films

He started doing some decent/serious films a few years back - Argo and Gone Girl off the top of my head, but this latest looks like his earlier ****e.

Probably better behind the camera directing than in front of it.

 

Something about Mary 9/10

A classic and still ridiculously funny

 

He was good in Air as a smaller part and The Tender Bar. I agree on Argo and Gone Girl both decent.

 

Just checked.
I was 10 when that came out!!
Ffs!
Brilliant film.

 

I was a bit older

Matt Dillon steals it for me, "I still love those goofy bastards" but genuinely lol throughout.

 

You're first ever 10/10 win!

Well done son, you got there in the end.

 

Hypnotic

Trying hard to be inception ends up more insidious.

A mess from start to finish.

Bad/10

Reality

An interesting wee film that's whole dialogue is lifted from actual FBi recordings of the event.

Good performances from all the leads.

7/10

 

The Whale 8.1/10

 

The Covenant 7.8/10

 

The Days

Limited Japanese series telling the story of the 2011 Yukashema Daiichi nuclear disaster.

Pretty vivid detailing of the workers on the ground and the government response.

Probably gets a wee bit bogged down on detail tbh. It's not a patch on Chernobyl but interesting non the less.

6.5/10

 

Watched Hypnotic last night. My old man picked up his crossword book after an hour. Utter garbage. I think the film itself got lost with which bits were real. Ridiculous ending.

1/10

 

Do you remember The Water Margin?
Link Chung and The Tattooed Dragon fighting the badly who's name evades me atm.
Great stuff.

 

Yeah that was great.

 

tiz true….I enjoyed it more than monkey myself

 

Decided to watch His Dark Materials through, 3 seasons and the first season was really well done.

 

For Her Sins

I’ve just watched the second episode of the four part series on Channel 5 and so far it’s very good. I’d say 8.2/10, so far.

 

Avatar 2 not great 6.1/10

 

yeah poor

think I gave it a 4.8

 

Fast X, gonna give it a 5.8, mainly for Mamoa, he's having a great time, and steals the movie.
Wasn't arsed about seeing it despite being a petrol-head, mates chose it, then bitched about how utterly ridiculous it was, while I laughed all the way through because of how utterly ridiculous it was.
Easily the most ridiculous F&F movie yet, watch it knowing that.

If you're going to watch a thought provoking movie and want a plot though, a very generous 4 (and Mamoa gets 5 of that)

 

You should have been too drunk to watch a film. Congrats btw.
