    Vince Vaughn has made precisely one good film, and that was so money.

    Green Book, last one I watched. Not what you'd expect, but worth a couple of hours of your time.

    Seems harsh

    Zoolander
    Blackball
    Starsky and Hutch
    Dodgeball
    Anchorman
    Into the Wild

    All excellent films.
    Mmm. Your taste in films isn't quite aligned with mine. These are all films where all the jokes are in the trailer.

    Yes, not that many jokes in Into the Wild.

    The American. I hesitated before posting this to look at the reviews and indeed my opinion that it was really second rate is shared by everyone in existence - exception George Clooney. Its redeeming feature is norks. Plenty of them. Makes up for his wife not having any. :D

    Three films in two days

    Rocket Man:- Really rather good, if a bit of a mess!

    The Secret Life Of Pets 2:- Bloody awful!

    Aladdin:- A lot better than I thought it would be, Will Smith is no Robin Williams but put in a good shift

    John Wick 3. Really good! If you liked the first 2, you'll like this!

    I enjoyed Rocket Man but there's no escaping the fact that Elton and David Furnish produced it and I would love to see the same story through the eyes of some of the other protagonists involved. Tarron Egerton was absolutely masterful in the lead role though.

    Godzilla 2. Nowhere near a 1 star film as Empire thought it.

    Yes, it's not a good film but it is a good cinematic spectacle.

    The Road to Perdition.

    Hanks is not gangster material. You know that when he guns people down it's for their own good, like he was removing their appendix.

    The pictures are nice.

    Avengers Infinity war...ok I appreciate not the target audience for this type of film, but how do these films make so much money...its just the same stuff every time, few quips, few pop culture references and a third act of a cgi enhanced beat em up arcade game that I have no idea who is doing what or why

    followed by Solo, which was a mistake because I know Marvel/StarWars/Disney are all joined at the hip thesedays but I hadnt heard this was Star Wars with so much of a Guardians of the Galaxy/Avengers style rip off, even Paul Bettany was in it!!

    They make money because they are franchises with brand loyalty. Star Wars, Trek, Potter you could make any shit with these names and they would make a profit.

    Aladdin, much better than I expected. The original is my favourite Disney animated

    Toy Story 4

    Definitely the weakest of the Toy Story films but still much better than the recent output from Disney

    But compared to TS2 which was on tv yesterday (and why does the room ALWAYS get dusty during Jessie’s song?) it’s a very unsatisfactory film.

    Toy Story 4

    Definitely better than Toy Story 3.

    It was never going be as good as 1 or 2, but it was pretty good and worth a watch if you liked the original two.

    Yesterday

    Another Richard Curtis shit-fest!!

    I’m really disappointed in Danny Boyle whose work I usually really enjoy but this is on a level with The Beach as being his worst film

    There’s a quite funny Oasis joke but that’s really about it!

    I thought it was ok. It did seem like an afterthought of recent movies about bands / rock stars - the pushy manager, the quirky side kick.

    Still think I picked the best cinema film out there - a bit of a drought at the moment.

    The Queen's Corgi.

    Weird. Maybe it's a sign of the times.

    The Dead Don't Die.

    Saw it for Tom Waits - hooked at the moment.
    But it was slow, not funny, cliched hash up of other films. And Tom Waits part was small.

    Pity that - was hoping it would be a good one.

    The Lion King

    The original of this film is quite significant in my life as when it first came out I had just become a father for the first time , I took my then seven year old niece to see it, and the scene where Mufasa dies all the implications of being a dad hit me very hard and it was the first time I’d ever properly sobbed at a film!

    There was no way that the remake could have the same emotional reaction on me but me and the little lady enjoyed it but nowhere near as good

    The computer generated imagery was awesome though. They could make a film now and you have a heck of job know if it was reality or synthesised. Only saw it in 2D, I guess 3D would be amazing. I've not seen the earlier version.

    I saw Captain Corelli's Mandolin last night. Well half of it. Jeez - glad I only paid a £ for it. Binned. :(

    The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

    Can't quite believe that it's taken me thirteen years to get around to watching this film

    Predicted the ending from a long way out but that didn't make it any less harrowing or upsetting to watch

    Good film ..if you can overlook the fact that there weren't any children in concentration camps.

    Well if you like non-stop violence and killing then this is the film for you. Story wise, nah not really.

    Perfect. One for me then.

    I am looking forward to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Apparently it has seriously divided critics.

    I find tarantino a bit of a nause but I do like his films.

    Tarantino has done some great films and yes looking forward to that one.
