Stone (2010) 6/10

"A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path." Showed promise but slow to develop.

Jurassic World 6/10

Lost me at the dinosaur-whisperer bit.

Very underwhelming.

 

[Pho3nix]

Poltergeist ( 2015) - 5/10. Lulz
Spring (2014) - 7/10. Wasn't sure what to expect but I enjoyed it. .
It Follows - 4.5/10 - Decent but no scares for a horror.

The Canal (2014) 6/10

Creepy (Euro) Mystery Horror about a husband looking after his wife's supposed killer & discovering demonic spirits along the Canal close to them.

Hmm...thanks...(I think)

I am an unashamed movie buff/watcher

Why zero?

Trailer looked decent

the acting is sooo bad and the story line sooo poor

From what I saw in the previews it looks super k*k. They should've used the same guy from the first one and kept it more "realistic" like the first one was.

Sounds like a typical 'game' movie, so a must watch if only just for bitching purposes

Even Sharknado 3 got more than a zero - and it had the Hoff, Bo Derek and Ann Coulter in it !

I remember the first one....wasn't too bad

As far as game-first movies go the previous hitman is up there with best. Doom sucked. Tomb Raider was OK I guess....Max Payne is a touchy one and we might upset movie connoisseurs

 

[Neoprod]

max payne was good enough...true to the game. agree re Tomb Raiders...not even Angelina's body makes those rewatchable.

The Impostor (2012)


9/10

I haven't seen the documentary genre messed around with like this since Exit Through the Gift Shop. It's a fantastic movie.

Well the was some pretty nice T&A in the first hitman. Was hard to find fault

Sounds very interesting.

While We're Young - 6.5/10.

Decent enough latest film from Noah Baumbach.

The Salt of the Earth (2014 film)
9/10, even with crappy subtitles.

I'll watch this. Sebastião Salgado is amazing.
