Just back from Top Gun, I thought it was very good. The jet scenes are top quality and overall the story worked. I wanted ‘Hangman’ and his cheesey chip on his shoulder to crash & burn but other than that Cruise delivered again. Worth seeing in IMAX but I’m cockeyed now.

The Northman

Shite. Oddly shite. Had some proper ‘made for TV’ vibes about it at times. Not sure if it was the editing or just how it was shot, but it felt / looked un-cinematic at times, pacing was well off too. Swerve.

1.5 Bjorks in a corn hat out of 5.

Scuzzy 70s set exploitation tribute. Bunch of young uns film a porno in a remote farmhouse. Lots of tits and blood. What more do you want.

The Mission. Miserable story with an inert De Nero - score was awful, but has been sampled a lot as I recognised loads of it. A film of its time I’m sure, but fuck me the Catholic Church were and still are cunts. 6/10

Den Of Thieves (2018)

Threw it on last night when I couldn’t sleep. Obvious “The Town” rip off which was an obvious “Heat” rip off but damn enjoyable. Some serious, wait, why?, moments but no complaints. The Benihana scene holds up! Imperfect but who cares.

7 Nick Sobotka’s out of 10

First Reformed. Ethan Hawke is very, very good in one of the bleakest films I’ve seen in quite a while. Solid 8/10

Good film that. Likely never watch it again as it’s a tough one, but solid movie.

BlainSA

Along_the_Wire That’s got some very good reviews despite not making very much at the box office. Will check it out

Dan

Along_the_Wire Is it on par with Manchester by the Sea or The Bad Lieutenant?

Phil-McRackin

BlainSA it’s got guns too….and a head kind of explodes under a car wheel.

The Card Counter (2021)

Again….can’t sleep so put this on. Solid genre/noir flick. Huge Paul Schrader fan (wrote and directed “First Reformed” as well @Along_the_Wire) so I knew I’d like it, but might be a bit slow for some. And parts of the plot don’t make much sense. But beautifully shot and Tiffany Haddish is great in it. Looks great too.

7.5 why is Willem Dafoe in this’s out of 10

I keep forgetting to watch this flick. I don’t know why either. As it sounds pretty decent.

jonattonyeah

Dan Is it on par with Manchester by the Sea

It’s not THAT bad but pretty rough. “Manchester By The Sea” is a movie I’ll never watch again. It’s too sad. Not “Dear Zachary” level but nothing is. “First Reformed” is worth a go.

Along_the_Wire

Dan More Manchester By The Sea but not as grim

First day of my summer holiday and it rains here. Chose Forgetting Sarah Marshall as my daytime flick while waiting for the missus to come home from the horse stables. I fucking love this movie. Even Russell Brand is good in it. It does suffer from Judd Apatows habit of making too long comedies, this should not have been two hours long.

Also forgot how quotable it is. Everything Paul Rudd says in this is magical, and I’ve used this one from Russell Brand’s character a lot:

“I was gonna listen to that, but then I just carried on living my life.”

Homegrove Judd Apatows habit of making too long comedies

Great call. His movies are way too long. Never noticed until rewatching some recently. Streaming has messed up my perception and tolerance of anything over 90 minutes.

Dubman

It’s worth a go. But (hate to repeat myself) I’m a big fan of the director so I’m biased. Had all the makings of a great film but turned out just pretty good. I like the vibe of a film, and the cinematography, as much as plot so it checked the boxes for me. Won’t be for everyone.
