Spotlight (2015) 8/10

Really well shot & the build up and momentum it carries is great. Excellent watch. Still slightly surprising it won Best Picture though...

 

[Neoprod]

Deadpool 7/10

Fun watch. The humor is pretty juvenile (in a good way) which makes the R-rating somewhat ironic. I can see myself and my friends getting drunk and watching the blu-ray in a few months.

Krampus is average at best

Krampus is average at best

Sounds like a period drama

Planets of the Apes (original) - 8/10

Bit heavy handed with its science vs religion.

A Tale of 2 Sisters 8/10. Deeply psychological Korean chiller. Must for horror fans.

Koreans make great horror movies, no idea why.

I've heard good things about "The Witch" (2015). Haven't seen it myself yet.

Get your filthy paw off me you damn dirty ape!

Love the original, have the collectors edition DVD, some of the sequels are worth watching too.(The old ones)

Been waiting ages to see it.

London Has Fallen (2016) - 5/10

Exactly what you think it's going to be like, so if you didn't like Olympus Has Fallen (which I think is better) then don't bother.

If, however, over the top violence and explosions make you happy then it's still good entertainment. Lots of one liners which makes for a good couple of laughs.

"If anybody but me opens the door you empty that clip into them, Mr. President"
"But what if you don't come back?"
"Then you're fscked"

Was there a directors cut of this movie?

LOL, see what you did there.

Agree with Iceman though. Reminds me of The Mist, but with a Santa Claws twist.

Watched Trollhunter a few weeks ago.

Norwegian mockumentary / found footage style about, you guessed it, Trolls and hunting them.
The premise was good enough and left me wanting to know more about the lore/universe that featured. There's definitely room for prequel and sequel to expand on.
There wasn't really any horror to it and the humour made it feel more like a comedy.
The acting and cinematography wasn't bad either and balances well with the mockumentary style of the film.

Overall, I'd give it 7/10

Solace (2016) - 7/10

Great thriller. Anthony Hopkins is awesome. That is all.

The Last Witch Hunter (2015)

This movie could have been great, but Hollywood had to make it soppy. 6/10

Under the skin (2013) 6/10

I see the movie overall has some really good reviews it's just not my cup of tea...extremely slow paced; very little dialogue & just doesn't gel. The full frontal of Scarlett Johansson was very surprising.
