Hello all, sorry I've been away so long! I've been watching a lot of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn movies of late. They're funny, sweet, crazy and altogether just lovely. Philadelphia Story is great, naturally, but I also fell head over heels for 'Holiday', which is a warm, deeply humanistic and surprisingly nuanced film - and frequently funny with it. Everybody watch more Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn.

Late to the party but I enjoyed the 2012 Keith Urban “Dredd” last night. Much better than the Stallone one. Gritty and very violent. Some nice nods to other characters in the graffiti. Anyone got any Slo-Mo?


They really need to make a sequel. Urban’s Dredd is great.

Yes to both Game Night and Dredd.

I only gave Game Night a chance because of Ozarks but really enjoyed it.

Dredd needs to come out again to help run in a new set of speakers.

Yeah, we went to see Game Night at the cinema just because I had Unlimited at the time (and Meerkat Movies too) and it was so much better than I expected it to be.

Watched News of the World on Saturday, the new Tom Hanks movie, directed by Paul Greengrass.

After finding it a touch yawnsome initially (old grizzled man takes vulnerable child under their wing and they must grow to get used to one another's company), it developed into something gripping and intense.

It's set after the American Civil War and really captures the sense of a fractured country, while Mr Hanks travels around reading the news to townspeople.

There are traces of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Blood Meridian, the latter especially when they arrive in a lawless town that reeks of death.

And some truly excellent set-pieces.

Well worth two hours of your time.

Sorry, but you vastly oversold this. It has hints of those Cormac McCarthy novels but this is a strictly rated 12 version that doesn’t have much in the way of high drama.

It was alright, I guess, but it should have been rated 18 and darker for my tastes to really get under the skin.

Plus the CG on the sandstorm was weak as piss and the bit that follows it made me roll my eyes.

Watched Wonder Woman 84.

How can DC get stuff so wrong and Marvel get it so right?

Not even a patch on the first film. The ending seemed so so rushed.

I did like all the 80s stuff but that was about it.

Ah, that's a fair cop. I was vague about my use of those references, and while I do feel things in this film evoked memories of Cormac McCarthy, but you would have come away disappointed expecting the same level of horror. Hold my hands up to that.

But I did feel pretty stressed throughout the film, as they passed through trial after trial. On a gore front, 12 is fair, but I found much of it pretty anxiety inducing.

I'm watching an old 1941 movie. It's brilliant. It revolves around a deal a humble New England 19th century farmer makes with the devil for seven years good luck in exchange for his soul. As I say it's genuinely brilliant, the only issue is I'm spooked as the devil has just turned to me the viewer and proudly practically fourth-wall-breakingly announced that the contract has hereby been signed April the 7th and emblazoned the date in flaming letters on a tree-trunk. I don't know if it's half this bottle of rioja I've been drinking but man I'm spooked...

Anyway, it's 'The Devil & Daniel Webster' and it's on Amazon Prime to rent. I can recommend very strongly, it's bravura film-making and although fun kind of surprisingly creepy. I think a Simpson's Treehouse of Horror might have riffed on it something fierce too.

I am up to chapter 6, my goodness it is a lot better than the 2017 version.

I really enjoyed this. I will try and watch it again before my now free trail ends.

To manage your expectations: It's 90 mins of loosely linked candid camera sketches with the coffee guy from Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23 in. A lot is massively puerile

Invisible man (2020)

We really liked this take on IM. Is the lead crazy? who was gaslighting who.

Really worth a watch.

Just watched Birds of Prey. (Might as well use the free trial of NOW)

It was really quite good. Some laugh out bits. A hell of a lot better than Suicide Squad.

Yeah. It's a ludicrous film, but really quite entertaining.

Finally got around to watching this last night.

Ludicous? Yes.

Entertaining? I didn't think so.

Funny? Not that I noticed.

Worth watching? Nah.

If you have Amazon Prime, Sound of Metal is worth a watch.

Quote:
Metal drummer Ruben begins to lose his hearing. When a doctor tells him his condition will worsen, he thinks his career and life is over. His girlfriend Lou checks the former addict into a rehab for the deaf hoping it will prevent a relapse and help him adapt to his new life. After being welcomed and accepted just as he is, Ruben must choose between his new normal and the life he once knew.


It's a little too long at just over two hours, but I enjoyed it.

Netflix No. 1 film in the UK is Melissa McCarthy’s new vehicle Thunder Force. It’s a spoof of sorts of superhero films. I watched 40 minutes which was 40 minutes too much. It’s fucking shambolic.

The 3rd in the series, a sequel that never needed to be made. Glad I watched it for free...

Watched this last night and heartily agree. Keaton's Kroc veers from self-declared messiah to cold-hearted businessman and back with ease, often toying with the viewer to make them unsure if they should feel sympathy for the McDonald brothers or scorn them for their lack of faith.

It was magic. Absolutely guileless vim to so much of the animation, where you saw the daughter's drawings burst through into the real world.

Definitely a finely-tuned vehicle for crunching dads in the nads.

But on the whole, a joyous thing.

I enjoyed it too, but I’m kinda sick of Seth Rogan and his voice. It didn’t fit the character as neatly as I’d have liked, probably due to his ubiquitousness and that we readily associate him with being a carefree stoner not some uptight dad who can’t work a computer. I wish they’d have gone with someone else not as recognisable. Still, the animation was toight and the Furby section was ace.

The voice was sort of familiar but I didn't know it was Seth Rogan so it seemed fine. I did recognise Olivia Colman, though.

I agree, I really enjoyed it, and so did my son. What a fab animation.

I wish they’d have gone with someone else not as recognisable. Still, the animation was toight and the Furby section was ace.

The voice was sort of familiar but I didn't know it was Seth Rogan so it seemed fine. I did recognise Olivia Colman, though.

It wasn't Seth. The voice of the dad was done by Danny McBride, who to be fair isn't a million miles away from Seth Rogan.

I enjoyed it too, but I’m kinda sick of Seth Rogan and his voice. It didn’t fit the character as neatly as I’d have liked, probably due to his ubiquitousness and that we readily associate him with being a carefree stoner not some uptight dad who can’t work a computer.

He's basically the poor man's version of seth Rogan, but they do sound quite different.

Still, he got us "Your Highness" which not only had Natalie Portman's bum in it, but contained the lines
"Sire! Surely the naked lady is a trap?"
"The only thing those tits will trap is my royal spray"

And this perfectly-delivered line:

Mitchells vs The Machines on Netflix is very good fun. Made my eyes water in some bits, though.


We watched this last night just to fill some time before Lego Masters US was on, and I thought it was great! So much silly fun, I loved it and laughed quite a lot.

Watched 'Love and Monsters' the night before, which I also found very entertaining but it did lose a lot of it's appeal once he got where he was going and then the story got pretty formulaic.
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Bad guys pretending to be good guys, vanquished by the hapless hero, love interest realises she does fancy him after all, and hero realises who the real important people are in his life
