Nice out of 10.

The Report- solid- 7.5/10

 

Greyhound- a reasonably entertaining watch but strangely unengaging- 6/10.

Honestly, that’s pretty much accurate. It’s not good out of 10. It’s just nice out of 10.

The Hurt Locker - 8.5/10

 

I haven't seen it since watching it on release. Brilliant movie.

I’ve been listening to a film podcast called The Rewatchables recently and they had a run of three films selected by Quentin Tarantino to rewatch and chat about with them. I’ve subsequently rewatched all three myself to varying effects. 
 

The King Of New York - 9/10. I always loved this (Schoolly D, Walken, Fishburn, Snipes, Caruso, etc); it’s a real old favourite. However this is the first time I’ve rewatched it in years and still stands right up. And flips gangster movies quite a lot, into the bargain. 
 

Unstoppable - 8.5/10. I love Denzel and I love Tony Scott films and while I enjoyed this first time round, I hadn’t appreciated just how taut it is. It’s basically a monster movie with a train as the monster. It’s ace. 
 

Dunkirk - 10/10. I was dubious about this after first viewing and only really appreciated it after my second watch. However, it got better again after this third and it is genuinely a masterpiece, in my view. I think the narrative is so subtly revealed through editing and sound that it can feel a bit alien at first, but it seeps in to the brain. Also though, it’s stunning in a cinematography sense. An absolutely amazing film. Can’t remember seeing a grower of this scale before, ever in my life.

You haven't seen the Salma Hayek scene in Dusk Till Dawn then

1985

 

10/10 Very tough film to watch.

[johnsusername]

Hereditary. 9/10.

 

I'm a horror film fan so have seen most things, but fucking hell this is had me holding my breath a few times. Definitely more than just your average horror flick. Had my head in my hands at one point.

 

Well worth a watch.

 

Toni Colette is brilliant in it.

"First They Killed My Father"

 

Life under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in 1970's Cambodia.

 

Very good movie, though not an easy watch.

 

8 of 10

The book is worth a read, though as you say not easy.

Miami Vice - 9/10. This is one seriously underrated film. It looks incredible, it’s gritty as fuck and the casting is ace. The framing is amazing with loads of ever so slightly low angle shots that leave the Miami skies filling half the frame. If it wasn’t for the mumbly dialogue and the very occasional moment that ever so slightly hints at cheese (mainly the tunes), it’d be perfect.

Berberian Sound Studio - 5/10. Really disappointed, been looking forward to watching this. Nothing really happened - we'll put together in an authentic Italian horror style but that's about all it had going for it.

Great film, that. Second time I watched it on a brighter, higher defined screen and some the stuff you see in the background is definitely eye-catching. At one point, I noticed Toni Collette's character crawling across the ceiling when this hadn't become part of the film.

 

I enjoyed it so much that I had to watch the director's next film, Midsommar. I really enjoyed that too.

I'm not sure I could watch it again so soon, I'm suffering from PTSD after the first watch.

 

I'll rewatch it next year with a new telly!

Toni Colette is a phenomenal actress, the best weeper in Hollywood.

Last Blood - 0/10. Ridiculous, cliched plot and levels of brutality which make it seem almost like a parody. The first film in this series was superb: a great action film with something to say about war and men who fight. This though is just awful. It fetishises an unprecedented level of bloody violence for absolutely no reason. Risible.

His Home Alone set up was hilarious. Surprised the wet bandits didn't turn up.

Psycho - The 90's remake with Vince Vaughan. 

 

I should have known. The mrs did warn me before we put it on that it looks like it might be shit. 1 room at the Bates Motel out of 12. I'm only giving the 1 because Anne Heche is quite fit and you pretty much see her fanny. If its even her

It's wrong but first thing I thought of when I saw that picture was Stuart Lubbock.
