Munich

 

Seems to be one of the less loved of the Spielberg catalogue, but I enjoy the Le Carre-esque mix of spy thrills and more philosophical musings. It's a bit clunky in places, however the atmosphere of the period is spot on. It's a pity in some ways it was a feature film, as it would probably suit the longer running time of a mini-series.

"More" being the operative word. It's way too long.

Not for me, absolutely flew by.

Film is only too long if you're bored watching it.

Must have watched the Total Longo version which is too Longo.

I think it is definitely one his best offerings of the past 20 years, if not the best. At the time, I was fascinated how he would approach the film, given his religious background and the subject matter itself, but he flatly refuses to take sides.

Yeah, I remember at the time there being concern that it'd be very pro-Israel, glossing over the lad Mossad killed in a case of mistaken identity. Whilst that wasn't really covered, the worry looks misplaced, and seriously underestimating of Spielberg.

 

If anything, the film is more hopeless tragedy than anything else, anti-violence and noncommittal about Israel / Palestine.

I recall Daniel Craig's South African accent being a little bit dodgy, but i can't fully recall if it is or not?

It wasn't great, but then I'm probably in the minority in that I don't think Craig is a particularly good actor. Clive Owen should've got the Bond gig.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be to be fair. I did wonder why they botehred having Gumbo in it again seeing as the fella looked fuck all like him, only to google it and find out it was the same fucking actor all along. Who strangely looks like this in real life and fuck all like Gumbo:

 

 

 

Still only a 4/10 but worth a bash if you liked the original.

Lee Ross. He’s like a chameleon that fella. Dodger in Dodger, Bonzo & the Rest, Gumbo, DCI Litton in Life on Mars, Owen in Eastenders, Ronnie in White Gold, the kid in the Colgate advert, and many others.

Dr Sleep (directors cut). 7/10. Not seen the other cut, this one was 3 hours long. It was okay, story was not what I was expecting, obviously helps if you have watched The Shining. Elliot from ET doing his best Jack Nicholson impression was a bit off putting.

 

Special mention of Rebecca Ferguson as Rose the Hat, what a pretty lady she is by the way, kept losing the Irish accent here and there but by my word she is fit.

Petite Maman (Little Mother)

 

French film by director Celine Sciamma, who responsible for the truly incredible Portrait of A Lady On Fire (best film of the past 10 years).

 

The story about Marion and Nelly, mother and daughter, estrangement and reconciliation, just a completely wonderful and heartwarming film.

 

The 2 young leads are both brilliant, the end scene hits like a ton of bricks.

 

Oh, and for Longo - it's only 70 minutes long.

 

9/10 Kodi Seren Real Debrid with Open Subtitles

 

Note: toggle to the French language stream and not the vulgar Russian one which is default in the stream with the largest file size.

Watched it a few nights back, glorious film making.

 

Simple, beautiful and wonderful.

 

The only down side is the better half trying to convice our five year old that this is how life should be.

She is world class.

Not seen it myself but someone on another thread said its the best British film since Chariots of fire. Got a bit of a sad backstory though as apparently Willie Thorne gambled his whole snooker careers life savings on Bobby George winning best actor for this film at the Golden Globes, unfortunately for Willie he got pipped by Daniel Day Lewis for My Left Foot.

Inevitable that Dave Courtney would be in there somewhere.

 

Some left-field choices in Bobby George, Willy Thorne, and Gary Fuckwit-Bushell. I half expected Si.

Can I also take a moment to commend them on the Microsoft Paint CGI gunshots and explosions.

[Bruce Spanner]

Why did I not know of this gems existence!!!

 

It looks fucking amazing, will be watching.

 

My only nitpicking is the plot is a little ultra realism and conservative, but you can’t have everything.

 

‘Gatwick Gangsters feature film is about a greedy fat cat banker who borrows over night £100,000,000 of a Crime Boss's money. In a 24 hour window the money gets hacked by an Arab King who is a terrorist. His plot to blow up London's Gatwick Airport is foiled by the Mi6.’

Just woke the wife up by trying to stifle my laughter and snorting down my nose uncontrollably.

 

Love daft shit like that.
