What film did you watch last night?

Legend - 3/10

Given the subject matter I'm amazed how boring this was. Very well shot and visually authentic but totally let down by a stereotypical performance from Hardy. He's a good looking chap, but he's no actor which I'd suspected since I saw Locke and had confirmed by the end of Legend.

I have to agree, I like Hardy but it seems all his roles are just Tom Hardy playing Tom Hardy, from bronson to the take to peaky blinders, its basically the same character.

He's basically Jason Statham with hair.

I was thinking an angerier Keanu Reeves...

I see where you're coming from but don't quite agree. Keanu is a blank canvas so at least you can imagine him how you'd like. Hardy is always in swaggering cockney hardman mode so there's little scope beyond what he presents.

Ravenswood - an Australian thriller. Enjoyable and quite exciting. 7/10

Funny, I thought I recognised the main actor from other films/TV and was surprised to see that he hails from my home town: Brentwood. I don't know him, though.

Harrigan, Steven Thompkinson as a 70's Geordie detective.

Half decent, 5/10.

"Left Behind"

Just terrible, but I found myself unable to stop watching. Also, the main character's name is "Ray".

Which is short for "Rayford".

Everest

6/10

Beautifully shot but that's about it. A great cast is hampered by a duff script which hammers in far too many clichés. The montage at the end is weird and unnecessary.

Nothing last night but watching Rio Bravo with John Wayne, Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. (and Stumpy)
Can't beat "The Duke"

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Watched San Andreas yesterday, pretty bland

 

[NorthernDave]

The Drop - decent enough Gangster flick, although by the time the twist arrived it was pretty obvious. Glad I didn't pay to see it at the cinema, but perfectly watchable on a Sunday afternoon.

[QUOTE 3914716, member: 9609"]Winter's Bone
very good but didn't leave me feeling very uplifted - tough people in a tough community. After watching the film I went to explore the area that it was set and filmed in Ozark Mountains - sure enough it looks very similar to the film with many ramshackle type buildings with scrap cars and trucks dotted here there and everywhere, I would guess if google earth had sounds you would be able to here the dogs barking.[/QUOTE]
It is a good film, but yes, don't watch it if you're feeling down.

Watched John Wick with Keanu Reeves, didn't mind it, was ok to turn your brain off and chill to lots of headshots for hour and 40 minutes.

Unstoppable: was expecting rubbish and it was rubbish, but had it on as a background movie.
Old School: was expecting a good movie but it was trash. Not sure what I found so funny the first time I saw it.

 

[Tin Pot]

Jurassic Park III

Watched one and two earlier in the week introducing the series to my son, and the third yesterday - may see World tomorrow.

It's been fun, III is pretty good, lots of jumps, acting is ok and the boy enjoyed it.

Interstellar. Still can't decide if it was any good or not but it certainly made me think.
