Yeah, some of the violence bits were a bit like an old cowie or a Hollywood film at times once Netflix got their grubby little mitts on it.

 

Love

That Irish birds tits were a massive let down and all ya get me

Elvis - despite not being a fan of his I really enjoyed this film. Great performance by Hanks and an even better one by Austin Butler who I hadn't heard of before. Elvis' life was clearly a full time circus and they captured this very well. 8.5/10

Rebel Moon: Part 1, A child of fire. 

 

1/10. Absolute wank. Robbed every single Sci-fi gimmick going. Brutal acting. Brutal CGI.

Stupidly watched that the other night. Twat of a film.

Me, Scott and Lurtzy warned you all about Rebel Moon. We warned you.

Street of Shame - Japanese drama about a group of prostitutes after the US Occupation. Not bad.

The Bullet Train - 70s Japanese thriller about a bomb threat on the bullet train. Brilliant stuff with boss action set pieces, an amazing train set for the sequences of trains hurtling towards peril, and Sonny Chiba. Ace.

The Most Dangerous Game - 70s Japanese thriller about a hitman who gets conned after a job, goes for revenge, and keeps telling girls he likes bigger tits. Fantastic.

The Holdovers , Paul Giamatti is excellent as always 

Good stuff 8.5/10

Loved that. I'd give it 8.5/10 as well.

 

Felt like one of those late 80's/early 90's coming of age movies. Not seen anything made like this for a long time. Great stuff.

[Bjornebye]

Over The Top - 8/10

 

Superb 80's bollocks.

Probably just uses it for streaming old ceefax pages.

 

Re-record, not fade away.

Sunrise - 1/10. An attempt to do something a bit different with the vampire myth that fails. Slow, bereft of any proper narrative, and feels like a GCSE media studies project. Elements of High Plains Drifter, and competently acted, but just poor. Also features a bizarre jump in the sequence of events that leaves you feeling that they missed out an entire scene. Swerve.

Went to the Aesthetica Film Festival in York a couple of months ago. Saw some great short films at different venues around the city centre, but this was my favourite. Felt genuinely creepy, really claustrophobic despite being set in a wide open field, and was shot incredibly well: Strangers.

Mrs HL fancied it. I told her about the shite reviews but she said she'll make her own mind up.

Unbeknown to me she'd fell asleep watching it, waking up when it ended, something I wish I had.

Shit that she said.

Cow.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Nope

 

I like Jordan Peele's other films, but this felt ponderous, bloated, and not even slightly scary. Just a bit boring really. I'm sure there's layers to the allegories, but the film has to be able to support them.

 

5/10

[Anubis]

Wanted Man - 5/10. Dolph Lungdren’s retirement age racist cop heads to Mexico to bring back two witnesses to the murder of some DEA agents. Standard trust nobody affair with a couple of average shootouts. Lungdren is far too old and out of shape for this stuff. Highlight is Christina Villa who is one of the witnesses.

 

Miss Villa one for under the radar thread.

Finally saw The Fabelmans. Really enjoyed that picture.

Dream Scenario is really good. I do tend to like odd films and films with Nicolas Cage though and it's definitely both of them.

Started well but ran out of steam I thought. A nice idea but didn't really go anywhere.

Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu. Great film, this. Anyone who likes Kurosawa's pictures should check this and Sansho the Bailiff (not bailift, that's a totally different film) out.

[Shitty Arse]

Another vote for The Holdovers. A beautiful bittersweet film. I just love Paul Giamatti. Such a good actor. 9/10 for me. 

[Mook]

Mulholland Drive

 

I've not seen this before. It's nearly as fucked up as Naomi Watts is amazing looking. It had me hooked though, 7.5/10.

If you like that you should try Lost Highway, which Lynch made four years before Mulholland Drive. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Or indeed his finest ever film, The Straight Story.
