...nice review apart from the red bits. There's a TV series coming out next year
sorry my crap spelling strikes again , of course if should be Damien, Damien.Damian*
Damien: Omen II ... Damien the Antichrist,
Look, he's not that bad, he did me a real solid on the Nightfall in Destiny the other day.
Slow West - brilliantly depressing film. Loved it.
Wasn't there some shite attempt to do a sequel with a female 'Damien'? Not sure it was officially linked to the trilogy. In fact am pretty sure it wasn't.
Agree with your reviews, although I would be harsher on the third one. The first film is a genuine classic.
I have the box set and that film is in it, watched it once never again , it is dreadful.
The 3rd film had the potential to be an absolute cracker but they failed, I like Sam Neil but why he played it the way he did was beyond me
Some of the lines he had and the way he acted them were appalling.
I barely remember the third apart from the bloke from 'Dear John' and countless Hammer films being adult Damien and Jesus appearing at the end.
I was born in '76- am as old as the first film
I am older , I was 12 when the first one came out.I barely remember the third apart from the bloke from 'Dear John' and countless Hammer films being adult Damien and Jesus appearing at the end.

I was about 12 the first time I saw it...
My mum was about 12 when it first came out.
I watched a box set of that recently. Bloody funny, underrated series.
Glad some other oldie appreciates the reference!
Any sexual problems, chief?
have you seen Dr. Zhivago?
also Lean's Passage to India is very under rated but a beautiful film.
Yes but again not on the big screen. It really was next level.
yes. it is an experience to see it on the big screen.
Ant Man
A bit late to the party here but quite enjoyed it. Paul Rudd was really good in it as were Michael Pena and T.I. Some moments really had me laughing out loud and overall, the action sequences and story were quite good. Would liked to have seen what Edgar Wright would have bought to the table but nonetheless, it was a really enjoyable film 7.5/10
The Hallow
A family move into an isolated home in Irish woodlands and then are terrorized by creatures from the forest. I can't see how this by-the-mill film gets a theatrical release yet original horror films like The Canal can only manage VOD. Everything about the film was just bang average. Wasn't scary, followed all the cliched horror tropes and didnt really have an original point to make at all. You can see clearly what films inspired it, films that are miles better, so you're better off just watching them. It tries to be a mix between body horror and creature feature and fails on both. The monsters also looked shit and were shown too much 4/10
The Gift
A couple move into a new home and the husband's old school friend starts giving them gifts and acts all stalkerish. I thought this film was super tense for the first two acts. I was on the edge of my seat. The final act became a bit ridiculous and I was left wanting something a little better to wrap up the brilliant first hour or so. It was shot well, directed well and performed well. Joel Edgerton clearly has multiple talents (written by, directed by and starring) and I have seen a new side to Jason Bateman, which was cool. Would recommend 7/10

Slow West - real good. Only an hour an a half long as well, take note other directors.
Really was good.
Absolutely have to watch it, keep forgetting it.
Slow West?
Yeah.
Salò
Yeah I echo that. It was a fun enough watch and Paul Rudd is always an amiable lead. I did enjoy the way they'd pull the camera out from a tense action sequence to show how ludicrous it looks in normal size with a toy train falling off the track etc...
Top Gun. It's corny, naff, shallow and everything else associated with 80s awfulness. A stupid, vulgar, greedy ugly American death sucking recruitment video. And I really enjoyed it.
Exodus: Kings and Gods
Had to watch this steaming pile of shit for work. Awful movie, with no redeeming features 1/10

Hall Pass: one of the worst things I've seen in a while. Cina/10
V For Vendetta. Finally got around to watching this on Saturday, didn't know it was 10 years old already. Thoroughly enjoyable film and would watch again, wish I had watched it when I was more anarchistic, now I'm bored and old . 9/10
. 9/10Really? While I can appreciate the attempt at making an alt Western, this movie seemed laughably bad for the most part, filled with cheesy characters, and with some of the corniest scenes I think I´ve ever seen, i.e. the part where they´re at a totally unbelievable store in the middle of nowhere with these foreigners asking for "monee" and what would happen. I mean, what the feck? And the story line, which seemingly tried to be aburdist, was more like a fail B movie script. Nothing was even remotely believable, not even the absurdity.
I did check out the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and everyone seemed to love it. What the feck am I missing here?
3 cocks up

Election - It was okay but...meeeh.
Electric Dragon 80.000 V - Bonkers, stylish but ultimately nonsensical and tiring. The running time was perfect.

A confused film. Way too much violence to classify as a children's film. Supposed to be about a dog, but feels like a action/adventure film. Thin story, loose screenplay and not good acting (apart from the dog ofc).
3/10
San Andreas
Great special effects and nothing else. The movie seems to be tailor made for Dwayne Johnson with little attention paid to anything else. Shows in weak script and absurd action sequences that are beyond belief. A sense of 'why am I still watching this?' stays with you all through.
Dwayne Johnson - 6/10.
San Andreas Movie - 4/10

Not quite sure where to put this but I saw these 3 brilliant videos on youtube and wanted to share them:
Part of the Le Nouvelle Vague movement, indeed.
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves:
This was a film that in my childhood I would watch pretty much every Saturday morning with my sister. I would like to offer a formal apology to my father for putting him through such torment.

Was this before or after watching The Warriors?
