Obviously it's mislabelled, I was just trying to be funny.

 

Fair dinkum. Whooshed right over my head.

Saw a review of it saying that unfortunately Billy Moore won't be watching it as he's banged up again.

Flip flops for fucks sake. Mind, they were probably a precious commodity in a Thai Prison.

[Pidge]

The Last Jedi.

 

Decent, I have no idea what all the complaining is about.  I mean it's nonsense with some terrible writing in places, but all these films are; Marvel have set the tone for too long on that front.

 

Bit too much crammed in to the running time, the film's set up in a very strange situation for the next one - best thing about this film is that the power dynamic between the protagonists and antagonists is actually pretty unique, so I'm at least interested in how that plays out.

 

 

Hoping to see Kylo Ren as the impudent boy emperor at odds with the internal bureaucracy of his own military  (trying to control and pacify increasingly restless populations on various planets) while hunting down Rey and Luke (unless Luke spends his ghost time tormenting the poor lad).

 

 

They can knock the 'every planet has a different species of wildlife on it' bollocks on the head though.  The rat puffins were shite and the crystal meffs were wedged in way too clumsily.

 

Overall 7/10, might scrape an 8 when I rewatch it, or might fall if the next one doesn't build on it.

Den Of Thieves - 7/10. A sub-Heat, LA heist thriller. Decent.

[Redder Lurtz]

Gotti. A bit meh. 5/10

 

Tries very hard to be a Scorsese and fails spectacularly. But when you make a gangster movie and substitute the likes of De Niro and Pacino for John Travolta and Stacey Keach you're always going to struggle.

Hotel Coolgardie (docuentary) - 2 female Finnish backpackers take up jobs as barmaids in Australian Outback pub and try to interact with the locals.

8/10

How It Ends - 6.5/10. Half-decent, if not very memorable post-apocalyptic thing on The ‘Flix.

[Mendoza]

Ghost Stories- not bad- 6.5/10.

[setreal]

Ghost Stories is the one in 4:3 right?

The one with Martin Freeman was very good, a lot better than the 6.6 rating on IMDB.

[setreal]

Ah oh.

 

Was thinking of "A Ghost Story"

Maybe 6.5 is a bit harsh, i did enjoy it. i'll up it to 7.

How It Ends - 6.5/10. Half-decent, if not very memorable post-apocalyptic thing on The ‘Flix.

Started watching this but suspected it was as you say and jibbed it. Not my kind of thing. Forrest Whitaker seems woefully wasted in these type of action movies of late and was a pretty decent actor in more dramatic roles in his younger days.

Bloody phone.

A new horror film?

Hotel Artemis- hugely enjoyable- 8/10. 

[RedKnight]

The Verdict - Paul Newman in between extremely handsome and being just an old handsome guy. Washed up Boston lawyer takes a malpractice case that is immediately settled but he feels he owes it the comatose patient to take the case to trial and bring to light the injustice that's taken place. Newman is great, obviously, and the wintery Boston setting has that great '80s aesthetic that's difficult to replicate. You also get James Mason as the defence attorney acting on behalf of the diocese that runs the hospital; this being the '80s there's not much hint that the church were corrupt. There's one part where he punches a woman that wouldn't fly these days but otherwise it's aged well - classic courtroom drama. 8 out of 10.

Hotel Artemis- hugely enjoyable- 8/10.

I agree it was good fun. Great setting, actors and style but thought the writing could have been better. I really hope they make a sequel as it has tons of potential. I'd give it 7/10.

Sailor Beware with Peggy Mount doing her harridan bit ,at the start it warned that this film might depict outdated stereotypes, you'd have to be some type of cunt to be offended by it.

[Guest]

Halfway through an Australian WW1 movie called Beneath Hill 60. Superbly made film, atmospheric and gives a good account of a true story. Less you know the better I feel.

 

8.5/10 so far.
