I'll definitely watch 'You're Next'. I presume you've seen 'Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon', another revisionist style slasher film I presume? I liked Leslie Vernon a lot.
Whilst on the subject of next generation horror film directors, I'm looking forward to the release 'The Lighthouse'. I really liked the director's previous film 'The Witch'
We were really looking forward to seeing that... what a disappointment.
I was surprised how they've managed to make a movie so boring... Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones... nothing could save that piece of art. We went to iSense theatre for some extra experience but it can be easily watched on 14" telly. Shame.
It had its moments but tried to be way smarter than it was.
2.175/10
A lot of silliness regarding the tangled timeline but not quite as bad as reviews would have you believe.
If you think about it, the whole premise of Terminator is flawed: you can't send guns, bombs or even clothes back through time but oddly, you can send a complex robotic piece of machinery powered by some sort of nuclear power cell if the whole thing's covered in synthetic skin.
Lots of inconsistencies to watch out for which kind of adds to your enjoyment.
It's just one of those films that asks you to suspend your disbelief to almost unendurable levels.
The bloke who played John Connor turned in a good performance.
Ultra low budget parody of The Hunger Games.
Kantmiss Evershot takes on President Snowflake.
Generally poor but with a couple of genius moments that really had me laughing.
4/10
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Spotted it on Netflix... Its about a fake chat show host.. I think it must be a thing in the US. He does these really awkward fake interviews with lots of famous people. The film is about him trying to get his own late night show sort of Office style filming... The film itself wasn't that great but the interviews are totally hilarious. And the bloopers at the end are just as funny.
This is a couple of examples. Theres loads on youtube.
7/10 (mostly for the interviews)

Wife said she thought it was rubbish, but laughed all the way through.
Mrs Lowry & Son - fine work by Vanessa Redgrave and the impeccable Timothy Spall. They drew us in and we loved it.
Pain & Glory - the best film we've seen so far this year. Oscar-winning performance by Banderas.
Hustlers - unsympathetic characters and dull story. Glossy but empty.
The Farewell - beautifully-played story and fine acting. Heart-warming stuff.
The Souvenir - the second-best film we've seen so far this year. Honor Swinton Byrne (Tildas daughter) is in nearly every scene and convincing in all of them.
I'm watching episode three at the minute, but I'm finding the lead character so utterly unlikeable that it's quite hard to carry on.
Please tell me she has some redeeming features because I'm very close to giving up.
I was expecting an epic and left hugely disappointed...
Somewhere between bad science, ridiculous script and wannabe - intellectual movie - all hope was lost. Even Pitt couldn't save it.
Come back with your review as I want someone to tell me it was only a bad dream...
Never seen it before, but I've heard a few things about it and I saw it was the anniversary of the original broadcast the other day. Tracked the full version down online and watched it in two sittings late at night.
Pretty powerful stuff even now, and really makes you think that it could well turn out like that.
It doesn't really appeal to me but I'm a bit curious to see it because people seem to hate it so much. And I don't mind a bit of pretentiousness.
What did you think of other recent SF "hits" like Interstellar, The Martian, Arrival and Annihilation?
I haven't seen Annihilation.
Interstellar - I liked. I wasn't too keen when I saw it the first time in the cinema - soundtrack was overpowering and story bit chaotic - since then I've seen it twice and liked it bit more every time. I would rate it higher than Ad Astra for sure.
Martian was a bit different and Damon on the screen makes it more difficult for me to identify with the character. Great book, ok movie - would still rate it higher than AA.
Arrival is probably the closest one here - as, bit like AA, is less of a sci-fi "space" movie but questions-asking drama in science fiction setting. I liked it, but I love Amy Adams too much ;-)
All of the above I'd rate 5/10 and higher whereas AA barely reaches 4 imho.
I will try to rewatch it and see if it had the Insterstellar effect for me, but I doubt it.
