Boiling Point - 6/10. One shot kitchen drama with Stephen Graham. Mediocre and not at all realistic. I intended to watch the TV show off the back of it, but I’m having second thoughts now. 

[Mook]

A Bronx Tale.

 

I really like this film but a couple of things pissed me off on the most recent viewing. Firstly, after C witnesses the murder at the start, the police are at his door within 30 seconds then when the bikers get locked in the boozer, the Italian boys all just happen to be standing behind the back door with baseball bats, fucks all that about? Still a good film though with a great soundtrack.

Equalizer 3. Big bad Denzel in a 9/10.

Best of the three for me. Really violent at times, bit quiet in the middle but a good adult watch on a Saturday night with a few beers.

He tells his mate as he’s about to let them get drinks to go and get the boys because he knows it’s likely going to kick off

Accused - Netflix 2023 

 

Story about a young lad falsely accused on Twitter of bombing a tube station in London. His address gets leaked on the dark web. It’s fucking brilliant. For a low budget British movie …. Love it. Very suspenseful. The actor that plays the main character is superb. 9/10

Does he? I completely missed that.

 

The bit with the police at the start is still a bit annoying.

Yeah when he first walks into the pub. He says give them the beers then has a word in the ear. He knew the bikers would be arseholes

Desperate to see this. Missed it at the pictures. I love Denzel and I also love these films. They’re very underrated.

Watched it yesterday and I thought it was gash (I love the first two), waaaay to slow. Opinions eh?

 

Watched the latest Exorcist thing at the cinema the other week, absolute shite.

Killers of the Flower Moon. 

 

8/10. Date night on the meerkat thing, her idea. 3.5 hours? She clearly hates me at the minute. Anyway, very good. Didn't get up for a piss once and it didn't feel like that long. Some brilliant acting, Di Caprio is the Jack Nicholson of our generation. Quirky ending that didn't match the film. It was quite Tarantino esque at times but another cracker from Scorcese. Arguably De Niro's most evil ever character. 

 

I actually think films can be too short sometimes and this fills every minute, no pointless scenes.

Scream 6.

 

Why?

 

3/10.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Jazzman's Blues

 

Netflix version of Mississippi Burning / Loving / Passing mashup. Very worthy and watchable but not as good as any of those 3 brilliant films.

 

Poorly acted, a bit too schmaltzy, and overly long, but still a worthy watch.

 

6.5/10 Nodi Ezra Real Debrid

It's brilliant that.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

 

Only 40 minutes long, Wes Anderson adaptation of a Roald Dahl story. Starring Dominic Cumberbatch, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Feines and Dev Patel.

 

Quite brilliant. Just watch it. Thank me later.

 

9.5/10 Netflix or NERD

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'll have to watch that, I absolutely Love the fantastic Mr fox by Wes Anderson.

[manwiththestick]

Talk to me. 

 

I so wanted this to be good as the trailer and reviews looked promising. Alas, as with most horror films it just lacked, it was okay in bits but overall a bit of a let down.

 

6/10.

[Clem H Fandango]

Class of 1984.

 

Despite looking dated, the plot was probably ahead of its time and still strikes a chord today. If you have detention for 90 minutes its a solid 6.5/10

I had to turn this off after 20 minutes. I just couldn't watch another horror film with so many insufferable teens. I'd have probably ended up cheering each untimely death or something.

I thought cheering the untimely death of insufferable teens was the whole point of horror flicks? Or have Inbeen getting it wrong?

The Swan

 

The second of Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl adaptations, this time telling of the indomitable spirit of little Peter Watson.

 

17 minutes of brilliant storytelling.

 

9/10 Netflix or NERD

[DalyanPete]

The Colour of Money. 8/10

Paul Newman was such a good actor.

You really would  punch the fuck out of Tom Cruise if he acted like that around a pool table 

Enjoyable watch.

[Carvalho Diablo]

The Rat Catcher

 

Part 3 of Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl mini quadrology, and another 17 minutes of riveting and addictive storytelling.

 

Laugh out loud funny, the final line was killer.

 

9/10 Netflix or NERD
