That's the last super hero movie for me for a while though.

I'm actually interested in seeing Deadpool 2 to be honest.

Every second new movie on the torrent sites are horror films and they are mostly garbage

aye, its also the easiest Genre to make, horror i.e so every tom, dick and harry with a camera can make a horror movie for less than $200 but that doesn't mean people call the whole genre shit because they saw some low budget shit ..i don't watch low budget horror movies, most turn out to be slasher films which i honestly despise..we prefer poltergeist, paranormal activity and exorcist type films, not SAW, Hotel or the texas chainsaw type shitty movies..they should really create a new category for those shitty films..... the last low budget "horror" movie i saw was A MONSTER PROJECT and it was 10 times greater than all the slasher films combined.. and yet it won't still make my top10 horror movies list ..

Watched IT at cinema 6 Suva, I don't know what scared the fcuk out of me most, the surrounding area or the movie

Nah it was good, came out a week before NZ too

uhmmm...FÙCK OFF, WE ARE FULL!!!


yeah suva isn't the best place to watch movies at night.....

Too late! yeah I ended up with about 5 trinkets from the local hawkers on the way back. I had the sense to wear a Crusaders top and talk about Tamanivalu and Matiele, safe as mate....

Don't you dare knock Cinema 6 Suva! Fond memories...

If you thought the surrounding area was scary, imagine walking back through there to the City Private hotel on Robertson Road in the early hours of the morning after Flagg got me very, very drunk... In hindsight not the cleverest idea but no hassle, no bother and nothing but friendly people. Man I miss Fiji...

Watched "The death of Stalin" on the weekend, f**king brilliant.

Jason Isaacs was brillant as Marshall Zhukov. Best character in the film.

WTF. Arnie will be turning in his grave.

'In the Fade' is quite good, albeit a little eyebrow raising at times.

Watched Ex Machina last night. 10/10. Brilliant movie.

Yes, one of the best I've seen these last few years.

What's the soundtrack like? Josh Homme and Troy van Leeuwen did it. Not sure how they got attached to the project, but QOTSA did have a song years back called "In the Fade" which doesn't feature in the film.

I thought I recognised QOTSA playing in the background. Other than 1 song in a grocery store I can't say the soundtrack stood out much.

didn't think it looked too bad to me - is it canon then, or a straight remake, as the premise seems to be a follow on not a remake ?

Really? I thought it was a decent, if predictable sci Fi that didn't live up to the hype.

Looks an absolute stinker.
Seems it has very little/none of what made the original work.

So I watched Legend.
A dreadfully uneven movie, particularly towards the last third. Hardy's good, but not doing anything outside of his comfort zone with either role.

The film has nothing incisive to say about gangster lifestyle, and is really very paint by numbers once you get over the twin gimmick. Though, again, the final third is hamfisted and crass.

Then again, it's always fun watching Tom Hardy be shouty and it's not that boring of a film.

As with ex machina, I thought it was too derivative.
Most sci Fi retrods the same themes, but the two mentioned movies don't do anything that remarkable with them.

He's still got it, really enjoyed the nice guys.
That trailer looks so Marvel-y and sanitised though.

Any idea of what the age cert is?

Yeah I'd agree. I'm a real sucker for sci fi though , find I can happily consume the same themes in different formats

Have you seen Primer? One of my favourite films. Really thought provoking sci fi.

Boyd Holbrook Olivia Munn Keegan-Michael Key

Probably will be awful though.

I know that I'll still go see it and be underwhelmed, but that'll be somewhat offset cuz Predators are cool!

Would you stop. Ex machina is excellent. Great performances. One of the best I've seen in years. Love that stone cold ending.

Annihilation could have done with a bit more ambiguity in the ending.

No, I'll have to check it out.
I go into Sci-Fi movies expecting them to riff on familiar themes, but Ex Machina and Annihilation didn't do enough with the stories they told for me to be blown away.

Finally got around to watching Sicario.
Holy Moly, best thriller I've seen in a long time.

Yes! Something positive!

The sequel is out soon, pray to whatever deity is listening that it's a worthy continuance.

Watched the trailers, doesn't look like it will be.
There's a "Save the Daughter" plot there that just seems poor enough.

Also, no Deakins or Villeneuve is a big deal.

I'm going to go all Floppykid and KidA on this one - Sicario is hugely overrated.

Good film, but not the masterpiece it's claimed to be.

The only great Villeneuve film is Incendies...

Arrival, Sicario and Enemy were decent.
Prisoners was claptrap and Blade Runner was beautiful but dull.

Well I thought it was the dogs bollocks.
Fantastic performances, relentless plot, pacing and directing. The set pieces are something else.

Just a thriller without an ounce of fat on it.

Spoiler: show

That tunnel scene and its entire night vision run up was so intense.
Almost otherworldly the way it was shot.
The ending was brutal.

Yeah, proper heart of darkness stuff.

Incendies is clearly his best but the ones you mention are all up there. Prisoners = claptrap???? You have high standards. If anybody hasn't seen 'Polytechnique' I'd urge them to. Next to 'Elephant' it's one of the most realistic, terrifying portrayals of school shootings I've seen.

Yeah maybe a bit harsh on 'Prisoners' but I expected a lot more.

It was too long and the script wasn't great. Plus Jackman seemed out of his depth...

watched GAMENIGHT. not bad for a comedy ... 7.5/10

While I thought Gyllenhaal stole the show in it, I thought Jackman was pretty good.
