The Midnight Sky - 2/10

 

Just a fucking boring film that goes on forever and ends stupidly.

The Siege of Jadotville. Not heard of this, decent account of a little known sequence of events in 1961. 8/10.

[Karl_b]

Peanut Butter Falcon - beautiful. A proper buddy road-trip movie, wonderfully acted and full of joy. 8.5/10.

The Death of Stalin 

 

Probably one of my favourite films now, it's stood up to repeat viewings well. Buscemi, Whitehouse, Tambor, Palin and a scene stealing Jason Isaacs really is a cracking cast. It manages to draw humour even out of the darkest moments.

I meant to watch that, bastard, it must be on catch up I imagine?

Have you watched Wolfwalkers yet?

Just finished it. Really really enjoyed it.

 

8/10 The Crew / Kodi

[polymerpunkah]

You Are Here: A Come From Away Story

 

A documentary about the grounding of 38 planes in a small town in Newfoundland on 9-11.

 

I'd like to say it's a reflection of all of Canada, but I think it's more a reflection of the fine people of Newfoundland specifically and the people of the east coast of Canada in general.

 

8 of 10

 

Same score for "Hunt for the Wilderpeople".

 

I laughed/smiled throughout both, which doesn't go amiss these days.

Midnight Sky - 3/10. Might have sounded good on paper, but very underwhelming in execution. What the fuck were the end credits all about? I guess they forgot to turn the cameras off and the film crew had fucked off - can't say I blame them. 

 

 

Dunkirk - 10/10. I remember not liking it first time round. Not sure why, I must have been a twat. Absolutely loved it this time round. I even got emotional at the end.

 

 

Krull /Masters of the Universe / Legend / The Never ending story - had a bit of an 80s fantasy Fest recently and fuck you they're all 10/10 masterpieces. Actually, Legend loses a point I had to watch the non-Tangerine Dream version.

What's Shia LaBeouf like in this? I mostly avoid his movies as he tends to be a bit too Shia LaBeouf for me. But I'm hearing good things about this film, so I'd like to watch it, as long as Shia LaBeouf isn't too Shia LaBeouf in it.

Just finished Death of Stalin

 

Absolutely brilliant

That’s the most Shia LaBeouf I’ve ever read in one paragraph. Shia Lebeouf.

Escape Room - 6/10. R13 version of Saw. Not that I’ve ever sat through any of the Saw films as they don’t float my boat, but I’ve seen the trailers and this looks like Saw without the meat grinding. Entertaining but entirely forgettable.

That's the main reason why it flopped commercially. As he's not the central character, it takes the focus away from his performance. If you're thinking any moment a Transformer will popup on screen, rest assured you won't experience that.

He’s really good in it, in my view.

16 Candles - 5/10. There’s a reason I hadn’t watched this since the 80s prior to yesterday: it’s shit. Hard to believe this is a John Hughes film, to be honest.

Is this a sequel to the two Ronnie's sketch ?

Cheers, I'll take this advice on board. 

 

Not yours Al, there's way too much Shia LaBeouf in there. Have a word.

Midnight Sky - Absolute old load of shite.

The Devil All The Time - 8.5/10 

 

Cracking film this, the best film I've seen since 3 Billboards. Could easily watch it again tomorrow it's that good.

30 minutes in and I'm binning it if the film doesn't cheer up even just a little bit soon; hard watch this.

"Born Yesterday"

 

1950 US riff on "Pygmalion" with Judy Holliday, William Holden and Broderick Crawford.

 

It's not perfect, but it's worth watching for Holliday's performance as a "ditzy blonde". She's mesmerizing.

He's great in it to be fair.

In my head I thought this would some Hot Tub Time Machine style movie so have steered clear. I was pleasantly surprised by it. Brilliant film. 8.5/10 

 

I'd like to point out I've not watched Hot Tub Time Machine (I don't think) so no wonder I was wrong.

You need to watch Hot Tub Time Machine. It's great.
