Last Film You Saw

Last Night in Soho

Psychological horror that arcs in and out modern day and 60's London through the perspective of 2 girls whose lives start to unravel. The girls are played by Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy, both of whom were excellent, the former in particular.

Definitely worth going to see if you haven't already.

7.5/10

It's on my list. I really like Anya Taylor Joy. She's gonna have a huge future. In a recent movie her name was Thomasin funnily enough.
 
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

Popular on Netflix at the moment. Don't think it was as good as the first re-boot, just one of those action-adventure movies you can have fun with, without taking it too seriously. Enjoyable and a bit daft, good 'popcorn movie'. To be fair the actors (once they go into the game) do a good job of portraying the person whose supposed to be playing them, if that makes any sense.

Probably going to be 3rd movie given the way it ended and wouldn't complain to be honest.

7/10
 
The French Dispatch. 7/10.

I think if you're not used to Wes Anderson films, this one might be a bit too much to swallow. I think Anderson may have out Anderson'd himself a bit, over egged the dead-pan pudding so to speak, at times having almost cliche-like qualities to it. It's got all the Wes Anderson signatures; beautiful colours, great sets and weird camera shots, dollhouse like buildings, dead pan characters, endless famous faces, snappy lingo and that strange lack of emotional depth (which i think some people really dislike without realising it's happening).

Anyway, my main gripe is the story which while clearly being set up as an anthology is a bit hollow. It's a series of shorts basically, hung around the concept of going through a fictional newspaper supplement so there' some padding in between the main 3 shorts. I dunno, I really appreciate the fact that not all films have to be shot in the same familiar style, so this is a welcome diversion from the norm, plus it's a nice idea for a structure but i think it doesnt quite come off. Some commentary on the creation of art is quite interesting but overall this is not Anderson at his best.

I loved his Moonrise Kingdom
