I see what you mean. maybe the film is a bit too Trainspotting for Americans. I don't think they do tragi-comedies. but if Mcdormand and Rockwell don't win the Academy can g. T.

rudi must stay Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The Post I found this movie slow and dull in the main, there are of course some good scenes. Tom Hanks tries his best and I would have given at least an Oscar Nomination 6/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rab87 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Downsizing 4/10 The plot had so much promise, and after a decent enough first half hour, it all goes to pot after that. For most of the film, you could not even tell they were downsized. Do not waste your time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had potential and a couple of amusing moments but loses it's way early, goes on too long and feels a bit "preachy". 4/10 - Pretty pish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rudi must stay Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Battle of the Sexes A movie all about the unlikely tennis match between Billy Jean King and ex world number 1 Bobby Riggs. This is the best movie I've seen in quite some time, Stone is very good as Billy Jean King and Steve Carell does as only he can being entertaining but at the same time putting in a very good acting performance and really nailing the character, Andrea Riseborough is excellent too. Really everyone in the movie is good 10/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carl Fredrickson Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Early Man. Took the kids to see it this morning. I love Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run but Early Man was a bit of a disappointment. It didnt have a strong story line and at no point did I laugh. The kids enjoyed it, they said 8/10 but I would give it 3/10 Saw Fernando last week, so bad I wouldnt give it a score. I need go get out and see some movies for grown ups.

LeftBack Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just watching King of Comedy for the first time. De Niro's performance is as unsettling as any of his. Very underated film imo and certainly worth watching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

luckyBatistuta Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Mom and Dad Definitely one of the worst films I’ve ever watched. It’s about parents everywhere, who all suddenly want to kill there children. I’ve never been a fan of Nicholas Cage, but this is a whole new level for him, his acting performance is ridiculously bad. It’s a seriously bad movie, don’t do it 0/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw him in one the other day called Snake Eyes, didn't see it all but I was impressed with his performance fair play to him he really goes for it, and he's quite good in an absolutely mad film called Bad Lieutenant Edited February 2, 2018 by rudi must stay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went tonight as I had heard good things from folk on Facebook and the trailer looked good when I went to see Star Wars. I never realised it was a musical. That said it was pretty decent. 7/10 The Greatest Showman 8/10 A real bravura performance. A film that just lands on the senses and its story is a side show to being a show. It is a feel good story but stands on its own. There are some very attractive performances notably Zendaya and (probably) Zac Efron and others. It is a musical but as well the stock songs (and Hugh Jackman does sing! which takes a bit of getting used to) there are some brilliant singing performances. The film it reminded me of was Moulin Rouge. While it won't be everyone's taste I found it highly enjoyable and I thank the quoted review for encouraging me to see it.
