The Limehouse Golem - Bill Nighy is a London detective on the trail of a serial killer in the 19th century whilst simultaneously trying to keep a music hall actress from the gallows. Not the film I thought it would be as it focuses more on the latter part of the story than the former but it was fairly entertaining and Nighy was good value. 7 out of 10.

Sound like something I'd like. Shall give it a watch tonight.

I saw Christopher Robin myself last week with the kid. I liked it but it started quite slowly in terms of being able to hold the interest of a 6-year-old, luckily it picked up and he liked it.

It’s not really a young kid’s film. My daughter’s 19 so it wasn’t an issue at all

At first it's not but it became more so as it went on. All the stuff about his family life was pretty incomprehensible to him but it became more of an adventure-type film about half way in.

Rampage - 6.5/10. This is one of the most ridiculous films I have ever seen (honestly - it’s just fucking daft as fuck). And yet I found it weirdly entertaining. Not

In an ironic way; just entertaining. Look, it’s The Rock and a fuck off giant albino gorilla in the middle of a massive kick off. What’s not to like?

[Numero Veinticinco]

The Rock. Straight boss.

[Sweeney287]

Tag -immature shit but a couple of funny moments in there. Based on a true story as well so good to know that there are grown ups out there sadder than me.

 

5/10

 

Isla Fisher is lovely.

Really enjoyed that. Some of the scenes were more gruesome than I expected but not in a bad way. Felt like a mixture of Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and the James Maybrick case.

I watched it in a double bill with 'Aaaaaaaah!'. I thought both were a great deal of fun, found they enriched my outlook on life and felt all the better for it.

I'm calling bullshit on that !

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Why is it cucked? Is it a film about women forcing their boyfriends to watch them have sex with other men?

 

I didn't come on her to be cucked at

[General Dryness]

Tower.

 

The story of the Texas University sniper incident, told from the perspective of those who were involved using animation and interviews. Very well done and well worth seeing. Emotional stuff.

Watched the new Jumanji thing last night & it wasn't as bad as I expected . Jack Black mincing through it was a bit weird though.

Hereditary 6/10

Hereditary 6/10

The ending was a bit shitty but the scares during the movie were so subtle as to be more scary in my head than on the screen. I would give 8/10 but the end drops it to 7/10.

Really good film this.

Black Dynamite   6.5/10

 

Comedy action in the same style as Undercover Brother and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Funny moments and boring moments but entertaining enough to warrant a watch.

[Mathewbet1]

Avengers Infinity War - 8/10

Deadpool 2 - 8/10

Ready Player one - 7.5/10

Ghost Stories 6.5/10

A prayer before dawn - 8/10

American Animals

 

Not wholly sure how to catagorise this one. Documentary/Drama/Heist Film/True Story/Made Up Bollocks.

 

What I would say without giving away any spoilers is that this is well worth a look if you are looking for something different than the force fed Hollywood by the numbers tedious bullshit. The 'real' protagonists, a dramatic cast, for most part, I was totally unfamiliar with who make a decent fist of it and for most part a very good banging soundtrack.

 

A very creditable 7.5 historically valuable books out of 10.

Hereditary, heard so much about this over the last few weeks. ‘The scariest movie’ ever and all that, have to say I was really disappointed. Pretty shit really. 4/10. Standard of film must be pretty dire if this gets such high marks.

The Hateful Eight

 

Not a fan of Tarantino's modern films (anything post Jackie Brown), but I enjoyed this one. Largely because I like the set up (who doesn't like a snowed in mystery?), and the confined nature of the set fitted with the lo-fi hamminess. Obviously it's massively over-the-top, and his fetishisation of the n word continues unabated, but the absurdity of it, along with the violence, seemed more acceptable given the Western genre. The final reel fingers its own bottom and sniffs the shitty allegorical fingernail, yet even that didn't annoy me as much as it does in his other films.

 

7/10

[Total Longo]

Jurassic World 2. An absolute waste of everyone's time. 3/10

[rubble-rouser]

Big - 7/10

 

One of those films that passed me by as a kid. My kids quite liked it, but no laugh out loud moments for any of us.

 

This has probably been said before, but it is essentially the story of a female sexual predator who exchanges her sex for career advancement, is duped into being a paedophile (which paedophilia is romanticised) and whose reaction, upon learning that she is a paedophile, is to invite the child to look her up when he is of age.

So it was more like Benevolent Seven for you?

[setreal]

and it has a floor piano.

Black klansman. 8/10.
