival, but since the personnel changes they seem to have gone for the more musical angle (rightly IMHO).

It IS band oriented. If Freddie had a wild lifestyle it is only hinted at and glossed over in this.

I enjoyed Apostle, suitably weird and creepy. 

[Quagmire]

A Star is Born - Thought i was getting dragged into a shit musical but turned out to be an enjoyable watch. Fine change from the never ending Marvel crap 

[StandFree1982]

Does he still die of Aids in the end?

Well he didn't get it in his mouth..........probably

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I thought this was brilliant. The boy that plays Freddie nails it.

Went to see Bohemian Rhapsody last night, great film

 

As well as they boy who play Freddie nailing it, so do the boys playing May and Deacon; Taylor less so.

[Poodler]

Also saw it on Friday night.

 

Some inconsistencies in it. Complete lack of bumming scenes too.

 

Watched a few queen videos over the weekend, this one struck me

At the end, that interview with Taylor/ May, what a complete prick Paul Daniels is. Can't believe he said that, comparing himself to Freddie

[The Boofon]

Stir Crazy.

 

Hasn’t aged well. A disappointing 5/10.

[The Boofon]

Monty Python Holy Grail was watched before it.

 

10/10 for that. Timeless. Stir Crazy immensely disappointing.
