I'm wandering if my age makes me long to avoid remakes because I hanker after the original. There were parts of Pet Sematary that I liked but there were more parts that I didn't. We disagreed slightly on the quality of this film but did agree that there were changes made that weren't necessary and didn't enhance the film in any way. It did however create lots of atmosphere, with a good amount of jump scares and some pretty good effects.


If you've seen the film you already know the story and if you haven't we don't want to spoil it for you. None of the acting was believable and there was no chemistry between the characters, with the exception of course of John Lithgow, heaven knows how he got caught up in it.

I will forever question the logic of a family with young children moving to such a location and not making their first priority the building of a bloody great wall!


We will give each film we see a score out of 10 for overall enjoyment.

This is not a cartoon. This is the real world.

We had really low expectations of Glass , because we hadn't enjoyed Split, although we both thought Unbreakable was a masterpiece. The fear was, where would M. Night Shyamalan take it, but where he took it was to comic book land and it worked beautifully. There were unexpected twists and turns but the core characters stayed true to their comic book personae, and new characters were introduced who helped the plot to build into the ultimate stand off. Visually it was very interesting, and colour was used to add to the fibre and atmosphere of the film, from the stark white hospital rooms and the vast pink room where they meet, to the silver metropolis seen from the parking lot. The characters were played brilliantly and Samuel L. Jackson was enigmatic in the title role. It was difficult not to feel empathy for Bruce Willis, as his intent was pure from the start, albeit vigilante. James McAvoy plays the part that is most difficult to sympathise with, and although he continues to b...

This was our third film of the day, and our first experience of an Unlimited screening. We were surprised and encouraged to see it so busy as we suspected that this might not be a very popular film. Based on an autobiography by Lee Israel, the film tells the story of Ms Israels foray into the world of deception, in an attempt to make money, having fallen on hard times. Melissa McCarthy embodies the role perfectly and presents a woman who is bitter and negative, but so lacking in insight that she fails to understand why the world doesn't appreciate her talents. As with all her character portrayals she does it with such finesse that you feel like you know the person. In this film she creates within the viewer a feeling of empathy for a character who isn't that pleasant. Add to this the obvious chemistry between McCarthys' character and the aging queen played by the delightful Richard E. Grant and the whole caper is an absolute joy to watch. It was tonally muted with an...

Couching for an Ouching

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part  was a really good and very funny film. It was great to see the original characters return and hear some familiar catchphrases. The film had the same great animation as the first one and the children thoroughly enjoyed it, as did the adults.  Looking at the negatives (none of which detracted at all from our enjoyment), the story wasn't as strong as the original but we knew that was always going to be the case because it would never have that originality again. It felt more contrived to hit certain targets that coincided with the real life action, and clearly relied much more heavily on songs, although they were super catchy and such great quality that it didn't matter. The whole thing was a real feel good experience, we found it an entertaining watch for any age group, and we are all looking forward to seeing it again in the future. Awesome!  We will give each film we see a score out of 10 for overall enjoyment. The...
