JudyJudyJudy Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 " The happy Prince" with Rupert Everett. Its a film about the last years of Oscar Wilde in France and Italy after his time in prison after his famous trails in the last 1890s. Its a very moving and emotional film with top performances from the cast. Terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi must stay Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I Saw The Light Not a classic by any means, it plods along quite slowly. But I felt Tom Huddleston's attempt at Hank Williams was a good attempt, I felt like he was giving it his all. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I, Tonya - wasn’t expecting much of this but it was really good. Margot Robbie was tremendous. Ended up feeling really sorry for Tonya Harding though. 8/10 Good Time - wanted to see his last year but they couldn’t get a distribution deal so it’s now on Netflix. A robbery goes wrong and Robert Pattinson spends the night trying to get his mentally disabled brother out of jail, going from one disaster to another. Well worth watching. 8/10 Brawl In Cell Block 99 - same director as Bone Tomahawk. Vince Vaughan (who’s surprisingly good) gets blackmailed into doing a hit in jail. A proper B movie with some great violence but half an hour too long. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) 100 Streets Started watching this on netflix and expected very little as I'd heard absolutely nothing about it despite the strong cast. Really surprised: powerful movie, some scenes are genuinely shocking and it has some great performances. Idris Elba has IMO cracked acting, rare you even see a bad scenes from him and Ken Stott is great too which is of course nice to see, some talented young actors are in it as well that may go onto big things 8/10 Edited July 8, 2018 by rudi must stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the true story of an American historian accused of libel by a notorious Holocaust denier must prove in court that the Holocaust did occur.

This wasn't really a Denzil film for me, as he normally dominates the scenes but I personally thought Morgan Freeman was better as a supporting actor (Denzil won the Oscar for this) but on reflection Morgan won the Oscar the same year for best actor so no way they were going to give the 2 biggest Oscars to the same actor. Need to watch driving Miss Daisy as this is the movie Morgan won the Oscar for. What a year of acting from the big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Morgan (the actor, no offence to the poster on here) is a favourite of mine too.

I absolutely loved it and will watch again and again. So good. It's a vintage film for me to go back and watch a film I have missed in the late 80's early 90's but this one was superb!
