Yesterday I watched The Longest Yard and Mean Machine (nice one @Connor )in the same day.

Both identical movies with different sports.

Both a bit crap. But with good soundtracks.

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.

Worth going to see in your opinion ?

I'm a massive fan of the book and I'd be comparing it to the book if I went to see it

Saw IT last night. Thought it was alright, Skarsgaard was excellent. It was shot well but was guilty of the same shortcomings of a lot of modern horror films. It was just sequential jump scares in place of well-built tension and eventually suffered from the law of diminishing returns. I just wasn't too bothered with it by the end. A shame, because the opening scene had a lot of impact.

Cheers, won't bother then

It's okay like. I could see how some people enjoyed it, but I have a very particular idea of horror. Don't not go on my account!

Alien Covenant and Churchill in a double film header......Both ok although I probably preferred Churchill.

I like slow building, atmospheric horror, not in your face, horror by numbers, so will probably swerve it, unless it comes on somehere very local.

This x1000

It clearly has a lot of respect for the source material - but has the same limitations of most modern horrors (Make big scary sound happen when big scary thing appears)

About to watch pirates of the Caribbean

Got around to watching Inside Llewyn Davis tonight and thought it was excellent. Really enjoying Oscar Isaac, think he's a leading man in the making.

Watched a show called The Debt, about three Israeli agents sent to kidnap a nazi war criminal.

Thought it was an excellent show, wouldn't really be a fan but Helen Mirren was brilliant in it.

 

[Blue Sky]

No Country For Old Men by the Cohen Brothers , if you liked Fargo get it .

 

[nsno-chris]

IT - thought it was great, a lot darker than the original and more inline with the book. Pennywise was a lot more demonic than when Curry portrayed him, with a lot less fun in the character

Well I watched Ghost in the Shell lastnight and was pleasantly surprised after hearing it bombed on release.

A cross between The Matrix/Bladerunner and a bit of the recent Judge Dredd movie.

I liked it, solid 7/10 from me.

Agree..not a bad film at all

Re-watched the whole matrix series the other day, still quality viewing... especially the first
