Somehow had never seen Local Hero, so gave it a watch. Proper 80’s movie.
 

Bags of natural, understated charm, stunning cinematography, throwaway patches of silliness and eccentricity characteristic of films in that era, wore its uplifting core message relatively lightly and, of course, features that classic feel-good Knopfler soundtrack to perfect effect.

 

8/10 while watching, rising to a 9 an hour or so afterwards for having put me in a great, nostalgic mood.

Isi and Ossi, German comedy (Netflix).

 

Mrs wanted to watch this one for a bit of light relaxation. Can't say how it would come over in English as we watched it in the original German language. Not half as bad as I thought it would be and some quite funny moments. 6.5/10

Regrettably watched Rambo: Last Blood.

 

Its fucking awful and disgusting and should never be watched by anyone again, ever! 
 

If you haven’t read the plot think ‘Taken’ directed by an incel and then edited by Jeffery Dahmer.

 

It is possibly the worst thing I’ve ever watched, genuinely.

 

Why Dahmer? He was apparently good at rearranging and reassembling parts.

There’s a fair amount of superfluous, misogynistic, torture fantasy to it.

 

It’s just a horrible little film which completely misjudges what the audience will tolerate.

 

Feels like the script was designed by committee on 4chan. Misogyny, lazy racism, torture of females all present.

 

The second half is genuinely Home Alone with heavy artillery.

 

Pathetic.

Uncut Gem.

 

Thought it was just a shouty mess myself. 

 

5/10

 

I watched that at the weekend and it genuinely gave me anxiety. The excessive shouting at and over each other made it really stressful to watch at times. It had the workings of a good film and there were some good acting performances, but fuckin' hell it was tough going with the shouting.

Yeah, it was just like a never ending mess.

Parasite

 

A very European movie, it struck me, for some reason. 

 

I don't suppose I'll watch it again, which I guess would be my rating.

Watched about 20 minutes of it and just couldn't take to it. Not a fan of far east films,it takes something exceptional to catch my interest and this just didnt seem to.

I like loads of foreign language films but this just didn't seem to be to my taste. Is it a comedy of any sort?


No, it’s a razor sharp satire on the growing inequality, both financially and culturally, between the have and have nots.

 

Go back, watch again, grow as a human and report back.
