šŸ“½ Films I have seen

Warcraft - it was ok, I suppose, if you like Orks.

Dunno Bear, everyone loved Matt Damon in The Talented Mr Ripley and he was offing people like on a weekly basis and getting away with it. Agree about Shawshank sex scenes though!

Went to see Ghostbusters myself today. Think Super Michael was a tad harsh in his review. Itā€™s a better movie than Ghostbusters II, for a start. Didnā€™t mind the plot - Iā€™ve seen some of Paul Feigā€™s work with Melissa McCarthy before.

I watched the Half in the Bag re-review of the original. I havenā€™t seen their review of this yet. They hold the original in huge regard. They love the sarcastic humour, its quotability. They also say that like Robocop and Total Recall, theyā€™re movies that didnā€™t need to be rebooted. Iā€™ve seen Total Recall, and gave up on Robocop halfway through. Iā€™m sort of offended they exist, whereas Iā€™m actually pretty glad this movie does.

It made me laugh. I think it got the mix of science and comedy right. Iā€™m glad that they didnā€™t do a beat for beat retread. The characters are close enough to the originals to be familiar, different enough to be interesting. Kirsten is an Egon Ronay ashamed of her friends. McCarthy is definitely the Spengler of the piece. McKinnon is Venkman channelling the A-Teamā€™s Murdoch. The fourth Ghostbuster seems a lot more fleshed out too.

sorry thatā€™s Being John Malkovich

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Bittersweet, edgy humour, well acted and just a great wee film. Watch this film.

Just watched Sacha Baron Cohenā€™s AKA Ali Gā€™s latest offeringā€¦ Grimsby.

A lot of Elephant cum and tea bagging so should suit Bearsy a treat!!

Pretty average but some LOL moments as youā€™d expect.

Everest.

A film of the storm in the late 90ā€™summer that proved to be one of the worst weekends in the mountains history.

Josh Brolin is the biggest name. Stunning cinematography, gripping adaptation of a true story and amazing that Base Camp was such a disorganised money grabbing cluster fuck back then yet so many people tried to step up and be heroes.

An off the radar film VERY worth catching on TV or wherever.

Oh and being a day ahead of the planet I have to tell you all to go see Star Trek Beyond this weekend. If nothing else it WILL stop Pap moaning about the new reboot for ST least 10 minutes

Showing off you flash Git.

You either paid $5 to watch it On Demand OR you saw it on the plane!

So then, the new Ghostbusters movie. I enjoyed it and there are some good moments, but really, why bother unless you are going to serve up something new and different. The only different thing about it is the female leads. Best bits for me were the (many) nods to the original films.

I liked this too D_P. Iā€™m a sucker for mountains.

If you like mountains then you should really watch the film linked below. No longer available on Iplayer but if it reappears well worth 90 mins of your life:

if you like Chinese and black people who have to fight triads and do it all in good humour then you should watch Rush Hour 3
