Rate the last movie you watched out of 10

Plague Dogs (1982). Classic not for kids animation from the same makers as Watership Down and also based on a Douglas Adams novel. Its basically as if that 80s PSA with Bonzo the sheep killing dog was made into a feature. 8/10
 
Strays!

It's talking dogs - I know, I know - not the kind of film one over the age of 12 would usually watch. I'm told that it's by the same guys that made the film Ted and is just as irreverent - think it's got a 15+ cert. Watched it with my missus and we had a couple of right belly-laughs at some of it.

8/10
 
Boy Kills World



This was a bit of a surprise, think of a mix between The Hunger Games, a bit of John Wick, add some Running Man and a bit of The Purge to spice things up. The boy of the film watches his mother and sister get killed by Hilda Van Der Coy, whose family rules over the city, and it leaves him deaf and dumb. He's picked up by the mysterious Shaman who trains him to become an "instrument of death" to avenge his family.

Plenty of action fight scenes and a few gruesome deaths later, a slight 'twist' is revealed about 30 minutes before the movie ends, you may or may not seeing it coming, overall, I'd say a
3/5 just for the action sequences and fight choreography.

did you watch a cam version?
 
Watched the Papillon remake last night (the 2017 version). It's relatively engaging, been a long time since I saw the original but it feels pretty similar. Charlie Hunman, the titular Papillon, is a fine looking chap but not much of an actor. Some of the supporting cast also a bit ffy. Remi Malek plays the Hoffman role and is reliable as ever.

Bono daugther Eve Hewson has a smallish role in the first 15 mins or so as Pap's girlfriend. She is a nice looking lady.

6/10.
