Black Panther (2018)- 2/10- I couldn't even finish this one once Serkis was offed. Lethargic action scenes, dull story, charisma-free hero, the worst protagonist in any of the films and atrocious acting in many scenes.

 

I watched this last week after seeing it as the highest rated (or one of) film of all time on one of the movie ratings things. Rotten Tomatoes I think. 

 

It was fucking shite.

I thought the bad user reviews on IMDB were going to be from bitter Incels, but they really weren't, it's just awful.

To be fair, I could barely move without pain for several days and really couldn't face watching anything but light entertainment.

Sorry, I meant more the Chan-type trolls that seem to swamp anything deemed 'political'.

Did you not like it because it had black people in it?

One of the greatest films of all time. I take it you’d seen it before?

Yeah course. Im half way through the book. I am struggling with it but refuse to give up. Its written from the Cheifs perspective. 

 

Is it wrong that from some angles Miss Rachet actually looks quite sexy?

Yes, she's hot as fuck from all angles.

I’ve caught up with a few films this week with being housebound.

 

Chinatown - I’d never seen this before but had read it was great so gave it a go. Loved it. Very much of its time, but a good story and cracking acting especially from Jack. 9 out of 10.

 

BlacKkKlansman - Great stuff from John David Washington and Adam Driver. Enjoyed it more than I expected to. 8 out of 10.

 

The Incredibles - Watched this whilst working from home the other day. One of the best Pixar films I’ve seen with some brilliant laughs. 8 out of 10.

 

Trading Places - Watched again for the first time in years. One of my favourite films ever, great performances from Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis and Denholm Elliott. 9.5 out of 10.

The book is fantastic. The book to read straight after it is The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. Find out what Ken Kesey got up to after writing it. 

[Shitty Arse]

In the book the character of Mcmurphy is a ginger if I remember rightly. Great book and the greatest film of all time arguably.

No. I didn't like it because it was a generic Marvel film but that didn't seem to matter to the accuser!!!

[RedKnight]

Hustlers - Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu in the true-ish story of a group of strippers devised a plan to drug and rob Wall Street bankers over a number of years. Would possibly make a good triple bill with Wolf of Wall Street and the Big Short with the largesse and downfall of the banks. It's good but not great, there was no real likeable character (same issue with Wolf of Wall Street) and their actions were indefensible no matter how bad the people they were doing it too. 6.5 out of 10.

 

Blinded by the Light - Young Pakistani lad in '80s Luton finds a way out of his cul-de-sac life through the music of Bruce Springsteen. Resonated with me as a big Bruce fan and there was a surprising amount of his tracks on the soundtrack given the budget of the film. Possibly a little too long but a fun, uplifting film that's based on the writer and his own upbringing. 7.5 out of 10.

Kodachrome - 6/10. By the numbers estranged dying parent/offspring road trip drama, that follows the genre playbook step by step. It’s well-acted, but you can predict everything that happens.

I quite enjoyed that one. Probably rated it a bit higher myself.

I just felt it was too ‘by the numbers’ for a higher score.

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. Just stupid. Bryce Dallas Howard is fit though.

Blackbeard's Ghost is an underrated classic. Ustinov nails the comedic role. Really wish he'd taken that performance into a live action version of Captain Pugwash.
