What was the last film you watched

We're just back from a lunchtime showing of "Civil War" in the Reel Cinema, Chorley.
The premise is that both California and Texas have seceded from the union as the President has given himself a third term. It's set not too far in the future. The main characters are war correspondents and photographers.
I'd give it 7 or 8 out of 10.
 
Forgetting Sarah Marshall

One of those late 00's rom-coms starring Jason Segel and Russel Brand that's half decent because of the cast (Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill etc. and more importantly Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell). Never quite got Jason Segel as a leading man though, nothing against him, but I don't get it.

Anyway, a pass the time movie that's not awful, but not exactly deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of SJH.

6/10

:ban:.

Or at least a thread ban for bringing it into disrepute.
 
Late Night With The Devil

Horror movie showing found footage of a 70's late night talk show, where to boost ratings, the host brings an allegedly possessed girl on to the show.

It's a bit different, not very scary for me, but overall it's a good film

8/10
 
Napoleon.

Very well done, albeit from an article or two I read about it, strays way from the actual historical facts - which is a shame (same as anything, even the pop star ones like Elvis) because if you are going to do a film about a true character, you should surely have to follow the factual scrips OR make it clear what is fact and what is fiction.
 
Hundreds of Beavers.

It's insane. It's a zany comedy from a couple of years ago but I'd never heard of it till now. It's all in black & white and is virtually silent other than quirky music, sound effects and the frustrated grunting of the main character.

It's like a cross between Charlie Chaplin, Monty Python and Trigger Happy TV.

Completely nuts but I really enjoyed it.

Synopsis - "A drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America's greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers."
 
Barbarian

Horror film. Young woman books an Air B&B only to find a guy staying there already claiming he'd booked it already.

Won't go too much into it but it definitely doesn't go in the direction you think its going in the opening 15 minutes.

Very much enjoyed it. On amazon prime if anyone's interested.
 
The Ritual

British horror about a group of old college friends who go hiking in Sweden and find themselves being stalked by something sinister.

Really enjoyed it and found it quite unsettling in parts. 8/10
 
Dark Waters

True story about a defence lawyer who goes up against Dupont, a corporation that's being polluting the water and endangering people's lives. It's a really interesting film, I never knew about the dangers of Teflon before. Stars Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins.

9/10
 
I watched Grown Ups II with the kids tonight, after we watched Grown Ups at the weekend. Both brilliant family films with lots of laugh out loud moments for me, and hundreds for the kids. I do like Adam Sandler films though and I know many don't. I can only give these ones 8/9 out of 10 though, as I'm always using Happy Gilmore as a benchmark.
