inamac loves this film, so it was definitely time to stick it in the player ( Read more... )

I bought the DVD copy of Ex Machina last June, and we have only just got around to watching it, mainly because we were never previously in the mood ( Read more... )

Watching 'Ant-Man'. Makes even less sense than the comics. Never have been able to stand Scott Lang - and Hope isn't a patch on Jan (who would have given this version of Hank hell for this caper.) It's also bloody misogynistic - "It proves that he loves you." (No, it proves that the people who wrote this script think women are only there as ( Read more... )

I finally saw 'Gravity' several years after everyone else. I regret not seeing it on the big screen, but no regrets at all for missing the 3D version. If a film can't hold up on the TV screen in 2D then it is not worth seeing in the first place ( Read more... )

Watching the DVD of Hansel and Gretel:Witch Hunters (£3 in Sainsbury last week.) Cripes! A candidate for the worst movie I've seen in many years. Renner is pretty, but, oh, that ridiculous posing with the BIG GUN (sorta.) The dialogue is just one cliche piled on another cliche, most of which are pure 20th/21st Century ( Read more... )

Perhaps I went in with too high expectations - I am a great fan of the current comics interpretation of the Guardians - but after the over the top critical reaction to Iron Man 3 (which I really, really disliked, primarily because of a dreadful script devoid (we are told) of any ad libs by RDJ that took superb material and debased it) I do not ( Read more... )
