I found Prometheus a little slow but this is back to the format I like. Having said that, I am now going to watch Prometheus again tonight just to re-cap on what happened.
Enjoyed it to. I took my son to see it yesterday morning and it is perfect Saturday morning pictures fare for teenage boys*
Beware at the o2 the age policy for films. They are very strict. We were sold tickets but then the fella at the entrance demanded id, which my boy didn't have (he's 14) 15 minutes later we managed to blag it but it was touch and go.
Enjoyed 'Get Out', though the twist wasn't hard to see coming.
'Unfriended' on Netflix, entirely on a girl's computer screen. I found it bearable but I can see why others may not. Silly last couple of seconds though.
Sausage Party. Saw it at the cinema last year. Just seen it again on Sky. Brilliant. Should be compulsory viewing every month in all schools in the U.K. Particularly faith schools!
I tried to watch this the other day, turned off after 15-20 mins, is it actually worth sticking with? it was awful and i usually like Seth Rogan
watched it at the weekend. Very vulgar with more f & c words than I would have expected for a 15 rated film. I'm no prude but thought it a bit OTT. The premise of the film was ok but dragged on too much - should have been a 15/20 min "sketch" or short film ala Wallace & Gromitt. stuck it out for about 3/4 of an hour & then switched off.
Only decent bit was the Woody Allen take-off for the bagel.

I have to say Unfriended may be the worst film I've ever seen.
Jason Bourne - I enjoyed this addition to the Bourne series. The Deep Dream plot was a bit weak but that aside it is still a decent action movie.
Got any idea why the head of the CIA decided he needed to be on stage with the head of Deep Dream? What was that about?
Spoiler alert - I believe it was because he scheduled to speak alongside Riz Ahmed's character and also to make sure he wasn't going to to say anything to incriminate The CIA director because he helped him to succeed with Deep Dream.

Which begs the question, if the head of the CIA is running a super-shady deal with someone in the public eye (and saying out loud earlier in the film that they shouldn't be seen together), standing on a stage with him in public (the public has no reason whatsoever to associate the two men together) seems a bit counter productive. Especially as it wasn't his presence that stopped any incriminating statements, but the ludicrously cliched assassination plan!
Jason Bourne was a badly, badly, badly written movie, and I hope it hasn't killed one of my favourite franchises!

Haha fair enough!
State of Grace starring Gary Oldman and Ed Harris is worth a watch if you like bad films...

Wouldn't say I like bad films just didn't hate unfriended, but thanks for the recommendation.
I just saw a beach-based movie based on a popular 90s TV show featuring lots of slow-motion running in bathing suits (reviews are embargoed for another week so have to be subtle here).
It's not funny/ silly enough to be a committed spoof, and it's not smart enough to be 21 Jump Street. They hint at character arcs but forget about them for the most part. A really charismatic cast and occasional great joke pretty much saves it from disaster. That and the fact that there's so much to... see.
Also, the soundtrack is a major wind up. There's ill-fitting music over EVERY SINGLE SCENE.
Fun, not a disaster, but really not funny enough to be memorable.

So bad its almost 'good'. Modern horror films are truly shite.
