Last Film You Saw

Saipan - the lad who plays Roy Keane is fantastic, but picking Steve Coogan to play Mick McCarthy wasn’t the best idea imo. Still a good watch and if the set up really was that bad when they arrived then I would’ve gone home as well.
 
Once again remind me to NEVER listen to bluemoon for movie opinions.

Peaky Blinders The Immortal Man.

While not hitting the heights of the series, this was still a brilliant watch, thoroughly entertaining, visually superb and a great soundtrack. Acting was also top notch as you'd expect. 8.5/10

same thought it was good and a fitting wrap up for the series, not sure what people were expecting, it was in line with the series but if you didnt like the series then i guess you wouldnt like this
 
Just watched The Hitman with Chuck Norris now I know where Van Damme got his looks from in Hard Target .
 
Couple of oldies that I've never seen

New York, New York

Meandering, dated, De Niro character was very unlikeable and he was unsuited to the part i think. Minelli was good in it tbf. 4/10

The Last Waltz

Last concert by The Band, various legends of music joining in, also directed by Scorsese like the above.
If you like the music its a 8/10.
 
I swear. About the lad from Gala with Tourette’s. The film that caused a crisis at the Oscars because well, the lad used inappropriate language. Who’d a thunk it.
Film very good and worth a watch. Think it’s on Netflix.

I watched Train Dreams. People say it made them cry. I didn't get it. Fair enough I watch a film every 10 years, they do nothing for me. He gets a job starts a family. He turns a blind eye to ethnic cleansing at work then his wife and child died. Is it because he turned a blind eye?

Pretty boring.
 
As I flew to Tenerife and back, in the last week I've watched

War Machine
Started off OK and then turned into another USA saves the world from aliens OTT nonsense

The Rip
Based on a true story. Good film apart from the end. Too much artistic licence

A prayer before dawn
Another based on a true story. English drug addict and boxer is thrown into jail in Thailand
Brutal in parts
 
Not for everyone, for sure, but went to the cinema last week to see Hamnet. I didn't simply want to see it on my desktop screen . It so happens that I'm very interested indeed in that period, and that man.

If you're not, skip. It's no “Get to the choppa” movie, that's for sure.

Very fine, and although Jessie Buckley turned in a terrific performance, I don't think Paul Mescal has quite got his due: without him, no her. Without her, no him. I really think that. They fed off each other, the way two actors at the top of their game do.
Just one thing slightly jarred me. They have people more or less in period clothing. I don't think that choice could have been avoided, and the film still be credible. Also, they somehow found a place, a village that seemed to have been preserved from Tudor times (I'm pretty sure it wasn't all CGI, although the London scenes obviously were). But the way they speak is too modern, even jarringly contemporary. One example among several: a good few times, they say “ok” to each other. I mean, come on…
I don't cry at all easily — not at all — but I have to admit that that one wrung tears out of me.
 
Just finished watching Peaky Blinders film. If you are a big fan of the series, prepare to be underwhelmed.

I don't want to do any spoilers but they could not even get the main supporting cast from the series together let alone a new supporting cast for the film.

Production was fantastic, soundtrack is great, but the writing is pretty shite. There is no real conflict either. Once you get 5 minutes into the film you will be able to realise what is lacking. There is a also a big deletion of previous characters. Polly gets mentioned a few times but Jon Shelby does not get mentioned once.

It is very watchable as a standalone film if you have not seen the series and is probably more of a promotion for watching the series than anything else. It is nothing like El Camino at the end of Breaking Bad.
