Ballerina - enjoyable animation set in Paris about an orphaned girl's desire to be an accountant a Ballerina. Perfect fare for a young 'un.

I, Daniel Blake.

10/10.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Prevenge - heavily pregnant woman goes on a homicidal rampage. It is very funny but loses its way towards the end. 7.5/10

Thought tonight would be a good night to go to the flics on account of a certain football match here.

Saw the excellent Catalan film Uncertain Glory (Incerta Glòria).Well worth catching when it eventually gets a UK/DVD release.

Finally saw Speilberg's War Of The Worlds....it's pretty fine seeing as I don't really do action films or Tom Cruise. 8/10

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2. Seen reviews saying it was good but not as good as the first movie, I thought it was fantastic - possibly better. Funnier, and higher stakes, I've seen some people saying the second act was too long but I thought it helped develop the characters and really set up the tension and emotion of the finale. I expected action & fun but not the emotion of the end, it turned Mrs Drastic into a blubbering mess and I certainly had something in my eye. :'( 9/10

PS. Make sure you stay to the very end as there are FIVE post credit scenes!

8/10? Were you drunk when you watched it. It rates as one of his stinkers of which there are many.

Ironing actually. I'm with Mad Cyril on this.

Ok, so you do the ironing while drunk, kodos for that ( don't answer the phone, if you know what I mean) May I suggest Warsaw 44 when not ironing. Daughter in bed and wife sworn to silence, harrowing but a truly excellent film.

At least 9/10. Trust me on this.

 

[Pubey]

Moana - 8/10

 

[MK Shrimper]

Get Out - mixed race couple go and visit the rich, white liberal parents of the girl and all the servants are black. Excellent horror/thriller, highly recommended! 9/10

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Paterson. Jim Jarmusch & Adam Driver, a quiet ordinary life kind of movie that is right up my alley. Beautiful. 9.5/10

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Cry,the Beloved Country.Korda's 1951 film of Alan Patton's novel,starring Sidney Poitier.Excellent.

Anyone seen the trailer for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri? Hope that the film is as good.

 

[MK Shrimper]

A Girl walks home alone at night - tedious art house "horror" film. Dreadfully dull. 1/10

Going In Style. Caine, Freeman, Arkin neither of which needed to try to hard. Was it a classic? No but there were some exceptionally funny moments and, for me, Christopher Lloyd (Doc, Back to the Future) steals the show every time he appears. Definitely watchable though and I'd give it a 13/20

I enjoyed it more than the first one as well. Baby Groot steals the show though. The part where he is trying to find Yondu's fin could be a whole film on it's own!

Cry,The beloved Country.1995 remake with James Earl Jones and Richard Harris .Powerful film.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Hounds of Love - a young girl is kidnapped by two pyschopaths in 1980s Perth....good, but a very hard watch. 7/10
