Dad's Army
Very good cast, reasonable story, Gambon is perfect, Nighy just a tad too down register, Toby Jones is often very good as Mainwaring but somehow doesn't click. Daniel Mays is very good as Walker and there is a strong supporting cast. Tom Courtenay as Jones just strikes the wrong note, too subdued.

Overall a fun film but left me feeling disappointed but not really sure why.

Do you think it's maybe flogging a dead horse? Apart from being repeated almost non-stop, there was also the BBC dramatisation of how it came to be written and aired and now a full length film.

Toby Jones doesn't do anything for me - he just seems to play the same character in different clothes and wigs. His most meaningful expression is that downcast eyes and mouth - slightly surprised - look what life's thrown at me. And he uses it constantly.

The Martian.

6/10 expected more.

 

[Bechet]

Yeah, acting was terrible and the story left a lot to be desired.

It's a WARNING!!! and not a story!

 

[Nishy]

Rounders, one of the best poker films.
The Revenant very good cinematic shots
Creed hmmm gave up half way through

The Martian.

6/10 expected more.

I loved it, found it very impressive and absorbing, even allowing for the re-invention of some Laws of Physics.

That would depend on your perspective of what a dystopian future would look like. Hunger Games could be a warning and it was rubbish too.

 

[Uncle Bertie]

Cloud Atlas is a warning, just a very long convoluted one.

I thought the BBC dramatisation was pretty good and arguably John Sessions who played Arthur Lowe / Capt. Mainwairing knocked it out of the ballpark. The new films makers in my mind should be kicking themselves.

Proven again that we are all individuals with their own taste ;-)
And good it is like that

Just watched "Victor Frankenstein [Meet your makers]" (2015).
Yes, yet another movie about the Frankenstein monster - this time told through the eyes of Igor.

It was a slightly different take on the well known story.
What kept the film afloat was the great acting and wonderful set designs.
The movie itself..was a rather slow, predictable and uneventful piece.

I'd give it a 5.5/10

The question is, maybe, do we really need more Frankenstein movies?

I watched the trailer yesterday. Not sure about it. Gonna give it a try this evening tho.

Deadpool.

Very funny in parts, and a very different (in a good way) method of presenting the film. Well worth a watch. 8.5/10

Was it seriously unsuitable for teenagers under 16?

Was it seriously unsuitable for teenagers under 16?

Lots of references to sex, drugs and nudity. Certainly no worse than they'd find online, or in The Sun, but still, it does depend how much younger and your tolerance to them seeing certain things

Cheers Nick - yeah, I'm not the sort to wrap up the young lad in cotton wool and put my hands over his eyes every time a pair of tits is flashed on the telly.

There's a few falsies on screen at times.
