The bairn loved the first one and was really looking forward to number 2 as it came out just after she turned 15. She was gutted when she saw this one had an 18 cert!

Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers (1989)
Michael has floated down a river and been nursed back to health for a year by a bloke living alone in a hut (really). Now he’s back and terrorising a community that looks like they couldn’t be arsed to make it look autumnal and filmed it in LA. It’s the weakest one I’ve seen so far (I still need to watch 6) but even when they’re crap I have to respect the ability to keep pumping these out. They’re a easy, mindless watch in their formula and I like the presence of Pleasence.
2/10

I agree, switched it off after 20 mins.

if they had continued timeline 1 through to conclusion rather than do what they did it would have been 7/10 minimum.
More overpriced netflix point click shoot film making.
Taking one for the team there fella.
No one will judge you if you decide to stop this madness before Busta Rhymes makes an appearance

There was a point about 10 minutes in where a clown sound effect played after a poor gag from 2 cops where I thought to myself, “I don’t think this will be very good.”
I still finished it. It’s a sickness.
Some really mixed reviews for A House of Dynamite on this thread mindSo do I watch it or not?
Just jesting as personally I just watch something if it takes my fancy, even if someone says it's not worth it or crap. Though it's still got to have at least 5 on IMDB. I use that as a basic guide as my watchlist is pushing 2,000 so I've got plenty to watch anyway and don't want to add more to it

I was OK watching it. Needs a sequel
I thought I'd see this somewhere in this mentioned in this thread as I just posted in another thread. I've been watching it before the footy and it's a tough watch at the bit where..
the cops tell the dad the mother is dead, but then he has to tell the kids, then the woman's mother and finally the neighbours also finding out.

I expected something like this to happen, but my first takeaway was how that looked like a cracking street to grow up on. All the kids outside playing, all the neighbours watching out for each others kids. Felt like a proper community. Then the part you mention just hits you like a ton of bricks, it might actually be up there for the most emotional thing I've watched in a documentary, everything from not knowing how the dad had the strength to tell his kids, to the kids trying to process it in real time. I think it's slightly before this but when the police/paramedics ask the little lad who was with his mam at the door whether he's hurt and he says "No, but my heart is broken" proper emotional gut punch

but it's the way it had me thinking the mother was still alive on the way to hospital, they told the kid that also, plus they'd also said she had a pulse earlier. Then BAM when they tell the dad and he reacts the way he did was a huge shock and then him having to tell the bairns man! 
I've seen loads of stuff like this and like you it's one of the hardest hitting moments I've seen and so emotional

Just ignore the buffoons rating it less than at least a 7
I noticed most of them have Independence Day a 9/10 rating. Ffs

Touch (2024) 9/10
An Icelandic man looks for his first love from 50 years ago. It is indeed touching, well acted and does a great job of re-creating the later '60s. It's the sort of film which you wake up the next morning thinking about. It is on Sky Cinema.

The Undercover Man (1949)
Glenn Ford is a treasury agent trying to bring down the Big Fellow, who is hidden behind an army of intimidation and lawyers. Every witness he finds seems to suffer the same fate. He even moves his wife, Nina Foch, away, should they come directly after him.
Promises much, but can only be described as a slightly above middling effort. It feels longer than it is, which isn’t a good sign. There’s nothing really wrong with it, it just doesn’t light up the way it should.
6/10

Nightmare. I've just booked tickets to see this and Mr Wrong has given it a glowing review
Let's just say that a 1980s horror film that makes it's "scream queen" a sensitive young gay guy instead of a lass with big tits is swimming against the tide
FUCK YIU, YOU, AUTOCORRECT! DID I TYPE AN APOSTROPHE? DID I?
DID I?
I'm going to set fire to this phone

Ballad of a small player (netflix).
Enjoyed the gambling scenes though Baccarat seems a pure luck game and likely best avoided. The scenes in his hotel room felt claustrophobic and anxiety enducing.
Tilda Swinton seemed wasted in her peripheral part.
Bit arty.
6/10.
