Well, it's Antonioni. It's what Yasujiro Ozu watches to cure insomnia.

Joker - not funny. 
 

8.5/10

[Mendoza]

Rise of the Footsoldier 4- absolute shite, but amusingly so at times- 5/10

[rb14]

Official Secrets. 8.5/10. Other than the stupidity in the courtroom and on the beach at the end, excellent. 

 

Eighth Grade. Wow 8.5/10. Didn't know whether to laugh, cry or chuck myself off the roof.

Is that shite still going? I suppose all those cockney actors still need to work.

The first one was good but I haven't bothered with the others. 1 was based on a true story, so I'm not sure where they could go from the end of it.

Just re-watched Clueless for the twelfthtiest time. Other than the mobile phones, timeless. And still funny as fuck. Alicia Silverstone masterpiece. 9/10.

[Redder Lurtz]

The King

 

Ignoring all of the utterly laughable historical inaccuracies for a second it's very enjoyable. Some great performances, especially Sean Harris.

 

But fuck me, it rewrote history. John Falstaff never existed, he was invented by Billy Shakespeare but in this film he planned and died in the battle of agincourt. Thomas of Lancaster, Henry's younger brother, died at Anjou but here there was just some vague reference to him having been killed by English and Welsh rebels. Tosh. 

 

Still gets a 7 from me though, purely through it being a cracking medieval part political and part action film.

4????????? 

 

I actually liked the first one. In-fact it was a brutal but decent enough British movie. I haven't watched any since because it was guaranteed they would be really really proper really shit. 

 

Heaven knows.

Joker - 8.5/10. But not necessarily as a comic book Joker story. As I’ve explained on p6 of the Joker film thread. No spoilers here.

Gemini Man

 

Will Smith stars in this sub-Bourne snooze fest. Predictable as fuck and massively boring. 

 

2 points for Mary Elizabeth Winstead. 

 

2/10 Fen on Kodi

Yeah. Gets a 4 from me. Generally pretty shit, 

[Anubis]

Gemini Man. 3/10. I’ll split the difference. Also looks like they ran out of time or budget to get the CGI finished. What was reasonably decent CGI cloning of a younger Will Smith in earlier scenes, suddenly went to shit at the end, and made Henry Caville’s muzzywashing In Justice League look like a piece of art.

[Elite]

I generally avoid anything Will Smith makes.

Out on Netflix in a couple of weeks, right?

Yep. Went to see it in London today. 3 and a half hours of  greatness. 

 

De Niro and Pesci are unreal. Pacino perhaps less so - the CGI bothered me more with him that with Bobby, but it superb. All about love, friendship, old age and loss.

 

Throw in Keitel, Charmaine Bucco, Herc off the wire, Gyp Rossetti & Stephen Graham and it’s great.

 

It feels like Scorsese definitively doing the 60’s and signing off.
