Finished Rebel Moon.

 

A huge flaming bag of dog shit.

Rebel Moon - 2/10. All shot using Snyder’s trademark sepia toned hues and slowed/normal speed action sequences. 
 

Things I stole from other films, by Zack Snyder, aged 57. 
 

1. Orcs from LotR. Just give them blue skin. Nobody will notice.

 

2. South Africans as bad guys. Just having a South African accent clearly makes somebody an evil, rapist murderer.

 

3. Back to LotR to steal Bree. A rain soaked, mud infested shithole full of questionable characters.

 

4. while we’re in Bree, let’s style Charlie Hunnam’s character on Aragorn.

 

6. Gladiator. Let’s just steal Djimon Hounsou full stop.

 

7. Star Wars. We’ll just use the Gungans as a template for King Levitica. Right down to the way they speak.

 

8. MCU. Levitica needs a royal guard. Love those Skrulls.

 

9.  Next up we’ll Nick The Empress of the Racnoss from Dr Who. We won’t even attempt to disguise it. We’ll just hope the BBC don’t notice.

 

10. What do you get if you cross Immorton Joe’s boys from Mad Max, with The Ravagers from the MCU. Why, it’s the Bloodaxe twins and their merry men.

 

11. This is basically the plot of Seven Samurai. Just with a shit script. Shit actors. And boring action sequences. Kurosawa will be turning in his grave.

 

A risible effort, on every level. God knows how much money Netflix have allowed him to chuck away here.

Yeah, but wait for the director's cut.......

That streaming anywhere, mate? Or do I need to take to the high seas?

I downloaded it from IPT. Would imagine it’s now streaming.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, Charlie Hunnam has just turned up doing an Oirish accent. 

 

This really isn’t very good.

 

Dere's more to Charlie dan dis.

Given the country's recent history that is not exactly a long shot though!

Dream Scenario

 

Really interesting Nic Cage movie which completely runs out of steam half way though. Pity.

 

6/10

[Mook]

Teen Wolf.

 

Boof was much hotter than Pamela.

 

[SasaS]

Watched the last Indiana Jones, it's not as bad as people would have you believe, it's more like meh, mostly pointless flogging of a dead horse. 6/10.

 

Apparently, it is one of the most expensive films of all time, written by several top film writers and it has all sorts of I don't even know what to call them, AI CGI? And this is what they come up with after thousands worked for years? Ten minutes of end credits, like an animation, which for the good part of it, it seems to be.

 

Best thing is when the Fleabag lady says to Hannibal, stop trying to be funny, you're German, in a film which drags on for two and a half hours completely devoid of any wit, humour or self-awareness.

 

pamparampaaah pamparaah

Saltburn. 8/10

 

Wasn't too sure what to expect but I didn't expect that. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Some great characters, Richard E Grant is superb as always and the lead, who I recognised from Top Boy, was outstanding. 

 

Only issue I had was that he was supposed to be a Scouser which I only picked up on about an hour in. He's not very good at accents then.

Re-watching Out of Sight with Clooney and Lopez, the real star is Dennis Farina though, he's brilliant, steals every scene he's in.

Dennis Farina rep. Been watching Crime Story that I used to record but had never seen all the way through but had always stuck with me.  He was a cop in Chicago before getting into acting.

I read before that he was a former cop. He's brilliant in everything, Manhunter, Midnight Run, Get Shorty, even Snatch.

Wonka.

 

7/10.

 

Very enjoyable. Weirdly got half of the Peep Show cast in it. 

 

Well better than that Johnny Deep pile of shite.

I watched it last night. All a bit weird for me. 
 

Farleigh was a completely unlikable cunt.

Oh aye he was a complete twat. And not the only one.

Today I stayed in my pyjamas and watched Toy Story 4 followed by the Dambusters, both in their entirety.

Alibi sorted then. 

[Anubis]

Red Notice - 2/10.

[Paul]

The Boy and The Heron - 7/10. Need to see it again, but it’s not in the top tier of Miyazaki films for me. It feels a little but too self-referential with nods to all his big hits present and correct. Good but not great. 

[littletedwest]

Watched a film called the foreigner on netflix. Thought nice easy watching action which it was but better than I expected with Jackie Chan playing someone not jokey and pierce brosnan playing an ex IRA man with a passing resemblance to Gerry Adams

Took my nieces and nephew to see this yesterday. 
 

It was a big ol’ Peep Show reunion. Dobby, Big Suze, Simon, the lot. 
 

I didn’t know that it was going to be as “musical” as it was, but that didn’t really spoil it too much. 
 

Quite humorous in parts. Even if my youngest niece did cry at the end. 
 

I enjoyed it too. 7/10 from me too.

I'm not a fan of the original (apart from Gene Wilder, and Pure Imagination is obviously a belter). And I absolutely hate the Tim Burton one. So I wasn't expecting much of this at all. Hadn't realised it was the fella behind Paddington and Neil Hannon had written the songs. So I was pleasantly surprised.

I thought that the bits were the chocoholic police officer gradually increased in size were quite amusing. 
 

Hugh Grant’s Oompa Loompa bits were funny too.

Spiderman Across the Spider Verse - brilliant animation that. Hugely enjoyable.8/10

[Mudface]

Some films I rewatched with my boys now they're old enough.

 

Casino- 8.5/10. I always used to preferred this to Goodfellas, but it doesn't quite reach the same heights these days. Still fantastic though. I must just be jaded because the baseball bat scene towards the end didn't really bother me- I saw it originally at the cinema and was really sickened.

 

Seven Psychopaths- 6/10. Amusing in parts, but it's just a bit off. Colin Farrel should have been the Jack o' Diamonds.

 

The Nice Guys.- 8/10. Very funny at times, decent buddy film.
