Extraterrestrial (2014)

From the makers of the brilliant Grave Encounters but no where near as good or scary.

6/10

It wasn't a patch on dog soldiers but I quite enjoyed it tbh, good special effects.
Also a cameo by Sean Pertwee.
7/10

I generally use amazon for my reviews.
Howl [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Ed Speleers, Holly Weston, Elliot Cowan, Amit Shah, Paul Hyett: DVD & Blu-ray Howl [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Ed Speleers, Holly Weston, Elliot Cowan, Amit Shah, Paul Hyett: DVD & Blu-ray

I watched 'The Pyramid' last night, a relatively high budget hybrid found footage film, the critics and audience have panned it but I thought it was highly enjoyable and provided plenty of mystery.

8/10

I saw James Bond of late. I thought it was top!

No brain feed essentially, but sheer entertainment, no doubt.

Opening scene was phenomenal, and I liked when DC drives sideways on the canal wall. I also liked when DC pushes that man full throttle whose safely balloon goes pop!!!! - eventually.

Loved it!

Well a year ago to the very day I posted asking for good films to watch due to me having a few days off as I had not really been much of a movie watcher previously.

Very glad I asked as I have seen loads of brilliant films over the past 12 months that I may have never stumbled across. Many thanks to everyone who gave me a steer on titles. Merry Christmas to you all and if there are any new "corkers" you have seen recently in the Thriller/Horror genre then please let me know.

I can't really give a top 3 because I have seen so many and I don't find it easy to say one film is better than another.

A sample of films I've liked and seen in the past 12 months include:-

Source Code
Sinister
Moon
Taken
Equalizer
The Mist

Saw the Hateful 8 the other night. If you liked Django unchained you'll love it.

Drags a bit at the start but really gets going once they get to 'Minnies Haberdashery'.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but recently saw John Wick starring Keanu Reaves & thought it was pretty good.

Watched Nightcrawler recently. It kept me intrigued until the end and I would give it a solid 8.5/10!

Ah ok

Yeah I thought it was pretty good

Better than that candifloss crap that comes out of the big studios

All the comic book movies - you go in with such high expectations
, lots of bangs and flashes, amazing effects

But totally forgotten by the time you get to the car

That's that exposing sexual abuse in the clergy thingy?

Yeah, it looks groovy. In a similar vein to Argo as a cinematic experience, I'm guessing?

Must watch it...
