Walter Cronc

Great Wall. Brutal. 2/10

Ghost in the shell. Not much better. 4/10

Syferus

Get Out - joint-best film so far this year. Smart, funny, chilling.

Logan - the other best film of the year so far. The best superhero movie of all time.

Kong: Skull Island - quality popcorn film that knows exactly what it is and hams it up effectively.

Life - Deadpool and Donnie Darko are scientists trapped on the ISS with the first alien life form that has been discovered. Derivative sci-fi horror but well acted and executed. I'm a sucker for hard sci-fi.

Split - James McAvoy
I liked it a lot. Sits with you. Great underlying story-line with the main female character.  Very interesting subject matter (multiple personalities disorder). I thought McAvoy was superb...Some thrilling moments. Nice twist at the end too... 7/10

Split was good, but the end bit was really exciting.  Knew I recognised that music somewhere before.

I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Apparently going to be a film that brings Unbreakable and Split together.

Very.

From BBFC:

There are scenes of strong bloody violence which include shootings and the use of a harpoon. Some of the violence features Wolverine and another mutant using blades that are part of their physiologies to slash and stab enemies. The sequences of violence are rapidly-edited, with a focus on action. The violence is frequently bloody and there is occasional sight of injury detail in its aftermath.
