I, Tonya
On Amazon, a sort of biopic, comedy drama about US figure skater Tonya Harding and the "incident" with Nancy Kerrigan in the build up to the 1994 winter Olympics.
Interesting, funny, informative and a great watch.
5.9/6
Agreed - the guy who kept saying he was working as a spy - had me in stitches! On Amazon, a sort of biopic, comedy drama about US figure skater Tonya Harding and the "incident" with Nancy Kerrigan in the build up to the 1994 winter Olympics.
Interesting, funny, informative and a great watch.
5.9/6
Cargo – Another pandemic zombie film, this time set in the Australian outback with Martin Freeman. All too predictable. 6/10
Spider-man into the Spider-verse – Back in animation form, Spider-man is dead, universes are colliding and a new hero is required. Highly imaginative and entertaining with some great artwork. 8/10
The Meg – Prehistoric shark attacks from the bottom of the ocean. Jason Statham saves the day. 6/10

Joker...
Knew it was going to be good but wasn’t quite prepared for the greatest acting performance I’ve ever witnessed.....INCREDIBLE!
AND......a bit of Gary Glitter too!

Saw this yesterday and, despite not smiling once, found it brilliant in the way you at the same time felt for the guy whilst not wanting to be anywhere near him. Think it might benefit from a rewatch as he's a bit of an unreliable narrator.9/10 from me.
Blood Simple (1984)
DVD
Texas, early 1980’s; bar owner employs a PI to follow his want-away wife; unsurprisingly things quickly take a turn for the worse.
First Cohen Brothers film, still excellent – particularly the cinematography & score. Very dark but with some humour. Usual themes with their noir and lots of future tells.
PI (M. Emmet Walsh) chap reminded me a bit of the loon from No Country For Old Men.

Green Book - Not much I can add that hasn't already been said. Great film, entirely worthy of it's accolades 9/10
9 Steinways out of 10 pianos from me
The Revenant - on a technical level, absolutely stunning and a remarkable bit of film-making. But on a human and story telling level, it just left me a bit cold (no pun intended). Reminded me very much of Gravity in that I could appreciate what they had made, but was left feeling not sure what I'm supposed to take from it.

Finally got around to watching Godzilla: King of the Monsters on Monday having missed it at the cinema.
Remove brain, open beer, eat crisps, relax. A proper brain-out film with (after the "first" one) almost too many monsters! Some of the ideas were good, some of the scenes were ludicrous, but it was highly entertaining.

Have just watched this newest film.
Utterly terrible. The most cliched film I think I have ever had the misfortune to tolerate .
All they needed to add was ' I'll be back' and ' You're going to need a bigger boat' !
Sound effects that didn't match the vehicles and timelines that didn't work.
I ended up filleting some whiting whilst it was on in the background !
