- Wasn't really scary for me. I reckon the cinema environment/a home theatre with surround sound, would make this better.
- Georgie scene is sick (literally, not meaning cool), who thinks of this crap.
- Graphics/visuals are fantastic.
- That last encounter with Bill and Georgie, ahhhh that even got to me. Was great :)
- I always find myself going back to the 'Flute Lady', now THAT is creepy.
3 stars?

The ultimately blend of darkness mixed with occasional light humour that integrates you within the sci-fi world of fantasy/imagination.
Quote from Dorothy Woodend:
Striking the right balance between new ideas (the rise of women, the end of old white men, and a new universe of togetherness) with the same old stuff (explosions, good guys, bad guys, metal guys, fleshy things with noses where their ears should be) is a delicate art. And to be fair, the film hits the sweet spot between mono-mythic hoo-haw, old fashioned space western, and a new age of intersectionality.

If you mean the bit with the arm, that was in the books, so Stephen King thinks of that crap

Should defnitely watch the new Star Wars movie.

I absolutely loved The Last Jedi so I was very surprised to see how it divided the fanbase while remaining a hit with the critics. The acting was superb, Rian Johnson handled most of the characters very well, and on a whole it was a very enjoyable unpredictable action film with some absolutely stunning shots and fight sequences. Kylo Ren is now possibly my favourite Star Wars villain as well.
As for my favourite movie of 2017, it would have to be Thor Ragnarok. I’ll admit I’m a sucker for superhero movies, but this film exceeded my expectations in every way with a perfect blend of humour, action and emotion, providing a satisfying end to a mostly disappointing trilogy.

I watched it a few days ago. I heard some really good reviews and comments about it, which peaked my curiosity. I'm not a fan of musical movies, but oh my goodness, this movie was an exception. Everything from the natural acting to the aesthetic settings to the retro atmosphere to the amazing writing to the heart-wrenching ending is absolutely phenomenal. And don't get me started on the original soundtrack - that is too beautiful for words.
Highly recommend! Definitely a 10/10 for me!!!

Star Wars TLJ was okayish imo- I'd probably give it a 6/10 :)

That's the one. First time I saw it I cringed. Big step up from the 1990s one.

This is probably my favourite film. During the Cold War, a KGB agent and a CIA officer must work together to stop a global meltdown. Simple premise, but fun action, and the banter is top notch. It has a romantic subplot, which I normally dislike, but it's one I actually enjoy in this film. Can't telll which of the three characters I enjoy most.

The Greatest Showman is pretty good imo.

Yes, The Greatest Showman is amazing. You know a film soundtrack is awesome when your own mother buys the CD and plays it in her car every chance she gets. I love it, too, very catchy songs. 'This Is Me' is a masterpiece of a song; it's my favourite out of them all. 'A Million Dreams' comes close though.
Hugh Jackman was amazing, Michelle Williams sang perfectly, and Zac Efron and Zendaya were fantastic too. 10/10, amazing musical. Even someone who doesn't usually watch musicals would enjoy this.
Have yet to see The Disaster Artist, but I would like to at some stage. Anyone else seen it?
Post by: Yertle the Turtle on January 19, 2018, 08:58:35 pm
Yeah La La Land is up there, I really liked it when it came out but kinda overhyped now. I still listen to the soundtrack sometimes.Never actually watched SW, but I feel like it is just part of the SW fan community to hate every new movie that comes out!
I still haven't seen The Last Jedi and kinda ceebs everyone who has seen it said it was ok and nothing else...
Kinda sad really, I finally got to watch Frozen for the first time a while ago (cause, come on guys, it's that movie that everyone has to watch at some time in their life). It wasn't as bad as I expected, and some of the music was pretty good.

Directed by.. the guy who also directed beauty and the beast (my man, Chobsky).
Now where do I begin...
The Perks of being a wallflower is such a beautiful film (and novel). The title may sound cheesy, but its far from your typical coming of age story. It isn't a teenage kid, starts school finds lovers, goes through heartbreaks , ya di ya di ya film... it's different in the aspect that it tackles mental illness in a way. I loved the character and film, because I personally identified with the character! Some of you may connect with the character of Charlie too (or Charlie's friend).
It explores difficult themes, it makes you think, it makes you cry :). Let's just say it starts off innocently enough :P
Spoiler
If any of you just find the trailer and that it's a happy tale, there's a big surprise for you:P
It started off with a rating of R until it was downgraded.

The themes of depression, self harm and abuse are depicted quite vividly at times.

But yes agreed it was tragically sad and my poor heart cannot deal.
Still a great movie.
Even if it tore me apart.

If there any anime lovers out there I highly recommend. Or if you're new to the genre this is a good one to get you started haha.
It legit has everything you could ever ask for when it comes to a Japanese animated film.
- Incredible illustrations
- Amazing soundtrack
- Killer (yet confusing - although it adds to the appeal) plot
- Funny moments
- Insight into traditional Japanese culture juxtaposed to the modern society they've become
- all round sweet love story (the proposal who?)
- PLOT TWISTS LEFT AND RIGHT
It's on Netflix go watch it ;D

LOKI!!! :'( :'( HE WAS MY FAVOURITE. I want a prequel of his story but it wouldn’t be Tom Hiddleston so it wouldn't be the same :'( :'( He was the best character, everyone else was so predictable. I’m hoping he comes back in part 2 but I really doubt it

Rumour has it he is in Avengers 4, but it may or may not be part of a flashback scene. My fingers are crossed.

I came across this one on Netflix. Ik its super old and people here have probably watched it already, but it's some quality surreal humour. Could help cheer you up after a holiday grind. ;)

Who has seen bird box?I did! It was a unique concept and very engaging storyline, but it was a lot more horror and less scary than I expected. Tbh wouldn't recommend it to people looking for a really good movie.
However, I also recently watched Aquaman, and that was extremely good. The casting was great (being a comic nerd I was impressed) and the CGI was fantastic. If you're looking for an epic fantasy battle scene or 50 go see Aquaman.

Tbh wouldn't recommend it to people looking for a really good movie.It was hyped so much by twitter (and other sources) - also there were so many memes on instagram so I watched it as I didn't want to get spoiled too much (already went in with some knowledge). I didn't think it was that great of film - the first 20 mins was decently engaging but it felt a bit of a drag towards the middle.
Yesterday I watched "Arrival" (2016) - Not too sure what to make of it I found the ideas of the storyline to be really great but as a film it was executed very poorly.

Plot Point
haha it's pretty random but in hindsight it makes heaps of sense - especially considering that a major theme is that time is circular (at least for the aliens and it has no direction - everything is happening at the same time) and not linear as we perceive it
