Orphan (2009)

I enjoyed it, a good watch.

Knock Knock (2015, Reeves) - 5/10

90% of the movie - excellent, somewhat erratic and wild but good.

Ending, terrible, a zero. What a letdown.

Dope (2015) 7.5/10

A lot of fun...kind of a farcical comedy-drama with a great soundtrack. Highly recommended for fans of hip hop from the 90's.

Lead actor is phenomenal.

watched today, did enjoy

The Walking Deceased (2015) 2/10

As the name implies this is a spoof of TWD & it's garbage. Beyond stupid & pointless...don't waste your time.

Inside Out 7/10

Quite harrowing in some places but not too preachy.

What we Did On Our Holiday 7/10

I'm seldom disappointed by a UK Lottery funded movie and this one was no exception.

Starring an aging Billy Connolly, the kids are the real treat in this one. Poignant and funny in equal parts.

Was going to say it can't be worse than Tooken, but then I see Tooken it rated higher

Southpaw (2015) 7.5/10

Has a fair number of Rocky elements but kept me entertained the full 2hrs. Stellar performance from Jake Gyllenhaal who I don't especially like that much. Better than expected. Oh & Rachel McAdams has a "hot" role & looks the part as oppose to her girly girl roles in many of her other movies.

Been meaning to give that a watch.

Mr Holmes 8.5

Meticulously crafted movie and McKellen is simply superb.

Oscar nomination please.

Deathgasm - 7/10 ........ NZ indie that is actually not bad if you take it for what it is. I actually knew metalheads like that years ago, lol

Pixels 5/10. Hot pixel chick is the only saving grace and a very lovely looking Michelle Monayhan. Dinklage can be a brilliant dramatic actor but he chooses to work with Adam Sandler in shyte like this. Sad.

Man Up (2015) 7/10

Better than expected British Romcom with funny guy Simon Pegg. Some funny laughs. Extra points for the super neat 2-door E30.

Momentum (2015) 5/10

Action heist thriller; entirely shot in Cape Town. I really really tried to like it as I'm proudly Pro-CPT but really it was crappy. The extremely cheesy lines; the story; the way it was implemented.

Hollywood movie with budget of $20-mill & the outcome was poor.

Even Olga Kurylenko who I like; failed...

Some points:

Nice scene here...that's pretty much as good as it gets.



Vodacom 3G yo



Colin Moss was totally rubbish



And so was this dude that stars in many of the local soapies...just trying too hard



Yeah yeah...Cape Town



Baddie was played by Joe from <The Following>; playing same type of character from there in this movie.

The Cape Town setting was lovely & there is some okay action & car chase scenes.

Oh & we hear some Afrikaans & Xhosa dialogue in the background.

In a nutshell had potential but failed.
