Not impressed, its basically a romcom (which i normally enjoy fyi) just felt it was very predictable, tried to be heartwarming in spots. The main actors were ok but one to miss for me.
Watched Ben Wheatey's 'In the Earth' yesterday. Could have been called 'Another Field In England' with it's small cast, woodland setting and psychadelic folk horror stylings. I found it alright, like most of his films, I enjoy the knowing dark humour, striking imagery and fun gore, but I always find his films just trail off into weird meaninglessness. I mean, I love weird but I just wish he would land a film with an ending that's more than just a blender full of acid, kaleidoscopes and folklore.

Thought the same about Kill List. Really unnerving film and finished like it did sort of took the gloss off it.
Fast & Furious, the movie, not the curry I had last night, well worth a watch, completely over the top as per usual, bit of humour, and a bit of a back story.

Totally agree, I think the first 2/3 of Kill List is his best film.

I'n not a fan of Ben Wheatley. I hated A Field In England. His films are far too trippy for my liking . I will probably give this one a miss.
not a new one .. 'The Man with the Iron Heart' is a somewhat disturbing (some scenes of mass murder and torture) biopic of Nazi madman Reinhard Heydrich, the hunt for his assassins and the reprisals suffered by the Czechs for his killing. The film is based on the book HHhH which I read a while ago and found, like the film, both interesting and disturbing. The acting is first class, Stephen Graham giving a terrific cameo as Heinrich Himmler is a revelation
It was okay - the best thing about it was the performance of Millicent Simmonds. A bit too formulaic after the first film.
I thought it was really disappointing. Aliens that can’t swim . What nonsense
They'll have learnt how to by Part 3.
Part 3 would be the aliens that sent the aliens to clear the indigenous lifeforms away turning up, expect a cleared planet but walking into the human race ready to kick ass.
Tomorrow War is awful but I had fun watching it. It ‘homages’ almost every half-decent sci-if movie of the last 40 years and not in a particularly clever way. It mostly reminded me how good Edge Of Tomorrow is.
What struck me the most the wavering tone. It seemed tongue in cheek at times, especially with the guy out of Veep playing the guy out of Veep (who is genuinely very funny). I can certainly see why it went straight to streaming.

I think it was enjoyable, but yeah never really that serious... It's like they couldn't decide whether to go comical or serious then totally bottled the serious option.

The scene where Sam Richardson shouts “Shit , Shit , Shit , Shit etc” while being being attacked by aliens is so terrible that it made me angry . I agree , he was playing the same character from Veep.
I watched Blood Diamond for the first time last week. Had had big blockbuster feel about it. Thought it was excellent.
Blood Diamond is almost the complete film, excellent story, has a heart, fair bit of action and Di Caprio doing a Rhodesian accent that starts hilariously bad and gets really good by the final act
I've watched a couple of films on prime recently
The Tomorrow War
I enjoyed it, absolute nonsense but it was fun the leads were all formulaic and I like Chris Pratt even of JK Simmons who I also like gets all the best lines. The film definitely doesn't take itself seriously
Really enjoyed it. Not an Avengers/Capt America type movie, Natasha is a trained assassin after all, but there are super hero/super powered elements to it, elements of Bond/Bourne, a fair bit of emotional pull behind her and her sister’s story. No convoluted plot, a pretty straight on back story with tons of action, including chases and of course fight scenes.
Florence Pugh (Yelena) was the stand our character/performance for me and David Harbour’s Red Guardian was pretty amusing throughout.
My only small gripe is that a scene or two could have been edited down a bit to get to approx 2 hour movie. My kids thought the same a few scenes were too slow/drawn out.
I featured in an early scene when they landed in Cuba and it all gets a bit tense (no spoilers), which was a fab few days filming alongside Harbour, Winston and Weisz.

Interesting take on Alien's 👽 trying to wipe out humanity.
Stars the beautiful Yvonne Strahkovski and Jasmine Mathews, but they're just supporting Chris Pratt.
It's got a bit of a Chris Pratt in Jurassic Park, but with Aliens feel to it. And a touch of time travel.
I think 👽👽👽👽 /5 is fair. I enjoyed it.
A Danish film about losing your way in middle age and the importance of friendship. Shows how central drinking is to Danish culture.
Very funny in places and some really good acting. Ultimately shows how everyone has to muddle along. I really enjoyed watching it.
Won the Oscar for the best foreign film.
8/10
Absolute drivel.
If you've seen previous ones, why not watch all before the 9th.
If not why start at 9?!
I wouldn’t bother if I was you .
Know it sounds like a boy's week in Falaraki, but it's actually a really good family flick.
