The Intern

Nice girls wear Prada

(Edit) 06/03/2016

Anne is now in charge, and Robert is the intern/PA. Twist on a theme. Think the lead lady could have been, maybe would have been, a bit more hard-ball?

Hard to see how Anne's character would have been tough enough to get to the top of the pile, but quite a nice little film.

Robert starting to make just about anything that comes his way!

Dirty Grandpa looks pretty much desperation level. Not seen it yet, but the trailer does look the pits.............

360

Bit of a slow train

(Edit) 29/02/2016

Realised seen it before. Never finished watching it then either............bit of a waste of talent to be fair..........

The Legend of Barney Thomson

Emma gets old.

(Edit) 26/02/2016

Quirky little film where Emma and Ray have some fun. Little bit surreal here and there. Hard to sympathise with main character, but Emma Thompson's versatility shows through......

Solace

Hanibal sees things, in a helpful way.

(Edit) 26/02/2016

Always worth watching Anthony do his thing. Quite often without saying a word, or anything blowing up!

getting on a bit now, but still has sufficient facial expression to deliver the meaningful intent.

Colin is eerie........but he always is a bit i guess.

Bit far fetched, and often only just holding together, but holds the concentration, and quite resonable ending etc.

Hitman: Agent 47

Bang Bang Bang

(Edit) 21/02/2016

Guns and superhuman skills in killing anything that walks. Sounds familiar? Come back Sean Connery with 2 good fists.

Big Game

Sam does another film.

(Edit) 21/02/2016

Cannot remember when S Jack last did a good film? Neither can I. Would put this one in as a fairly reasonable kids film.

Game of Death

Wesley wins.

(Edit) 28/01/2016

Wesley does the thing with guns, and survives again. Do wonder if, in fact, he could be cast in more of an acting role? Maybe not in Denzel's league, but be nice if he had a chance of more drama than jumping about.

Dear White People

Racial campus cross-thread.

(Edit) 28/01/2016

Bit of a reverse racial thing. Students appear to spend all their time mooching about, and organising parties, rather than at classes, but maybe that is how they are in the States............

The Choir

Billy Elliot sings.

(Edit) 28/01/2016

Professional input from Dustin. Quite well done along the Billy Elliot theme. Interesting to compare the two films. The classic UK film against the American dialogue/TV approach.

Know which one stands out for me...............

A Chorus of Disapproval

Golden oldie

(Edit) 28/01/2016

Obviously an old and slow film by modern standards, but with such a good cast, is always worth a watch. Jeremy actually young in this one!

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

Your film, should you wish to watch it

(Edit) 24/01/2016

All good fun. More of the same. Either watch them or find them fluffy. Either like Tom Cruise, or think he is an American vertically challenged person etc.

Great on cinema kit.

Simon Pegg earning even more easy money in States, following Startrek. At least has not adopted a poor Scottish accent................

Spy

Missed Opp

(Edit) 24/01/2016

When saw trailer thought film was something else. Over reliance on continuous swearing, and the novel use of erect male appendage to gain some notoriety/interest?

Jude Law wasted....as were the others thinking about it.

Great idea, and is quite humorous along the way.

If had Statham doing his smooth Transporter persona, and Melissa complimenting with the slightly gross opposite, could have been really unique. The two of them would have been enough to carry the concept. Much simpler, more funny, and cheaper to make!

City Island

Andy goes funny

(Edit) 15/01/2016

Many mob actors go light humoured when get near retirement. Pesci, De Niro, now Andy. All great actors, so worth checking out.

Actually quite a nice little film, and Andy carries it all the way very professionally.

Hopefully one for everyone.

Star Trek Into Darkness

Number two.

(Edit) 15/01/2016

Excellent casting to get plausible follow ups for the Star Trek favourites. Simon Pegg is pretty banal to be fair, as chief engineer, mainly due to poor Scot accent.

Great fun though, and good follow up to one. Trekkies will love it. Bit weak on story etc so give it 3 rather than 4, but good fun.

Smokin' Aces

Boys day out

(Edit) 06/01/2016

Everyone in this. Bodies all over the place. Bish bosh bash. Lead flying quite a bit. If you like action, then plenty of that.
