What Films did You Watch Last Week (14/01 - 20/01) CLOSED

First Time Viewings:

Suburbicon (2017, George Clooney)

This one has a lot of talented people behind it, but it's a strange mess of a movie. It feels like two movies put together and just isn't all that engaging for the most part. Oscar Isaac was my favorite part, but he's barely in it. Good score though and it does have its moments.

5/10
6.5/10

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006, Adam McKay)

This one has some good laughs and is pretty entertaining throughout, but it's the cast and fun characters that really make it work.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006, Larry Charles)

It's very short and has some laughs here and there, but I never really found any parts laugh out loud funny. It's alright.

6/10
7/10

Repeat Viewings:

Pineapple Express (2008, David Gordon Green)

Hadn't seen this in a long time, but it held up well. Lots of good laughs and the cast is pretty fun.

7/10

Step Brothers (2008, Adam McKay)

Has its moments, but just isn't funny enough. The main problem is that I find it more dumb than funny.

5.5/10
4.5/10

21 Jump Street (2012, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller)

Very funny and entertaining film. Hill and Tatum are awesome together. 

7.5/10
6.5/10

22 Jump Street (Phil Lord & Christopher Miller)

Not quite as good as the first, but still pretty funny.

7/10
5/10

Unbreakable (2000, M. Night Shyamalan)

Still one of the best superhero movies out there.

8.5/10
7.5/10

Split (2017, M. Night Shyamalan)

Damn good thriller with a brilliant performance from McAvoy and a great surprise ending.
