Me too, should be a hoot.

For those of you don't particularly want to click on the link just to find out WTF pharvey is talking about :roll: the film is Renfield. It looks like it's going to be one of Nicholas Cage's better efforts.

Seven Kings Must Die

This is the end of The Last Kingdom series, rolled into a movie. It tells the story of Uhtred of Bebbanburg and the 937 battle of Brunanburh which was a turning point in English history. If you liked the series, this will be for you.

Interesting, I just watched the movie yesterday.

Scream VI on its way through on yts. Heard it's a really good one. Guessing the 1080 will be there in the hour.

Dungeons & Dragons, Renfield and The Pope's Exorcist all released today. Not seen any as watching them in cinema this week. All fairly decent reviews.

Welcome :D

I couldn't be patient with The Pope's Exorcist. Stuck it on this evening—is brilliant! One of the better possession movies of recent memory. Based (very loosely I'm guessing :laugh:) on a real guy and real events. Russell Crowe doing his thing, a good score and great setting, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Recommend.

Renfield..thoroughly enjoyed it. Nic Cage at his manic best.

Evil Dead Rise coming tomorrow. Gore, guts and goofy possession, it's a whole lot of fun. A very worthy entry for the famous franchise. The 2013 remake was excellent if you've not seen it yet.

Guy Ritchie's The Covenant is out. He can bring out some bangers— Lock Stock, Snatch, The Gentleman (I liked Aladdin, too :wink:). Jake Gyllenhaal stars to boot.

'U.S. Army special operations sergeant and Afghanistan War veteran, John Kinley, returns to the country to rescue the interpreter who once saved his life from the Taliban.'

Very good reviews mostly.

Watched it tonight as this has been in my box for 2 months waiting for a stream

OK, I'll get straight to the point.... good solid movie but not quite as good as I had hoped for.

Won't say any more don't want to spoil it for others.

You should all watch though, for certain!
