Movie review thread...

Watched "Life" last night. Trailer looked good. Cast was great. Alien horror film? Love them.
This was a bit shit. They basically made Alien, but without the tension. Seriously, half a dozen people are trapped in a space station with an unknown life form that is actively trying to kill them, and i was bored? How do you fuck that up?
The fact they gave the alien the ability to do pretty much what ever was required of it at the time sort of fucked the whole thing up. And who new space stations were so easy to get in and out of?
As for the ending...
Two angry starfish out of 5 doomed scientists

@mariner4life haha yep, an alien piece of gum!

Yeah I watched that and even the mrs noticed it was a lame Alien rip off full of some of the most retarded characters ever.
I also watched 'The Warrior's' last night. ( 70s gang movie not the shitty loigue team ). Dated and full of bad acting but still pretty entertaining. Why didn't they a) steal a couple of cars and/or b ) take their fucken vests off ?

Watched The Light Between Oceans the other night. Pretty intensely emotional movie, thought it was really well done. I'm told not as good as the book, but movies never are. It hit a bit close to home for the better half so she struggled with it a bit (emotionally).

@mariner4life One of my pet peeves with sci-fi movies is that even if they are "hard sci-fi" (i.e. some of the physics are correct), they still treat biology and chemistry as magic.
I assume that the "ooh, a new life form, better stick my finger in it" scene didn't help.

Warriors is awesome. But some of those "gangs" were comical. What about the dudes dressed up as mimes. Wouldn't that strike fear into your heart.
Some of the fight scenes are really cool.

Yeah most of them were to be honest. Theres a good fun PS2 game that the stepson downloaded on the PS4 as well. Great entertainment.

This and 'The Wanderers', great films of my VCR rental youth.
The Wanderers book is really good.

Brawl on Cell Block 99
Starts a bit on the slow side, but once it gets going is brutal AF.
Was odd seeing Vince Vaughan in this type of role but thought he did it well.
3.5 caved in skulls out of 5 broken bones
