So it’s taken 20 years for a sequel to come out to the amazing Trainspotting, which is quite frankly one of the greatest British films of all time. Thing is this fits with the books as there’s a big time gap between Trainspotting and the sequel book. I read a bit about this film and it seems there were mainly two types of opinions people who thought, what is the point in this film? And people who loved the nostalgia the film threw at them. Then there’s the people who thought it was decent in it’s own right but not a touch on the original. So I guess you better read to find out which camp I fall into!
movie review
Wonder Woman (2017) Review
DC Comics has needed a hit since the Batman trilogy finished, Batman Vs Superman was a big disappointment for a lot of people with it’s massively slow pace and a lot of strange story decisions as well as plot holes. I quite enjoyed Suicide Squad although it’s dialogue was poor at times with it’s forced quips and smart arse comments. Superman, well those films have just sucked big time. With Justice League approaching and Marvel films continuing to produce quality films Wonder Woman needs to be a success, early critic reviews and screening opinions seem to agree it’s great.
Alien Covenant (2017) Review
After seeing the trailers for this film I wasn’t that excited at all, I felt the last film was a huge let down although I didn’t think it was as bad as some people did. With some time to spare before a comedy show me and the missus decided we might as well give this a go at the cinema. Being as Alien was a horror and this film has some horror elements I thought I may as well review it so here it is…..
Get Out (2017) Review
This film has been hyped a lot recently and received loads of praise, so much that I’ve only seen one person so far say that they weren’t keen everyone else seems to love this. I’ve been wanting to see this for ages and finally got to, loads of hype and praise silly as it may sound can be off putting, surely people are exaggerating how good this is?
The Cottage (2008) Review
I fancied a bit of horror comedy to watch on a Sunday afternoon and this one had some how passed me by when it was initially released. Starring Reece Shearsmith and Andy Serkis I had a good idea it’d be a decent watch. There’s quite a few decent British horror comedies about so I sat down to give it a watch.
The Void (2016) Review
I’d seen/watched a couple of reviews for this film, one saying it didn’t deserve the quotes on the poster and how it was a terrible movie. The second review I saw claimed it was one of the best horror films they’d seen in a while. So two very different opinions, I love it when that happens as it makes me want to watch it to see who I side with. Combine that with a lot of credit for the practical effects and I was excited to get this film watched.
Split (2016) Review
As with most people M Night Shyamalan has had a very hit and miss career churning out some highly praised films in Sixth Sense and Unbreakable along with some that get totally slated. He loves a good old twisty ending and some people consider his attempts at that twisty ending to be predictable and therefore kind of ruining the film. Personally I loved Devil but I think he only had a small hand in the story of that. Anyway I’d fancied this since I first heard it was coming out as I’m a fan of James McAvoy, so here’s my thoughts.
The Taking Of Deborah Logan (2014) Review
I was looking for something to watch and after listening to a couple of reviews on www.BleedingCritic.com I decided to give this film a watch. I’ve always been partial to a found footage style film add in some demon possession along with Bleeding Critic’s review praising the film and I was looking forward to this.
The Sand (2015) Review
I sat down last night and didn’t have anything to watch there was the usual reality job shows on TV like Can’t Pay We’ll Take It Away and Police Interceptors. Along with the usual repeats of QI, Mock The Week and other comedy panel shows on Dave. I flicked to the horror channel and saw “The Sand” was on, I remember reading about it ages ago it sounded like a fun B movie with a silly but decent idea. The beach was eating people! So why not sit down and give it a watch.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) Review
So we got a bit of a break from the Resident Evil reviews when I posted my review of Train To Busan (2016) but now it’s time to see what I thought of the fourth Resident Evil film. If you want to check the others I reviewed them Here for the first one, Here for the second one and Here for the third one.
