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?

                C_J Snowpiercer was also fairly atrocious I thought.

                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.

                      jonattonyeah Dunno if he can lead much of anything

                        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.

                        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

                            Wasily House of Gucci

                            That movie is out of its mind. It might be the most amusing film I’ve seen since Wolf Of Wall Street and I’m not sure that’s intentional. It’s just a farce from a deeply serious director. I don’t even know what’s going on with that movie but Lady Gaga was good, I thought. I think it’s worth a watch but wouldn’t blame anyone for turning it off after 30 minutes.

                              Wasily But nice to see decent some 80’s/ 90’s fashion.

                              Just head to Dalston for this chief.

                                Watched Widows last night on a mate’s recommendation. Entertaining crime caper and worth a watch - 7/10.

                                Elizabeth Debicki wouldn’t need to ask me twice.

                                  Slender, graceful and elegant?

                                  Fair play!

                                  Ed is my constant reminder to pick up the Christmas turkey from the butchers.

                                  Not going for the 3 bird roast this year?

                                  Homegrove I gave this a go but it was just unwatchable and had to turn it off. Angelina Jolie as an elite firefighter? That’s a tough sell. Aiden Gillen and Nicholas Holt as an elite hit squad? See above.

                                    Told you it was a 90s throwback. 😂

                                    Remember movies like Broken Arrow?

                                      Homegrove Broken Arrow

                                      John Travolta and Christian Slater in the same movie. Who thought that was a good idea.

                                          jonattonyeah John Travolta and Christian Slater in the same movie. Who thought that was a good idea.

                                            Along_the_Wire it is. There was nothing to it but groundbreaking 3D. It did look amazing in the theatre TBH. But the story was Dances with Wolves in space. And that’s it.

                                              Dances with Wolves, now that is a blast from the past.

                                              Arguably Nic Cage’s finest film.
