MSU Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Movie 32 (Missus) -- Moana 8/10. Enjoyed this far more than I expected to. The animation was so beautiful and while I could've done without most of the songs, Eddie Izzard, and the Yoda grandmother, it held my attention and gave me goosebumps at the end. Lovely stuff, all the better when I discover that it's based on actual south Pacific mythology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Just now, Mark Connolly said: The Eddie Izzard bit, which I bolded to draw attention to it. Yeah. Doesn't look bolded. The missus informed me that he was the massive crab. That would appear to be bollocks. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 He has massive crabs. That's probably how the confusion arose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Escape From Pretoria. Daniel Radcliffe and Daniel Webber play white ANC activists in South Africa during apartheid who end up in jail for distributing leaflets.....although by small explosions right enough. The film is about their attempt to escape over a long period of time. Decent film and quite tense throughout...........7/10. Stronger Jake Gyllenhaal has legs blown off at the Boston marathon and helps the FBI in the early investigation. Thereafter about his recuperation and relationship with his on off girfriend. Tremendous perfomance from Gyllenhaal but the rest of his family come across as utterly detestable. Didn't recognise his mother was played by Miranda Richardson until the final credits...............8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Every Which Way But Loose Clint Eastwood drives a truck, drinks beer, has a pet orangutan, kicks f**k out of a bunch of bikers and stalks a borderline boiler. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 A Fish Called WandaNot sure why I hadn’t seen this before, but what an absolute joy from start to finish. Great cast. I mean, really great cast. Big fan of Kevin Kline ( love In & out and Dave) and he’s excellent here, but Michael Palin steals it. Jamie Lee Curtis is a weapons grade WID which helps too. Just wonderful. 10/10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Revolutionary road. 8/10 A good wee watch. Kate Winslet and Leo dicaprio are fucking brilliant in this, and there are some great supporting characters. The perils of settling down in 50s America. They're both deeply unhappy but he loses his bottle when a new life in Paris is planned. It ended a bit abruptly i thought, and left me wondering wtf. But actually on reflection it was a ok. When you show that type of real life psychological breakdown things rarely end up with a nice bow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Movie 33 (Kid #1) -- Be Cool 3/10. Pointless sequel to a fairly pointless movie: Get Shorty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 My Spy - decent family film with a few laughs.Aquaslash - one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Trolls : World TourNot as good as the first one (which wasn’t great either) which I can only describe as an hour and a half of silliness. Found myself pissed off with one of the male trolls having a baby. Il blame that on being tired. No idea what the child will want to watch tonight, hopefully something decent 4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Movie 34 (Kid #2) -- Dumbo 4.5/10. The live action remake is, as expected, not as charming or funny as the original and takes a fairly straightforward story and needlessly complicates matters. Also, the original was over and done with in just over an hour. The remake manages to almost double that. The CGI elephant is pretty decent but that's all it has going for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Doom: Annihilation - remarkably cheap cash-in on the revival of the video game series, which lazily makes many of the same mistakes of the original Doom film while also shamelessly wishing it could be a remake of Aliens.Worth a look if you're into dire plotting lifted from a dozen better (but still shit) films, model work worthy of Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds, plasticky generic space station sets, and rubber poop monster suits. Just don't expect anything that might remotely remind you of the games, or of a competently made film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Colossal Netflix, 7/10 A drunk woman has to move back to her home town after her boyfriend tells her to bolt from their New York apartment. She meets an old friend from school who runs a bar and ends up with a job at said bar. Meanwhile a massive monster is terrorizing Seoul, destroying buildings and killing some folk. Spoilers follow. Yeah, turns out that somehow the woman is the monster. She gets drunk at the bar with the owner and his friends and ends up going home through a park, and it is in this park that she somehow 'becomes' the monster. By 'become' I mean that whilst she is in the park in America, the monster in Seoul moves exactly as she does. So if she scratches her head, the monster does. The destruction comes from her stomping around. At first she had no idea. It's only when she watches news footage of the monster that she begins to suspect. She experiments by making arm movements and this confirms that she controls the monster. The monster only appears when she is in the park. She reveals to her bar owner friend and his pals that she's the monster. When proving it the bar owner accidentally joins in and is revealed in Seoul to be a giant robot I won't spoil it any further. Give it a watch. Edited April 18, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
