ketteringram Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Saw the Darkest Hour last weekend. Really enjoyed it. Even the tube part, which the critics seemed to hate. Last night saw The Shape of Water. Not really my sort of thing, though I can see how well made it is, and understand why people would love it. Personally found it completely depressing.

ilkleyram Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) The Post, tonight with Mrs Ilkley. For those of us old enough to remember the actual events an excellent film. Streep, Hanks and Spielberg are a good combination The Darkest Hour was a very good recent watch, in part because my brother in law was prominent in it as an extra, but The Commuter suspended belief a little too much Edited February 20, 2018 by ilkleyram Missed a bit Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRainy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 St Vincent, with Bill Murry. Formulaic old git helps youngster coming of age thing, but heartwarming nonetheless and worth the watch for Murry doing what he does so well. Also recently saw Skeletons for the first time, filmed in and around Bonsall, including my friends’ house. Clever idea, strong characters and a bittersweet humour; really enjoyed it.

r4derby Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Early Man - an easy to watch Aardman movie about the beautiful game in prehistoric times. I liked it, kids were ho-hum (5+ will enjoy, my 3 yr old didn’t think much of it) British comedy traits run through it. Solid 7/10 Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Rewatched Baby Driver recently, one of those films that gets better with rewatching. The action scenes are brilliant, highly recommend it to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Doomsday from 2008 a "virus outbreak" type film. Very good with some very great action sequences and a strong female lead character. 8/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just been to see Walk Like a Panther. Storyline was a bit weak and a bit cheesy but funny in parts. Overall would give it a 7.5 out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4derby Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Watched Thor Ragnarok. Probably my joint favourite Marvel film alongside the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Enjoyable. 8.5/10 (subject to change after multiple viewings) maxjam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Get out. 8/10 really good bit of fluff, not a film to live long in the memory, but enjoyable while it's playing. ViewsFromTheMiddle and IlsonDerby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Watched Darkest Hour. Not much of a film really, good portrayal by Gary Oldman but needed a better story. Cringe of a tube train scene that was like watching a kids tv program. I was excited about this probably because of how good The King's Speech was - but it's nowhere near. 6/10 Edited March 13, 2018 by Parsnip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Pat Garrett and Billy the Kidd on YouTube. Impressed with Dylan's soundtrack and surprised that he could act! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thor - Ragnarok I did enjoy it but, to be honest I'm not sure I'm on board with the new wisecracking Thor and the feel & tone of this film being similar to Gardians of the Galaxy. I think I preferred it when Thor wasn't purely playing it for laughs. Still a 7/10 for me though. I could watch Cate Blanchet and Tom Hiddlestone all day long.

Wolfie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Murder on the Orient Express I love the old 70's & 80's Agatha Christie films - especially Peter Ustinov ones, so have been looking forward to this one for a while. Obviously because of this, I knew whodunnit but the story was darker than the original (from memory). Good stuff: Direction & Camera work Depiction of Poirot's OCD Great cast with loads of stars Bad stuff: Some dodgy CGI with the exterior scenes Distracting Moustache! 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my joint favourite Marvel film alongside the first Guardians of the Galaxy. Enjoyable. 8.5/10 (subject to change after multiple viewings) Got Thor Ragnorak on blu-ray the other day, that and the 2 Guardians of the Galaxy movies are the best Marvel movies imo as well The last 2 movies I've watched however are Black Panther at the cinema and Wonder Woman that has just come on Sky. I'd probably give BP 5/10 and WW 1/10 - and a don't believe the PC hype warning. I'm all for equality of all kinds but promoting these as wonderful movies because of the actors/directors/underlying messages etc doesn't make them good movies. Wonder Woman was as poor a movie as I've seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thor: Ragnarok. I thought it was bloody good fun, even the missus enjoyed it and she doesn't tend to be in to the super hero stuff although Hemsworth might have had something to do with it. I propose we change the rating system from a number/10 system to a comparable Derby player. With that in mind I give Thor: Ragnarok a solid Jeff Hendrick.
