I watched Hitman Agent 47 with low expectations, due to me being one of those who liked the first film and feared that number two might fall short without the return of Olyphant.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the new film, I would give it 7 of 10.

Genre:            Horror
Directed By:    Guillermo del Toro
Written By:      Guillermo del Toro, Matthew Robbins, Lucinda Coxon
Runtime:         1 hr. 59 min.

Universal Pictures - Official Site

A gothic horror film with many twists.
Crimson peak is a tale of greed and deceit, Chastain's performance was marvellous and the production design was superb.
Guillermo del Toro's direction and atmosphere are as swift and wonderful as ever.
Though I would say the running time was rather long and many scenes could have been shortened before the climax.
Not really scary, but fun to watch anyway.

I give it 6,5/10

pan 2015 3/10 the only good thing about this movie was Hugh jackman he gave a great performance. other than that it was boring and the CGI didn't look real you could clearly tell it was super cartoony

[bankska22]

Dracula Untold: Bad review, however I really enjoyed this movie. A bit short but good. 8 out of 10.

[RRJR84]

The Condemned 2 1/10 horrible sequel and very boring, didn't have nearly as much excitement as the one with Steve Austin

12 Rounds 3: Lock down 2/10 it was better than condemned2 but ti was still a crappy movie and Dean Ambrose is not the greatest actor wwe as to offer. The first 12 Rounds with John Cena is way better

Santa's Little Helper 4/10 another wwe film that just wasn't good

[kylumi]

Ray Donavan:

Great acting, super storylines.....lot's of sex and violence....Badass! 8.5/10

[bankska22]

Lucy: Not what I expected. 5 out of 10.

[RRJR84]

Home Alone 1&2 10/10 still great  movies all these yrs later.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens 8/10 my least favorite of the 7 films. still a good movie but it felt more like a spin off than a continuation

I'm amazed by how incredible this movie is.
Matt Damon's performance was great. As are the locations.
If you had told me this movie was shot on Mars, I would have believed you.
An incredibly fun and thrilling film, A true return to form for Ridley Scott.
Everything that happen to bring Matt home seemed like this could happen.
Kept your interest the whole time.
I really like this movie, I will watch it again, several times lol

I give it 9/10

[RRJR84]

Shark Lake 3/10 seems to be they're trying to copy red water but in a worse way

The Disappearance of Alice Creed 3/10 nothing to overly special about this thriller  

We Are Your Friends 6/10 partial drug movie partial music flick

A Christmas Horror Story 3/10 a bunch of scattered stories revolving around krampus

[Wrench]

Spy 1/10 every other word the F word
Man from U.N.C.L.E. 4/10 a bit slow not like the old days of U.N.C.L.E.
Ghost 8/10 wife's pick

[Pico]

Spy 1/10

That's very bad

[RRJR84]

Drew Struzan: The Man Behind the Poster 10/10 fantastic documentary about his magnificent posters over the yrs and his struggle to get there

[bankska22]

Just watched the season finale of the Last Ship. This is my #1 show at the moment. 20 stars. Non stop suspense and action. Rhona Mitra is nice to look at as well.

[Pico]

I really don't like that show, to amateuristisch

[RRJR84]

The Intern (2015) 9/10 Fantastic movie i loved it. just didn't like the ending felt too open for my liking otherwise i would give it a 10

Steve Jobs (2015) 5/10 honestly ppl are praising this over Ashton kutchers but i liked kutchers version better. this one was kinda all over the place and didn't really show where he started unlike the other one. it did massive time jumps and left out a lot imo

The Walk (2015)

The Walk is the true story of a young dreamer, Philippe Petit,
and a band of unlikely recruits who together achieve the impossible:
an illegal wire walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.
With little more than nerve and blind ambition, Petit and his ragtag crew overcome daunting physical obstacles, betrayals, countless close calls and overwhelming odds to beat the system and execute their mad plan.

Rating:            PG (for thematic elements involving perilous situations, and for some nudity, language, brief drug references and smoking)
Genre:            Drama, Action & Adventure
Directed By:    Robert Zemeckis
Written By:      Philippe Petit, Robert Zemeckis, Christopher Browne
Runtime:         2 hr. 03 min.

Sony Pictures - Official Site

I was really surprised by The Walk.
Visually and emotionally powerful, the acting all around was fantastic.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was really charming and charismatic as Philippe Petit.
The rest of the supporting cast all gave good performances.
The Walk is a brilliantly crafted love letter to a man with amazing passion and his towers.
As for suspense, especially if you are not fond of heights, "The Walk" makes "Everest" look like a bump in the road.

I give it 8,0/10

[ctaulbee]

I may have to watch this now, umm... thanks Pico ? lol

[ctaulbee]

Drew Struzan

Is "the man"... period  

I want to be him when I grow up
