The Champ.

 

Never seen it before, I must be a heartless bastard because I thought it was a bit corny & didn't cry at the end. I did quite enjoy it though. John Voight is never an actor in a million years.

My favourite John Voight film is Runaway Train. He’s pretty wooden in it. It’s one of those shit/good films.

Consider yourself taken issue with.

Take it to Kentucky Fight Club.

Klaus (Netflix)

 

Enjoyable if formulaic. Reminds me of one of those 90s animated flicks that wasn't made by Disney but was still good enough to stick with.

 

If you want something decent and easy going while you digest an uncomfortable amount of food it's worth a look.

The Hole In The Ground - 6.5/10. Relatively low budget Irish horror with a plot that’s been done to death. Nothing groundbreaking but well-acted.

 

A Christmas Horror Story - 3/10. Low budget horror anthology that’s piss poor on the whole, but 9/10 for the segment in which Santa decapitates a workshop full of ravenous zombie elves. Bet you don’t get that in Elf.

So the hole was natural? Spoiler alert!

You didn't cry at the of The Champ????!!!! Wow. 

 

I'd call you empty inside but we all know you've got next doors washing and a tub of pringles wedged firmly up your arse.

The only film I cry at is Rocky 3 when Micky dies. I've got the soundtrack on CD and even that sets me off.

Mickey dies in Rocky 3? Is it a glorious, horror movie death?

No wonder Mook cried, having an Aussie Croc killer with a giant knife rip your heroes head off.

Why? You jealous? Want pics?

There is a decent screener of JoJo Rabbit doing the rounds. 
 

I enjoyed it, it’s a likeable and mildly amusing movie.
 

7/10 

[VladimirIlyich]

American Dreamer 8/10.

 

Decent but a bit disturbing Netflix indie type film. Well worth a watch.

[Red74]

Knives out. 7/10

 

Even though that cunt of a director ruined my childhood, he’s made a half decent film here. 
 

Although she’s in her scruff, the girl who plays the nurse is absolutely gorgeous. 

 

decent copy on the Plex and we’ll worth a watch 

[Jose Jones]

Knives Out

 

Good fun, especially Daniel Craig’s drawling detective, homage to Agatha Christie and other film and TV whodunnits. Doesn’t take itself seriously, could have given one or two of the characters a bit more to do to really hit the mark.

 

7/10

[SasaS]

Ad Astra  6/10.

 

Watching the paint dry, but in space.

 

I didn't even know this was written and directed by Mr. Tedium himself, James Gray, who did that snoozefest The Lost City of Z before this one.

 

Still remember his debut Little Odessa with Tim Roth which made some critics stand up and take notice, but it was already a film stronger in intentions than execution. It was however intriguing for a small movie, but, when he followed it with exactly the same film Yards, I kind of lost track of him.

 

The enigma for me is, why is Gray  getting the big budgets now (OK, its Netflix, they are easy) after establishing his position as some kind of poor man's Terence Malick, but without whatever people see in Malick (obligatory long walks  through the long, long grass I guess). They're not giving Malick big bucks any more, because they've learnt by now.

 

Film industry as a meritocracy? I don't think so.

[Jenson]

Jumanji 2. Karen Gillen, that is all.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Contagion 5/10

 

Not a bad cast but thought it was a bit poor in parts.

 

Wonder when the real event will happen ?

She is lovely. Definitely goes under the radar.

Ford Vs Ferrari

 

Christian Bale and Matt Damon co-star in this tale of Henry Ford jnr's feud with Enzo Ferrari and Ford's bid to wrestle away the Le Mans 24 hour title.

 

Sounded good but was even better. Bale (whom I reckon is a prize luvvie tosser) turns in his best ever acting performance imo.

 

Loved it.

 

9/10 Fen Kodi
