Just seen A Star Is Born. Fucking brilliant. Loads of talk about Lady GaGa getting an Oscar for it but Bradley Cooper fully deserves one. Arguably the best film I've seen in a good 10 years. 

I’ve been looking forward to this one. I’m not going to go to the cinema for it, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the hype is about.

22nd July

 

A Netflix film detailing the attack, capture, aftermath and trial of Anders Breivik.  As you'd expect from recent Scandinavian dramas it's brilliantly acted and atmospheric. Well worth a watch. 

4.5/5

Mile 22.

 

0/5

 

Truly fucking awful

 

Poorly acted,

 

Marky Mark mumbles his way through it with a speed of tongue that's impossible to understand. 

 

The make up job on the injured is pathetic, I think I'd do a better job on my young lad this coming Wednesday (Halloween) 

 

I'm actually amazed I didn't turn it off. 

 

Is there some way we can put Arnie or Sly in a time machine to make defect action films again?

Isn't this supposed to be an American production written and directed by Paul Greengrass?

Sounds interesting though, will look for it.

I'm sure there was a link on here ( maybe the boxing thread ) suggesting that the film was controversial & that Considine had 'appropriated' the story & eased a down and out boxer out of the picture. Can't find it now.

Paul Greengrass? Wasn't he in heartbeat?

Yes he was. He was still called Claude back then.

Ive watched the first half of this. Decent. Ill watch the rest later. I don't think the Breivik character is very well cast though.

Not keen on this myself as I think it helps glorify the prick. Let him die first. I also thought it was maybe Greengrass' son or family member who did it on the credits I saw?

I know what you men mate. Thing is with the film industry they don't give a fuck for sentiment. They had 9/11 films out while the ashes were still smoking.

I don't think Greengrass necessarily glorified the Parachute Regiment by making a film about Bloody Sunday.

At least he gave it a few years to let things settle before putting it together though. Seems much too fresh in the memory for me.

Bad Times at the El Royale- Very well acted, but a bit messy and overlong- 6/10. 

[manwiththestick]

Mandy. -44/100. Not even Nicholas Cage could save this incoherent drivel. Sat through a good hour and a bit of this waiting for something even remotely interesting to happen and then actually fell asleep towards the end, probably missing any slight chance of a satisfying reward for watching the first part. Shite.

Triple 9, this one has a Russian Kate Winslet playing a gangsters wife, Gal Gadot is her sister & Casey Affleck as the police man caught up in a plot that I thought had completely lost me for about an hour. Some pretty tense bits in this one, I thought it was worth 2hrs of my time though & Winslet would still 100% get taken out for a fish supper & a fingering round the back of Lidl. 7/10.

Deliverance - 10/10.

Surprisingly for me I enjoyed it and I'm not a Queen fan I thought Remi Malek was very good as Freddie and wish it would have been more about him as I cant stand the other three boring bastards but then I guess it would have been called "Freddie" and people might have though it was the much anticipated Freddie Flintoff bio.

What was all that about too "oh I wrote this bit and I wrote that bit" from May , Taylor and Deacon?.....

Thought the bit with Mike Myers was good too with the reference to Wayne's World

[Total Longo]

I love that story Sacha Baron-Cohen tells about why he left the project, because they wanted to get Mercury's death out of the way half way through the film, and then concentrate on all the brilliant stuff they did after that... 

[Mendoza]

Sadly this classic didnt get a mention

Mandy was fucking brilliant

 

Had a Ryan Gosling double bill of Blade Runner 2049 and Drive over the weekend

 

10/10 for Blade Runner

9/10 for Drive.

 

Both fantastic films in their own right but Blade Runner was an absolute masterpiece

Recently watched Star is Born  very good

Watched Bohemian Rhapsody totally brilliant 

then this week i watched Mike Leigh's Peterloo which he wrote and directed it was  far too wordy, boring ,slow, the characterisations were awful, by the time it came to the massacre i couldnt give a toss about anybody.

Surpising really given Mike Leigh films are generally good and it had a decent cast in it but it was utter dogshit

Coco - Pixar film with a young boy who's transported to the afterlife where he tries to find his ancestor to allow him to play music. Similar to the film Book of Life which came out a couple of years ago, Coco follows the same themes of coping with legacy, family and what happens when we die and executes them much better; which is no knock on Book of Life, that was good. It was really touching, had a fun story and great voicework from a Hispanic cast. 9 out of 10.

 

Hidden Figures - Biopic on the African-American ladies who worked at NASA as mathematicians during the early stages of space flight. As with most biopics it alters events and condenses time frames but it's a good, not well known story that's well told with great performances and it's always good seeing Kevin Costner. 7.5 out of 10.
