Leatherface in his 70's at least, outrunning and outmuscling a bunch of young adults is criminal in itself. That ending too... good grief.

Trading on its name from the original horror genre 70’s or was it early 80’’s? I kind of liked the first remake with the Full metal jacket seargent major man, mainly for the beautiful blonde girl who wears the cowboy hat

Little Joe : a creepy little film, a cross between The Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, The Day of the Triffids and The Midwich Cuckoos.
Saw Death on the Nile today. Really enjoyed it
The Hunt on Netflix
“Is it a horror, is it a thriller or is it a suspense?”
These were the questions we asked ourselves just as we put it on. The answer at its conclusion was ‘awful!!’
It is garbage stay away from it.

It`s really an ultra black comedy.
If you don`t take it seriously, it`s quite entertaining and is all about equality, class and social standing in America etc.
Just watched Belfast. Average. Was excited to watch after reading a glowing review from Guardian. Was disappointed though. Made me cringe sometimes. Kenneth is a guy I look up to but this wasn't what I had hoped for. Oh well...
I found it far too political but it's a yank film, so pretty standard.
The Kill Team - it’s on Netflix.
It could’ve been a good film, but at an hour and a half, it’s too short to cover what went on, so feels like a lot of it is skimmed over.
Based on real events, a platoon of American soldiers, led by their sergeant, go on the rampage in Afghanistan and start murdering civilians.
Well acted, good cast, but doesn’t justice to the subject matter. Should’ve been at least 30 mins longer ( imo)
I get that but it was still shocking, just over an hour long (which shows the writers didn’t really have a story to tell), the acting was abysmal for what it was and the reason for setting up the manor in the first place was laughable.
Each to their own mate, I enjoyed it.

Terminator: Salvation (2009)
Yes, I'm very late to the party with this one.
Man, what a mess.
They could have made a brilliant future-war epic that closed the circle of the whole story by showing how the time-travel element of the first two pictures came about (I'm deliberately ignoring the terrible third film by the way, it ain't even worth discussion). I wanted to see a bloody epic future fight between man and machines, ending with Skynet being destroyed, just after the protagonists of the first two films were sent back in time to create the events of the (undeniably) brilliant James Cameron efforts.
Instead they threw out something that looked like a cheap MTV video promo, with characters you couldn't care about and action scenes that looked like a Sega Megadrive game. The story was limp, the clichés were abundant and the future just didn't look as hellish and unforgiving as it did in the original pictures.
The reason the first film works is because Arnold was truly frightening - nothing could stop him. Punks, cops, shotguns, explosives, trucks, you name it - he shrugged them off and continued his deadly assassin mission.
There was a dark sense of humour to it as well - when he is in his seedy cheap motel, repairing his wounds - he actually stops for a moment to adjust his hair and fix his shades. It showed that even a supposedly emotionless killing machine could absorb information and adapt to it's environment.
The second picture is a template for cool action cinema - fast-paced, strong characters (Sarah Connor is almost a Terminator herself), an intelligent script that fills the gaps and Arnold again being a total badass. Plus the T-1000 was a brilliantly designed adversary that was truly a more advanced machine than Arnold - a worthy opponent.
Such a shame the franchise has deteriorated so badly. Haven't even bothered with Genisys or Dark Fate. I'll maybe catch 20 minutes of them late night on ITV 4 when I'm bevvied after skipping another Match of the day when Everton embarrass me yet again....

I thought it was alright, particularly enjoyed the first 30-45 mins. Thought the 'social commentary' fell a bit flat though, felt as though they'd chucked in all these references without any real coherent point to them.
Decent film but no replay value IMO.
