Shot Caller 8/10.

 

A Netflix film starring a Danish actor who I believe was in Game of Thrones,Nikolaj Coster Waldau. A fella gets sent to prison for drunk driving,gets out and it kicks off. Better than it sounds as I dont want to give a spoiler.

The Show - 2/10. A Brit film penned by Alan Moore (who also has a part in it), which was the only reason I watched it. A curious attempt to blend noir with small town magic set in his home town of Northampton. It fails miserably, and appears to want to be a British Twin Peaks but comes across more Royston Vasey with its cast of eccentric characters. With the exception that The League Of Gentlemen was actually funny and entertaining. This isn’t.

 

Not a WTF disaster along the lines of Nest Of Vampires, as it actually has some actors in it, but not good.

Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings - 7.5/10. Great martial arts, loads of new characters and lots of tantalising clues for where the MCU goes next. 
 

A Quiet Place Part II - 8/10. Taut, tense, pacy film making. It includes one of the best extended sequences of cross cutting I’ve seen, too. A cracking film.

Tenet

 

Sort of get the impression that Nolan just came up with this film so he could pull out a load of cool visuals. And a lot of it is amazing to look at.

John David Washington is ace (albeit disturbingly old for being Denzel’s kid) and even Robert Pattinson is good. For a lot of it the story doesn’t even seem to matter that it rarely hangs together because it’s an engaging watch anyway but it is really just some cool scenes with very little explanation of how they make up the whole.

Didn’t quite land this one.
 

6/10

[Mook]

Watched The Maradonna documentary last night, it could've done with an extra hour & the end was heartbreaking. People talk about George Best but this guy really threw it all away (after conquering the World to be fair)...

 

9/10

[Anubis]

Don’t Breathe 2.  5.5/10. Blind antagonist, Norman Nordstrom, turns blind protagonist. Forgoes the tension and suspense that made the first film good, for more of a straight thriller/action film. It’s average.

Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins - 7.5/10

 

Bad acting, even worse haircuts but it's wonderfully entertaining. It's like a homage to mockney gangster films with every sentence starting with "fuck" and ending with "cunt". You can't go wrong with Vinnie Jones and Craig Fairbrass knocking the fuck out of everyone. The soundtrack is outstanding as well. Loved it.

The Kidnappers from 1953, great film with a great line in it when the boy is getting sent to school for an education says, what did your daddy die of grandpappy, hard work and disappointment came the reply.

Scottish and Boer settlers in Canada in the 1900s.

Christ! Are those films still going? What number is that one?

The Grand Budapest Hotel - 8/10

 

Probably the most I've ever enjoyed a Wes Anderson film. A proper farce with a soul. Honestly think Ralph Fiennes has a decent claim to being Britain's greatest screen actor; how can the man who portrayed Amon Goeth hit a comedy mark so well?

Him talking about establishing himself in prison is absolutely brilliant.

 Behave. It's Craig Fairbrass.

Watched “Come and See “ for the second time whilst doing the ironing. Must be the most harrowing war film of all time, makes any western WW2 film look like they made by Disney. Will have those images in my head all weekend now. Highly recommended but beware it’s as bleak as fuck and based on true events. 

[SasaS]

The Father with Anthony Hopkins. Didn't really get the point. Hopkins did get the Oscar though.

I've mentioned this a few times as I have it right up there in terms of the best WW2 films ever made. Superb but very uncomfortable film making.

I wasn’t planning that, I think the post would work.

No I’ll have a look online. Although I have no way of playing a DVD.

I've just googled it but was already on google images. Looks absolutely fucking terrifying. Why is the weird looking cunt just looking at me? Shove it up your arse.
