It’s another example of Christian Bale’s odd obsession with total body transformation. I really enjoyed it at the time but some doubts have crept in now. I won’t spoil anything because I expect a fair few of you will be going to see this. It’s certainly very interesting at the very least. I will say that this film is the most egregious example of Steve Carell (in this case, Donald Rumsfeld) just totally being Michael Scott, it’s endearing and grating at the same time. (cinema) I never thought I'd be able to say the sentence "Christian Bale looks like a young Chevy Chase". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 American MadeThe clearly exaggerated story of Barry Seal, who was a pilot who flitted between transporting ching for Escobar and guns for the CIA, becoming minted in the process. Quite funny and I liked the political background to it.MoanaCan say without shame that this was a fantastic film. Beautifully animated, banging tunes and great voice acting. Everything you want from Disney. The Rock can hold a tune as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 again. I hope when they get the infinity stones back off Thanos they have some sort of nod to bringing Yondu back alongside the other characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Watched Fyre on Netflix. A documentary on how the $10,000 ticket music festival in the Bahamas collapsed. Just a bunch of rich, young incompetents making excuses for 90 minutes. Thoroughly entertaining, and you’re delighted that it failed at the end. Everyone involved is insufferable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The UpsideDecent film overall. Kevin Hart on top form and Cranston is funny too in his own way. Can kinda understand the stooshy over an able bodied actor playing a disabled character but realistically, how many quadriplegic actors are kicking about?Isle Of DogsThis was weird as shit. Mental Japanese animated film about a tyrannical mayor who expels all dogs to 'Trash Island' and a wee boy flies there to find his dog.Interesting, robot chicken style animation mixed in with classic anime. Some not too subtle messages about authoritarian leaders turning the masses against a group, genocide etc.Very different but enjoyable with some funny dialogue between the dogs (sentences you never thought you'd say) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
