Watched three films on the plane home today.

Kong - Entertaining enough. A 7/10 probably.

The Dark Tower - Again, entertaining enough. Another 7.

Drive - First time I've watched it, I don't know why it has such a cult following but it was decent enough. 7.5.

Did anyone here get to go in U-534 when it was at Birkenhead (and not cut up into three bits)? It was incredible how small it was inside, and that was one of the big ones.

I remember it when the still hadn't changed any of it and you could see where the charge hit, very eerie

You lied about voting for an independent in June, you are lying again.

The Foreigner - 7/10, good action thriller, kinda like Jackie Chan does Taken but a bit more realistic against the IRA.

About which film?

It’s a long rambling mess of a film. Further ruined by some ‘edgy’ soundtrack which sounds like a students end of term project.

Spy: Ashamed to say I laughed heartily, good film

Logan: No idea how I didn't see it until last night, superb

Baywatch: Another surprise, decent banter

rewatched The Terminator (1984).

I remember the first time I saw this I was left utterly breathless, and it still holds up and an absolute masterpiece.
Everything about this film is perfect - the closed loop plot, the casting, the pacing and direction. Flawless.

Stuff that elevates the film-

everyone is smart in this film. The Terminator is ruthlessly systematic an efficient (eg goes through files, takes advantage of a lucky answerphone call, impersonates Sarah's mother on the phone), Reese has to be one step ahead in indentifying both Sarah and the Terminator. Sarah "isn't stupid, y'know". Even the cops are smart; eg Traxler using the press to get Sarah to call them.

The love story.. "John gave me a picture of you.. you seemed a little sad, I always used to wonder what you were thinking." Turns out they were thinking about each other. It didn't need to be in the film, but that it is is simply brilliant writing.

Everything is shot from low angles, the quick editing, the soundtrack (not just the main theme, but the chase music is brilliant). The bleak vision of humanity in 2029 sets the stakes.

Hollywood, being what is is, just doesn't make 'em like this any more. 10/10.

Blade Runner 2049 really was fantastic.

Contrary to what @Bryan says, almost everything about it was great, ESPECIALLY the soundtrack and effects. It successfully felt like the original, while also adding to it.

9.5/10 for me (already watched it twice, once on my lonesome, then again with the wife. Incidentally, she thought it was very good as well!)

Spot on.

It`s a classic in the making, despite what that numpty @Bryan says.

I`ve seen it by myself too and I genuinely could have sat there for six hours, rather than three.

I`ll be getting the DVD the day it comes out.
