I, Tonya

 

Quite enjoyed it. Probably exaggerated true story done in a bit of a faux documentary style of white trash ice skater Tonya Harding, plays like a farce so is really quite entertaining, but also obviously pretty sad and brutal in parts.

 

The start where Margot Robbie is playing a 15 year old Tonya is a bit wrong, but as she gets older the performance gets better so decent job by Margot. Alison Janney is also rather good as her arsehole mum.

 

7/10

The Wailing

 

South Korean mystery horror type thing on Netflix. Good atmosphere, well shot and an interesting set-up, but it's one of those films that aims to keep you guessing and as such manoeuvres towards a climax that - upon reflection - doesn't make much sense. Took the easy road for an ending in my view.

 

6/10

The Godfather - 8.5/10

 

Excellent, even if overacting is a bit of an issue.

The Godfather - 8.5/10

 

Excellent, even if overacting is a bit of an issue.

The actual Godfather is at least a 9 any day in my book. Can watch it and number 2 over and over again. Majestic film.

[SasaS]

Who's overacting in the Godfather?

Overreacting, maybe. Sonny being the worst offender with his rash judgments. .

Connie and Sunny are both guilty of it. The brilliance of Brando, Pacino, and Duvall makes for an awkward juxtaposition.

[Lee909]

Think Sonny is fine.

Suits the character from both the film and book. Similar with Connie thiugh she annoys the fuck out of me in both that and Rocky.

 

"You can't win"

 

He should have left her for that alone

Route Irish

 

John Bishop dies.

 

I havent got to the end yet, so cant score it.

I had my own little mafia / gangster retrospective a year or two ago, I remember both Godfathers still looked great, I would probably still rate them top 5 of all times / all genre.  Once Upon a Time in America was however a disappointment, it was always on my top 10 list but it felt incredibly dated, every flaw I used to neglect painfully obvious. De Palma's Scarface which I used to think was OK looks like some kind of postmodern joke to me now.

[Tony Moanero]

John Cazale was ace.

Maybe it's a de Palma thing but I thought the same about The Untouchables.

It's a terrible film with an awful soundtrack

[Grinch]

Masters of the universe. 8/10

 

Nostalgic fun

Lucy

 

Not even Scarlett Johanson could save this steaming pile of shit. 2/10

Aye. That film is complete fucking wank.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

In Bruges.

 

Only watched it once before.

 

Still magnificent.

 

25/10.

That's for John Lennon you Yankee cunt

I watched Jerry Maguire for the first time in about 15 years and it hasn’t aged well at all.

 

Still easy to watch but the acting is quite horrific.

[grazywalker]

King Arthur - legend of the Sword

I have no idea what the fuck was happening or happened . Like everyone in the film I gave up caring after 20 minutes.

2 swings of a big fuck off sword out of 10

Lucy

 

Not even Scarlett Johanson could save this steaming pile of shit. 2/10

Watched it in IMAX during a nasty come down after smashing all kinds of illicit substances at creamfields.

 

Felt like my brain went on a journey through time and space, walked out the cinema contemplating the pointlessness of life in the grand scheme and other various existential crises.

 

Watched it a second time about a year later expecting a similar experience again, but was severely disappointed to find out it was actually really shit and I'm just a bit of a wreck head.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri

 

Was really looking forward to it, but not sure it quite worked for me.

7/10

[Juniper]

The Shape of Water 7.5/10

 

Quite enjoyed that despite another 'beauty and the beast' love story. Some good acting (Michael Shannon once again great) and good visuals/soundtrack. Really surprised to find out the female lead was Sally Hawkins, knew I recognised her from somewhere.

 

Nothing ground breaking in terms of the story as it's been seen before but a very enjoyable film with some good and at times touching moments. Little bit of gore for good measure.

 

The other half especially loved it. Good and solid Guillermo del Toro movie.

[Scott_M]

Watched 3 Billboards & I, Tonya last week. Solid 8/10's for both. Both are good films. I think 3 Billboards is the better film but I enjoyed I, Tonya more, if that makes sense. Probably because I'm fully in love with Margot Robbie.

[Ted]

The Last Jedi - 5/10.

 

Not very good at all.
