The Meg   2/10

 

Awful, just awful. It's a shame as the book is really good and I was looking forward to a film adaptation but as soon as I heard Jason Statham had been cast it was obvious how bad it would be.

 

Rubbish.

54

 

A 1999 film about Studio 54 with Ryan Phillipe, Mike Myers & Salma Hayek. Thought it was ok, the production values were very cheap though & that Ryan Phillipe is shite. Probably worth watching just for Salma Hayek's cleavage & some disco tunes, 5/10.

 

I watched a bit of Kingpin before I went to my bed as well, love that film.

There was a tv series called Kingpin but it was about a Mexican crime boss and it was good until it got cancelled out of the blue.

If it hasn't got Vanessa Angel in it then I'm not interested.

Aquaman - 6.5/10. Silly, nonsensical and waaaaaaaay too long, but there's some very enjoyable stuff in there and some great visuals. I mean for fucks sake, Jason Mamoa literally rides a 100ft big mad lobster thing. Fucking great stuff.

 

Bird Box - 2/10. The more I think about this the more infuriating it is that I wasted time watching it. SHITE.

Creed II - the spunk that contained Carl Weather's personality clearly ran down the crack of Claire Huxtable's arse. (not original wife)

 

6/10

[Bjornebye]

Trainspotting 2. I've probably rated it on here before. 7/10 after watching it again last night. Some really good bits in it and a lot of throwbacks to the original. It is quite dark at points though particularly the bits with Spud.

The Favourite

 

Yorgos Lanthimos directed tale of an ageing and bit bonkers Queen Anne and two ladies in waiting vying for her affection. and access to political power.

Rachel Weisz is the companion in situ and Emma Stone the manipulative up and comer. Both are excellent, as is Olivia Colman as the Queen.

 

Slightly strange style with settings and costumes all very traditional but a few modern contrivances.  The language is similar but works well, you have to be prepared for the queen saying stuff like “I like it when she puts her tongue in my cunt”.

 

Anyway, plenty of fun, just slightly let down by the incongruous final shot.

 

7.5/10

The only thing that could possibly make that sound worse would be ...and it’s a musical.

Yeah, not one for explosion lovers or misogynists.

I think it would actually be considerably improved by Olivia Coleman bursting into song every now and then and about 30 courtiers dancing to her singing "I like it when she puts her tongue in my cunt".

Didn't see it, only going by Jose's review.

Bird Box

 

Or should that be The Happening pt 2 ? Where still fuck all happens.

 

Total and utter shite, do not watch, dreadful, ghastly, did I miss something? Was there ever an explanation given? Just utter dogshit.

 

0/10 AVOID

Sicario Day of the Soldado: 8/10

 

I quite liked the hopelessness of it all. Probably not the best constructed movie, but "enjoyable" nonetheless.

Yeah,it was better film than the reviews it was given on here and in general,but a ridiculous start and ending were what marked it down in my book.

[Anny Road]

Lord of War.

 

Or whatever the fuck it is called. Shit. Even for Nicholas Cage.

I'm washing dishes in a shit restaurant and want to be an arms dealer. So off I go and buy helicopters. Fuck off.

Reasonable Cage way to kill an hour or so but not a serious film.

4.1/10

[SasaS]

It's one of the few films I didn't finish, it annoyed me so much, and that was at the time I still thought Andrew Niccol will be an important filmmaker. It was just, what? How? Why?

It's actually rated pretty highly by many, which I could never understand.

I actually enjoyed that film. One of his better ones.

Funny as fuck (if not strictly historically accurate) story of Shakespeare, by the people who do Horrible Histories. 

 

It was on the telly the other day, so it's still available on BBC iPlayer.  Deffo worth a watch. 

[Paul]

Leave No Trace - as a good a film as I've seen in ages. It was really affecting and the girl who plays Tom is an incredible actor. Ben Foster is good too and the naturalistic sensibility is developed further by using what seem to be non-actors in most of the smaller roles. However, this kid is some kind of genius with a performance like that.

It’s a rather witty film actually.

And for those who like that kind of thing Rachel Weisz’s corseted cleavage is basically a character in its own right, plus there is a Stone boob sighting.

ET. 9.5/10.

[SasaS]

Crazy Rich Asians 6/10.

Should maybe be lower, but there are some great visuals.

Now, why was this film supposed to be such a big deal when it came out? Flimsy plot, implausible opening scene (this I guess serves to position the characters as oppressed minority even though they are already ultra rich Singapore Chinese) and constant flaunting of obscene wealth as the film's main attraction. Which wouldn't be a problem if the film was any good. I don't get it, is being stupidly rich funny, or is the fact that some Chinese people are stupidly rich funny or what?

When this came out it was hailed as another triumph for diversity. Just goes to show how perverted the optics really are now. And they have the temerity  to push this advertisment for the Singapore 0.1 percent as a serious Oscar contender. If they succeed, my yellow vest is coming out.
