Savageland 7.5/10. Interesting take on the horror mockumentary/found footage genre, in which the ‘found footage’ is a roll of still black and white photos taken by the sole survivor of, and main suspect in, the massacre of the entire population of a small Arizona-Mexico border town. Plays into the immigration debate taking place in the US at present. Actually quite effective given it's micro budget.

Mortal Engines 3/10

 

Cliched plot, full of predictable bollocks. CGI was pretty good but generally it’s utter shit.

Bohemian Rhapsody, captivating film. I've heard that it's not 100% accurate but it's a blooming great film. 9.91/10.

[Carvalho Diablo]

The Mule

 

Mr. Eastwood's latest adventure about a decrepit cranky old bastard who somehow gets roped in to transport cocaine for a Mexican cartel. 

Full of casual mysogeny and racism, delivered like only a 155 year old Mr Eastwood can. 

 

Did I mention I loved it? 

 

8.5/10

The Night Comes for Us - brutal and not in a good way. 2 hours of the most barebones story and wall to wall fight scenes. Took me 3 attempts to get through it as it was just an incessant attack on your senses. 3/10.

Passengers 4/10

 

Yet another on the verge of disaster space adventure.

 

Lizzie 7/10

 

Part based on a true story. Wont be to everyone's taste as it's very, very slow.

if that is the one set in Ireland where a squaddie gets trapped behind enemy lines then I saw this when it was on the cinema.

 

Top notch

[razor]

Yes, that's the one, redheart.

 

I don't understand why people waste two hours of their lives on utter dross like the latest American super hero bore.  Well, I do.  The American film industry churns out dozens of these films, and distributes them to the cinema complexes, many of which are owned/financed by the American studios, and their marketing machines do the rest.

 

Anyway, I'm glad you got to see it at the cinema; gives me a bit of hope!

Polar. 

 

Netflix original starting Mads Mikkelsen as a John Wick like assassin 14 days from retirement when he is due a load of money from his employer who tries to kill him before the money is owed. 

 

The characters are a bit more cartoonish than say John Wick or the Equalizer but it’s decent enough action fodder.

 

6.5/10.

I've had 71 recorded for ages & keep meaning to watch it but I reckon my missus will hate it which is why it's on hold.

 

My brother said it is a brilliant film though.

What could have been interesting was mostly very shit. Really not helped by the horrendous incidental music. 

An important opportunity regrettably missed. 

 

4/10

Tried to watch this but while it was watchable for a while it just got so ridiculous I had to turn it off. I couldn't even give it a score.

Saw this 'small' film on Netflix last night. Young lad on a Dublin housing estate living a mundane existence gets roped into the local coke trade and before you can say 'fer fucks sake' finds himself in Prison with the big boys. Very modest, very gritty and very good I thought. Nothing we haven't seen before and features almost all the prison movie tropes we've come to expect. However, very well executed.

 

Sort of Ken Loach meets 'A Prophet'.

Saw a trailer for this. I enjoyed 'Starred Up' so might give this a go.

The Mule- enjoyed it overall, even though the scenes with Clint's family were a bit shit and annoying- 7.5/10.

Altered States 8/10

 

*Sniff*. That's the stuff.

Icarus.

 

Couldn’t have done much more. Deserves all its plaudits.

The one with William Hurt? Bit mental, good 80s horror though.

Always wondered about sensory deprivation. Never been brave enough to actively seek it out to have a go though.

You liked 50 Dead Men Walking? I thought is was pretty bad.
