    Clerks 3

    I’m obviously biased but I thought it was decent. Clever enough dialogue. Not a patch on the original but it was never going to be.

    Kind of resonated with me as well as some of you will know.

    It was either good or I was just nostalgic as *. Either way I enjoyed it so this is the most pointless review ever.

    Did you listen to Kevin Smith's comments during the credits? Most people in the cinema screening I was in had walked out as the credits rolled and missed it.

    I actually liked the movie, (like all 3 actually), though this one did naturally rely on a lot of in-jokes and references to the originals so was the least 'stand-alone' of the 3. That all said, I've always liked most of Kevin Smith's stuff... with the exception of Red State, Cop Out and Jersey Girl - apart from George Carlin as the grandad.

    I don't think I did. I just realized I crashed out stoned to Clerks last night after watching 3.

    All that was missing was the cheesecake foil tray with just dust left on it.

    I'm off to watch the end credits of 3.

    Halloween Ends. Some pretty comical death scenes but overall, pretty nonsensical.

    Cheers for the heads up, I missed that in the credits too, was nice. I agree with Randell coz my job would be amazing if it wasn’t for the * customers too. But some customers are good for a laugh, sometimes with them, sometimes behind their backs hehe

    Thought the fact the camera kept focusing on the lassie was excellent as well. :34:

    Still processing it, its more drama than comedy, McDonagh brothers have such a unique style.

    The Greatest Beer Run Ever - 7.5/10 Thought this was pretty good, got better as it went on. Brilliant soundtrack.

    Not that it needs said again and this is a slightly light hearted take, but Vietnam, what an absolute cluster *.

    Just finished watching it, Zac efron was decent for a change.

    Good movie.

    Aye, be difficult for someone like him to shake off the connection to the early * he was involved with, but he was good in this and that Ted Bundy movie I thought.

    Bullet Train.

    Chaotic brilliant funny nonsense. Switch your brain off for a couple of hours and enjoy.

    Decent, but lacking any kind of drama/action.

    6/10

    Barbarian. Quickly descends from intriguing opening to absolute nonsense.

    I’m not a big horror fan so don’t take my word for it, but avoid this pile of dung.

    3/10. All 3 points for the first third of the film.

    The good nurse - Very good film, well acted, mad story. 7.5/10

    Foxcatcher - Very good film, well acted, mad story. 7.5/10

    Get Smart - Perfect film if you’re looking for something stupid and fun to pass the time and you like Steve Carrell.

    All quiet on the western front, it was a very good war movie but as an adaption it wasn’t very accurate. Still if you take it as just a stand alone then I would say it’s 8/10
