accies1874 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Genuinely though, I saw Stan & Ollie which I found sweet but fairly flawed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (12) Colette 8.5/10 I have never been a fan of period costume dramas, and I went to see this simply because with my Unlimited card, the more films I see the less each one cost, it was absolutely BRILLIANT. It felt so modern. Dominic West was absolutely fantastic as the arrogant, charismatic, yet slightly scared publisher; his young wife is actually a better writer than him. Keira Knightly is splendid as the lead, and it’s easy to dismiss her performance. It’s absolutely brilliant, it evokes so many issues, I mean I can’t explain this without spoiling. I mean there’s sexual politics and this is fin de ciecle. I LOVED it, and I’m not someone who has ever enjoyed period dramas. Prior to The Favourite anyway.

jimmy boo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Beautiful Boy...7/10. Steve Carell plays a father trying to support his son overcome a crystal meth addiction. A bit bleak at times but good performances all round and worth a watch. The Guardian didn't like it due to the family being white so all the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s another example of Christian Bale’s odd obsession with total body transformation. I really enjoyed it at the time but some doubts have crept in now. I won’t spoil anything because I expect a fair few of you will be going to see this. It’s certainly very interesting at the very least. I will say that this film is the most egregious example of Steve Carell (in this case, Donald Rumsfeld) just totally being Michael Scott, it’s endearing and grating at the same time. (cinema) I never thought I'd be able to say the sentence "Christian Bale looks like a young Chevy Chase". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 American MadeThe clearly exaggerated story of Barry Seal, who was a pilot who flitted between transporting ching for Escobar and guns for the CIA, becoming minted in the process. Quite funny and I liked the political background to it.MoanaCan say without shame that this was a fantastic film. Beautifully animated, banging tunes and great voice acting. Everything you want from Disney. The Rock can hold a tune as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 again. I hope when they get the infinity stones back off Thanos they have some sort of nod to bringing Yondu back alongside the other characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Sorry, Yondu is dead forever. No bringing him back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Watched Fyre on Netflix. A documentary on how the $10,000 ticket music festival in the Bahamas collapsed. Just a bunch of rich, young incompetents making excuses for 90 minutes. Thoroughly entertaining, and you’re delighted that it failed at the end. Everyone involved is insufferable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lanley Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Watched Mary Queen of Scots tonight and thought it was okish. Worth a watch but wouldn’t rush back to watch it again.

paul-r-cfc Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The UpsideDecent film overall. Kevin Hart on top form and Cranston is funny too in his own way. Can kinda understand the stooshy over an able bodied actor playing a disabled character but realistically, how many quadriplegic actors are kicking about?Isle Of DogsThis was weird as shit. Mental Japanese animated film about a tyrannical mayor who expels all dogs to 'Trash Island' and a wee boy flies there to find his dog.Interesting, robot chicken style animation mixed in with classic anime. Some not too subtle messages about authoritarian leaders turning the masses against a group, genocide etc.Very different but enjoyable with some funny dialogue between the dogs (sentences you never thought you'd say) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
