99 Homes 9/10

 

Watched this after seeing it mentioned on here. Parts of it had a fly on the wall feel to it, especially the scene with the old guy which was just heart breaking. Great film that just left me fucking depressed.

Frozen 2. 

 

Miraculously avoided the first one. Drew the short straw this time. Great film for girls of primary school age. For the rest of us, there are one or two slower songs which will help you drift off to sleep for a few minutes.

I went last Friday with my daughter as she had a training day. 
 

I’ve only ever seen bits of the 1st one, so wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. 
 

Best I think I can say about it was I didn’t hate it.

Hustlers 8/10.

 

Film about J.Lo and her team of strippers drugging and ripping off Wall St bankers. It was more a story of J.Lo and Destiny’s friendship than the heist movie I expected but I still quite enjoyed it. 
 

I’ve maybe given an extra point for all the scantily clad, gorgeous females in the movie.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - 9/10.

 

I went to the cinema to watch this and I was expecting it all be far more about the Manson murders. I was a bit confused by it all at the time and although I didn’t dislike it, I couldn’t really put a score on it.

 

I watched it again yesterday and it is brilliant. I get there isn’t much of a story to it, Margot Robbie is fairly pointless in it and it goes on a bit to long, but it can’t be denied it’s fucking entertaining watching Di Caprio and Pitt on the absolute top of their game, obviously having a blast while they are doing it. 

There are so many lovely little touches in it (I love it when all the lights come on around Hollywood) and it’s probably my favourite QT soundtrack. 

 

Given how much I enjoyed the 2nd viewing, I’m going to try and watch it again next week.

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. 

Worst Elvis Impersonator film ever. 0/10. Thank you very much.

Margot Robbie isn't pointless in anything. Even her 1 minute cameo in The Big Short bumps it from a 7.5 to an 8.5.

Never even knew this happened. Typical corporate media burying it originally, but fair play to whoever made the documentary and to J Lo for being the fittest Robin Hood ever.

I don't know mate. Emma Watson did a film called The Bling Ring about a group of them going round and robbing rich houses in beverley Hills. Based on a true story. I have no idea if it was good or not but just look....

I Am Not A Witch - 8/10

 

A young girl tuns up in a village and is accused of being a witch. She's put on trial and ends up in a camp with other women also deemed to bewitches but are much older than her. At the same time she's also being manipulated by a government official who's using her like an attraction from a freak show.

 

Utterly odd film that's slow mostly slow paced yet compelling. 

[General Dryness]

Se7en.

 

Still brilliant. 9/10.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood  7/10.

 

Enjoyed it, but don't quite know what to make of it, all the criticism you may have read or heard I'd say is true, I wasn't bored but it is one massively self-indulgent film. Is this supposed to be Tarantino's 8 1/2? Apart from Fellini, the lack of easily discernible story remands me of Antonioni a bit, has Quentin discovered other cinema, apart from trashy pop-culture, in his more mature years? Also, the dialogue is nothing special this time, disappointing.

 

Taken individually, most scenes work, but put together, I didn't get what is the film about.

Yeah, it's an incoherent mess. The fight scene at the studio is brilliant, though.

Knives out - 7/10. 

 

Good movie. Spends a lot of effort pretending to be a Wes Anderson tribute, but actually very enjoyable on its own terms too. Worth the admission, would see again.

[Guest]

Ready Or Not

 

Black comedy/horror set amongst a rich family that has an initiation tradition for new additions to the family through marriage. Similar to You're Next but felt it was superior in every way. 8/10

[polymerpunkah]

"The Big Short"

 

Really enjoyed that, thanks. 9 of 10.

 

Dove-tails nicely with "Margin Call" for sure. Will be looking for "99 Homes" next.

 

Carell is a bit hit and miss, for me, but I thought he was very good in this one.

 

Watching these movies does make me wonder "what, and when, will the next bubble be?" Particularly with a charlatan like Trump in charge.

Such a brilliant film. 

 

Steve Carrell is superb.

Watched that last night , strange to say the least . Fairly entertaining I suppose - max 6.5/10 for me , decent idea but could have been so much better

[Mendoza]

Shazam- a 'Big' rip off that generally just got on my tits- 4/10

 

Fractured- cliche ridden but solid enough Netflix thriller- 6/10

[Guest]

Ad Astra - way better than I expected it to be. Visuals and sounds are amazing and a well crafted story. Brad Pitt knows how to act a part. 9/10.

[Anubis]

Child 44. 5/10. There’s a much better film in there, somewhere.

[Jose Jones]

Dolemite is my Name (and fucking up motherfuckers is my game)

 

Good fun little biopic featuring most of the “gang putting on a show” beats. Eddie Murphy is good and Wesley Snipes is rather amusing. Worth a couple of hours.

 

7/10

[thegreatelephant]

apologies if comparisons have already been made:-

 

Joker 5/10

 

King of Comedy meets Sid Vicious 'My Way' video meets V for Vendetta (never seen, any good?).

 

won't be arsed to re-watch.

V for Vandetta is turd.
