Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Lion… true story about a young Indian boy (living in India) who becomes separated from his brother and trapped on a train that takes him far far away. Ends up in an shelter for orphans and then adopted by an Australian couple. Tugs on the heart strings in a big way and very well made. Given I hadn’t even heard of this film, I was really quite surprised just how much I enjoyed it. Best film I’ve watched during lockdown 8.5/10

The King of Staten Island. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s funny, silly, cheesy and melancholic. Enjoyed it. 8/10. I’m gonna research Pete Davidson.

Also watched Greed last week at the instance of the missus. Absolute fucking tripe. 2/10

Lurked on here for for some movie recommendations. Good call on the Nicholson shout outs.

China Town: Funnily enough I never watched this, the last 20 mins is a proper mind fuck. Quality noir mystery thriller. 9.1 /10

The Pledge: This was decent, but it had a bit too much 90s melodrama. The cast was beastly! 7.2/10

King of Staten Island: Not a fan of Pete Davidson at all, couldn’t get passed the first 15 mins of his special, though that Louis CK story was kinda funny. Find his voice extremely annoying and he looks like he’s flirting with anorexia and an opiate addiction. But I ended up warming up to him after watching this. Bill Burr is fantastic as well. This is more like Funny People which I loved. Great watch. 8.3/10

rhouses Yeah, Bull Burr was great

Along_the_Wire Thanks, Grant!

Had a bit of a giggle when I read Dubman’s reaction to Da 5 Bloods because a reliable friend said, “the reviews have been great. it’s spike lee.” And after watching it I couldn’t believe anyone would say anything good about it.

What a piece of shit. It was like one of those Adam Sandler movies where he gathers all his washed-up SNL comedian friends for a straight money grab. It seemed like they force fitted all those clips of Ali, MLK and the BLM protests last minute, to be topical and did a shoddy job of it too. 2/10

Watched The Imitation Game for the 1st time. What a mad cunt Turing was. Hang on a second there lads while I just construct a computer to break an unbreakable code, and I’ll have a sandwich when you’re on the way back too.

Contagion (2010)

Hadn’t seen the ’rents in coming up on four months given all this. Finally made the trip down last night as I understand a I’m good to go on that front. Made them watch “Contagion”.

8.5/10

Paltrow’s two seizure-faces almost get it to a 9. Jude Law’s naff Alex Jones impression knock it down to an 8. The last scene bumps it to a solid 8.5.

Marion Cotillard does look great in it, ’though. Amended to a firm 8.75.

Millsy

Shudder. Jude Law films.

What, you don’t like The Holiday? I mean it also has Jack Black.

Along_the_Wire

Homegrove Jack Black is awful and unfunny. I hate him and all his shit films.

rhouses

The Drop - Being a dog lover, this was obviously great. Just felt Gandolfini’s character was a bit random and unnecessary, felt like a waste. Liked how they built up Hardy to that WTF moment. 7.7/10

Homegrove

I was trying to be funny…. 😢

The Holiday was the worst movie my ex made me watch with her, and that’s saying something.

Along_the_Wire

Homegrove Thank god for that, H!

Millsy

I did like his cameo in Anchor Man where he boots Baxter off the bridge and turns to Burgundy and states ’that’s how I roll’….and thats about it.

Homegrove

I’ll give him a pass in High Fidelity too. He was supposed to be annoying.

jonattonyeah

I liked it when Jack Black got his arm blown off in “The Jackal”.

Decent flick that. If for nothing more than Richard Gere’s abortive Irish accent. “Ahhhhh shite!” Why did they even have him do that? Didn’t seem like it was a necessary script point. Not quite Keanu in Dracula bad, but not too far off. Closer to Cruise in “Far And Away”….“shag off the pair of ya!”

Along_the_Wire

Dark Waters - decent legal drama with Mark Ruffalo and Tim Robins. The US is a fucking mess, with the rest of the world not far behind. 7/10

Dubman

Along_the_Wire
Dark waters is a good film but the documentary about it is even more harrowing. Especially Teflon and how it’s been used. They reckon it’s in most of our bodies.

Homegrove

Speaking of Ruffalo, Spotlight comes to HBO Nordic tomorrow. Haven’t looked forward to watching a movie again this much in a long time.

Along_the_Wire

Homegrove That is a great fucking film.

rhouses

Homegrove Ruffalo is absolutely brilliant in that new TV show - I Know This Much Is True. It’s a really bleak and extremely depressing series and I’m not sure the subject matter will interest everyone for entertainment, but the acting in it is just first class. Was a bit close to home for me and this missus was finding herself tear up in regular intervals. I can’t imagine how tough it must have been to be dealing with mental health issues from the 60s-80s.
