Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Sebastiane - 1976 (IMDB entry)
7/10
An interesting study of male relationships. Notable for its dialog being in (authentic) Latin. I had a tape from when it was shown on TV (to outrage) but this was a 1080P download. If you can get past the opening dance scene for emperor Diocletian you'll watch it all.
Trivia: When asked about the film's nudity, director Derek Jarman replied "We couldn't afford costumes."

Polar - Brilliantly OTT and Nutty. I loved it! 9/10 (Casting was a bit naff, I mean come on, Matt Lucas?)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Funnily enough something happened at work on Friday which made me think about them. I enjoyed them for what they were and can remember seeing the first one at the cinema with my friends. I havent seen any of them since the last one came out which was number 5 i think and that must have been 2011 ish. As an fyi last i heard they are making a new one.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Last movie I saw was Alpha (2018)
Pretty nice and inoffensive story about a boy befriending a wolf! Was all in subtitles, as the story was set like 20,000 years ago, which was an interesting move. Thought they might just speak English and not care about historical accuracy But was glad the main wolf was not a CGI creation, as it would have fell flat. Was exciting and kept me entertained all the way through.
4/5

Escape Room (2019): 6/10
In the past I have given films 6/10 because they were on the verge of being bad or something was wrong with them. There isn't anything wrong with this film and I was happy to keep watching it to see what happened because it kept your on the edge of your seat. The only thing which stopped it from getting a higher score was lack of substance in the story but I think the entire horror genre suffers from that imho. It is defo worth a watch if you like the mystery/detective type films/series and like to think and suss stuff about while you are watching. I thought this would be a standalone film but the closing scene makes you think there is more to it so I hope it does well enough to warrant a sequel. It has already made $80m and it couldn't have cost that much to make.

Alita: Battle Angel: 8/10
A beautiful film with a great story. I would describe it as fantasy scifi and I know some will argue it is predictable in the direction it goes (without giving away any spoilers) but I loved it. I loved the story, the action scenes were kick ass and the special effects and motion capture were out of this world; she looks real.
The only thing which is bugging me is that I didn't realise it is going to be a trilogy so as we were approaching the end of the film I was expecting a punch up with the big bag but instead I got a cliff hanger so be warned.
If you have seen the trailer and are remotely interested in the film don't wait to download it or come out on bluray, go and see it at the cinema in all its glory and preferable in 3D.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
*Alita: Battle Angel* in IMAX 3D.
Definitely worth seeing, great action, seamless special effect, good story - 7 or 8 out of 10.
It wasn’t "Avenger: Infinity War" or "Thor: Ragnarok", but still a very good film.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Stan & Laurel - 9/10
Fantastic film, telling the story of their career in later year after their popularity dwindled. Very interesting and honestly the two lead actors are amazing in the roles.

Given the very good reviews this has had l am looking forward to seeing this as l had some doubts as to how good this film would turn out to be.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Alita (Battle Angel) - 7 / 10.
I didnt have high hopes for this - and am happy to say my expectations of it being poor were not met.
It was actually quite good, and far better than I had expected. It was a litle slow getting started, and I think they could have cut down some of the first 30 minutes, but after that, it got going, and was quite enjoyable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Happy Death Day - 7/10
Pretty decent and funny in places for being a 'slasher'
Girl gets murdered on her birthday and wakes to relive the day again and again, until she works out who the killer is. Basically Groundhog Day with murder.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Green Book 7/10.
A bit paint by numbers and you can see why people were complaining about the way they handled race but I enjoyed it. It was well made. Certainly more than Vice! I could have watched it for longer, the interaction between the two actors/characters was enjoyable.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Overlord - 9/10. Unsure why it bombed at the box office. Has next to no chance of a sequel.
Aquaman - 8/10. Further evidence that DC solo movies can be way better than the Justice League team ups.
