Last Film You Saw

Wonka, very enjoyable and the kids enjoyed it as well. Much better than the Johnny Depp remake they did. 7/10

American Fiction - 9/10. Superb movie, equally funny and poignant.

American Fiction (2024) - 9/10

Excellent film. really well thought through film about stereotypes, race and validity of expression etc. Jeffrey Wright was really good.

Adventureland (2009) - 8/10

This was a surprisingly good film, i thought it was going to be a throwaway comedy thing but a really well made piece of Americana, with a great soundtrack. Proof, if it were needed, that you can make a high quality film with the simplest boy meets girl story with no CGI, mental twists or gore.

The Promised Land with Mads Mikkelsen, thoroughly enjoyed

The Bricklayer. Pure bag of dog piss.

Aaron Eckhart isn't made for this type of role.

Denzel Washington's character, Robert McCall would have struggled to save this abomination.

Too much pointing and not enough action?

Napolean ... disappointing 6/10

Salt burn ... wife loved it.. i thought it was ok 7/10

Tried to watch the Beekeeper 2 nights ago and found it appalling, started off well and I lasted 20 minutes until I switched it off and put the Genie on starring the usually funny Melissa McCarthy, and it was a complete bust, unfunny tripe served up as entertainment there should be a law against producing drivel that bad.

John Statham is:

The Transporter
The Mechanic
The Wildcard
The Expendable
The Spy
The Beekeeper

Next up, John Statham is the Amazon Delivery Driver.

Saltburn - Way too many convenient plot lines to give it a shred of credibility, nothing is ever explained (why did he not get on with his parents, unless I missed something?) I could go on, but it would possibly spoil it for others - 4/10 purely for parts of the soundtrack and the setting.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Too much pointing and not enough action?

Mumbling too. He mumbles through it as if it gave him a bit of an edge or toughness. However, he just ended up sounding like a heavy-smoking Joe Biden.

The Zone of Interest review – Jonathan Glazer’s unforgettable Auschwitz drama is a brutal masterpiece

Only the constant pall of smoke, and a dread-inducing soundscape, tell of the horrors beyond the wall as the idyllic life of the commandant of the death camp and his family rolls by in Glazer’s Oscar-nominated film

Smile. Quite fun 7/10. Very similar to It Follows.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Too much pointing and not enough action?

Huge delay in what you said. Didn't think it through.

I must have hit a brick wall.

John Wick. Fantastic.

The Taking Of Pelham 123 - the 2008 version
It was okay, nowhere near the original, John Travolta says, Mutherfucker, far too many times, 6/10

 

[Blue Maverick]

John Wick. Fantastic.

It’s the best of the 4, the rest jump ramp it up until 4 which is about 30 mins too long, leave your brain at home and enjoy.

 

[Rory Bluelow]

John Wick. Fantastic.

Agreed. Watched it a couple of days ago. You just need to suspend belief and go with it.
I‘d first tried to watch John Wick 4 and was completely baffled. You need to see the first one !

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Just got round to watching the Creator.
I saw it through but it wasn’t great 5/10

 

[Blue Maverick]

Iron Claw, how much bad luck can a family have! 7/10

Zodiac

One of the best films in the past 20 years. The runtime might deter some but Fincher got the pacing spot on for me.
