rudi must stay Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The Banshees Of Inisherin I must admit I am ABIT of a Farrell in really life so this film used to annoy me.

Muppetboy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Obviously not a film but watched the new Ricky Gervais special, armageddon. Very clever and funny too, I absolutely love extras and the office, but some of this is close to the bone and goes to uncomfortable places that personally doesn't sit well with me. He justifies the jokes in his own way, whether I agree is another matter tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a glamorous Anne hathaway enters Eileen's life and then infatuation ensues. Things take a dark turn. Enjoyed this film, excellent performances throughout.

rudi must stay Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Take The 10 Good comedy 6/10 Father Of The Year Decent as well 6/10 Carrie Pilby Genius who struggles to connect with people. The young actress starring put in a good shift 7/10 Once Upon A Time In Hollywood I've tried it before and have never been impressed with it. But I thought today I will sit and watch it. It has some scenes that raise it as a film. It's not Tarantino's best work but it's a return to form for him, as I didn't rate Hateful Eight, IMO ofcourse 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elljay Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Godzilla Minus 1 x a pretty good monster movie with involving human drama and some pointed political elements.

JudyJudyJudy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 “ Maestro” with Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan. Cooper plays Leonard Bernstein and Milligan his wife . The film explores his rise to fame as a conductor and his bi sexuality and how it impacted on his relationship with his wife . Both leads are really outstanding , particularly Mulligan. Shame the best actress award can’t be shared between her and the firm favourite Lily Gladstone as she is sensational in this film . Mind you the performance is the reward I feel . Only been one tie in Oscar history for best actress and both deserved it for very different performances . Katherine Hepburn in “ The lion in winter “ and Babs For “ Funny girl “ . Cooper faces probably one of the great best actor races too I feel . He might just pip passed Cillian Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Saltburn You have to be very confident in your film putting a maze in, straight out of The Shining. But Kubrick would have been proud to call Saltburn his own, it doesn't put a foot wrong it is engrossing and Barry Keoghan puts in a great confident performance. He is the future of acting, to be honest I prefer him to Chalamet he is picking tougher roles. Has to be 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
