One of the best films of 2019: http://https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2762506/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

I hardly ever go to the cinema to see a movie. The cost of tickets isn't worth it when you can get the blu-ray for £15 just a few months later. Haven't been since The Last Jedi. We decided to skip Rise of Skywalker until home release. 

I had higher expectations of this film noir.

Another awesome animation!

Highly disappointing. I expected more of something that Guillermo del Toro had some involvement with.

A comedy western full of completely wasted potential that isn't as funny as it thinks it is. The characters are written like they are modern people displaced in the old west so it feels completely anachronistic. The plot twist just after half way results in the remainder of the movie not having much point except to keep reiterating the same feminist point it had already made. It may have worked better as a short film, but the actual result is a waste of time. Just to be clear, I have nothing against a feminist stance in a movie, but there's feminism and then there's misandry and sometimes this manages to feel closer to the latter even though it's by a pair of male writers and directors. Just gives an impression of maybe trying too hard and ultimately harming their point. 

Stupid as hell (pun intended) but a very amusing comedy horror. 

Complements the previous film rather well, but is even sillier in its premise. Entertaining but probably shouldn't think worry about it being believable too much. 

I didn't get into it as much as I'd hoped, but it's a decent enough 80's movie.

Believe it or not I never saw Unbreakable until now. Both of these were good movies, the former feeling quite atypical for a superhero movie and Split is basically a supervillian origin story done up as a horror movie. I preferred the latter. Looking forward to see how they both come together in Glass.

Not as good as the first one. I mean it's quite funny still but I don't think the character arcs for the four of them were as well done as they could have been, except for Tallahassee. For Columbus and Wichita it seemed like one of those sequels that didn't know what to do with the couple from the previous movie so just fell back on a generic breakup storyline. A lot more could have been done with Little Rock too. Also Madison has to be one of the most annoying characters ever created. 

Brilliant. Didn't disappoint at all. 

Very entertaining. 

Very good drama. 

Twisted Korean movie but what do you expect from the man who made Oldboy? 

An OK horror, nothing more, nothing less.

Solid thriller. Bit difficult to understand for a while but I guess that was the point. Puts you into the head of the character, who doesn't know what the fuck's going on either. 

Could have been a lot better. It was supposed to be a survival thriller and was up until a point but then changed tack and become more of a drama. Second half lacked much of the tension of the first and I can't but feel all the hardship endured by the protagonist could have been avoided if she'd just got back in her fucking car instead of running off aimlessly into the wilderness. But then we wouldn't have a movie would we?
