Last Film You Watched

Black Mass, thought it was interesting, especially to see if Johnny Depp's make up was going to last.

Disappointing double-header: from memory American Werewolf in London & Event Horizon were strong 8/10 films. But almost 20 years of occasional film-buffery later watching them a second time reveals both to be cheesy, somewhat boring, badly-scripted, cheaply-acted and stupidly-plotted. There was the odd moment of good stuff: the werewolf-transformation is still impressive, and there's some nice-looking atmospheric shots in Event Horizon.

4/10 each...not particular recommended.

Watched bone tomahawk...pretty boring other than the final 30mins or so...

Ex machina....how obvious is that movie

3/10 for each due to the nudity.

Blancanieves.

Fantastic Spanish silent film. A retelling of Snow White set around bull fighting in 1920s Seville. Hugely overlooked as The Artist landed before it, this handsome, funny and bold little gem is, I reckon, a better film and a more rounded and successful tribute to the golden age of silent cinema. It's on Amazon Prime for a couple of days. Highly recommended.

Tries too hard to be jack nicholson it it. Didn't particularly like it, meself.

And I kept thinking his mate in it was 'Beef' off 'House of fools'.

I have to agree Doc,I loved both films when they were released but after watching them recently they were not quite the polished article I thought they were,still worth a watch but certainly only in the mid range score out of 10

Eh the paranormal activity movies weren't for me. half the film is just a tour of their house ffs than something moves a bit. some other good shouts in here though
