Good luck avoiding spoilers!

 

It's pretty easy.  I have no life and don't open the Star Wars thread.

I will go and see this inbetween Christmas and New Year when the hype machine has died down and will probably see another film alongside on the same visit just in case it's not as good as the reviews suggest. Although I like Star Wars I was not completely blown away by either Force Awakens or Rogue One (they were OK, like but if they weren't Star Wars I wouldn't have bothered) so I will go in with low expectations rather than high.

[The Guest]

If it was a stand alone film not a Star Wars film i would better receive it, but it’s not.

 

I gotta disagree on the humour side though, some of this was really fun and didn’t take itself too serious. You’re right about Kylo though, he steals the show in this.

Come over to the Star Wars thread noodles and I’ll explain what I mean about the comedy. I don’t want to give anything away in here

I have never been able to get into Star Wars, despite trying.

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Ethan Hawke. Nearly two hours long and it's quite a sad film but it's well acted and an original story. Certainly not going to win any smiles and the ending is super-grim. 8/10.

Watched this with my 5 and 7 yr old daughters.

 

Loved it.

The Disaster Artist. 8/10.

 

Quality - funny, sweet, emotional....never give up.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Detroit is a very sombre watch but a good account of police brutality in the earlier years of accounts - Kathryn Bigelow seems to be building up quite a nice record of films.

 

8.5/10

Just watched this.

 

Very good.

 

That dorky lad in We're The Millers turned out to be a right nasty fecker.

He's a good actor that Will Poulter, used to think he was an annoying little shit but he's proved very capable of late.

What is ironic is that all the nasty bastards in the film had a line they were not willing to cross - although it could be argued that their line was a lot further forward than most normal people! - and most damage was done by someone who was just a bit stupid and didn't understand what was happening.

 

Scary shit.

I was most surprised to see, what appeared to be, a Freemason-like handshake of congratulations at the end of the court case between the acquitted policemen. What on earth could that be suggesting?

 

 

Keep it on the low.

Noticed there is a thing called a Porg in the new Star Wars film, made me chuckle & presumably anybody else who was a fan of the Tom Sharpe

' Wilt ' books.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Mudbound. 8.5/10

 

Powerful story albeit a bit slow at times. Really like how they tell the story of two families tied through racism and yet certain bonds made by it. Really good Cinematography and solid acting throughout. Certainly worth a watch.

My daughter now 19 watched that every day when she was younger.

I have to admit I didn't notice that. Is it possible they were part of a special group - possibly something like the KKK? I would imagine they would have some kind of identifying behaviour so they know they are dealing with a genuine member?

The Last Jedi - 5/10.

Loved those books.

The last Jedi. Alright while watching it. Awful when you come out and have time to think about it. 4/10

Cripes.

 

I'm getting mixed messages.  Some people saying it's smazin', others say it sucks.

Surprisingly, the actings really good. It’s the lack of plot and length of film that spoils it. I’d still recommend going to see it but I’m in no rush to see it again like I did with TFA.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi 8.5/10

 

I enjoyed it immensely, even if things are moving in a different direction to what people expected/what’s happened before.

 

Solid film, not perfect but a decent 2 and a half hours. About time someone took the series in a slightly different direction. If you’re expecting another rehash like with The Force Awakens you’re in for a disappointment.

 

Seen it twice now and it got even better on the second viewing.

TLJ 9/10

It happens very quickly, I paused it and clicked back a few frames and it's definitely one of 'those' handshakes.

Match point - Most of the film involves insufferable upper class wankers going about their lives with the lead character an aspirational Tennis coach (despite the name of the film it has almost nothing to do with Tennis). He's baffling supposed to be from a working class Irish family yet has a middle class/posh English accent, though checking Wikipedia the actor is actually Irish so may be his natural accent (is this a thing?). Anyway, one of the lines of the movie was "who was better, Agassi or Henman?" which pretty much sums it up, compounded by an appearance from James Nesbitt. To be fair it also has 2 appearances from the league of gentleman, not to mention the more than slightly attractive Scarlett Johannson and the ending is pretty good which gives it a 5.8/10.

TLJ - the great bits didn't do enough to distract me from the weak parts. The Finn character arc was poor - waste of an interesting character. 6/10
