lichtie23 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 First ManDisappointed with this as expected so much more. Found it visually very difficult to watch with all the intense shaking from inside the rocket. Armstrong’s wife seemed a bit of a bitch as well, though I thought Claire Foy played her well. Ending was a bit flat too.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly the way they worked the humour into what is actually a grim situation. Watched this on sky last night , outstanding performances from the leads, Fully agree to put humour into this and to make it work was genius. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Kinsman: The Golden CircleNot as good as the first one obviously but I liked it. still full of very cool, if ott, slow motion fight scenes which I am partial to. Big, daft fun and an enjoyable watch, if a touch too long. Elton John's cameo was also far funnier to me than it had any right to be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Overlord is fucking great btw. The second half is an absolute blast and flew by. 8/10 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Bohemian RhapsodyLoved it. I understand it won’t all be true to life and some of the scenes were exaggerated but what a fucking life Freddie lived. Thought Malek played the main man brilliantly and the Live Aid scene was spot on from the original. Worth the 10 years in the making. Il drop it half a point due to having Queen songs running through my head for the last few days.9.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Juliet, Naked Another Nick Hornby adaptation. Chris O'Dowd and Rose Byrne have been together for 15 years but are drifting apart. She can't stand his addiction to a (fictional) 90's American singer (Ethan Hawke) who vanished after one mediocre album. He runs a fan site for him and one day a cd of unreleased stuff turns up. His girlfriend hears it, signs up to his fan site and says it's a load of shite. The singer then gets in touch to say he wholeheartedly agrees and much standard rom-comery ensues. Not going to trouble any award ceremonies but a perfectly decent, sweet comedy. 6.9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Den of Thieves(Netflix) Watchable, but Gerard Butler is very shite in it,plays the most annoying cop in the entire world.4/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (186) Peterloo 4/10 Mike Leigh at his broad brush worst, loads of inspirational speeches and northern patronising, good on historical accuracy and rabble rousing, embarrassing on most else. Lost me totally when Maxine Peake was being all matronly with a fat bloke from Wigan, the pages of my life up for display.

welshbairn Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Birds of Passage. Colombian film about an aboriginal tribe (not sure of the correct term for people who were there before the Spanish arrived), whose matriarch asks too much for a dowry and the suiter ends up having to sell dope to American hippies to raise it, and everything escalates. It's a sequel to Embrace of the Serpent I think, which I'll try to find. Good, 7/10 minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 On the best of 2018 question, I'd go with Blackkklansman for now. I'll give it more thought at the end of the year though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Off the top of my head I’d probably go with ‘Blindspotting’ as the best of the year so far...but yeah will also properly decide when I do a year end list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Yeah, I didn't expect concrete answers. Just wanted to see if there's been any really good ones I've missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only got my unlimited card in July though so basically saw nothing that came out in the first half of the year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
