The story kinda drags out for 2 hours, should have been around 95-105 minutes. I like the setting of the story - but if you pay close attention you can see scenes taken in the US and China are linked together.
I'd agree. I found it quite off-putting: so much narcissism. Some good stuff but on the whole I found it uncomfortable to watch.
The Grey - 3/10
I could barely understand a word that Liam Neeson said, other than the swearing!
I've always liked him but lately he seems to be the same person in every role, and this got so predictable, I stopped caring long before the end,

I saw this a few months back and found it really depressing! Brilliant in parts but with a truly, truly hopeless ending ... or rather an ending without hope.

It certainly was!
In fairness, that's one of things I'd say in its favour - it didn't go for the typical Hollywood ending; instead it ended in the only way it could really, imo.

I was just so peeved at seeing
the guy who played Milton in TWD die second from last
The Square - a documentary chronicling the Egyptian revolution in 2011 to the coup d'etat in 2013 - why did the revolutionaries want to get rid of Mubarak? What happened afterwards? What now? Insightful. Must see. 9/10
Violet - a visual film with minimal dialogues + plot. Tough film to sit through despite being only 82 minutes long. Some of those static shots were not easy to keep the audiences awake. 3/10
This was on Crackle UK before it was recently closed down. The plot was OK and the effects were good for their time because they were done by legendary special effects specialist Ray Harryhausen.
Verdict = 6/10 (and much better than the 2008 Keanu remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still)

was ok, didn't find it scary, just the ending,,i think it was cos i set the timer and it missed the opening up to it and i couldn't get into it ^_^
I saw this on the cinema and it was much easier to get into the mood, I remember getting a couple of shocks.
White House Down , 6
Encino Man , 5
Kristin's Christmas Past (2013) 5
Fever Mounts At El Pao (La fièvre monte à El Pao) (1959) 7.5/10

At least 8/10 for me: I really enjoyed it
It is not as good as the original.
"frights" slapped on with bricklayer trowel. formulaic. lots of ideas pinched from other movies ......
8/10
Affectionate tribute to silent cinema. The dog should have won an Oscar.
The Woman In Black is about as scary as an episode of Scooby Doo.
2 living legends in Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on opposite sides of the law.

Very much a filmed stage play.

The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973) Head scratching surreal Polish shenanigans. Terry Gilliam meets Freud meets David Lynch. 8/10 Blu ray import
