Even Bernie Taupin would struggle to fit Cape Verde in to be fair.

 

Highlight of the flight was seeing the Mrs desperately trying to turn her I-pad off sharpish when Fleabag was getting bummed and there were kids in the row to the side.

Hahahaha. She will be in the Daily Mail in a few days.

Terminator Dark Fate - 4/10. 

 

Good action scenes but the story & characters are so weak, I literally couldn’t give a shit about what happened.

A quiet place. It's taken a while to see this film, much better than expected and quite an original story. Lots of unexpected turns. 8.5/10.

Uncut Gems 8/10.

 

Adam Sandler a New York jeweller who f’bombs his way round a series of highjinks and escalating situations in the hunt for a pay day on the back of getting an uncut diamond.
 

Not really supposed to be a comedy but much funnier than the films where Sandler is meant to actually be funny. Most enjoyable.  

I watched this again last night & would like to reiterate how good it is.

 

Think it’s on a short cinema release & coming to Netflix at the end of the month.

Rambo Number 5 - absolute fucking dross!

[Elite]

The Gentleman - 7.5/10

 

Guy Ritchie yarn, not as good as Lock, Stock and Snatch but good fun.

 

Uncut Gems - 5/10

 

Really don't get the fuss about this film. I was really looking forward to it but just found it very annoying, as it was just a lot of shouting and full of unlikeable, irritating characters. Biggest let down since Alton Towers.

[Red74]

Ford v Ferrari.

 

Day on the couch feeling grim and discovered this was on the Plex.

 

I’d only heard of Carroll Shelby because of the Shelby Cobra car and had no clue about the back story behind any of this. 

 

Absolutely brilliant afternoon watch. Recommended.

 

8.5/10

1917

 

Cracking war film, earthy and grim but very linear so lacking in suspense imo. Still really enjoyed it though.

 

8/10 Fen Kodi

Terminator: Dark Fate. 4/10. Merely confirms that it should have stopped at number two.

[SasaS]

Can You Ever Forgive Me? 5/10

Had high hopes for this (a struggling writer comes up with a way to survive in New York) because my girl Nicole Holofcener co-wrote it, but it's just... not very good. So, no, I can't. 

The script is relatively pedestrian and you can see why she didn't direct herself. Directing is not exactly accomplished which really isn't helping (overall pacing is odd, some scenes are strangely flat, everything feels rushed). Casting also feels wrong and both leads (Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant) are struggling with how to play a pair of basically unlikable, obnoxious cunts.

Story isn't very convincing, the biggest surprise is that it was actually based on true events.

Richard Jewell- great performances, solid direction from Clint- 8/10 

[Bjornebye]

The Report. 

 

Senate investigating the CIA for their interrogation techniques post 9/11. A decent film. Informative. No tits or car chases but still worth a watch. 

 

6.5/10. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Richard Jewell

 

Mr Eastwood's film about the bombing of the Atlanta Olympic park and the FBI's shameless attempts to fit up the wrong guy.

 

Very familiar feel, very watchable, I would love to see the brilliant Paul Walter Hauser walk off with the Best Actor Oscar ahead of Joaquin Phoenix.

Sam Rockwell is ace as always.

 

7/10 IPTV

Blindspotting - never heard of this film released in 2018. Comedy drama that works very well about a guy on his last three days of probation after a prison sentence. That's all you should know about it, much better than it sounds. Comedy is fun and drama is well acted. 7.75/10.

[skend04]

Parasite - 9/10 now this is a great movie. To say what it's about would spoil it for those who haven't seen it suffice to say what starts as a con job becomes something else altogether. Get it streamed.

It's a shame that after two great films and the potential to open up an almost endless amount of story arcs and possibilities that they then make, four more films over the next 25 years that are mostly turd.

Bit naff isn’t it.

 

Ive not seen Genesis but, although distinctly averagely executed (and that’s being kind) Salvation had the right idea. We’ve seen the Terminator come back and hunt whoever at least 4 times (and a TV show) now. 
 

Moving the landscape to the future and the war against the machines was the way to go and a proper war film could have given the series a fresh outlook. 
 

As it is, they’ve just milked the original story to death to the point nobody cares.

Ooops. Didn’t see this. But yes, I agree.

IT Part 2 - 5/10

 

Just kept going and going and going and going.

 

Far too much CGI and very few genuinely creepy moments.

 

An extra point for Jessica Chastain

[Mendoza]

1917- technically brilliant, looked great on the IMAX. Plot wise a bit weak at times- 8/10

[Davelfc]

1917 

 

Fiuck me, now that was a film and a half. 

[Mendoza]

The Good Liar- decent little thriller spoiled by a ridiculous ending- 5.5/10
