Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) - 6/10

Mad Max: Fury Road is still the best movie of the year.

Will need to watch The Martian, before I decide.

Creed - 8/10

Well said.

 

[FiestaST]

So early reviews are that Creed rocks & Michael B Jordan is still hot property.

So why the eff did he star in that turd of a movie called "Fantastic Four"?!

Same goes for Miles (Bank) Teller

PS: Creed (band) was the shiz back in the day

Because of money and the chance to star in a superhero movie that might have turned into a franchise. I'm sure they didn't think they were going in to make a turd.

Whiplash - 9/10. How did I miss this and how did Miles Teller go from this to F4 but its JK Simmonds playing a musical drill sergeant that blew me away.

 

[FiestaST]

^ yip that's what I'm saying about Miles Teller...excellent performance...and then we gave F4...

Granted he prob didn't know it would flop so bad...

The Age of Adaline - 6.5/10

Aspects of The Man From Earth in the first half, and gets really interesting from half way.

Welcome to the Punch (2013) 6.5/10

Brit action cop drama with James McAvoy; Mark Strong as well. Main themes are dirty cops; two-timing & such.Above average; keeps momentum going. "The Governor" from TWD has a big role has well. This time his role has his native British accent.

Goosebumps (2015) 7/10

Cool family movie, no brains required.

View From A Blue Moon - 9/10

The first surfing film shot in 4K - some filmed in SA.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials - 6.5/10

Well, there is a lot of erm..... running. Plenty of action but for a movie that long it has a bit too many gaps in the story. I need more answers dammit.

I'll definitely be watching the final one though.

Must actually make a plan and just read the books.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials - 6.5/10

6.5?

I started fast forwarding through that crap to get to the end

I read the summary/outcome of the next book so I won't bother with the next one...

Bus 657 (2015) - 6.5/10 *also known as Heist

Good mindless entertainment. "Clever" but predictable ending.

That's the one. Hate it when they release with different names. A couple of years ago "Get the Gringo" was released here as "What I did on my Summer Vacation". Silly.

Absolutely Anything - 6.5/10

Good for a couple of laughs. Simon Pegg is always fun and Kate Beckinsale is gorgeous.
