What film did you watch last night?

[threebikesmcginty]

Just seen Shaun the Sheep with the kids, not that you need to take kids, great fun.

 

[Big Nick]

John Wick, a bit pants but tons of action and a high body count!

 

[AndyRM]

Moon.

A rewatch, but I'd forgotten enough of it to play it again. One of my favourites - great performances from Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey, a good story, and terrific production design and direction, as well as a lovely score from Clint Mansell.

This scene in particular got me on this watch.

If you've not seen it, don't read anything about it, and go watch it as soon as you can.

Clint Mansell is a musical wizard. Lux Aeternal is up there with the very best pieces of modern classical music.

The Last Emperor (1987) Last film I saw by myself, as I went from the film to a restaurant for a meeting, where I met Mrs. GA for the first time.

Watched Dom Hemmingway on Saturday,great film with an excellent turn from Jude Law.

Maze runner. More a film for the younger generation, but not bad. Lots of CGI, but low on story and content. And there will obviously be a second fim. This could get very boring, very quickly. At the end of this film, i still don't know what its about. Maybe it will Become as clear as mud In the second film.

A bit of a waste of nearly 2 hours. 6/10

I saw it on a plane, so had a couple of hours to spare - rather better than expected, well enough acted and looked great. Perhaps derivative of, say, cube, but will have to.watch the sequels to make any sense of it, but I'm intrigued enough to do so. Perhaps marginally better than Hunger games. 6/10 is about right.

I preferred hunger games. Films like this are very good for family viewing once you outgrow frozen and incredibles but before they can appreciate reservoir dogs

I agree with the hunger games. I enjoyed that. Maybe the second maze runner will be better. I may be a bit biased simply becuase at the end, I was no nearer to an answer.

Disconnected. Bleak but brilliant portrayal of lives damaged, even destroyed, by the Internet in various ways. Powerful viewing.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

The Frozen Ground. Quite difficult emotionally (for me) at times to watch but equally enthralling 7/10.

Alaska Trooper Jack Holcombe believes Robert Hansen is a serial killer who abducts young girls, tortures and sexually assaults them, then kills them. But Holcombe doesn't have enough evidence to get a search warrant for Hansen's premises. Holcombe knows that one victim, Cyndy Paulsen, somehow survived, so he decides to seek her help, but he finds that she's now a junkie with trust issues. Holcombe has to earn her trust; meanwhile, Hansen is still hunting and killing girls.

It's reckoned the guy raped, tortured and murdered in excess of 30 girls, 'only' 17 bodies were found.

 

[Yellow Fang]

I watched 12 o' Clock High. Gregory Peck attempted to raise the morale of a squadron of B17s. Not bad, but not as good as I thought it would be.

 

[david k]

Kingsman

 

[Drago]

Lone Survivor. Looked all set to be a bloodfest(and it was) but a surprisingly touching plot twist at then end made the true-ish story quite endearing.
