ThomCat Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Green Book - Well acted, funny, endearing. I'm glad Mahershala Ali won an academy award for his performance. Exceptional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Blue StoryBased on real life experiences of life growing up in the London borough of Lewisham, between waring rival gangs conflicts over each others territories being invadedI found it hard to follow the black London lingo at times but the violence was pretty hard hitting. The guns that were used on film sounded more like cap guns though. Decent enough watch.6.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Electra Glide in Blue A slightly inept highway patrol cop investigates a murder in 1970s Arizona. It's cool film with a beautiful cinematography. A lot of long shots of endless roads through Monument Valley. The movie is dated but is a decent time capsule of the hippy counterculture era. 7/10 Edited April 14, 2020 by tongue_tied_danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Unicorn Store (Netflix) Twee cutesy stuff about loving yourself and not giving up/in. I can see why many folk detest it. I can also see why many folk love it, as I'm one of them. Had a wee tear running down my cheek at one point. 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Movie 31 (Me) -- Fighting With MY Family 7/10. Been meaning to see this for a while. A bit cringey, a bit making a movie by numbers, but it was good fun and The Rock and Nick Frost and Stephen Merchant (together at last) put in a decent turn and the final fight between Paige and AJ Lee was better in the movie than it was in real life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Super A downtrodden guy decided to become a superhero after his missus leaves him. One or two amusing moments but overall it was pretty pish. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
