Bob Arctor Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Heathers. I watched this loads of times when I was a teenager and was feeling nostalgic for it so gave it another watch. Aside from the (intended) daftness of the plot I really enjoyed it. It is funny and very well-written, some of the lines still sound great, including the excellent "The football season is over, Veronica. They had nothing left to offer the school but date rapes and AIDS jokes". A very good comment on the nastiness of high school kids to each other and an eerie foretelling of the high school massacres that followed. Also some full-on 80s outfits. It works really well as a film that was made in the 80s, in that it's totally of it's time. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Dont Hang Up 7/10 I didnt expect much from this but it was actually quite good. Its a decent story (apart from a couple of plot holes), well acted, gory and entertaining. Winchester 7/10 Its not scary but it is a decent ghost story. Interesting that its inspired by true events too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RescueDiver Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I watched The Gift at the weekend, again, and it has had mixed reviews on here but I have to say, that was a brilliant ending and not one to be expected. Several twists and turns and I don't know who thought that ending up, but obviously they are slightly twisted. Well worth watching in my opinion.

xxALxx Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Overlord - I like my horror films and this started out as a decent idea but it just didn't really get going & basically seemed to steal some plot points from elsewhere (like Aliens & even Incredible Hulk etc). Not been a good run of horror films recently. Halloween wasn't great & Hereditary was absolutely abysmal & will be straight to the 50p bins when it gets released on DVD.

mickey finn Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 White Boy Rick, based on the true story about Richard Wershe, the youngest ever FBI informant and cocaine dealer, had high hopes for this but turned out a bit of a disappointment, not even Matthew McConaughey could lift it out of the doldrums, 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The Darkest Hours - surprisingly had me close to tears at some points. 8/10 Jurassic World - 7/10, a film that Pratt actually seems to look good in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Maze Runner - The death cure. Total cliched guff from start to finish. I can't think of anything good about it. 1/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Why did you watch it? We watched the 1st one and realised that they were nonsense and would only get worse! Mortal Engines - lacking in any plot or depth, but sort of fun CGI city sized violence. 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hardly been in for 3 weeks so when I did have a couple of hours to burn a film seemed a good idea. The tinfoilhat collective picked that so that it was, or sit on my own watching summat else.

nikki-red Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Bait - 5/10 If you like well scripted, well acted films with great storylines and excellent special effects then this wont be for you. The same applies if you dont like shark movies or ex Home and Away actors.But if you just fancy a bit of silly throwaway fun then give it a go.
