Lol! Al doing his best Loopy impression

    Finally checked out Those Who Wish Me Dead. Worst thing Taylor Sheridan’s done movie-wise (Yellowstone is not good apparently either), but it was fun to see a movie that was very much a 90s thriller throwback. The way the fire moved I expect was researched and based on reality. And I now get how you can’t outrun it in a forest fire of that kind.

      I love Jon Bernthal. He’s my dude. Will be giving it a go just on him being in it. He makes every movie better. .

          I quite fancy a bit of that Hanners. Might stick it on tonight and get back to you with my thoughts.

          Couple more flight films:

          Limbo - comedy drama about some Asylum Seekers stuck on a remote island in Scotland. Quite funny, stupid and sad. The Q&A after was good. 7/10

          Snowpiercer - a Bong Joon-Ho action film - all a bit silly, but great entertainment nonetheless. Quite the shit ending though, so gets downgraded to a 6/10 from a potential 7

          Limbo got dumped after 30 mins. Watching incredulous migrants was even less funny than I’d expected.

          Snowpiercer was also fairly atrocious I thought.

          Check out Coming Home in the Dark on Netflix, that’s pretty solid.

              What accent is Al doing there?

                The Netflix series was pretty dire. They added Sean Bean/Sharpe to it so it’s probably got better tenfold, but I’m not going out of my way to try it again.

                  He’s an excellent character actor. Dunno if he can lead much of anything but he’s amazing in Sicario and Shot Caller. Also great in Ford V. Ferrari (an amazing film for those who haven’t seen it - really fucking good).

                  Team Bernthal.

                        Old man berates young robot in a film who’s message appears to be, ‘you learn as you go’. All the depth of a paddling pool, and yeah, what else was I expecting, but this seemed shallow even for a Hanks film.

                        No Time To Die

                        Decent Bond film. Couple of odd motivational bits, but okay stuff compared to some of the bore fests that went before.

                          House of Gucci: Amusing, but quite long (2 hr 40 mins) dramatisation of the life of Maurizio Gucci. Strong performances by Driver and Gaga, slightly ruined by Leto’s hamfisted gay fashionista cousin. Pacino is Pacino and Irons is Irons. Wardrobe and locations are superb. 6.5/10
