Greenland - utter shite.

 

Plus, Gérard is a dick

Snakes On A Plane is on Netflix. Watched it last night. Awful acting, scrip is poor and it isnt the best produced. The view through the snakes eyes is laughable. 

 

Having said that, I loved it. So silly and stupid but very watchable.

Wrong turn(2020) the first one had flaws,but I thought it was decent. This actually starts well and is quite menacing in tone but then it just goes south in a big way. 3/10

News of the World (Netflix) 

7.5/10

Enjoyed this. Good turns by Hanks and the wee lassie.

It’s not his best, but still another top performance from him. Wee lassie was very good.

I’m watching Framing Britney Spears just now. If you didn’t already intensely dislike the media and paparazzi watch this. Some people are absolute scum. People totally aware of what they were doing to her continuing to harass her as if she isn’t even a person.

Going to have to be some incredible level of scum to be worse than those in the above movie. I’ll try and get a watch of the Britney one after this👍

A very enjoyable watch. Hard to like any of the characters but compulsive viewing.

Sunset Song. 8/10

One of my favourite Scottish books and a really enjoyable film with top performances

Posted

A walk among the Tombstones, 2014, Netflix, Liam Neeson stars, 6/10.

Lost Girls

 

A mother searches for her missing daughter. Better than your usual Netflix films I thought, it kept my attention and has an above average performance from Amy Ryan (The US Office)

 

7/10

Her

 

Weird premise but I found the film riveting. Joaquin Phoenix is excellent and the movie plods along at a good pace with good characters and good dialogue. It was a nice change from the miserable stuff on Netflix and Amazon

 

10/10

watched this the other night. Horrendous what that girl had to put up with. Tragic .  
never understood why folk want to be famous when you look at what it can do to you. What a hellish life having all the paparazzi crowd you like that every single day. Hope she recovers but very sad

Da 5 Bloods

 

Absolutely brilliant film. Great acting, great music, well edited, what you expect from in my opinion a genius of a filmmaker Spike Lee

 

10/10

Yet another excellent recommendation rudi, thank you

 

I Care a Lot

 

10/10

 

A rare perfect score but 3 days later this film and the concept behind it is still in my head. Rosamund Pike is wonderfully callous as she plays a legal guardian and has rightly been nominated for a Golden Globe. An intelligent film that shocks and amuses at the same time. Suberb.

It’s very odd, the IMDB reviews are either scathing or showering praise on it. Obviously quite a polarising film.

Da 5 Bloods

 

7/10

 

OK but very long, 2 1/2 hours. Found parts of it very interesting, black US soldiers in Vietnam war and their return many years later. Liked that they used the same actors flashing back and didn't try to make them younger, easier to follow. However it was way too far fetched and frankly ridiculous in places.

Pelé on Netflix, pretty much what you title promises, a documentary about the man himself. Worth a watch if you enjoy football history and seeing some great footage and interviews with legends on borrowed time.

It was an average horror film I agree but I liked the two main characters, which made the ending more horrific. I was physically affected by it. 😐

Really? The ending divided me a bit. It was unexpected and very anxiety inducing definitely. Kennedy was really good in this

Someone I know watched it and didn't like the ending. It still gives me the heebiejeebies though. 😀

Greenland. Easy to watch action nonsense with Gérard Butler. 

 

Some tense scenes when the panic sets in. 

 

6.5/10 (Amazon Prime) 

 

Same score from me. Decent as far as disaster movies go. First half was better. 

 

Butler's accent was all over the place at the start. Scottish one sentence. American the next. Then kinda Irish before slipping back to sounding mostly Scottish for the remainder.

I think I might have missed out on this movie if it hadn’t been recommended by you rudi. So glad you did, as I thought it was a cracking watch.👏

Bohemian Rhapsody (Amazon Prime)

6/10

A bit bland. Not enough debauchery and too much Live Aid at the end.

I'm a Queen fan, got a painting of Freddie and everything. The musical performances were impressive but the film was basically pretty shit.

Capone

 

I thought this was very good. Kept my interest and kept me thinking and Tom Hardy is outrageously good, what a talented actor

 

9/10

Great guy, and a good actor at times. Just not what they say he is. 

Incidentally, my niece and her man are good friends with Tom. He trained him for some film he was in. Can't mind. But he was a Marine at the time, pre SBS(I think).

Both pretty boys that just mumble their way through films. To be fair to Gosling he’s a lot more versatile. Hardy hasn’t really impressed me in much I’ve seen him in.

Yes. Good, but not great. 

 

RocknRolla is his best film.

The Mauritanian

 

Saw this in the Glasgow film festival. Google it you can buy all the films for £10

 

Exceptional film, great characters, great script. And I'll be looking out for Tahar Rahim who is brilliant in every scene

 

10/10
