Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 7, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) I saw a "One Star" review for it in the local newspaper and I was appalled. Sounds like such a fun concept for a movie. How could they possibly, if they have, failed? Edited April 7, 2017 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffered from the usual best bits were in the trailer syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 8, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 8, 2017 The Boss Baby wasn't as bad as I expected. Alec Baldwin's voice work was superb. It was also REALLY weird, it reminded me of Storks (which was great) in how surreal it was in parts. Both about babies as well, weirdly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted April 9, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 9, 2017 I saw Ghost in the Shell tonight, I enjoyed it, it was just like if Blade Runner had a kid with that Björk video with the embracing robots. For me it could've been a bit more fun but the tone suited the film. It's perfect for Scarlett Johansson, she was great in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to plump for 3D but I have a 3D set up at home so thought I may wait for the home release. I think I am definitely going to catch it. I have a friend who refuses to go Cinema alone so I am probably going to have to see Power Rangers this week with him and really want to see F&F8 as well but think I will have to see GITS (I wonder if that is why it is not doing so well) before it starts cutting showings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Watched The Visit last night, was a bit of a mixed bag. Some decent moments, including one that had my howling. Overall, there are worse ways to spend 90 mins, and it was good to see M. Night strip it back a bit. Need to watch Split soon.

Its about £4.13 or something silly and an interesting experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted April 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just watched The Void. Â Cracking old school modern lovecraftian flick. Â From what I could make out all practical effects too which was a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 11, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2017 Watched this new action film called Stratton that's leaked online. Probably go straight to DVD or Netflix or whatever. Directed by Simon West, the Con Air dude. Not bad, actually. Dominic Cooper really wants to be the next Statham, doesn't he? He's ok in this but he doesn't really have the charisma to completely convince. Connie Nielsen is in it, looking absolutely splendid at 50-odd even if she puts on the worst accent I've heard in a film for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted April 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2017 Busy few days. Ghost in the Shell tonight, Power Rangers tomorrow (ugh) and F&F8 thursday or good friday.

Unless I was watching something like Driving Miss Daisy Loose anecdotal evidence but a friend of mines family drove her out to the one in Milton Keynes to see one of the Marvel films and she said she felt more beaten up than the time some of the bullies in her class took advantage of a ruck playing rugby in PE to lay the boot in. There's very little to her so suspect she's feeling more force than most would in those seats but we've not investigated anything else since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I saw Deadpool in 4DX. Not sure I'd want to do it again, maybe for the next Star Wars but I found it really distracting. Highlight for me was a youngish couple walking in with what appeared to be one of their Nan's who was about 90. They played the Batman vs Superman trailer complete with all the 4DX gimmickery. When the trailer finished she let out an audible "Bugger that", walked out of the cinema and didn't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2017 Watched The Dream Team (1989) for the first time in ages. Fantastic cast. Michael Keaton is fucking dynamic in this. Young Keaton is fucking tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
