Agreed - loved how you never knew the truth - then the ending was unexpected and, as my fiance said, "right up my alley"

See, that to me got old.  It was okay at first.. but then it was too much  "Truth.. lie.. maybe? Definitely the truth, nope must be a lie, well I dunno. "  Then the ending.. I was like: Uh.. make the whole movie about THAT not the lead up to it...

I love movies on actual events, and real people. Free State of Jones did not disappoint. I'm adding this one to my list of reasons on why movie goers should take caution when reading the reviews of critics. 8/10

Almost two and a half hours long, however, it felt like it was only half that time. I actually wanted more. I don't usually say that about long movies.

It was 2:19:55 to be exact. Credits included. Actual movie was about 2:15:00. When you lose track of time, the movie's good. :yes:

How can you say thats too long if you havent seen the movie ?  Length(time) is relative.  If it is the best movie you've ever seen - it wouldnt seem that long, and you would want more.
If it was the last movie ever to be made of a series you have loved - you wouldnt want it to end.

If its horrible, 2 minutes is too long.

A commendable performance by Fatfleck, enough to carry the movie, a lot of franchise opportunity. However, there were a couple of misses for me:

 

1. Not enough backstory into the accountant and his OCD, why, etc.  This was an origin story, but didnt feel like It

2. Cummings was under played IMO

3. No info on who british lady (again sequel I guess)

4. Such a big deal was made out of the trailer, yet no other info was given

5. The estranged brother relationship was not explained.

 

All in all, for the whole i'd say nice sunday movie flick  7/10

Seeing as Drive and Only God Forgives, both were awesomesauce. However Nicolas Winding Refn, seems to rely a we bit into flashing shock moments in your face, don't get me wrong, the intro, with the flashing lights, was superbly executed, if I had watched in the cinema I wouldve probably gone into epileptic shock. the plot is severely lacking, as well as character development.

 

5/10

Alice, Through the Looking Glass

7/10

Surprisingly good, as it wasn't a movie I would have normally watched

Agreed, I felt a bit short and lagged a bit with the time bit, but really watchable, someone though, I feel the movie should be named (as the first one as well) Mad Hatter through the looking glass.

Gringo the Dangerous life of John McAfee.

 

Only half way through watching this and wow, holy ####ing wow!

 

I knew he'd lost the plot at some point, but it goes waaaaay back, and much deeper/darker than I ever thought.

 

He's like some sort of Film, TV Show, Comic book, genius, psycho, philanthropist, bad guy.

 

I don't know what to make of it/him.

 

I admire his tenacity and success, but at the same time, he's one twisted mother f###er.

 

That much money, and therefor power, in the hands of... not your average Joe... Well, there will be some stories to tell, at the very least.

5 out of 5

 

A really fantastic movie, showing us how much we filter what we say around our children.

 

"In the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous physical and intellectual education is forced to leave his paradise and enter the world, challenging his idea of what it means to be a parent."

Star Trek Beyond

Ok so I've already seen it, but I bought it to complement the other 2, a good movie, great little easter eggs for trekkies, I personally felt some parts of the movie had a very Babylon 5 'feel' to it, but that's not a bad thing as I liked B5

I loved this movie, the acting was amazing, it felt like you were right there in the time period with them. The only part I didn't really like was

 

The whole second half of the movie with them going back and forth between the trial, it took me some time to figure out who was on trial and for what, it just kind of seemed out of place!

 

I just finished watching

Very well done movie, I would give it 9/10 just because there were a few things that were not explained!

5/10

 

Wasn't brilliant, just wasn't bad, his earlier Bourne movies were better

I watched that last night, I have been a fan of the series so got the digital collection.   I thought it was a good continuation of the franchise. 

 

Spoiler

I was thinking this might have been the grand finale' closing off the series but It did not appear that way in the end.

 

I would rate it 7/10,  better than the previous film, but not as the  others.

At a glance, I didn't see a place to share which TV shows you might currently be watching, so I thought I'd just stick this in here..

 

Horace and Pete

I've only watched the first episode, and while it wasn't what I was expecting, I think I'm gonna like it.

 

Also, check out Louie if you're interested. His stand-up comedy is great too.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
