Batman vs Superman....meh I expected it to be pretty slim on quality (not to be as good as a normal Batman or Superman movie, not that any of the Superman's are good anyways), I liked it but if you've not seen it and have high hopes of anything comparing to the Keaton Batman first movie and the Bale movies then you'll be disappointed. It is fun to watch though and I would watch again.

12 Years a Slave - 9/10

Very moving film about slavery in the mid XIXth century in the USA.

Brilliant acting, especially from Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyongo.

It's very depressing when you know that this was a real thing that happened to many people.

This movie should be shown in every school. A must see.

[Squirrel 5,180]

Speaking of Fassbender I've just come out of watching Assassins Creed. If you're a fan of the games wait for a decent torrent of it. Don't bother wasting any money on it. 

Non game fans might find something to like but didn't impress me.

Arrival - 9/10

Brilliant alien movie. Definitely not your typical alien movie though.

Really recommend it.

[PapOiteE 465]

Live by night.

I love gangster movies, so I had to see this one.

It's not bad, it felt a little rushed in my opinion. Dion Bartolo (Chris Messina) is the real star in this movie! 

6.5/10

[LimeGreenLegend 4,173]

Dumb and Dumber To 

-7/10

Awful.

Just absolute trash.

Shame about the sequels.

Maybe the Wachowskis should try doing more Matrix films now they're ladies.

I like the sequels, but the first is the best. I have once or twice watched all 3 back to back. I quite like the fact that I still don't totally understand what is happening in the final one

Just watched this. Definitely a film you don't understand until the end and then suddenly it all becomes clear. If you're a fan of Interstellar or Inception you'll like it.

The Witch (2016)

Positives

1. Great storytelling. Kept me guessing who the witch was--- and ultimately the final reveal is just so f*cking amazing.

2. Costumes, sets, props, locations, dialogue, all add tremendously to the realism of the 1600's setting.

3. The gore is kept to a minimum and it helps the film from being gratuitously graphic and this is coming from me, a pure gore hound.

4. All the actors performances were all class. I really believed the world they were bringing me into.

5. Constructing the dialogue from actual historical accounts recorded before, during, and after the witch trials was a strike of genius as the dialogue locked me in further to the time period. You can keep the fresh air of the 1600's, give me pollution and a PS4 instead. lol. 

6. Exposing the witch was kept to a minimum. Not like the Blair Witch Project, but the witch is established early and there is no guessing what is in those woods from the moment the family arrives. 

7. The atmosphere of the entire film really engaged me and made me feel bad for the family as they don't see what is actually ripping them apart, and it's not just the external evil.

8. The first 20 minutes are a bit slow but it is necessary to establish their Faith as religion truly controlled every single thought and behavior of that time period. 

9. Sound design was very good and in some places almost becomes a character. 

Negatives

1. People going into this strictly for the Witch will be disappointed. The film isn't about the Witch but more of why, how, and where the Witch possibly came from.

2. Not a slasher or full on horror-film and that will let you down if this is what you hoped to see. 

3. Slow burn in places might disengage people. I enjoyed having time to digest and think what was coming next.

4. Dream sequence or reality....not always clear in some places. 

5. Without subtitles some of what is said by the characters in the olde english could be lost and could cause the audience to miss special touches in the script. 

6. People might hate it because it makes Faith seem useless, but in reality, Faith isn't what fails them. Hypocrisy does.

*Final Verdict: 9/10 - I enjoyed the mental exercise the film put me through and it answered a question I didn't even know I had about witches.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

I had high expectattions after the masterpiece that was the 1st one and I was also scared it wouldn't live up to it.

Boy was I wrong ! It was as awesome as the first one !

Visually beautiful, even more than the first one ! Many scenes are stunning to look at.

What a joy to spend two hours with these characters again. They are a ton of fun. Drax is the MVP for me. I LOLed a lot because of his lines. Great dynamic with newcomer Mantis.

Rocket was awesome as usual and Baby Groot was so cuuuuuuuuute but awesome at the same time.

Gamora and Star Lord don't shine as much as the others but they're cool nonetheless.

Scenario is cool as well and there are some very emotionnal moments throughout the movie.

There are tons of cameos and easter eggs and comics references that are cooler and cooler as time goes by.

Definitely my favorite movie franchise these days by far. Can't wait to see them again in Avengers: Infinity War pt. 1 and .2 and in Guardians Vol. 3 !

 

Saw 24 of the 1 billion movies by the way

Cool review. Made me want to watch these two films----I watched the first one but really didn't "watch" it due to the Netflix and Chill scenario.

[omarcomin71 3,832]

Just watched "Aliens" again.  The awesome sequel to Ridley Scott's 1979 space horror film "Alien"  Both are so good!

I'm really excited about his new prequel "Alien: Covenant" which starts May 19th.  Links to both the Aliens movies and "Prometheus" will hopefully be answered.

Here's a tribute to the late great Bill Paxton as Hudson in the movie "Aliens"

Just come out of watching this. 

Nothing wrong with the film, some great cameos but right now I think there's too many comic book films taking up box office space. 

Trailers for this film included Justice League, Wonder Woman, Spiderman and Thor. Serious comic book overload

Obviously there were post and mid credit scenes (5 in total!) setting up more movies and introducing new characters. 

Obviously I will change my tune once Squirrel Girl gets her movie and takes out Thanos

No movie for Squirrel Girl. But she will be in the Runaways TV show next fall apparently. 

[Squirrel 5,180]

That show is focusing on her. The fans will demand a movie

Got that right. Disney is milking this stuff to death. That in turn makes everyone else grab an udder.

DC are trying really hard to kill off comic book movies!

They're doing a good job. The guys I went with are serious comic based film fans and none of us were bothered about any of DC's offerings
