Last movie watched...

Gulf war moralising kidnap drama W.M.D.

The Martian. A very good adaptation of the book, however if you've not read the book yet, don't. I think people who've not read the book will enjoy the film much more than those of us that have.

Still it's one of the better films this year and manages to make science sexy again. I'll be seeing it again soon.

And The Martian for me as well.
Had a couple of spare hours to fill, and this did the job, but it's not great by any stretch.

kind of a movie spun off from a movie, This is England... the final.

  I followed the series after loving the film to bits very powerful stuff but always managed to get the laughs in making it feel natural...last nights final was not a disappointment ,from the [spoiler]wedding of woody and lol to the final meeting between milky and combo[/spoiler]  shane meadows and the cast (especially joe gilgun) have made you care about the characters and they will be missed.

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire for me. Bea had been on her hen party the night before and an afternoon in a duvet watching Harry Potter was what she demanded so I obliged!

It was perfect Sunday afternoon couch material really, and I very much enjoyed it. There were a couple of moments of banter between Ron and Harry that got long and hearty laughs out of me and I started to well up a little at Hermoine's party strop. I think despite resisting for so long (and still resisting to some extent through the first 3 films) that I'm now invested in the characters and in it for the long game. Also the addition of the lovely Clemence Poesy to the cast is a boon. Very keen to watch the next one now.

The ghastly and terrible but strangely enjoyable War Pigs starring Luke Goss from Bros and Mickey Rourke as a Frankenstein faced general. Good fun on the IMDb Comments page too.

Were you talking about this on Saturday night..? I have a vague memory of someone telling me about it...

Wanted, which I really enjoyed at the time and haven't watched for years, was pleasantly surprised that I still really enjoyed it, yay! It's all very mad, but I love the 'superheroes with bullet powers' angle and last big action set-piece where McEvoy goes on the rampage is still one of the most thrilling action scenes out there for me. It's ludicrous, but very badass.

And watched the 3D Blu-Ray of Fury Road, which is still a masterpiece. After seeing it a few times in the cinema and then waiting for the home release it was really nice to fire it up and have it all come flooding back. Still an incredible film in every way I can think of. The picture on the 3D Bluray is fantastic, even if the 3D effect itself isn't as impressive as in some others I've watched. Doesn't really matter when it looks this gorgeous though.

Got a little caught up the "Spectre" hype and re-watched the 2006 Casino Royale last night, certainly a good film and the reboot Bond needed, but after an explosive start it fizzles out a little in the middle act.

And watched the 3D Blu-Ray of Fury Road, which is still a masterpiece.

Doesn't really matter when it looks this gorgeous though.

I am desperate to see Mad Max Fury Road having missed it at the pictures (having a 3 year old girl my cinema trips are limited to the mainly animated/family freindly varity especially after the "you let her watch the Wicker Man?!?!?" debacle of 2014...I thought she was asleep...she wasnt) and that will be my next blu ray purchase. Is it worth shelling out the extra for the 3d version?

Depends how much you like 3D really. I always find 3D Blu-rays to be the best picture around, so if you want it to look as great as possible then it's probably your best bet! That said, it really isn't a film that needs it, and for most of the movie doesn't feel like it's really adding much. Some shots are really eye popping, but having seen it in 2D and 3D I can't say I enjoyed one more than the other. It's a fantastic looking movie either way!

[Goaty]

it's perfect if you got big screen!

Yes, you were bemoaning the fact that some sites don't like negative reviews - the W movie Quest has no such qualms or restrictions!

Perfect thank you, yes I generally find 3D picture quality to be very good too, for me 3d is a nice to have rather than an essential, but when its filmed well it can certainly add.

I was hoping there would be some involvement in the extras from Brendan McCarthy (a commentary would have been nice) after hearing him on the Thrillcast, sadly it doesnt seem so from what i have seen looking online

Grim British prison drama We Are Monster.

The bizarre relationship between sex and violence in horror movies is well-documented elsewhere, but there's a kind of weary resignation to the depiction of sex in the later Friday films that's at odds with how movies like the Hills Have Eyes and Evil Dead remakes would later take things to a logical end in fetishising sexual assault just as much as they did graphic dismemberment - the longer in the tooth the Friday franchise gets, the more it seems almost embarrassed by its probably-mandatory titty shots to the point that by the tenth installment they'd been removed altogether, and I can't escape the feeling that while the rest of the horror genre was escalating things to become more gruesome and unpleasant rather than scary, Friday was resigned to becoming a cartoon, complete with indestructible Looney Tunes-style protagonist.  There have been 12 of them so far, and I think it's safe to say that the producers have their process down by now, even when the series takes a leftfield turn into becoming a Hidden knock-off or is In Space Now.
Part 8 -Jason Takes Manhattan - makes you wait quite a while for Jason to actually Take Manhattan, as only the last thirty minutes or so are set in the city, and even then it's just a version that looks like it belongs in one of those Ninja Turtles movies from the 1990s, all bright colours and slimy back alleys full of toxic waste drums.  Some ninjas might have been a fun addition, but as it is, it's probably one of the last times the series was something you could watch either way as something to mock for its terribleness or enjoy as a low-fi meat-and-potatoes slasher flick.
Part 9 - Jason Goes To Hell - also makes you wait quite a bit for Jason to Go To Hell, but while it gets there it's an amusingly grisly trip.  A knock-off of then-recent horror cult classic The Hidden more than it was a traditional Friday movie, it does at least manage to be inventively disgusting, with the heart-eating and dead-mom corpse hijacking bits being standout "urgh!" moments made to gross out the vast majority of the audience who were likely trying to eat their pizza and drink their beer at the time.
Part 9.5 - Freddy Vs Jason - is a hoot, with self-awareness taken to new levels with Freddy at one point looking genuinely pained at the realisation that once removed from a world he fully controls, he's considerably less witty and inventive than he thinks he is.  Confronted with a choice between two victims or one, he resignedly admits that he has to kill the black kid first because them's horror movie rules - it's that kind of film, with the Friday series' sensibility towards the violence and the Nightmare series' approach to inventive deaths and fight scenes.  It's good fun when it finally gets to the Jason/Freddy throwdowns, but Kelly Rowland's acting nearly kills it before it gets that far.
Jason x - In Space Now - doesn't actually take that long to get In Space Now, and is a lot more amusing than I remember.  More inventively stupid than usual, it throws sci-fi cliches like holodecks and cryogenic suspension into the mix and kind of makes me think how so many trashy sci-fi shows of the time could have been vastly improved by dropping CyberJason into them to massacre the cast so the series could be suddenly and definitively cancelled forever - as seems to be the case with Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, as several of the cast members appear in this for some reason, shortly before the series was cancelled forever.  The ending has a cyclic quality to it I didn't remember or expect and which the series probably doesn't deserve, but overall, the film works as a metacommentary on the idea of Jason enduring forever through quirks of reinvention or capricious fate, and is a good cap on the original series before it went all reboot-y on us.
