The Peanut Butter Falcon.

 

Shia Labeouf, Zack Gottasagen and a very attractive Dakota Johnson.

 

Interesting film all about a Down syndrome man who runs away with the dream of becoming a pro wrestler. Taken under the wing of a fisherman on the run from some nasties.

 

The film was apparently written completely for Zack after the team behind it discovered him some time earlier at a summer camp.

 

It’s very charming in places and does have some very funny moments. The bond between the 2 male leads requires no acting. You can tell they genuinely are mates which is lovely.

 

Plot is a bit wobbly at times and the ending is just stupid.

 

7 out of 10.

Boss Level

 

Fun action flick starring Frank Grillo (kingdom, Captain America) about a man that keeps reliving the same day of his death over and over (Groundhog day/Edge of tomorrow)

 

Lots of action with a good few laughs added in.

 

Also stars Mel Gibson and Naomi Watts

 

8/10

Rewatched Local Hero after a long long gap since the first watch.

 

Persuaded Mrs VM to watch it on my recommendation so no pressure.

 

What a gorgeous witty and charming film. New the basic plot from previous but it’s all about the characters and the fabulous acting performances that make the film.

 

The Mark Knopfler soundtrack brings a tear to the eye.

 

Its interesting watching a film now compared to say 30 years ago as you appreciate different aspects as you get older.

 

If you haven’t seen this dare I say it “classic” you won’t be disappointed 👍

It’s a great film. The legendary film critic Pauline Kael praised it to the hilt

“ Diego Maradona “

 

 It’s free on Channel 4 player . Very humble beginnings to being the greatest . Some moving bits about his family esp when he phoned his mum after winning the World Cup . He really lifted Napoli out of the bottom rung of Italian football and restored pride in the city . They were called the “ cholera   of Italy “by the Northern teams like Juventus and AC Milan .  And ofcourse some great football . What a life he led

A decent enough film, where there is a sick child but all isn't as it seems, has Paulson from AHS and keira allen i pretty much unknown actress both give solid performances, altho type of movie it is makes it obvious whats going to happen 6.5/10

Escape from Pretoria

7/10

 

True story of three political prisoners who attempt to escape from prison in South Africa in the late 1970s, starring Daniel Radcliffe, who is actually proving to be a very decent actor. I thought he was also good in "Jungle".

Mid90s

 

Jonah Hill's directing debut. I thought this was an excellent film with a great soundtrack. Certainly passed the time and the young skateboarders are great. On Netflix

 

7/10

My wife and I watched it together. As much as we laughed, I lost count of how many times we turned to each other and said this is absolute garbage🤪

Could have been great, it was a great idea. I thought Mel was good but the wee boy and the cringey 90's hit an stuff was horrendous.

Run, 7/10.  Sarah Paulson in a film about a mother caring for her premature baby who then grows up with what it seems are expected medical effects of her birth coming too early.

Maradona...a brilliant watch. The film highlights for me just how he ended up the way he did. Thrust into the spotlight away from his family at a very young and no support like they get nowadays. Everyone used and wanted a piece of him. I think anyone coming from his background in those times, would have went off the rails living in that environment. Still gutted he’s gone, a genius. 
 

10/10 for the number 10


RIP

Currently watching “Pitching Tents”

 

50 mins in and the signs are bad.

 

Its a crock of pish.

 

Unless you hear otherwise assume this pile of breast meat needs giblets shoved up its arse and served for Christmas.

I’ve actually switched this piece of shit off.

 

Never ever watch “Pitching Tents”

 

Its easily the worst film I have ever tried to watch.


1 from 10 and that’s 1 because it has a hint of fishing in it.

Mulan

 

 

Didn't expect to like it but I throughly enjoyed it. The girl that stars is a star in the making and is excellent, and there's a good story as well as that Disney magico only they do. One for the family but also if you're after something to watch. On Disney plus 

 

 

 

 

8/10

I just finished watching Jojo Rabbit a short while ago. 
I’m speechless, an absolute work of genius. One of those films you don’t want to watch anything after it finishes as you just want to sit and let it soak in. 
10/10.

Watched the devil all the time last night, good solid film basically about a young man devoted to protecting his family in a little town full of religous nutjobs and corruption, cracking cast and great acting

Thought it was really good as well. Very well made and the way they created such a sinister atmosphere really sucked you in.
