Raidernation Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Rogue 16/10. Mostly dull and an unnecessary addition to the SW cash cow. Saved by a couple of decent scenes.Last Jedi 3/10Poor, annoying, 70% of it totally pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 JoJo Rabbit - 8.5/10Great humour, great ideas, just a weeeee bit clumsy and unsubtle at times. Love the ending though. No doubt the film will be looked on fondly in years to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The GentlemenLoved this. Great, well knitted together plot, with some twisty twists. Lot of red herrings and a satisfying conclusion. Great cast, with the highlight being High Grant playing the most un-Hugh Grant character ever. Colin Farrell was also very enjoyable to watch. The Gentlemen I saw it too and I have to agree with your review, I thought it was a very enjoyable film. Guy Ritchie has had some absolute stinkers in the past but I put this up with Lock Stock and Snatch. 9/10.Went to see this and was actually pretty impressed. Was ridiculously funny, Hugh Grant is outstanding while McCounghey and Farrell play their parts really well. It maybe got a bit convoluted towards the end but it shouldn’t be a film you go into expecting a solid plot/story. More of a switch off and enjoy action(?)/comedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobles Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Bombshell - 7/10 Decent enough watch but there is just something about Nicole Kidman's acting that I just never enjoy. Story of Roger Ayles and how he used his power to abuse women. Theron is excellent as is Robbie.I enjoyed it but it's not a patch on The Loudest Voice which was on Showtime in the US.Agree with the 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Joker - 20/10.. Late to the party here. Have seen literally thousands of films in my life and I have learned to ignore all the hyped up reviews that go along with so called blockbusters. Having seen original releases of Cuckoos nest, Deer hunter, Godfather and Goodfellas, I always rated DeNiro as the main man. Quite possibly THE greatest performance from an actor that I have ever seen. Take a bow. Jaoquin Pheonix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Niro still is the greatest of all time for me (Closely followed by the likes of Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando etc) but I reckon Phoenix is a cracking shout for modern era. He elevates films. Even shite films, he raises the bar and makes the character interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinkle Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Im going to have to go against the grain and say that i thought Joker was garbage. Had been looking forward to it but bar a couple of scenes, its the most overrated film of the past decadeJojo Rabbit 8/10 - Loved itKnives Out 7/10 - braw whodunnitEli 3/10 - nonsense 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Watched a weird version of the '73 Wicker Man last night that I'd recorded ages ago on Film4HD (which is actually important).It was clearly either an extended cut or the original cut remastered, because there were quite a few scenes that hadn't been enhanced from its initial state, making for some pretty minging image quality in between HD pictures. While it was incredibly distracting, it was quite an interesting delve into the mind of a film editor, seeing the shortest of scenes (sometimes not even five seconds) that they felt didn't serve a purpose, and others that were halved in length. I have absolutely no idea why Film4 decided that this was the version that they wanted to air though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Joker The Lighthouse(2019) Couple of weird ones but couldn't stop watching the performances. I'd give both 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Erik the Red First time watching this in years. Still a decent film, but it lacks the inventiveness and creativity Terry Gilliam films have and therefore just feels like a rejected idea of us. Also, Mickey Rooney as Tim Robbins grandfather? Who are you trying to kid. 6/10 Edited January 11, 2020 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 1917 (2019) I thought this was excellent. Strong performances by the main actors and the overall feel of it was just right. It was slightly slow paced at times but I suppose that suited the storyline. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably on the biggest screen you can get near. Mendes never disappoints, but this is a gem even by his (very) high standards. Deserves some Oscar nods at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly jump out your seat at some of the explosions. Great film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Once Upon a Time In AmericaLove to watch this every so often and each time it convinces me it’s probably the best film ever made. My favourite anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Us - Sky CinemaWasn't sure what to expect about this. Had seen good reviews at the time but horror is rarely my genre of choice.It was a good watch though. Really eerie atmosphere with some great music and a great lead performance. Really creepy premise and some great, gory scenes. Would recommend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
