Watched this last night, don't really know what to make of it tbh.

Had potential to be a very good film, but all felt a bit flat, despite the horrific scenes with the cannibals towards the end.

Cracking cast though, Kurt Russell in particular.

Could've done with being thirty mins shorter.

Nope, I'm still sure at all. Not a patch on Slow West or True Grit for me.

Went to see this the other - American Made.

Wasn't expecting much, but it's a very good film, with Tom Cruise putting in a cracking performance as the lead.

Based on the true story of commercial airline pilot, turned CIA pilot, Barry Seal, who also ended up running drugs for Pablo Escobar and running guns for the Regan government in the 1980's at the same time.

Well put together and very watchable.

* the girl who plays Cruise's missus in the film, relative unknown, Sarah Wright Olsen is very watchable too.

Want to see this, trailers looked great.

Sometimes the looking forward to is better than the event itself.

T2: Trainspotting

Drama about the realities of living in Scotland, artistically presented.

Official rating: 8 and a half bananas out of 10

Watched this yesterday.

Good film, but think the original is a lot better.

In saying that, sequels very rarely eclipse the original.

House on the Edge of the Park, cheesy 80's thriller

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Watched Get Out last night, very good if a tad weird

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Watched Back to the Future again today.

In the world of pure entertainment it still doesn't get much better than this.

Saw Knock Knock on Netflix the other night.

Nasty, awful garbage. Avoid like the plague, Eli Roth is disturbed. Keanu Reeves' dreadful acting was the only redeeming feature (in a so bad, it's good sort of way).

If the girls had been attractive it might have saved this film. Such a shame.

IT

Worked better as a 'Stand by Me/Stranger Things' coming of age tale than a horror movie

7/10

* very good book

It's considerably less hammy than that version - and only covers the first half of the miniseries (The Losers Club as children) - but that was very much the strongest part of the miniseries so it's really just a shinier updated version of it.
