Heather Graham makes funny things happen in my pants.

Me and Mrs Hearthly used to watch Austin Powers 2 loads when we were pilled up, and Mrs Hearthly would be like 'You fancy her', and I'd say 'Well of course I do' and she'd be like, 'Yeah so do I'.

Unfortunately the threesome I dreamed of never came to pass, for some reason.

Well, he was on a PT Anderson movie, which makes him instantly a respectable actor. Just look at the kind of actors that usually go into his movies: Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day Lewis, Joaquin Phoenix.....And Marky Mark.

But to be fair, that was a convincing performance.

Annihilation was pretty good. Some of the cgi was a smidge iffy but Natalie Portman was excellent and it was atmospheric and tense.


I very much enjoyed Annihilation up until the end where it became bizzaroclown nonsense horseshit.

Loving Vincent. Animation that is made up of paintings. Took me a little while to get used to the shimmering and what seemed like a lurch from close up to very unfocused wider view, but by the end I definitely felt the whole thing was a work of art. Over the credits they show some (I assume) of the original Van Gogh paintings from which they took characters (which explained the poses many of them were in initially) and I felt like a philistine for not knowing any of them already, but also very happy for such a quick guide. Story wise, it's about why/how he died. Apart from a little lull in the middle, that was enough to hold my interest throughout.

I really, really want to see this. I watched a short film on the making of it a while back, and oh my goodness.

I think the ‘shimmering’ of the individual oil frame scenes was dealt with in a similar way to how they worked with the hand-drawn frames of The Snowman, from what I understood of the animation.

Seems vaguely sensible. That said, I read the books and they’re different from that. I can give a less wanky précis of that if it helps.

Ready Player One is a visual feast. Decent story, decent enough acting (with what little of the real world we see) and with enough pop culture references to necessitate IMDb to buy another server just for its trivia page.

8/10.

It's not going to win any awards for its plot, and it's not exactly a "thinky" film - it's just a pure popcorn movie IMO but isn't necessarily any worse off for it.

I watched Annihilation. I thought it was quite good bar a couple of yawnsome plot points.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Hardass woman ties everyone up because she doesn’t know who to trust. Bleurgh. Somehow only those people who want to die are allowed to go wandering in the shimmer. Bleurgh. Self harming gal (who gets the bare minimum of dialogue) just disappears into/in to foilage. Bleurgh. None of the characters are particularly well fleshed out apart from Kiera Knightly. And some of the CGi is a bit dodgy. The 4 day mind wipe at the beginning is never revisited, explained or even has any impact on the film whatsoever. The exposition and, in particular, line about the shimmer refracting DNA made me pick up my phone. Bleurgh.


And that JJ Abrams was allowed to do multiple cameos as giant lens flares.

5/10

It just seems, from the trailer, to be a giant game of “Yes, I too can remember things from the past (that we have licenses to)”. With added Willy Wonka.

There is a lot of that, yes, but apart from a couple of setpieces they tend to be more incidental than full on "HEY, REMEMBER THIS?"

As R.I.P.D. was added to Netflix yesterday (or re-added, I'm not sure), I thought I'd give it a go. Enjoyable film, but I think it would have been better as a more adult film, rather than the cartoony violence that gave it a 12A instead.

An interesting mix of films added to Amazon Prime today. I've never seen Ben Hur or the first Blade film so I might give them a go, but I'm steering clear of Little Nicky - a friend of mine thought it was amazing and dragged me off to the cinema to watch it with him. I think it's safe to say we had different tastes as I thought it was complete rubbish.

5.3 on Imdb, 38 on Metacritic, starring Adam Sandler.

The first Blade is great, the sequels lost me a bit as they were mostly just Wesley Snipes carrying suitcases full of money around and not filling in his tax returns.

EDIT - Trivia fact, Blade is a film I imported on R1 DVD, for reasons I can't remember, I don't think it was cut in the UK, maybe I just wanted it early.

Does anyone remembers 3 90s TV Movies called Hornblower about the Napoleonic Wars?

Those films were shot on the village i grew up, so yesterday after feeling homesick i started watching the movies on youtube and it's even more awesome after all these years.

I couldn't work as an extra because of school exams, but many people i knew did, and it's amazing to watch a film and see so many familiar faces.

And i searched on IMDB by location and it happens that lots of other movies where shot there, including one James Bond movie (the one with George Lazemby, but it still counts). I have much more to watch when nostalgia hits me.

"Call me by your name" is pretty fantastic. Best film of the oscars thus far by a large margin. That kid can act.

Also, Michael Stuhlbarg is always great. He used to be the poor-man's Joaquin Phoenix. Now Joaquin Phoenix is the poor-man's Michael Stuhlbarg.

Roxanne Roxanne.

Being an enormous fan of electro and early rap I was very excited to see this coming last year. I went into it expecting Straight Outta Compton, but came out of the other end feeling pretty sad. I guess when you are 6 years old Queens and Brooklyn sound very exciting in rap music. Then when you see what it was actually like it's a bit of a shock. Whilst it was not the film I was expecting at all (it had hardly any music in it for example) it was still a fantastic watch. Very depressing, and she was down trodden pretty bloody badly. There should be more films like this.

Yes, those ones.

They were indeed series that went to be edited for TV movies. On youtube there's both versions.

There was one guy i knew that got the easiest money of his life (i think it was 500€) for doing a stunt that involved jumping from the mast of the ship to the water.

No depth to any of the characters, played for laughs in the wrong places, everyone is just so earnest and stupid, nobody does anything that feels a natural decision, or says anything that feels like a natural conversation.
