The Force Awakens viewing 3: 9/10
Deadpool - 8/10
Man, what a breath of fresh air. It's like an elevated Troma film - 80's levels of violence, gore, full-frontal nudity and screwball humour. Not entirely perfect, but neatly avoids or parodies most of the more obnoxious tropes of a superhero origin film. Also takes a few swipes at the worst trends of both modern Hollywood and the modern comics industry that sadly will go over most casual viewer's heads.
Probably my favourite comicbook movie since Blade.
I'm really happy to hear Deadpool is a win. I'll get to watch it in my new house theater in a few months or so.
Spectre - 6.5/10
It was alright, not as bad as QOS, but nowhere near as good as CR and Skyfall. If this is Craig's final Bond, wish they could have gone out on a better note.
Just finsihed watching Divergent and Insurgent last night. My wife read the books and really wanted to see them so I finally conceded and we sat down to a 4 hour Divergent/Insurgent marathon. Initally they looked like more young adult films like Twilight or Hunger Games, but I have to admit that I actually enjoyed them. I thought Divergent was definitely the better of the two, but even Insurgent was pretty well done and for the most part entertaining. I would probably give Divergent an 8/10 and Insurgent a 6.5/10.
Agreed. Day of the Dead truly is the best zombie movie.DotD is still the best zombie film in my book.
