High Rise. Really enjoyed it. 7.7384/10.

Deadpool.  Great film.  Not many films make my top 10 (actually, it's probably about ten), but for sheer fun and a mixture of action, comedy and superhero stunts, there's nothing to match it.  It was a great mix of battle scenes, laugh out loud jokes and popcorn munching.

Arrival. 6/10

its alright although the twist may not be as clever as it thinks it is. I think it could be trimmed down a bit.  My mate suggested lopping about half an hour off would turn it into an OK film, I wouldn't be as harsh. Not bad though so worth a squiz if you've nothing better to do.

@ennspek , now that is a great film.

@Handsome_Chris Yeah it is. In hindsight I was probably a bit harsh with mark (as if that matters!).
I was really looking forward to Arrival. Going this week I think, that or Doctor Strange.
Hope you're well.

Hi @ennspek ,I'm very well thank you.

Dr Strange is a good going Marvel romp.  It's got a bit of magic and mystery  with the usual Marvel brand fun. I really enjoyed it. 

Arrival is alright. It surprised me as it gets kinda slow in parts. I managed to deal with that in The Girl On The Train as it was filling in lots of interesting detail, I can't say why I was much less tolerant of it on Arrival as that would involve a spoiler.

Either way you choose you're not going to see a bad film. Have a great one and hopefully see you at The Guitar Show

100 Streets.  Pretty good film featuring four different stories of people who live near to each other and their paths sometimes cross.

What We Do In The Shadows. Vampire mocumentary from one of the guys who did Flight of the Conchords. 

I'd highly recommend it. Very, very funny.

The Invitation. An American one. We sometimes have to sit at a dinner table with the mother-in-law, or other people we don't feel comfortable with. We whinge and the girlfriend goes ballistic, so we yield to her pressure and go anyway. However, this all might go beyond having to fritter away precious hours of our lives at a place packed with people we don't feel at ease with. Nice suspense for a Friday night, M&M and Toblerone next to you.

Vintage Toblerone or post '16?

Deadman

Ouija Origin of evil.
Not a bad horror movie amongst those I've seen in the last few years. I'd give it 7/10.

Last 30 mins just ruined the film for me. Possessed entities running around on the ceiling were laughable. Not too bad overall, but it could be bit better if not the ending.

I saw Nocturnal beasts and arrival yesterday. nocturnal beasts was very good, genuinely creepy performance from Aaron Taylor Johnson.

Arrival is okay, good sci fi. a bit overhyped and like Chris said it's not as smart as it thinks it is.

The Babadook . Probably 6/10. I liked the book illustrations the best. The rest was a bit depressing really.

I'm still waiting for my copy of the book.  I think it's been nearly two years now.

Anthropoid - About the plot to assassinate the Butcher of Prague in WW2, very enjoyable film....

BFG - A gentle family movie, OK I suppose. Clever FX, but a bit dull.....

10 Cloverfield Lane, 3 people in a Nuclear bunker, prevented from leaving by the  prepper/owner is he a fruitloop?

ennspek

Doctor Strange. Quite enjoyed it. Won't change your life but it doesn't let the Marvel side down.
Benedict was imminently watchable as usual. Some of the humour seemed to fall a bit flat but there were only about 10 people in the screening.

Off work with a bad back yesterday so watched Everest and Concussion

interesting to read the real truth of both of them afterwards

DrJazzTap

The Neon Demon......that third act. The film definitely takes a turn down weird street! I'm going to have to watch it a few more times to form a proper opinion, some cracking visuals but yes it gets bonkers.

Independence Day Resurgence.

I admit, I loved the original, it was a proper old fashioned B movie and didn't pretend to be anything other than a massive dose of cheese.

The sequel was awful. The simple charm of the original was gone completely.

4 / 10

It only gets that much as the FX were good, and for the one single very silly and enjoyable idea about the alien craft straddling the Altantic.
