    If it even ten percent of the WoW fandom goes to see it, it'll be fine.

    In fact it will be fine since about a third of China seems to have gone to see it over the weekend.

    When in upper grade school, there was a famous gadget that was used in the original series. It was a pen that could be pulled apart in two pieces that made a communication device. Whenever it was used, the first thing after separating it was to speak these exact word's

    "Open Channel D"​


    When at school, prankster kids would take a brand new, freshly sharpened pencil then break it in half. When the other kid objected, the prankster would put the eraser part up to his mouth and then say, "Open Channel D"

    h8full 8 was allr8 m8, but i dont r8 it 8/8 - 7/10

    Good film, got it my grandad for his bday on dvd, worth watching

    The revenant - 7/10
    Again, good film, worth watching but nothing outstanding.

    Captain America: Civil War - 6/10
    Had some entertaining moments but was otherwise a really poorly scripted and directed film that was pretty boring.
    Also the title shouldnt have Captain America in it, should of just been "Civil War"

    Warcraft 7/10
    It's more yes than no. I expected more but i enjoyed and it's left an opening for a 2nd. There is a story line that I enjoyed. Would I watch it again yes I would.

    Hum, I can only imagine. Never saw the original, my education of early spy devices comes directly from "Get Smart"! :D

    The Witch
    2/10
    This was rubbish. And so hyped.

    The Huntsman - Winter's war
    5/10
    Oddly entertaining, though the support cast is much better than the main cast (Rob Brydon and Nick Frost especially)

    I decided to put my money where my mouth is - 11/10

    Watching "The President's Analyst" for close to the 6th time in my life. It seems so familiar. It's available on demand on the cable. (FOR FREE)

    The Nice Guys - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang/10

    It's Shane Black, he basically makes the same movie every time, except this one is a bit darker and bloodier than his previous efforts.

    There's a murder, there's a conspiracy, there will be twists and turns and it's really very good.

    I watched it to the end just now. I had a different experience this time.

    Towards, the end I forgot about the torture for having a negative attitude.

    It seems a lot longer this time. - in the movie.

    We still kill the old way.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3157224/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    Some parts of it were terribly acted and it was always banging on about the "good old days". Yeah, those days sounded fantastic to me.... Any way, I give it a 6/10. The torture scene had me in stitches.

    Then I watched John Wick.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2911666/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    I had never heard of this and only watched it because Sky bumped it to the top of the list on NowTV. Excuse my French but I f*****g LOVE it when I see films like this. I could wax lyrical all day about how amazing it is. I love it when a film you've never heard of that has a stupid name catches your eye and then you watch it and realise it's fanny tastic.

    One of the best movies in its genre IMO. I love me a good revenge flick and this is right up there with the likes of Law Abiding Citizen and The Crow. 9.5 out of ten, and has now found its way snugly into my top ten of all time.

    Then after I'd watched it and was telling my mate how much I loved it he informed me they're making a sequel like, right now. If it's anything near as good as the first then I will be chuffed.

    It's been well over an hour since watching the movie, "The President's Analyst" and all I can remember is the torture part.

    I wonder if it has something to do with conditioning.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows - 6/10

    Surprisingly entertaining (for a Michael Bay film).
    (disclaimer - I have a season ticket for the cinema, so in total, this film cost me £2.78 for a large coke).

    ME BEFORE YOU 8?10

    Real tear jerker even though I must say myself. Really really enjoyed but walked out the movie house emotionally drained.

    Exactly why I went!

    Bay is ruining my childhood but this is better than the first but is as cheesy as the 80's TV cartoon, for that I liked it.

    Pan 5/10

    Nice visuals, interesting score and a great evil Hugh Jackman, but overall not much of a tale.
