He put it on silent tho

So he could be a distracting arseh*le when he got bored.

A couple of blockbuster movies I've seen people have thought it's carte blanche to start talking or get the phone out once it's clear there won't be anymore explosions or gun shots.

Agreed, turn your phone off, if you cant leave it be for an hour and a half/two then don't go to the movies.

Aw don't do that phants. Stay strong, never surrender.

I figure the only person I'm hurting by being angry about it all the time is myself, it seems most people don't agree with me that even looking at your phone in the cinema anymore is rude (personally I find the light incredibly distracting)

Rogue One - I really enjoyed this. For a Star Wars film it was actually well acted which surprised me. It was sad in the end too. I'd give it 7.5/10.

i enjoyed it aswell, i thought it was better than episode 7

The Babysitter - cheeky little Netflix fair with a fairly impressive cast of up and comers (a real instafamous type crew) Samara Weaving, Bella Thorne, Robbie Amell and Hana Mae Lee. This is obviously a bit of an homage to the 80s slasher flick and its big, dumb, over the top glorious fun, everyone is on song but Samara Weaving and Robbie Amell particularly shine as do youngsters Judah Lewis and Emily Alyn Lind. This won't win any awards but I absolutely loved it in spite of its many obviously flaws 7.5/10

Pretty spot on comments. 85 minutes of stupid decisions, lame jokes and over the top gore. It was great. If protagonists doing stupid thing annoys you, this isn't for you. If you're looking for something requiring minimal thinking, give it a try. The hot Aussie chick is a bonus.

Good Time: Robert Pattinson keeps getting better every time I see him in a new movie. He is terrific in this. This film really catches you from the moment it starts. Very immersive and sensory with very slick direction. Great film. Glad I saw it at the cinema. 8.5/10

Just saw this tonight. Pattinson was very good but I was a bit torn on some things with this movie. Still pretty solid, 7/10.

Layer Cake.

Pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed this. Daniel Craig was fantastic. A lot of the same British cast you see in a lot of flicks. Had some good twists and turns along the way.

Wind River - I was really looking forward to it but in the end was somewhat underwhelmed & I think the reason was Renner, for some reason I just cannot warm to him in any of his movies & in a lot of what otherwise should have been tense scenes, I didn't believe him which is a pity as otherwise it's a solid film so I'll still give it a 7/10.

Rotten tomatoes seems to give everything 90% as well these days - anything under 90% is basically unwatchable imo (98% if its a foreign film). There needs to be some kind of law on overly generous ratings imo.

RT scores aren't strictly ratings though, they're just a combination of broad yes/now recommendations. A 90% can have a lower rating than an 80%.

I don't understand why people treat Rotten Tomatoes as anything other than a mild curiosity. There's nothing consistent about those scores that suggests you should be using the site for recommendations.

Yeah I know but there seems to me that there are a lot more dodgy critics counted in the aggregate now (i.e. random stuff like the new jersey evangelical times) and they just hand out good reviews for everything. RT definitely seems to be much more generous than it was a few years ago imo but i see your point. For me it's was always the easiest way for me to check if something was watchable.

Its useful for the collection of review summaries and links to reviews of major critics though.

Studios have worked out every man and their dog checks Rotten Tomatoes. So they invite sympathetic internet critics nobody's heard of to pre-screenings to bump up the release day score.

This is why I use Criticker. Can't beat personalised ratings.

War of the Planet of the Apes

I don't think this sequel is as good as the previous one's, and the story seems somewhat confusing in the beginning. I liked how they have the Simian flu mutating to make humans become the primitive types Charleton Heston found in the original movie, a good twist. The film kind of becomes a bit ridiculous with Caesar leading the slave apes out of bondage to the promised land. The end even taking it's biblical rip off to the bitter end by having Caesar die as he gazes on the so called promised land for the first time (just like Moses). Not sure if the production budget was less for this film, as the apes looked a bit CGI cartoonish at times. 4/10

The Babysitter

I loved this movie. So many lol moments.

Did you just blow up Sonya?

Just came on to post the exact same thing.

Dem head stomps.

War for the planet of the apes - born storyline, anti-climatic ending, waste of 2 hours imo.

the girl with all the answers - awesome film, 9/10 imo.

Watched Star Wars IV with the boy, for the first time in years. It must have been just mindblowing back in the day, and is still one of the very best of the series.

I'm old enough to remember seeing Return of the Jedi at the cinemas as a little boy but Star Wars and Empire were before my time.
