luckyBatistuta Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Went to see Bumblebee yesterday, brilliant movie. Yes John Cenas character and acting are corny, but it’s meant to be. Loved it...9/10 Quote
luckyBatistuta Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Green Book, Watched this last night after a mates recommendation. It’s based on a true story and is a cracking movie. So glad he recommended it to me, as I think it would have been a movie that slipped me by. It really is a good movie, you’ll not be disappoin. 9/10 Quote
Dawnrazor Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 The Meg. Shite... Absolutely Shite... Utterly Utterly Utterly Shite??? 0/10,??? Quote

Carl Fredrickson Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 The Favourite. Really enjoyed it. Olivia Coleman is excellent in it. Thought the ending was a bit disappointing 8/10 Quote

Yes she was as was Emma Stone. Agree with your score Quote
luckyBatistuta Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 American Hangman, Couldn’t stop watching it, just to see how it all played out, but at the end of it all, it was just an ok 6.5/10 Quote

Yeah i know what u mean. I had limitless card for Cineworld and I cancelled it when I reached my nadir of going to see a film with Zac Efron in it...!! Just to use my card. The card always seems a good idea if willing to just go see anything. Quote
JudyJudyJudy Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I saw " Stan and Ollie " today. Its outstanding. Coogan and Reilly were so believable as them. In their mannerism, body language and their comedy routines. Its a really beautiful and moving tribute to them and Id highly recommend it. As well as being very funny it explored their relationship quite accurately and I had tears in my eyes at the end in between the laughs. I am gobsmacked their neither actor have been considered in the awards season. Just cant fathom it. 8/10 Quote

Reilly was excellent, as was Coogan. 8/10 from me too. Afternoon off so I also watched Spiderman: Spiderverse. Excellent 8/10. A good afternoon spent in the cinema! Quote
Carl Fredrickson Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I dont work Mondays and this week I have a free day once I drop the kids off at school. Tempted to go for a double bill of Stan & Ollie and the Upside. Quote
Thommo414 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Finished work and went to see Stan and Ollie. First film in what must be years that I've not checked my phone or the time once. Completely hooked from the first shot to the last. Terrific movie! Quote

Coogan I believe got a bafta nomination but I might be off on that one. More award bait roles will unfortunately overshadow these two however Quote

More award bait roles will unfortunately overshadow these two however Yes I did check what awards they had been nominated for, Not that many as such . No " New York Critics" or other such prestigious awards. Yea Coogan has the British Bafta Nomination but what happened to Reilly? They are equally as good. I think this year as you say more " awards bait" performances are saturating the market ( Bradly Cooper, Christian Bale, Rami Malek et al) whether they are better than Coogan or Reilly who knows. Im always more amazed who hasn't won an Oscar anyway. Its never the greatest barometer of acting talent at times as its usually a popularity contest, or someone wins for sentimental reasons and usually due to a film having big box office too . Thais why I think Malek will walk away with the Best actor. Those who haven't won a competitive Oscar are an incredible group., Garbo, Deborah Kerr, Chaplin, Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck er al. Quote
Jambojay84 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I’ve always thought JCR is an underrated actor, never been keen on Coogan but might give their new one a watch. Also JCR fans watch criminal, it’s a bit older but a great watch with a very good cast including Maggie Gyllenhall and Diego Luna and a belter of a twist at the end Quote

He has often had rave reviews for his performances i believe. Seems he is always the bridesmaid never the bride judging my nominations he has had. His time will come. . Quote
Dagger Is Back Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Leave No Trace 8/10 Story of a young girl and her Dad who live off the grid. He suffers from PTSD and the story is about their lives off the grid and how they grow apart and realise they need different things Quote
@VladMagic Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Watched "The Shape of Water" last night with Mrs Vlad Magic. Strange strange film. We both had similar comments on it. It's like "Splash" only on acid? Random acts of female nudity and self pleasure mixed in with a surreal love story between fish man and mute woman? I really cant describe it any other way? Anyone else seen it able to give a better summary? Quote

Sorry LB I’m not disagreeing with any of that, but there is something I just love about Statham films. You know what you’re going to get when you sit down, just roll with it. Love the Crank movies, but Meg and The Mechanic are definitely his poorest. On 12/01/2019 at 23:48, VladMagic said: Watched "The Shape of Water" last night with Mrs Vlad Magic. Strange strange film.

Told folk at work I was going to see it tonight and they said it got poor reviews. I really enjoyed it. Lots of laughs but also lots of talking points and things to think about. 7/10 (closer to an 8 than a 6) Glass and Vice are on my list (along with Mary Queen of Scots). Probably see at least one of them on Monday. Good time of year to have limitless! Quote

I have been looking into this but the only Cineworld or Odeon are miles away from me, the only 2 real close ones to me are Showcase in Coatbridge and Vue at the Fort and neither offers limitless offer which is a pain in the hoop. Thanks for the review will go so this now Saturday or Sunday. Cheers Quote

Thanks Watched Vice the other day and it’s a very good movie, Bale is brilliant in it. With that being said I think McKay should stick to W.Ferrell comedies. The film does get the heart rate up similar to the Big Short though ?? Quote

robbo1874 Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Watched the Quincy Jones doc on Netflix. Loved it. What a man! Is give it a 9/10 but I like his productions anyway so I'm not sure how it would go for someone who isn't necessarily a fan. Quote

Disser Pointon Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Mary queen of Scots. 8/10. Both female parts played very well if a little historically inaccurate. Have to say it left me thinking that Mary was a bit gobby and brought a lot of it on herself! Quote
Ray Gin Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Suspiria 6.5/10 Weird horror about a dance school ran by witches. The ending in particular is mental. Quote
JudyJudyJudy Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I watched " A twelve year night" last night on Netflix. Its a stunning film about 3 " political agitators" who are then taken prisoner / hostage for 12 years. in Uruguay . Its harrowing stuff at times but ultimately uplifting . It shows how they were dehumanised and degraded in an attempt to break their spirit in the hope they go mad or kill themselves. Its excellent. One of those films we i was hooked right from the start. 8/10 On the other hand before I saw the above , i attempted to watch " Winchester" with the great Helen Mirren. I gave it 30 mins and binned it. Pile of crap. Quote

rudi must stay Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Mary Queen of Scots Visually strong. But I felt it dragged infact I was surprised to even see the credits. But there is some good acting and it does flow quite well most of the time. Better than I expected 7/10 Edited January 21, 2019 by rudi must stay Quote
