I hadn't seen any other films like it (Senna or Amy) but it was really well produced and flowed nicely for a film basically of clips there were no interviews to camera like you sometimes get in other documentaries. Ah ok. GFT seems to have it first week in August so I'll need to wait until then. I've seen Senna, which I thought was brilliant, but not Amy, due a passionate dislike of Winehouse and the whole media love-in around her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Wild Rose. A British musical about a Glasgow singer leaving behind the bleakness and poverty of Scotland to make it big in Nashville. It was OK. The lead actors Glasgow accent wasn't convincing. Julie Walters gives it some credibility. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Midsommar was pretty good. Intriguing narrative and beautiful visuals, but the plot kinda seemed to forget where it was going about halfway through, and ended up feeling similar to other horror films based around sects/cults. Also laughed way too much for a horror film. 7/10 though, would recommend. Edited July 24, 2019 by RossBFaeDundee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Dougal McGuire Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Secret Obsession - Netflix. 4/10Started well but fizzled out with an obvious plot and a lot of nonsense thrown in. Don’t bother with this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Pride has just shown up on iPlayer. For those who haven't seen it: 1. Why the fúck not? 2. Watch it. Now. Stop whatever you're doing. Just watch it. 3. Keep some tissues ready for the Bread and Roses scene. Or watch alone. It will probably seem like a weird historical document to you youngsters, but fúck me it brings back some memories.

Armand 2 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Been to the cinema twice in the last few weeks. Toy Story 4 - 9/10 When the last Toy Story came out, I remember thinking that maybe I was a bit too old to enjoy it - but subsequently loved it. Despite that, I felt the same way about this one but got roped into going. Wouldn't you know it, I loved it. Great way to unplug from adulting for an hour or so. Yesterday - 3/10 My mum is a big Beatles fan so I'd earmarked this to take her to. By the time it finished, it felt like it fucking started Yesterday. The boy playing Jack is not a film actor in a million years, certainly not as a lead. I harboured a little hope that it might have been a bit like Love Actually but it was pretty dire, paint-by-number stuff. Haven't summoned the courage to go and see Midsommar. Hereditary was actually a really disturbing film, I still find myself thinking about it occasionally. From the trailers, I don't think Midsommar is any different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Mile 22. Wantedto get to the cinema to see this but never did. All action film with a pretty readable plot twist. The ending seemed a bit rushed. Enjoyed it though, would watch again. 7/10. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Philadelphia Had never seen this before. Was on the tv last week. It won the Oscar for best film at the time and out of context it would seem surprising as it's like a mid-90s made for American TV movie. I suppose at the time it was tackling "tough" issues for Hollywood. AIDS - and very bad AIDS at that - Tom Hanks and Antonio Banderas playing a gay couple. The politics of it seemed a bit odd. It seemed to be explicitly repeatedly saying "Yes, we all hate fags, but a law has been broken here and the law respects even fags". The dialogue at times could have been dropped into South Park. Biggest surprise was seeing how short Antonio Banderas is. He must stand on a box in his films now as in a few scenes everyone, including normal height ladies, were towering over him. Strangely, the race politics was much less troubling. Denzel Washington is a black lawyer and is shown to be a totally normal guy (normal in that he repeatedly spews homophobic bile). It was colour-blind in the way that so much coming out of America isn't any more. Really good performance from Tom Hanks though but overall it was more interesting as a snapshot of American opinion at the time rather than a great film in its own right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
