In chuffing deed! Its very very good.
Just watched Jack Reacher 2: distinctly average. Not as good as the first film at all, which I enjoyed.
I think the last film I saw before this was Infinity War, which I though was ace, for that sort of film. Wish I had time to watch more films, but sadly dont
a much better film that I expected it to be..
really good fun.. and some quite funny moments in it too
It is, well, not awful, I guess. Mostly follows the basic outline of the rebooted games. Alicia Vikander (spelling?) is fine and Walton Goggins is excellent, but the overall thing is a bit flat.
Shit at trying to describe things but hopefully someone else will enjoy it from my indepth review.
Shot beautifully in 1960s Greece and Turkey it's a short, Hitchcockian style thriller with style to spare.
Available on Amazon Prime now.
Patti Cakes. Wasn't convinced at the start but ended up LOVING this film. American female wants to become a rapper.

Calibre, a Netflix Movie. A Dark tale of a hunting trip based from a remote Scottish village, that goes horribly wrong.
Gritty and tense, 7/10.
And this evening I watched Atomic Blonde. Which wasn't very good, apart from the fight scenes.
Just out of curiousity, what were the highlights of the programme?
Another one I'd never seen when it came out.
A very intense and powerful drama about drug addiction... not an easy watch, and made worse (or possibly better) by the direction style which is similarly intense and possibly overly stylised. But overall I didn't really feel any emotional connection to the characters, and it left me colder than it probably should have - there's no great revelation other than that unsurprisingly, drugs fuck you up. Probably not quite as good as I was expecting having read a fair bit about it.
7/10

@earwighoney I get a weekend pass every year. My brother discovered FrightFest before I did, if I remember right. We didn't go to the very first one in 2000, we got tickets for individual films in 2001 and 2002, then from 2003 onwards it's been weekend passes all the way. I just had to look on Wikipedia to remind myself of the history, it's amazing how much it's grown over the years, for better or worse...

We've also been to all the Halloween all-nighters, which have turned into all-dayers the last few years, unfortunately - I used to enjoy the near-hallucinatory state of watching bad horror movies at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Highlights of this year? Bearing in mind it's now 70+ films spread over 4 screens, and you can only see, at most, 25 of them, I probably missed some gems. But these were all very good:
