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!

Jason Bourne

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.

    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
