Finding dory. I was skeptical, nemo was meh but those pixel heads did it again. It was great.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Ooh I love a good thriller and mel is a bonus.I'll have that this evening.

Thanks and happy new year @Bernie Lomax

Happy new year! Enjoy the movie!

Watches some bad comedies this week. The AV club headline describes Why Him? as "entertaining hack work" and it's just about that. Good cast but it never really clicks, some funny scenes.

Keeping up with the Joneses, shite.

Disorder. French/Belgian thriller. Matthias Schoenaerts plays an ex soldier hired to protect the wife and child of a wealthy businessman while he's out of town. Naturally some bad shit goes down. I really liked it - really tense and Schoenaerts is a very convincing tough guy. Diane Kruger is impressive too.

Maryland (2015) - IMDb

Bone Tomahawk on the Netflix. Deadly.

That was my favourite film of last year. Must give it a rewatch

Sing street.
It was pretty much an ultra saccharine version of the commitments, even had a youths on the dart scene, but it was highly endearing and fun.

Hunt for the wildebeast
This was just great. The kid is a total scene stealer and Sam neill was a cantankerous hero!

Great way to usher out a brutal year.

Thumbs up for Rogue One!

Only major problems for me were

Spoiler

forest whitaker, but at least he died early, and the Cushing & Carrie CGI. (Just use another actor guys, it's okay)
Also, Vader looked and sounded a bit off, until he got to the killing at the end, which was awesome.

Big robot dude was great.

Also finished Metropolis yesterday, which took a couple of goes. Glad to get it ticked off the list. Was an interesting watch, some of the scenes with hundreds of actors crammed into tight spaces gave me cause for concern. Main actress was getting dragged about by her hair a bit much too.

And we watched The Man Who Fell To Earth over christmas. First time. Long, slow, 70s weirdness. I liked it, certainly has more interest because of the Bowie connection and knowing (or thinking we know) what state he was in at the time. Station to Station might be my favourite album. I probably wasn't prepared for seeing

Spoiler

the Bowie Balls, or Rip Torn's old lad

but hey.

The last Hunger Games film, it was a bit of a muddle.

 

[Hector Grey]

The Calling. Also on the Netflix. Ellen Burstyn, Susan Saradon, Don Sutherland. Smalltown cops solving a murder on a budget. You'd expect better, frankly. Wasn't bad. Passed the time. Just couldn't seem to make up its mind about what kinda film it was.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Crimson Peak. Second viewing. It's not in the least bit scary but it's wonderful to look at.

Dog Eat Dog. Crime comedy from Paul Schrader. Violent, mysoginistic, cliched trash. Deliberately offensive, tacky and crude. If this had come out 10 years ago it would be called dated - there's stuff lifted from Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers et al. In its favour Willem Dafoe hasn't been this sleazily enjoyable since Wild at Heart.

 

[Anthony]

Her. I liked it, bonus points for surprise Amy Adams appearance.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Silence. Long, boring and shit. Scorsese's worst. Andrew Garfield is a dreadful actor - the man bun and the crying

 

[hugh]

Hunt For The Wilderpeople.

Great stuff. A smart fun movie that both adults and kids can enjoy. That's something of a rarity at the moment.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

I re-watched Margin Call.
Fantastic cast, brilliantly acted and well written, one of the best films about the financial crisis. I'm more impressed each time I watch it.

Watching American Honey. It's good - authentic performances from a mostly non professional cast. God it's making me feel old though.

I liked that, but it was long and repeated itself a bit.

The boss lady is played by Elvis' granddaughter I believe

Everybody Wants Some!
Classic Linklater time based film. Tough first hour though, the characters are not likable.
