Black Dynamite - a homage to the 70's Blacksplotation films full of deliberately dodgy effects, random editing, extreme afros, kung-fu treachery and plenty of jive suckers. It's actually really hard to make a film that's purposefully bad, since most of the time you just make a bad film, but this one succeeds and had me laughing throughout. Would definitely recommend.
Got this on your recommendation. Was it excellent? You bet yo tight ass it was, mofo. Halb said:

City of Lost Children
Well, I expected it to be odd. I didn't expect it to be rather boring.
Do you mean the weird French film from the '90s? I liked it a lot when it was released, but not seen it since. Perhaps it hasn't aged well. Well, I expected it to be odd. I didn't expect it to be rather boring.
Dunkirk.
Cracking film. It was pointed out at the start but for some reason my brain chose not to properly comprehend what it was told so it was a bit confusing for a while as there are several stories being told but from different points in the same 24hrs that all end up intertwining a la "Go".
Definitely worth a watch if just to hear the Spitfire and get the tiniest inkling of what it must've been like to see them in proper action.

Spiderman Homecoming.
4/10 - meh.
Just too many of these things now - supported by people like me going to see it. (Although my niece chose so technically her fault)
Felt like an over long Audi advert in places - every car was a sodding Audi.
I have zero affinity or passion for Marvel/DC so watch these things just as a movie - this one was enjoyable, thought the young Superman guy was right balance of naive / brave / likeable and RDJ and Keaton are always watchable. Went with my daughter and she picked (thwarting my Dunkirk plans) - hopefully this starts a consistent superman franchise with a decent plot line.4/10 - meh.

Had to explain to a 10 year old that "porn" was just a rude word, that we'll explain in a few years
6.7/10
I was persueded by my son to start watching the series Fargo. Compared to all the usual crap around, I thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes, a revelation!
Back to films.
Last night I reacquainted myself with the original Cohen Brothers film, (Fargo) much darker than the series.
I first watched this when it came out and it still shone through as an all time great, ya, you betcha.........
Recommended viewing for all that missed it.

I loved how as the film moved forwards more and more of the 3 lines crossed each other.
A very raw film, very little script, a great score.... nothing gratuitous, but you're not left in any doubt about peril, bravery, dread, relief and all the other intense emotion of war. A decent cast, each aspect could easily have a film of it's own....SO good to see quality film making that involves a Spitfire.
As an aside when I saw it over the weekend, there were more than a few teenagers....and more than a few of them were girls.... The Harry Styles effect I assume. He does a decent job of the bit he had to be fair...and I'm wondering if by casting him, a large wedge of today's kids will watch this to see him but end up learning a thing or two about our history...
