Yes, it does, but it's also advising you that it's really not suitable for little ones. When I saw Fantastic Beasts... there were a few probably six/seven year olds taken out by their parents because it was too scary for them.

When I took my daughter to see Frozen (for the 3rd or 4th time) it started late. The trailers came on and the message about them being appropriate for the certificate of the film.
I wasn't really paying attention but noticed they started getting nearer and nearer the mark. I looked at my daughter and she had sunk back into her seat with a look of concern on her face when there was an advert for a shot up film. I asked the woman next to me if this was the screen for Frozen, to which she replied "no love, Robocop"

Watched David Brent last night, huge fan of the office and extras, but don't like him as a stand up. It has to be the most cringeworthy, but funniest thing I have seen this year, some real hide behind the sofa in embarrassment (for him) moments, my favourites being the tattoo and N word scenes, real lol moments.
Watched this today. Agree with Everything you've said. So cringy but a lot of laugh out loud moments. Definitely worth an hour and a half of your time. Especially if your a fan of his other work
I don't think it's for under-10s. It's by far the most violent SW movie, lots of death and destruction, albeit bloodless violence. It's a bit like how the last Harry Potter movies were made with the awareness that the audience has grown up with them - this is for the 30-somethings, not the kids.
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - is a superb documentary made by Ron Howard and is about the touring years from 1963 to 1966 when they decided to quit going on the road. It features archival footage of the Beatles concerts and the mayhem they put up with. I really enjoyed this film. If you are a Beatles fan or not it's a fascinating look at the band in their prime, The thing that strikes me is how together they were and how professional they were especially considering the screaming was so loud that they couldn't hear themselves play. Needless to say the music is great and Ron Howard has made it so in every concert you can hear them playing clearly while still hearing the pandemonium going on around them. What I didn't realise was that the Beatles quit touring so early but you can see why they had to. There is brilliant footage of their last live performance together on the roof of the Apple building in London shot exactly two months after I was born and the difference between them then and five years previous is staggering. Recommended.
Not being a massive fan of horror films I'm quite selective in which ones I watch . The reviews for this were pretty good so I gave it a go and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's the story of three friends who decide to rob the home of a blind war veteran but things go terribly wrong when they find out that there is more to this man than they first thought. What I like about this is that it doesn't have any supernatural aspect to the story so it feels more real than most horrors. There are some quite disturbing scenes so it's not for the faint hearted . One especially involving a turkey baster but you will have to see the film to find out what that's all about ! All in all it's well worth a watch but not with granny at Christmas.

If someone sees it with a 7 year old can you et me know how they found it please
Saw it sunday with my 7 year old, he really loved it, said he preferred it to Force Awakens. I'd say judge it on how sensitive you child is. There's a lot of death of main characters (really can't say more), and I got asked why did so and so die. So you just brace yourself for that.
Brotherhood is the third in the series of Noel Clarke films set in London and featuring Sam Peel . Sam has grown up and is a different person to the one we saw in Kidulthood but trouble still seems to follow him in the form of an enemy who has come to seek revenge. What I like about these films is they feel very real. Although Brotherhood is more polished than the two previous films it still has that Independent vibe about it. None of the people on show are particularly likable which makes it quite hard to care what happens to them and the language is uncomfortable to hear at times . The main villain's racism seems over the top and unnecessary and kind of spoils what is an interesting film.
I tried watching it twice VG. I got about 5 minutes in and wondered what the fuck I was thinking. It's astonishing how wrong they got it.
I didnt mind the introduction of characters, but the whole Cara Delivigne witch and her brother thing was just weird. Didn't work at all. Then most of the scenes being in empty streets and buildings just made it look cheap. Was laughing towards the end it was so bad.
I think you're being kind! The character intros were OK first time I saw it (interminable the second time), but there was no story or pacing there.
After that, the entire plot is complete nonsense. They sent the Squad to help Viola Davis travel from the top floor to the roof, at which point we found out she was handy with a gun anyway. And even then, her helicopter crashed. And the peril only existed because of the Squad built to fight the peril? Eh? The Honest Trailer for this one is hilarious.

Burn, Burn, Burn Independent British road movie with relative unknowns in the leads but cameos from established actors. Really enjoyed this one, and highly recommend it. 8/10.
Watched The Dressmaker last night on DVD. I bought it on impulse as part of an HMV sale, for a night when the telly was sh1te. Thought it might be ok for family viewing (ie she would watch it and for once not complain that it was weird).
Despite, or praps because of, my low expectations, I really enjoyed it. Dont let the cover on the box put you off, it's got a lot of comedic moments, it's a tale of revenge, an unfolding mystery, and there are a fair few surprises in the telling. Highly recommended. 8/10.

It was changed last minute as I understand it to be more fun.
Think I rated it after 1st watch but latter ones the acting of everyone was a bit shit.
Turns out the film's title was actually 'Fantastic BEASTS and where to find them'

Had high hopes but thought it was pretty shocking tbh.

It was a bit boring at the start but better towards the end.
