I did watch the first one out of curiosity because everyone said it was different and, well, I didn't think it was really. But the taxi driver was funny and there's always Baccarin, so it wasn't a total dead loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodyGraham Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 There were at least 2 points in Deadpool 2 where I was the only person howling with laughter in our screening. My only real criticism was that it took it’s time hitting it’s stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 20, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2018  Watched The Edge Of Seventeen last night. I think it was @Devon Malcolm who recommended it when it came out, but I second the recommendation completely. Great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the better explorations of a Mother/Daughter relationship I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 20, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2018 I think I slightly preferred The Edge of Seventeen but I also think Lady Bird would hold up better to a rewatch. Both are absolutely superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be prepared that it's violent and weird as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 20, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2018 I thought it was really boring and had nothing to it except some admittedly inventive gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted May 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) No it's rubbish. Don't waste one of your three a year on that. Watched The Roommate last night thanks to the good people at Poundland. It's a pretty standard bunny boiler with a very pretty cast. It's a bit long in getting to the point and anyone who's seen Hand That Rocks the Cradle and Fatal Attraction has seen it all before. That said I've seen much worse and I'm in love with Aly Michalka. Deadpool 2 was funny and well worth a watch but a bit too silly for me. Hard to get a sense of jeapordy. Look forward to seeing it again though.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted May 20, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2018 Tickled. I'm sure I first read about it on here but I wasn't expecting it to be what it was. Without spoiling anything, it starts as a documentary about Competitive Extreme Tickling but it gets weird and dark and weird again pretty sharpish. Fascinating and baffling in equal measure.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 24, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2018 Just back from Solo. I was worried about this one beforehand - turns out I needn’t have been. It’s loads and loads of fun, does a good job at keeping away from predictability and while it’s not perfect it’s really enjoyable throughout. Great stuff!

WyattSheepMask Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I’m looking forward to Solo, but it does seem to have had some lukewarm reviews so far, and that’s before you get to the cretins who rate things on IMDB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I managed to snag a free ticket for some time next month so I'll eventually see it, I just wish Gambino wrote it as well as acted in it. But yeah reviews have me thinking it'll be a fun but inconsequential bit of fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) I think that’ll be commonplace with the ‘A Star Wars Story’ films. You’ve got that core fan base who’ll watch anything Star Wars related then complain about childhoods being ruined before watching the next thing, but these can work fine just as standalone movies for casuals. My wife said she’d go watch it with me after we saw the trailer the other night and she’s never watched Star Wars in her life, but she knows who Han, Chewie and Lando are. I’ve got a feeling I’ll come out of it similar to when I watched Rogue One - not essential viewing but enough fun if you’re a Star Wars fan with plenty of little nods to the main story, yet accessible enough if you’re new to it.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2018 I can't imagine it will be anywhere near a good as Rogue One. That's just straight up a good standalone film that happens to be in the star wars universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 From the trailers, I just don't buy the actor as a younger Harrison Ford. Especially when this guy exists:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwLv993khfI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
