latest film/ dvd you have seen

Darkest Hour - Definitely worth a watch, great cast and all with strong performances. It's good that this has been made close to Dunkirk as you see all the bureaucracy behind that film. I am fascinated by World War 2 which makes it easy to enjoy, definitely an 8/10 for me.
 
Edge of Tomorrow, watched that last night, 3rd time iv'e seen it and it's just great.

Before that several days ago I watched Oblivion, amazing film, fantastic soundtrack with stunning visuals, and a great plot.

This must be Tom Cruise week. :lol:
 
Two cinema visits in the last 10 days or so throwing out two very different films and two very different reviews too:

Black Panther
The latest of the Marvel universe offerings and (if) anyone who has read my previous musings will have noted I'm no fan of Marvel, but I was suckered in to mainstream reviews hailing this as something different and something brilliant.
Its ok, its not brilliant, one of the few I'd sit through a second time, but certainly not a film I'd actively buy on BluRay etc. Generally poor acting throughout with the exception of the two main females. Costumes were decent and that's about where it ends.

I, Tonya
In contrast to the above, this stands out as one of the best films I've seen in years.
Perfect storytelling of a tale you couldn't make up. Beautifully shot, very clever and accurate wardrobe and set dressings.
Simply breathtaking performances from all four main cast members, with Alyson Janney stealing the show.
Utterly brilliant!
 
I watched Blade Runner 2049 for the first time the other week on blu-ray.

This is my review...

Trust me the visuals and scenery in that film are spectacular, I can imagine 4k would just be incredible. 8)

I saw a lot of guff about how amazing it was but I didn't see how it would be any better than the tonnes and tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of other super hero movies. Bar the fact it has a mainly/exclusively black cast, why would this super hero movie be ANY different to four or five other superhero movies we get served up every single ****ing year!?

Good to know I can save my time and not bother.


I did drag the missus to see Journeys' end, much to her delight. It's not a bad film, very slow, but surprisingly not gruesome at all. If anything I think it underplayed the brutality and savageness of the first world war. If anything I was a little underwhelmed by it. Maybe it was just trying to be a film about personal journeys that happened to be set in WW1 rather than a film about soliders in WW1 and how it affects them, it did feel like a missed opportunity to me though.
 
Finally watched Hacksaw Ridge last night. Superb film and knowing it's a true story, makes it even better. What these guys went through for their countries is truly remarkable.

I just watched this aswell. Really enjoyed it. 8)
 
Born on The Fourth of July
I'd watched this when it was released and had a memory that it was decent... I was beyond disappointed when I watched it again with fresh eyes. It's not aged well, the acting is good, but the Direction (and yes, I do like Oliver Stone) was terrible, the story made little to no sense, the pacing was appalling and the whole thing was disjointed... If you have good memories of this, please don't watch it again, keep the memory alive!
 
The Shape Of Water

Bloody beautiful film. Not got a bad word to say about it. Michael Shannon plays an evil bastard so damn well!
 
Watched the hitman's bodyguard on DVD on Friday. It's alright. If you have 90 mins to kill and want to watch a load chases and gun fights it'll pass the time. If you want great plot, fantastic acting and realism ehhh it's not for you.
 
I am thoroughly ashamed to say, that as an avid film fan, I have never in my 41 years on this planet got around to watching "The Shining".

For some reason I just never got around to it. I watched it last night and enjoyed every minute. Creepy, atmospheric, and downright gets in your head. Great film!
 
Just watched TFA (6.99 at HMV). First time since cinema.

I really liked it and forgot a lot of bits from seeing in cinema. TLJ out soon on dvd!
 
The Big Short
I'd never heard of this and just came across it on Netflix. It's brilliant! A real piece of history (banking breakdown and subsequent world wide financial crisis) laid down in movie form to tell a story, how it happened and still be entertaining too. Highly recommended
