The Official JKB What Was The Last Film You Watched...

[Simo]

Bad Boys - Had never seen it but enjoyable watch. A few cheesy/funny lines, easy to follow if a bit ridiculous and decent action shots and explosions etc especially given it must be 20+ years old. 8/10 

[Jambos_1874]

American History X. A solid 8/10. Superb film with fantastic acting and a brilliant performance from Edward Norton. I was shocked yo learn how little it grossed at the box office.

[1971fozzy]

Leon - ages since I watched it but recently bought the 4K disc and it’s such a great film. Gary Oldman is stark raving bonkers in it. Superb stuff and the 4K is a huge upgrade in PQ from the bluray 

[Harry Potter]

Watched The Prodigy on netflix last night, not too bad, bit too gory for me though.

[rudi must stay]

Project Power

 

Very good Netflix film 

 

7.5/10

[Shanks said no]

The Peanut Butter Falcon

 

9/10 for originality

 

Very unusual path for Hollywood to go down as it tells the story of a lad with Down’s syndrome. Has made an unlikely star of Zack Gottsagen.

 

Although I was cynical when she put it on, as Mrs F is forever watching Undateables etc, it kept us engrossed, including our son, right until the end.

 

Strongly recommend

Johnny English Strikes Again with Rowan Atkinson.

 

I've no idea how I managed to watch it all the way through.  It was awful.

 

 

[Muppetboy]

Watched the apostle on Netflix. Had really high hopes after 10 mins but it didn’t live up to that early promise. 6/10

[Ron Burgundy]

Watched Nil by Mouth last night. First saw it over 20 years ago and it's still as powerful now.

To think there are thousands of people who's lives are actually like that is quite sad.

[Hector Riva]

Watched last night Yesterday 8/10 and Marvellous as recommended on here 9/10 even my wife liked it. 

[luckyBatistuta]

Just turned off Project Power...what a load of shite, couldn’t watch any more.

Just saw this, gobsmacked. Everybody in the house thought it was garbage, so we turned it off. Acting was awful.

I watched a film Called Snowtown- Australian film based on the true story of Australia' biggest serial killer

 

He is like that Stinson hunter bloke who gets a list of known Pedophiles except he goes a little further than embarrassing them on his I-Phone

 

It's a cross between Animal Kingdom and Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer

 

Warning i found out about it from a bloke talking about the most disturbing films he has ever seen so it's not your average film

 

Very well made though it's not torture porn in fact you don't see a lot it's more implied

Had this on in the backround doing stuff. Seemed an upbeat and entertaining film, David Oweluwo put in a good shift. Don't ask me the plot

 

7/10

Dunkirk

 

Time has been very kind to this film in my opinion just something about Nolan for me, he is the man

I couldn't get through that one, i think it's the ultimate 

 

Salo is another one but that one has a bit of  'poignant message' the Director was murdered just after release

It is. Supposedly it's not at all how it looks and is actually a really good film but the initial Netflix marketing just was obviously targeting their American viewers. This is the real poster which was used until Netflix got their hands on it. 

 

 

No such thing as bad publicity I guess. 

[Ray Gin]

I refuse to believe that a movie about twerking 11 year olds is a really good film.

Agree - wasn't overly impressed with Project Power.

 

Watched Everest (2015) on Film 4 this week. Oldish film but really good. Top actors and gripping film.

9/10 (apologies if covered already).

A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.

 

Meh, but I'm told that I'm in a minority.  Apparently it's grrrreat film!   Good acting by Cooper, for sure.

Massive Box office returns doesn’t always equate to quality films I feel . It’s a brilliant film

I thought it was pretty good . Certainly better than the dire Streisand version but not as good as the garland version

I thought it was average . Still stunned he won best actor for it ? What were they thinking ? It also glossed over his sexuality and his party lifestyle . It could have been made by Disney . I found “ Rocket man “ was far better . 

[JudyJudyJudy]

“ brute force “ 1946 film with the great Burt Lancaster . Really good prison drama .     Lancaster had a great screen presence .   I also watched “ Spartacus “ for the first time . It was great apart from a fairly wooden performance from Kirk Douglas but a brilliant performance from Laurence Olivier . It’s great to contrast their acting styles . Charles Laughton was also great in it .                                           Also watched “ Judy “ about the last year of Judys life . It was ok but left a lot out about this time and was a bit saccharine diluting the mess she was in towards the end of her life . However Zellweger really caught the Essence of Judy , her warmth , humour and compassion . I’ve been lucky to see both her daughters in concert and both are certainly chips off the old block .

Unless you are a teenage girl then you won't love this. Basically little miss nice meets boy with tats at college and they fall in love. Unfortunately a sequel is being/has been made. Mrs F made me keep it on.

 

English boy is one of the Fiennes family.

After a comet releases a mysterious virus that begins to kill all the women in the world, a young couple hides out in their over-sterilized apartment trying to fight for their lives. What a load of tripe, only kept it on last night so I could watch the boxing on my laptop.

Howards Way - story of Howard Kendall years at Everton. Really enjoyed it.

 

Busby - Film about Sir Matt Busby at Man U, also really good.

 

The Rise of Jordan B Peterson - Didn't know that much about the guy but I'd love him to sign up to Kickback.

[Carl Fredrickson]

Took the kids to the cinema for the first time in months on Friday to see Jurassic Park. A film both of them love but they are too young to have seen it on the big screen. It is a film that I have seen lots but the big screen makes it so much better. 7/10

 

Disney+ is a favourite in our house. 

 

The One and Only Ivan was a decent watch. Kids will love it. I thought it was ok but it was inspired by a true story that got me looking on Google for it. Kids will give it 9/10, I thought it was 7/10

 

Magic Camp. Another one that kids will like. A few funny bits but very much a Disney formulated film. 

[Ray Gin]

Raman Raghav 2.0

7/10

Indian thriller on Amazon Prime about a deranged man with a penchant for caving people's skulls in, who models himself on a notorious serial killer from the 60s. 

[rudi must stay]

Ghost In The Shell

 

Really slick film. Great to look at, easy to follow story. It has its weaknesses but about half way through it hits some form and becomes the film I'd hoped.

I was swithering between a 7 and an 8 but it is a film that we watch A LOT so it may be that familiarity caused me to mark it down. 

 

Todays film was Unhinged. Booked a ticket without knowing what it was about (desperate to get out today). Russell Crowe is the big name in it and I would liken it to a cross between Fallen Down & Carrie but without the humour and a lot more violence. 

Its predictability means it gets a 5/10

[ri Alban]

Gravity, a bit shite and by feck way over the top. Great CGI, tho. 

 

[William H. Bonney]

Host. 
 8/10

I watched this on shudder, an amazon prime Channel. 
 

six friends take part in a seance on zoom. 
It’s less than an hour long but it’s Very good. Easily the most effective horror I’ve seem in a good while. 
 

 

[Tazio]

Wonderful Losers. 
Documentary on Amazon about racing cyclists. Not the glamorous ones, the domestiques or gragarios who are in the team to support the leaders. Great as there was no real voice over just the stories of the riders. Non cycling fans don’t realise just how hard these riders are, amazing footage from inside the doctors car of riders getting patched up as they ride holding onto the door of a car at 30mph getting fed painkillers so they can keep going. One amazing bit of footage of a rider getting back on after a crash clearly with a broken collarbone and riding the rest of the stage one handed. 
10/10 if you’re a cycling fan

8/10 if you’re not just to see what they go through and get an insight to a strange world.
