Hail, Caesar!

I think this is my favourite of the Coens' films..it's just great, that 'would that it were so simple scene ' is just hilarious

The Lost Boys

One of my favourite films of all time, just fun with vampires.

The Fast and the Furious

I have been watching TFATF films for 18 years. I cannot be objective about them, they are awesome. Also nonsensical.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended)

A great film, no matter how many times I've seen it, still great

Black Panther

Love this. Probably my favourite of the Marvel 'verse. I

RIP Chadwick Boseman

Demolition Man

One of my all time favourite films, but for the first time ever I've just seen the Pizza Hut version. So weird.

Fight Club

It's amazing how well this holds up. Although still the danger that some viewers may stay impressed with the coolness of Tyler Durden and not really believe that he is NOT the hero

Scarlet Street

Well worth a watch, and the end doesn't pull any punches

Anatomy of a Fall

it's amazing to read the comments about these 'unlikeable characters' as I didn't think anyone was unlikeable. I mean they all had flaws and acted badly, but isn't that part of living?

I really loved the way it asked so many questions, and the fact that it says right up there it doesn't matter what the truth is, just what people believe. I'm not sure I agree entirely with that, in some cases the truth is a fact, but it works for this film

Open Range

one of my all time favourite films. I've researched it many times, slow and measured. a simple story well told and with great chemistry between Duvall and Costner.

The Boston Strangler

I don't know if this is any way accurate but as a film it is very powerful. it doesn't shy away from the horrendous acts committed but yet has a strangely sympathetic approach.

very well acted and well worth a watch, but not an easy viewing

Three Identical Strangers

Truth really is stranger than fiction.

The Dark Knight

I still really love this film, but the whole Harvey Dent storyline makes absolutely no sense.

Nine to Five

So I had no idea this had such a bizarre, but awesome plot

The Vast of Night

Really enjoyed this film. Its certainly different from most films, loved the long dialogue heavy scenes and the slow growing atmosphere.

Cast a Dark Shadow

Really enjoyed this one. Great script, and good acting. Kept engaged in the story, though Lockwood playing Freda was particularly good.

The Old Guard

Really enjoyed this. Plenty of action and some great characters. Would certainly be interested in a sequel

Colossal

This was not at all what I expected, and I really really liked it

Fast Five

This is where the true insanity begins. I mean I know the others weren't realistic, but the ascent to surreal genius is almost upon us.

Us

Not as terrifying as I thought from the trailer but still a great film, well worth watching. If possible know nothing before you see it. http://www.susanhatedliterature.net/2019/03/us/

Captain Marvel

Really liked this one. Feels full of joy, similar to Black Panther although not as good. Loved all the 90s nods and Goose!

Say Anything...

I really enjoyed this film, knew nothing about it before watching, but am so glad I did. Great characters & a great, low-key storyline.

Stan & Ollie

Better than I'd expected and surprisingly emotional

Rocky IV

Oh Rocky IV, the worst of the Rocky films in some ways. But also the most Rocky in others. Also, the film that is pretty much all montage. I mean, how many montages can one film take? Rocky IV certainly pushes the envelope there.

It is a bad film. I don’t think I could argue otherwise.

But, then again, Rocky. So I gotta love it, at least a little.

Centurion

On rewatch I think I feel pretty much the same about this film as I did originally, it isn't going to win many awards but it damn entertaining. With much violence.

Also, I'd like somebody to make a film from the point of view of the picts/celts/germanics/whomevers that the Romans invaded without any rooting for the imperialistic colonial empire.

Adaptation.

First two thirds of this film were fantastic, but let down by the final third unfortunately.

The Northman

Everything was well done. But the story was just not for me, felt that id already seen the vengeance story in other guises, and would have liked a different take.

But then again it delivers what the trailer promised so I shouldnt complain.

loading replies
Brightburn

This was okay, but I was hoping for something a little more psychological or at least that explored what it might have been like rather than the straight forward horror this was

loading replies
Bloodshot

It's fine. I wasn't sure at first, the opening is a bit "hmmmm" but then the story takes a turn which made that much more interesting. Could have been a LOT better, but then again, it could have been an awful lot worse too.

Scarface

It certainly had a message to impart, but I prefer this to the glorification in other, later mob movies
