The Girl With All The Gifts - 6.5 - 7/10

Put this on late one night, had no clue what it was about, just knew Glenn Close was in it. Kinda shocked she was in a zombie movie, kind of shocked it was a zombie movie. Doesn't really break much new ground, but it is slightly different from what we've come to expect. Worth watching,
 
Alien : Covenant - 6/10

Pretty predictable, fine but nothing special.

If you hated Prometheus because the characters made stupid decisions, you'll hate this movie too. If you hated Prometheus because there was very little of the Aliens in it, you may like this.

Personally, I thought Prometheus was better.

Very under appreciated, not by you, in general.

I must admit when the trailer first hit it didn't really interest me. I didn't like that Elliot was furry and looked more like a giant dog than a dragon. Then the movie came out and was getting good reviews so I figured I'd go ahead and check it out at some point. Watched it on NetFlix last night and really enjoyed it. The film has a lot of heart and soul.
 
Did a Bond mini-marathon over the weekend;

Casino Royale - 10/10

My favourite Bond film. Enjoyable and timeless.

Quantum of Solace - 6/10

This is the first time I have watched it since watching at the cinema back in 2008. I enjoyed it a lot more than I remember, and it's story works better if watched soon after Casino Royale. However, it does pale in comparison.

I do remember there being quite an overly exaggerated negative reaction to this movie in 2008. Any movie was going to struggle after the brilliant Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people would try and lead you to believe. Some of the negative sensationalist reviews and internet feedback in 2008 was a joke.

Skyfall - 8/10

A return to form. A nice blend of action and Bond character moments. Really enjoy this movie!

Spectre - 8/10

I may be in a minority here, but I enjoy Spectre slightly more than Skyfall. I remember a little negative sensationalist reaction to this movie, although nowhere near as much as there was for Quantum of Solace. I think the reviews were fairly divided. A common critique of Craig's Bond films is that they are missing some of the traditional Bond elements (although Casino Royale has many Bond elements, certainly enough for what is supposed to be Bond on one of his first missions as a 00 Agent). So here we have a film that is embracing a mix of the strengths of Craig's Bond films with more traditional Bond elements, and yet is is criticised for this?

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Spectre, and it tied up the Craig series nicely.

Looking forward to what is next in store for the series!

Yeah, but how many numbers? How are we supposed to understand if you use words?

:tap

By default it means 0/10

I thought it meant 10 by default. See where this gets us?

What do numbers really tell us about a movie though? Or anything? If you ask me about the women I ravaged last Friday night and I tell you that the first was a 0/10 and the second was a 10/10... well that doesn't tell you much about the emotional connection I made with either of them.

(Zero Dark Thirty: 8/10)
