Shanks said no Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Jellyfish (on sky movies) 9/10 powerful and brutal portrayal of a family in Tory Britain. Had to check it wasn’t a Ken Loach film. Liv Hill is astonishing in it.

Vlad Magic Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 The Deer Hunter. 1978 Its available to rent on demand on Sky. In my opinion probably the greatest film ever made? If you haven’t seen it baring in mind it’s over 40 years old I strongly suggest you do. Cinematic and acting perfection. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The King Spoiler My extended review having now seen all of the film. Visually strong, I enjoyed Chalamat as King Henry V he puts in a very strong performance, as everyone knows he is one to watch, he is on fire in some scenes. Saying that Pattinson is comical and it makes the decision to make him the new Batman a questionable one for me 8/10 as another poster said is a fair score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Anna and the Apocalypse If I had known I was about to watch a Scottish zombie all singing and dancing musical comedy I wouldn't have believed it. It is utter nonsense but its redeeming feature was a fair bit of it is set in West Lothian, probably to save on the make up for the female parts. The highlight was the scenes shot around the vacant Freeport Shopping Village near Blackburn. Seeing Zombies there wasn't too surprising. 3/10 only for the location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovecraft Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Aquaman Felt a bit fishy about watching this as the trailers didn't do anything for me. Jumped the shark half way through for me when they stole a boat. A boat! The 2 main characters that live and swim super fast underwater stole a crappy old boat to travel. Some good action scenes in it, but ultimately it was a damp squid. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just finished the Joker, what a film. Very uncomfortable watch really, but it does give you a fascinating insight in to the mind of someone who is mentally unstable. I can’t see how anyone is going to better that performance and deny Joaquin an Oscar for best actor, absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Spent an afternoon at Odeon yesterday and saw 2 films. Medway - very good film about the battle of Medway not long after Pearl Harbour. A couple of lines didnt sit well with me in that they veered towards a kind of "USA, USA, USA!" kind of nationalistic stuff. A far, far better film than the awful Pearl Harbour. Read a bit about the battle last night and the film is a decent portrayal of events (ready to be shot down for saying that) 7/10 The Good Liar - the opening half hour or so was good and i thought upto that point it was decent but then things changed and it really ended up quite disappointing. Promised much but failed to deliver 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I saw " The Good liar" today. It was disappointing. There were too many plot holes. Certain things didn't make sense, but I dont want to spoil it for others. Only positive was the fine acting from two of our great screen and stage actors Ian Mckellan and Helen Mirren.
