..that’s the thing with Nicholas Cage movies, they often have all of the right ingredients but they don’t always bake the way you hope they will…I’d forgotten about the movie actually so I might forget about it for a little bit longer with your review…

Actually one I really enjoyed with him in it was The Unbearable weight of massive talent, he plays himself in it but it was very funny. Was on Netflix but it was a while ago

…yeah I liked that movie also…I liked that he poked fun at himself but also I thought that his character and Pedro Pascal’s character perfectly bounced off each other…another movie of his that I love is Family Man, it’s completely corny but such a feel good story, one of my go to’s at Christmas time…

Oh I love that one too, I've watched it loads of times, you know I love a good Christmas movie though

No way Up - Absolute rubbish, cringey script, shitty story, just all round awful, do not watch 2/10

Going to see Deadpool & Wolverine tonight so hopefully that will give me some faith back in films again

[Ammi]

…ahhh, I did look at that one as well yesterday and Colm Meaney also, so that’s disappointing…

I made my 3 watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at weekend as a good after supper family film

Totally forgetting the long drawn out anal rape scene

It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it

..A Ghost Story……I didn’t know anything about the movie and just randomly chose it…and I think that’s how it should be watched…’blind’ …because it’s just so incredibly/emotionally unexpected and excellent, I thought…8/10…

[Livia]

'Dog' with Channing Tatum. Really enjoyed it, although I did have to Google whether or not the dog died before I could watch it. Three beautiful Belgian Malinois played Lulu, the star of the film. Funny and poignant. 9/10.

Oh I almost watched that last night, the story sounded a bit weird but obviously good weird then, I'll give it a go next week

The Deliverance - Awful film, not even slightly scary, too little of it is actually the horror part as well, mostly just all the characters arguing with each other. The actual horror parts are just funny really 4/10

…oh, this is on my watch card for this evening…it looked pretty good with Glenn Close, one of my favourite actresses…maybe I’ll have a change of direction then and look at the choices…

[Ammi]

Burden……it was an interesting take on someone who was ‘born into’ and conditioned from childhood into a KKK family …it did make you think a lot but I think it could have been more, I won’t do any spoilers, but….it was interesting take that I feel, could have been done a lot better and more thought filled than it was…6/10…

Yeah it was disappointing. You're always taking a gamble with these Netflix made films though

You became the butt of the joke in the LT household.

…Rebel Ridge……I enjoyed it, it ticked along nicely at a good pace…Aaron Pierre isn’t an actor that I was familiar with but he’s very, very watchable and created a very engaging character…7/10…

I liked it but I didn't love it. When thinking back on it, it's a movie I struggle to have strong feelings about either way. The bait and switch with regards to the plot and Cage's motivation was well done, but I didn't care for the twist of being a

Spoiler:

Satanic possession movie.

Generally speaking, that's just not my kind of horror.

Similarly, I recently watched The First Omen after hearing such good things about it. I thought that was an overhyped piece of shite. The only great part was when Damien was finally born and the classic Jerry Goldsmith latin chant kicked in.

[Mystic Mock]

The Last Witch Hunter - I personally really enjoyed it.

Yes it probably could've done with a longer runtime to finesse certain areas of the plot.

But overall it was a solid 8/10 Movie for me, it had good action scenes, likable characters, and interesting lore.

Apparently a sequel is happening.

…Cobweb……it wasn’t really anything unpredictable but it was creepy and sinister and an absorbing watch with all of the characters well cast and uncomfortable and creepy and all that jazz…7/10…

Spoiler:

…it was so incredibly moving how it showed grief ‘from the other side’, you know…not anger or unresolved or revenge or anything we see in stories that involve sudden and violent death…but just poor grief and confusion and completely lost…everything the living loved ones feel and go through but from the other side…I’ve never seen that done before and it was so emotional and how he portrayed and conveyed that to us so incredibly when we never even saw his face or heard a voice…it was just pure and raw….
