    Got round to watching Train Dreams.

    Extremely depressing and I got it, but there’s only so much I can watch of a man chopping wood.

    Watched Heist 101 yesterday enjoyable if formulaic robbery romp. Halle Berry was good

    Really enjoyed 28 Years Later : Bone Temple . Probably the best film I’ve seen this year but it helps to watch it in IMAX if you can .

    It is an excellent film. Like you say, mental, a brilliant and creative film. Shat myself fewer times than I did in the others but Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell were brilliant 

    Decent soundtrack too

    Very special evening attending the first night of Paul McCartney documentary Man on the Run at a packed Campbeltown Picture House by the Mull of Kintyre. Plenty in the cinema who had bit parts in the film. Macca himself didn’t attend but he sent the producer.

    Saw the Elvis EPiC film in IMAX last night.

    for diehards like me a lot of it is recognizable material and dialogue, but it has been enhanced and improved with a clarity that is incredible, my mind was blown at how video and dvd material I have been watching and listening too for 45+ years has been improved.
    There are some small snippets of new stuff taken from the outtakes and cutting room floor reels from the 1970 That’s The Way It Is and 1972 Elvis On Tour films that Baz Luhrmann found when researching the Austin Butler biopic film.

    The soundtrack that goes with it has been treated with respect as well and I personally like a lot of it and I have a very critical ear for it as a self confessed Elvis nerd.

    Even if your not a big Elvis fan, but a music fan in general, get along and see it on the biggest screen you can with the best sound system offering, I don’t believe you will be disappointed, and you may learn some stuff you never knew about the man and his great personality and love of all types of music (he did more than blue suede shoes & jailhouse rock you know)

    Too many bang average movies coming out this last year. Honestly would struggle to give any a 5+/10

    Watched Hamnet last night . Looked great and the acting was good but I just don’t get Shakespeare so it left me cold .

    Just seen CRIME 101 - heist movie starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Barry Keoghan.

    A really good watch - well paced with some decent characters. From the director who made 'American Animals' which was another excellent crime drama.

    Wasteman. 

    I guess you’d call it a gritty drama. Good watch about prison and drugs. Zipped along

    'I Swear' will be available on Netflix from 10th March. If you haven't seen it I'd recommend you watch it - a film about the life of John Davidson who lives with Tourettes.

    The performance of Robert Aramayo in the main role is amazing. A very moving film.

    BRILLIANT film. My one highly rated film of the year. Great acting, well paced and eye opening.

    I was well pleased that Robert Aramayo won Best Actor at the BAFTAs, seeing off the two 'Hollywood stars', Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Aramayo also won the EE BAFTA Rising Star Award (voted for by the public), while
    I Swear also picked up the BAFTA for Casting.

    I also loved his dad's reaction - that is one proud dad !

    The History of Sound. 
    Definitely not a film for me on paper but sometimes we have to keep the missus happy eh. Beautifully shot, superb foley and great score. Strong performances too.

    The new ‘Dracula’ on Prime is alright. I actually preferred it to the recent Nosferatu. It’s ridiculous but it doesn’t take itself seriously and even has some good comedic timing in it. Plus is got Christoph Waltz in, who’s great.

    Christoph Waltz is in the new Frankenstein on Netflix too, does he just need a new, new, mummy to complete the set?

    Mothers Prude -Martin Clunes and James Buckley (amongst others). 

    Typical sentimental pleasant British film. 

    Easy 90 min watch. Won’t win any awards but perfectly decent watch which will inevitably find itself on TV as a holiday viewing type film at some point.

    Sinners
    I agreed with everyone that its record number of nominations is a bit OTT, but frankly it was still a great film. Good acting, excellent plot and kept me involved. The ending was good, but even better was the little extra scene after the credits, which on its own took it into the 'great' category for me.
    I will admit though I stuck on the subtitles as the dialogue defeated me at times.

    Watched last of the Best Picture nominees this evening. My totally subjective ratings are:

    Sinners 10/10
    Sentimental Value 9/10
    Frankenstein 8/10
    Bugonia 8/10
    Marty Supreme 8/10
    One Battle After Another 7/10
    Hamnet 6/10
    F1 5/10
    Train Dreams 4/10
    The Secret Agent 3/10

    I know Train Dreams has a lot of fans but its attempted emotional manipulation rang entirely hollow. Indulgently self pitying with endless aching violin strings. Felt like it was directed by an EMO.

    The Secret Agent I saw a couple of weeks back and I'm clueless as to how it makes a Best picture list even with the bloated ten contenders these days (hello F1). A badly directed film.

    The others I can make a case for and it's take your pick as to what you enjoy. Sinners stood out for me this year. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be hard to beat for Best Picture. Some pretty reasonable contenders but it remains my pick. Bugonia was the most ambitious film and it delivered to be fair.

    Caught up with I Swear tonight. V v good. Does make me cross about all the BAFTA fuss when he shouted out inappropriately- you’d swear no-one there had actually watched the film!

    My local cinema has been showing all the Oscar best picture films over the past week, so finally was able to watch One Battle After Another. 

    I loved Sinners, but for me, One Battle is easily film of the year. One of the best I've watched for years. Loved that the storyline and acting allowed for a laidback feel yet somehow had you on edge of your seat too. 

    Superb performances from everybody on screen. Was left wanting more screen time for Teyana Taylor and Benicio del Toro though.

    I see what you did there. 
    I thought exactly the same thing. You'd hope the reaction might have been a bit more understanding. The BBC made a hash of what went out, mind you.

    Yup such a good character in the film

    A voice of dissent about Sinners. I thought it totally failed as a 'horror' film - From Dusk To Dawn, which is basically the same setting  works far better. As for all the "ooh, it's  a metaphor for racism" which I am sure is why Hollywood has given it so many nominations, the first half of the film makes the racism explicit  thus making the feeble vampire motif unnecessary.

    Thats the best critique of the film I've read yet. 

    For what its worth, I thought it was ok. Well shot, good dialogue, the singing and dancing was weird but well done. You have summed up how I felt at the end of it
