Naked Gun last night and Honey I shrunk the kids this morning. Both very enjoyable, the Naked Gun is still piss funny. Probably need to watch something a bit more up to date. Think it'll probably be Bohemian Rhapsody tonight and Train to Busan and Zodiac have been recommended so they're on my list. Have to agree with the Naked Gun choice. George Kennedy was made for it. |

Watched a beautifully poignant semi autobiographical film by the director of La Dolce Vita, called I Vitelloni on Amazon Prime. Set in 1953 Rimini, its characters are really accessible & the subtitles weren’t a problem🎥🎞

Had a few days off the films as the missus and I have been watching 'our friends in the North' which is on Youtube
Before that I got through Coco 10/10, Gran Torino 9/10, Zombieland 7.5/10 Shanghai Noon 6.5/10 (but very enjoyable) Forrest Gump 9/10 and Talledega Nights (6/10)
Also watched Blade Runner for the first time, hugely overrated and a massive disappointment. Bohemian Rhapsody was patchy as well, should have been better - preferred Rocket Man despite the cringy musical sequences
Le Mans 66 and Knives Out are on my to watch list this week.

I, Tonya - 8/10
Great sport related film. Too young to have been around when it happened so came into it totally fresh.
+ Margot Robbie

Too young to have been around when it happened so came into it totally fresh. + Margot Robbie Really well done by Margot Robbie to be fair (and says a lot that they had to give her a "make under" to make her more believable as Harding.....and even then, she's still 100 times better looking than Tonya Harding regardless). |

Totally fed up at the lack of creativity and original ideas nowadays, so have mostly been going back to the original greats:
20,000 leagues under the sea
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Enter the dragon
The Andromeda strain (as someone has also mentioned)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Planet of the apes (with Charlie and Roddy)
The full 6+ hours of Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth (i'm an atheist, but it's still a great piece of "cinema" and the best screen telling of the story to date)

Totally fed up at the lack of creativity and original ideas nowadays, so have mostly been going back to the original greats: Check out that Brazilian western/thriller I mentioned a couple of posts up, with a free trial on MUBI. Also: Victoria ( this one - it takes a while to warm up but it's worth it in the end) One Cut of the Dead (as above) Bait Chronicle Parasite A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Phoenix Three Billboards Black Swan Whiplash Wolf Children Her Nightcrawler A Separation Baby Driver Locke The Guilty (Danish film) Aniara The Red Turtle Mommy I, Tonya Game Night 1917 Not necessarily all films I'd recommend, but they all stood out to me as something different. It depends what you're looking for. There are loads of creative and original modern films I think are garbage! |

He's brilliant in '24 hour Party People' too,the film's not bad,but Considine's characterization is accepted as unerringly accurate. |

Mad max fury road watched it thought what’s the fuss as I was tired. Watched it a second time and thought what a masterpiece as I’d missed how bonkers and layered it actually was

Dead man's shoes with Paddy Considine... Cracking film Any Shane Meadows to be fair. Room for Romeo Brass is my fave I re-watched all the This is England series, absolutely compelling TV. As you say everything he does is excellent (with the possible exception of Once upon a time in the Midlands which he says himself he doesn't like) |

Recent views:
A Field in England (pretentious, abstract shite).
Ma / Greta: 2 films about lonely women who become obsessive stalkers. Both pretty good.
The Ritual: British cross between Blair Witch and Wicker Man. Not bad, nothing I haven't seen before.
Mindhorn: actor from an 80s cop show has to pretend he's a cop in the present day. Funny in bits.
Yesterday: the one where The Beatles never existed. Better than I thought.
Training Day: Denzil Washington as a corrupt cop. Very good.

Most recent views: Sightseers: British black comedy, utter shite. Trial By Fire: true story about a Texan man sentenced to execution for killing his kids in a house fire. Evidence comes to light that he may be innocent. Moving story, based on this case: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Todd_WillinghamBrightburn: couple find a kid in their field with special powers and raise him as their own, like Superman. But he's a psycho. A bit formulaic but a decent enough watch with some good kills. |

Out in America this year ‘ Before the Wrath’.
Available on Amazon movies but it’ll cost you. Not out on dvd here as yet. Well worth the pennies 👍

Wish they had a random film button on Netflix/Amazon Prime. I spend a stupid amount of time trying to choose a film.
Half an hour of the original Mulan this morning before the new Lion King, which was alright.
