TheDeeDon Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Rouge 1 is phenomenal :thumbsup: COuldn't agree more. A very impressive film and would add you wouldn't have to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Watched the Accountant tonight, wasn't bad. Easy enough viewing and a few decent fight scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nips_and_Tatties Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 COuldn't agree more. A very impressive film and would add you wouldn't have to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy it. I was a bit disappointed tbh. The first hour dragged a bit and wasnt very star warsesque for me. There was absolutely no magic (using the force itself) in it. No light sabre scenes (i wont mention the end) and nobody i could really relate to unlike every other star wars film. I still enjoyed it but was disappointed. Bring back the magic please.the mystery and drama and the actual possibilitirs the 'force' can give u . 6/10 for me but each to our own.

BigAl Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Yes mate. Enjoyable.

Nips_and_Tatties Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Watched Deepwater Horizon last night. Slow start but pretty good action/drama film with Mark Wahlberg. Some great direction during the disaster. Many Aberdonians will relate to it I'm sure. 6/10 but I'm harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Watched the Accountant tonight, wasn't bad. Easy enough viewing and a few decent fight scenes. Got around your watching it last night. Thoroughly enjoyable film. Watched the Jason Bourne one the night before and of the two The Accountant was my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Watched the place beyond the pines last night, decent watch. Turned dark after a relatively slow start and you wondered what was going to happen. Surprised I haven't seen the town, nips. Sounds like my kinda film!

RicoS321 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think ben affleck is a great actor. Its a classic oldie crime thriller type. Watch it manc I think he can be very good (Affleck), but tends to appear in shite films, it's like he hasn't got a quality checker. The accountant was cliched horseshite for example, but Argo was very good. However I nearly always try and catch his films as he's got a few crackers. There's just a lot of shite to wade through first. Watched War Dogs last night. Quite decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgindon Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yes mate. Enjoyable. Though not as good as 'flight' with densel Washington and that opening scene...yummy yum yum Flight was brilliant.Always like a Tom Hanks film so look forward to that one. Watched a random film called Plain Truth,about an Amish girl getting pregnant and the following rigmarole.Just looking at Amish people makes me depressed,but it was a decent watch with an unexpected ending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Watched our kind of traitor the other day which was adapted from John le carre's book. Was decent enough but occasionally a bit dull and predictable. Wouldn't go out of your way to go see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
