    Caught Goosebumps on Netflix. I agree with many of the reviews: it's surprisingly good...and funny. There is one line, delivered by Ryan Lee of Super 8 (he actually steals the whole film), that is so perfectly, wonderfully delivered, that I was dying laughing and had to rewind it.

    And the film includes the same air bag gag as SP. Ugh.

    The Skin I Live In (2011)

    Been wanting to see this for a while and finally caught up with it. Well worth the wait.

    It's the sort of film you wished Cronenberg had made.

    Loved the way it begins with this bizarre set up and gradually unravels in flashback to deliver the 'didn't see that coming!' twist.

    Pretty much unclassifiable, but it skips across multiple genres with ease. A beautiful and grotesque film in equal measure.

    It's been 8 years since I've seen it. Again very impressed by the visuals and the music.
    A true masterpiece and a timeless classic.

    QUESTION TO THE FORUM:

    I only realised today by stumbling on the info on Imdb that there are two versions of THE SHINING. I have the Blu-ray which contains the European version of the movie, running time 1:59 hours.
    I did a little research and obviously there are different opinions of which version is better or if the long version even is considered approved by Kubrick.
    But as it is a whopping half hour I wonder if I should get the American Blu-ray and watch it.

    Have you seen both versions or only one of them? What do you think about this?

    It is my favoured version of the film - don't know if it changes the film in anyway but I would say get the longer version you won't (shouldn't) be disappointed!

    I love that movie! Beautiful, yet disturbing, gave me some 'Eyes Without A Face' vibes.

    I'm glad you didn't hate Civil War. Kudos to you for watching it at all.
    Not sure if you have seen Guardians Of The Galaxy, which is my favourite of Marvel's and one of my favourites of all comic book movies.

    I enjoyed The Winter Soldier more than Civil War. :)

    Yep agree. Definitely had that vibe. Must re-watch Eyes Without A Face as it's been a long time since I watched it.

    I love Winter Soldier more than Civil War too. Civil War is good, don't get me wrong, but I experienced Winter Soldier as a more intense, clever and dramatic film. It's probably the most "grown up" of the Avengers series. The grand action finale in WS is the kind of roller-coaster ride I can't get enough of. CW was good in every way but slightly less than WS IMO.

    That said, I feel confident enough to say that right now, Cap's "trilogy" is my favourite of the Avengers series. I prefer these three films over the three IM films and both Thors.

    If you enjoyed Banderas in that role, check out 'Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!' if you haven't yet, as it's directed by the same guy.

    You and I both. The ones I've seen, I've really enjoyed, but there are still quite a few I need to get around to watching.

    "Eyes Without a Face" is really something else. Very engaging and original.

    Captain America: Civil War Finally had time to watch it and what I will say is Marvel will do well to top this film in the future. Without a doubt the two most interesting characters for me in the MCU are Cap and Bucky, anything revolving around them works on every level.

    And... AIRPORT!!!!!!! ^:)^

    Just watched Jurassic World on TV yesterday (because there was no way I was paying to see it). Man that was bad.

    I can't even bring myself to watch a free copy of it. Trailers told me enough.

    @bondjames @DarthDimi @Creasy47 @doubleoego

    Went to the cinema tonight for... The Nice Guys (2016)

    Absolutely friggin fantastic. Goes straight as my favorite film of the year so far (sorry Civil War) and I don't think it will be overtaken (apart from 'Jason Bourne'). This is one of the fun and flat-out entertaining films I've seen in years, if not in over a decade. Move over, you huge blockbusters like Marvel, Star Wars, Bond, Mission Impossible (and I sure love these films, don't get me wrong) but 'The Nice Guys' eats these films for breakfast. I haven't laughed this hard in years, if ever. Russell Crowe is a f*cking legend, and showcases twice the charisma and badassery he has shown in 'Gladiator' and 'American Gangster'. Crowe and Gosling form one of the most entertaining duos seen in decades (atleast since Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson in Die Hard 3). This film will become a cult classic, just an endless succession of soon-to-be-classic scenes, one after the other, non stop for 2 hours.

    To anyone who enjoy seeing high level of violence and humour with utterly badass stars, please go see this film now.

    Thanks @DaltonCraig007. That film looks great from the trailers, so I knew it would be a blast.

    I'm totally pumped now that you've confirmed it's going to be killer. From the trailers, it gives off a vibe that's a cross between an Elmore Leonard & a Tarantino flick. Sadly, I'll have to wait one more week before I can see it.

    @DaltonCraig007, so happy to hear you enjoyed it as much as I did. It's currently my favorite of the year, as well, it was terrific and very, very funny.

    If you are a fan of the Jurassic Park trilogy you should watch JW. If not, it's not necessary.

    Jurassic World was able to re-create original vibe of the first two movies. I really liked it and Chris Pratt totally rocks. If you like him you have to see it.

    But I can see why young people may find JW so-so. Compared to other fantasy stuff around, it's only just another fantasy-action flick.

    The reason for its huge success lies in the timing. Whole generations like me who were around 18-30 in 1993 went to watch JW because of all the fond nostalgic memories.
    When I went to see it last year several times the audience was mixed from teenagers to old people, something I had not seen to such a degree since Skyfall.

    A lot of people give JW pepper around here. Haven t seen it yet myself, but it can t be worse than the original films.

    Oh, yes it can. The acting is a special kind of bad, and the ending is ludicrous. There's no need to watch it, just watch this;



    And yes. That title image is of a man, on a motorcycle, leading his pack of raptors. ~X(

    I liked Jurassic World, found it very entertaining. Much better then 2 and 3.

    JW is to the Jurassic franchise what T-Genisys was to the Terminator franchise in my view. It's much more fun than the last one of the original series, but also more child friendly and unserious about its premise. Played purely for entertainment. Nothing more.

    T-Genisys was Shakespeare compared with JW (Pepper).

    The Shining (1980). Best horror film ever.
