The Next 3 Days

 

Russell Crowe decides to break his wife out of prison who has been sent down for murder. 5/10. Got about half an hour in and said to my missus "This is a Liam Neeson type film this not Crowe" and who rocks up for a cameo not long later? Neeson himself. Suppose its worth a watch if passing the time, not something you'd watch again but it's got a decent cast.

Going to sound like Vlad here but the French original is good. Probably cause I can't understand French and so you can't pick up on the wooden performances.

Watched Beauty and the Beast (the more recent live action version) with the youngest.

 

Special effects and stuff are good, songs are good. But major criticisms are:

 

1. Half the film is so dark it's hard to see what's going on - I had to up the telly to maximum brightness during the castle scenes. 

 

2. Emma Watson is clearly easy on the eye, but her accent really did my head in. The poshest, plummiest, upper class English accent you're ever likely to hear and weirdly distracting.

 

5.5/10.

Greenland - formulaic disaster movie but very watchable because of Morena Baccarin 6.5/10

 

Hereditary -  Went from a "uncomfortable watch-family disintegration over grief" tale into a thing of madness where Toni Colette started floating around like a Scooby Doo ghost, which ruined it completely. 5/10

I don't like the fight scene with the other stations and a few bits are just shite but on the whole its funny as fuck. 

 

"Live with Ron Burgundy and Tits Magee" 

I still think the "who put the question mark at the end of the teleprompter?" scene is one of the funniest things ever.

I loved Hereditary and thought Toni Colette was brilliant! But yes, the swift turn halfway through the film was unexpected.

Me too, but I only really enjoyed it after picking up on the subtleties after watching it three or four times. Some of the 'Did you see it?' moments are spine-tingling.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - 9/10. This is far better watched in the context of where the MCU is now, up to and including WandaVision. There are so many hints and set ups of things that are four, five or even six films beyond this, it’s incredible.
 

I guess they’re always working off existing material which helps, but it’s the tiny details. Things like Stark and Rogers joking about Stark building a farm for him and Pepper to start a family or Vision sweeping Wanda up in his arms to lift her out of Sokovia and the look she gives him. 
 

This is clever, nuanced story-telling of the kind that’s never been done before and I love it.

Chef - 10/10. I fucking love this film and never tire of watching it. It’s pure feel-good all the way with food, music, humour and family. What’s not to love?

There are two on Amazon Prime. Can you narrow it down you big fanny?

Its a few years old, The Valkyrie was on before, I only saw the arse end of it but it seemed pretty good, what put me off was Tom Cruise, I don't watch many films but deffo not his, there was plenty of good actors in it and a good subject, so maybe I was mistaken there

He's ok in it to be honest, one of his better films. For me anyway.
