David Kelly 1117 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 John Wick Chapter 2. Stupid but reasonable fun. I'm not as down Reeves as an actor as some, in his best films he's fine. But his acting in this is pretty atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4006 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Arrival. I think I must have been going through a senile spell when I read the story as I realised after watching the film that I didn't "get it" when I read it. I got the non-linear time thing and her brain starting to think like that because of the language but missed the whole life story thing. I'm now really glad I watched the film as I enjoyed it despite it making me doubt my intelligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20150 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Manchester by the sea. Not an easy watch for a Saturday night but beautifully done. Absolutely spellbinding performance from Casey afleck, who looks a dead cert for the best actor oscar, and a perfect deployment of flashbacks as a narrative tool. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14136 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Boyhood Male-Weltanschauung-affirming nonsense. Basically part of the reason we are where we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18049 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Boyhood Male-Weltanschauung-affirming nonsense. Basically part of the reason we are where we are now. Pardon?

Dr Gloom 20150 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 i thought it was canny. like most linklater filums, not a lot happens, but the scale of its ambition meant that didn't really matter. seeing a family seamlessly age by over a decade in the space of a couple of hours entertainment was pretty amazing.

Meenzer 14136 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have a family and I've seen them age. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I get that it's very clever because it filmed the whole thing in quasi-real time and all, but it's pretty easy to move the narrative goalposts when you give yourself that much time.

Tooj 17 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The Seven Five. Documentary that's just been added to Netflix about New York police corruption in the 80s/90s. Well worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Watched the seven five a while ago, really liked it. I finally finished watching the OJ documentary the other night. The prosecution made a right arse of his original trial but the judge in his robbery case really stuck it to him in what you can only imagine was an effort at some kind of retribution. It was amazing to see the reaction of the black (and a certainly white bloke who seems to think he's black) community to his original acquittal. It's hard to imagine a similar reaction to anyone over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 La La Land. Christ what a Turkey. The two lead actors can't really sing and dance. This one would imagine as a stumbling block to something proporting to be a musical. Drive looks half asleep through most of it and goldfish eyes is so lacking in screen presence it is really painful to watch her. 3.8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Patriots Day. Thoroughly entertaining. Hidden Figures. I assume the three women weren't all best friends in real life, but I can get over that for the sake of the story. It's a nice companion piece to The Right Stuff which I also watched recently. And Janelle Monae is hot as fuck in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Enjoyed it, some very funny bits and Ricky and Heck work very well together on screen.

David Kelly 1117 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Fences. A bit of a slog and I don't really know why Washington was Oscar nominated for it. He just plays the same Denzell that he always plays, except this time he's a bit more of a cunt. Mykelti Williamson was much better as his brother was much better.

Dr Gloom 20150 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Kingsman. Good fun. Slick direction from Vaughan. What the fuck was Samuel L Jackson's lisp all about though? I'm a big fan usually bit that was a shocking performance 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
