Prometheus - 7/10 maybe. It was alright. Felt like a reboot of the original with much the same plot line and incidents with a new (old) crew. Given the choice I'd probably still watch the original.
Frankenweenie - 10/10, loved it, even if it did make me cry twice. Brilliant movie, would definitely recommend (to people who like animated movies at least).
Star Trek: Into Darkness - 7/10. It had an awesome build up, in my opinion. I'm not a Trekkie, but I genuinely enjoyed the movie. I felt like the ending was just completely underwhelming, and was left with a "Was that it?" feeling when leaving the cinema.
Just watched a couple of clips in Kermode's review piece on BBC News. he loved it. Looks to me like it's more of the same "running about in a shaky oil refinery" to distract from the lack of story. And a somewhat pointless baddie. Much like the first one.
Quirky verging on irritating. Christopher Plummer won loads of awards (including an Oscar) for his flashback scenes as a father who comes out as gay in his mid 70's after his wife's death and 38 years of marriage.
Alan Bennets 'The History Boys' 9/10
Had seen it before a few years ago when
it came out,but had forgotten that almost
every line of dialogue is a pure gem!
And the late Richard Griffith of course,
teamed with Frances De La Tour,as a
pair of teachers united against the insipid
and overbearing pompous headmaster,a
part brilliantly played by Clive Merrison!
Not long finished watching A Bronx Tale on TV again. never tire of that film.
I got pulled in to that film again too. What a striking resemblance the teenager had to De Niro. Very sad that he ended up in jail IRL for burglary...what a waste. Didn't heed the advice of the film
7 Psychopaths 8/10. I could watch Sam Rockwell in anything. Even Ironman.
I saw this film yesterday and I thought it was an enjoyable sci fi adventure. The writers had clearly tried to keep the characters consistent and the plot line was coherent. I thought the humour element worked and Benedict Cumberbatch did well as a menacing villain.
I watched a film called 'Vinyad' last night and it was good but weird, one of those films I think you have to watch more than once to get.
Weird ending though....

I'll wait for tv I think.
Really?? Its the best one by far methinks, hard to see what more you could expect from a film about a spider man
I'd agree it was the best one by far, and I would also agree with a score of 3/10.
Sorry was a typo- was actually no.3
Absolutely cannot fault this film, amazing acting by all especially Tom Holland who is breath-takingly incredible. Such a powerful film.
5/10

I'm pretty good with time travel films, but that one lost me completely.

This has got to be the daftest film ever
Rarely do I think movies deserve higher imdb scores, but this movie deserves higher than the 4.4 its at currently.
