What Films did You Watch Last Week (26/11 - 02/12) Closed

First Time Viewings:

Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013, David Lowery)

This one is a slow paced film about a man who escapes from prison to try and reunite with his wife and daughter. It has very good cinematography and a very good score and the cast is good. 

7/10
8/10

Kingdom of Heaven (2005, Ridley Scott)

This one is beautifully shot, has a really good score, and great sets and costumes. I was hoping for a bit more from this one, but I thought it was pretty good overall, with some standout scenes.

7/10
8/10

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014, Ridley Scott)

The story of Moses is a good one, but this film didn't tell it very well. It's well made, but pretty dull for the most part.

5.5/10
6/10

30 Minutes or Less (2011, Ruben Fleischer)

This one has a cool premise, but the film itself just wasn't funny or entertaining enough to quite work for me. It does some laughs though and is an easy viewing due to its running time. I also think some of the characters could have been better.

6/10
5.5/10

All the Money in the World (2017, Ridley Scott)

This one is a pretty good kidnapping drama, that's well made, has good performances, and gets better as it goes along.

7/10

Pete's Dragon (2016, David Lowery)

I liked how they made this one different from the 1977 film. The cast is good, I liked the characters, and it's a fun movie.

Hot Tub Time Machine  (2010, Steve Pink)

This one has some good laughs and does get better in the second half, but overall it's just an okay comedy. 

6/10
6.5/10


Repeat Viewings:

Kick-Ass (2010, Matthew Vaughn)

Very entertaining movie. One of my favorite superhero films.

8/10

Casablanca (1942, Michael Curtiz)

An all time classic. Great characters, strong performances, a great script, and many iconic moments.

9/10
7.5/10

Pete's Dragon (1977, Don Chaffey)

I hadn't seen this since I was a little kid. It has some good stuff (the dragon is awesome), but it's too long and I feel like a few of the musical numbers definitely could have been cut.

6/10
Been too long

Wreck-It Ralph (2012, Rich Moore)

A fun and creative animated film from Disney.

7.5/10
5.5/10

The Lion King (1994, Roger Allers & Rob Minkoff)

Great story, great characters, an incredible score and excellent musical numbers as well. Very emotional too and with some many great scenes. For me the greatest animated film ever made and one of my very favorites in general. 

9.5/10
