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

I'll have a look for these tonight, thanks.

Watched that Saltburn last night. Not really sure how I get about it or if I enjoyed it even. Mrs Curly liked it and gave it a 6.5 but I went for a 5.

 

Certainly a bit different and I’d recommend people to watch it even though I didn’t buzz off it if that makes sense?

Except that The Straight Story doesn't really feel like a David Lynch film too much in comparison.

 

Mullholand Drive and Lost Highway you list as your favourite films when you are trying to get them to hire you as a film critic and want to look clever. Because you know that they didn't understand them either. Nobody does.

 

Moving road in the night to Bowie's I'm Deranged does look great though.

Reptile 7.5/10

 

Benicio Del Toro acting masterclass. Made even more impressive in that he also produced the film. Oddly, justin timberlake makes an effort too.

[Elite]

The Beekeeper - 6/10

 

Absolute nonsense but strangely enjoyable.

[Mook]

Dumb Money

 

Wasn't particularly impressed with this. 4.5/10

 

10/10 for Shailene Woodley.

[Lurtz]

Lock Stock

 

Not seen it for 20 years. It's fucking brilliant, it really is. Forgot how good it was. 

 

Solid 8/10 

 

You fackin mag. 

[Harry Squatter]

Whiplash. JK Simmons being a massive abusive cunt to everyone. Like a musical version of Full Metal Jacket. 7/10.

Calibre- 7/10. Grim, oppressive and nightmarish little melodrama about the aftermath of a disastrous hunting trip in the Highlands. It's about 20 minutes too long, but it's very effective and up there with a good Iain Banks story in the dread, horror and attitudes of city folk towards the impoverished villagers up north. I actually dreamt about this after watching it, and the moral quandaries thrown up are really well realised.

 

I’ve just watched this. Very moody film. 7/10 also

Having watched Barbie, I can’t help but laugh at the irony of Gosling being nominated for an OSCAR while Robbie & Gerwig aren’t.

[Mook]

Blame It On Rio

 

Proper 80s effort this where Michael Caine gets to rattle one of the fittest birds I've ever seen in my life (see below) with his Dennis Taylor specs on. Seriously hammy acting all round here. 5/10

Seeing all the feminists kicking off on social media today about this is really making my day.

[VladimirIlyich]

The Holdovers 7.5/10.

Nothing original but a well acted and good solid play on a modern version of Goodbye Mr Chips and films of that ilk.

I suppose Best supporting actor is a lot lower in cache than Best actress and director categories. 

Wasn't particularly impressed with the film, and don't think Robbie or Gosling were anything special in it.

Sondra Haller should be a shoe in for Best Actress for her performance in Anatomy of a Fall, but she won't win; pesky foreign language speaking German sort.

[Bjornebye]

The best actress rarely wins the best actress. Margot Robbie should have won back to back titles since 1929

Started watching some film called The Kitchen, which has Kano and Ian Wright in it. 

 

Lasted 10 mins and binned it off as it was dull.

 

First 10 mins - 4/10

Rest of film - Unknown

I think you're being generous tbh mate, it was absolutely shite / 10.

In the Heat of the Night 

 

Been years since I last watched it. Something's always bugged me though, and that's Quincy Jones' score. It got nominated for awards, but I don't think it fits the atmosphere at times. It's too light and jangly, like a playful comedy, meanwhile Tibbs is trying not to get lynched. 

 

Still a classic, mind.

[SasaS]

It's of its time. Trying not to get lynched was seen as a playful comedy then.

Been rewatching 80s and 90s films from my childhood. Last one was The Fly.

 

Fuck me I wish I hadn't watched it. I'm a horror fan so am used to being disturbed, but jesus... first film I've seen in a long time which actually made me feel physically sick.

 

The first 20 odd minutes are quite dated and the script is clunky as fuck, but once the teleport machines kick in it just heads straight into Grossville.

 

6.5/10.

I've never got to the end if that film, far too minging for me.

You mean a half man/half fly vomiting acid onto a fella's hand and leg and then eating his melted foot is minging? Cbeebies stuff that!
