67. Friday the 13th Part 2
Sackcloth Jason's turn to cull the councillors, mother would be proud. 6.5

ShabbyMcCrabby

Are you going to do them all? Gotta love the in your face 3D moments of 3.

Webbins

That's the plan. Jason is my king of the slashers and my default Halloween costume.

Just watched Toy Story 4. Last time I cried like that was during Up.

Fuck me.

hylian_elf

I cried at Up.

Same. Tried to hide my tears so my boys couldn’t see but I was misty eyed throughout.
Disney and Pixar just have a direct line to my emotional core

ShabbyMcCrabby

I didn't really get emotional at 4. Maybe because I'd already said goodbye at 3. 3 destroyed me though

Wookienopants

3 reduced me to an absolute wreck. Had to wait through the credits so I could face going outside in the light and showing my red teary eyes

LivDiv

Yeah 3 destroys me.
4 had tears but not in the same way.

Kazuo

Rattled through some of the year's dross on flights to and from Toronto.

The Kid Who Would Be King: Serviceable, by-the-numbers family entertainment with lots of variable child acting and one film-stealing performance. 6

Battle Angel Alita: Confusing, ugly, CGI-clusterfuck that probably wasn't done any favours by being viewed on a 6" screen in the back of a chair. 3

Aladdin: Better than expected, but still no good reason to watch this over the original animated film, other than to take in the antics of a surprisingly chonky Will Smith. 5

Godzilla, King of the Monsters: Bafflingly dull, utterly incoherent monster nonsense. All the main characters deserved to be crushed within the opening minutes, though it earns a bonus point for the flight's turbulence adding the illusion that our plane was being chased by Rodan. 3

I enjoyed TKWWBK far more than you - which was the film-stealing performance for you?

My children's film of the year is Dora and the Lost City of Gold just ahead of Farmageddon.

The boy who played Merlin. Obviously doing a different kind of character to the other kids story-wise, but the fun-factor just increased every time he was on screen.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold. Sufficiently self aware enough to be good fun for adults and children. 6.5

Good choice.

69. You Were Never Really Here
Phoenix battles his demons and sex traffickers in this compelling thriller. 8

70. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Jason's terror reign continues in this improved sequel, featuring a young Feldman. 6.5

poprock

The Laundromat
The story behind the Panama Papers. Wants to be The Big Short. Isn’t. Falls flat.

ShabbyMcCrabby

That Never Really Here soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood too. Mmmmm tasty.
I need to go back and watch all of her films. I've heard Ratcatcher is really good but seems unavailable except pirates maybe. Didn't realise she did Kevin too. Been meaning to watch that proper for a while, last time I got partway through and my file was corrupted...

Webbins

Soundtrack was excellent, yes. I watched Kevin a good while ago now and that was very good too. Due a rewatch I think.

Yesterday
Really enjoyed it, great casting and very much a sweet Richard Curtis movie with a fun premise and of course lots of brilliant Beatles music.
8/10

ShabbyMcCrabby

If someone knows how to get a hold of Ratcatcher it would be much appreciated.

71. Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning
Nosedive in quality as 'Jason' inflicts terror on a halfway house. 5

Wookienopants

Stuber
A bit of fun, I have a soft spot for the buddy cop genre and this was very much ok for a quiet afternoon.
5/10

g.man

When I was in America in the summer, you literally couldn't turn on a tv without seeing an advert for that...every ten minutes...on every major channel.
It became like aversion therapy after a week or so.

Webbins

72. The Game Changers
Interesting documentary on the benefits of a plant based diet. 7

73. Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives
A rebooted, resurrected Jason fails to inject life into this limp showing.5

Spider Man Far From Home -

Marvel have jumped the shark. That's it. [4]

Diluted Dante

Reg has gone insane.

GooberTheHat

It's a 6 at best.

Kow

Yeah, it was shite. A total borefest of stupidity. 3.

Howdy, Stranger!
