Just watched this unknown horror movie called 'Duress' on netflix and it was f---in awesome, d---. Whole thing was awesome but

Spoiler

that ending, god d---....Last 15 mins or so is crazy and especially the twist. Such a smart ending connecting everything and all the details.

Really good movie, think most horror fans would like it.

[REVIEW] 75/100 - Bridge of Spies

Its greatest success is that it perfectly executes all the technical fortuitousness of Hollywood conventions and American filmmaking.

Watched Jurassic World lastnight. It's a shame this movie made so much money because it's really not good at all other than the final battle scene, which is the most epic moment in JP history. Lol @ the idea of using dinosaurs as weapons in war.

1. Jurassic Park 10/10
2. Lost World 8/10
3. Jurassic World 5/10
4. JP3 1/10

I just watched Legend (2015)

Tom Hardy was pretty amazing. I was blown away with both his performances, playing both Kray Twins.
I've read alot of mixed reviews about the movie, i loved the 1990 version as a kid, but i love the direction taken in this new adaptation.
This adaptation is based off the book ''The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins'' (which is a fantastic book id recommend)
which focuses more on the downfall of their relationship, rather than the on-going issues of there business
The mixture of humour & violence was a perfect balance. I felt as if i was watching a Guy Richie movie, which is a great thing.
There is a long 1 take sequence within the first 10 minutes of the movie & it was beyond amazing. It felt like a called back to The Goodfellas, it really showed both sides of Reggie.

Saying Ronnie was a crazy f--- would be an understatement lol, he truly was unpredictable.

I feared going into the movie that i would feel removed by the fact he is playing both characters, but no, he really shined through. This movie could of been the worst movie ever, & it still would of been amazing to watch, as Tom really pushed himself out of his comfort zone & created what i would call a classic performance.

I will definitely be watching this as soon as possible.


I have always wanted Idris Elba as James Bond, but after seeing Tom in this, id love to see him as James Bond.

  Phantom presence no longer phantomic, the supernatural less mystic, continuity destroyed, tonally similar but affected.
  
  67/100 - Decent.

SPECTRE
It really wasn't as good as people hyped it to be. I mean, the intro scene was f---ing amazing, but for me,they never reached that momentum again. I felt that it kept building up, but never really did anything with it.
I'd almost put this in the same category as Quantum. I'd like to compare SPECTRE to when you're drunk and f---ing some girl, cause in the beginning you're all like ''f--- yes! this is awesome'' and the rest of the act is kinda good too, but you get pissed off cause u can't c-m, so you ends up leaving irritated.
Christopher Waltz is amazing and Léa Seydoux is boring as f--- 6.8/10

How was Southpaw? I've heard some people say it's amazing, others say it's like a straight to TV movie.

007's Spectre. I'd give it 5/10. Was a big let down. Actually surprised how dry and boring it was. Uninteresting. I'd rank Craig's movies as:

Casino Royale/Skyfall > Quantum of Solace > Spectre.

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Nov, 2015
  
  [REVIEW] 90/100 - House of Flying Daggers
  
  By the time that the snow begins to fall and the climactic battle begins, the viewer is so fully immersed in Yimou’s visual foreplay that the final 10 minutes is a purely ecstatic feast for the eyes. This phenomenon is certainly due to the accumulative density of both story and style; as the film progresses, it builds to a thematic and cinematic genius that is difficult to deny, easily absolving the certain few awkward moments of melodrama.

  Not so much a remake as a spiritual counterpart, using the same world to speak retroactively about taboo prejudices.
  
  87/100 - Excellent.

  A fun throwback with affable characters and a SYNECDOCHE: NY like twist. But overly casual with missing links to the books.
