Films you've watched recently.

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Love Film has shut down today - last film I have to watch is Captain Phillips which I'm looking forward to.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

The "new" Blade Runner;- well folks for me a 6 or 7/10.
Sort of old Blade Runner + Matrix + Total Recall + Terminator mixed up and amalgamated re-hash.
As long as watchers don't have high high expectations then OK but it ain't a classic.

The more I think about it, the more I think it's only going to appeal to disciples of the original - very hard to follow otherwise.

Thor: Ragnarok. Very different to the first two Thor movies (the ugly step children of the marvel universe), much closer to Guardians in tone & look. Action packed, moves fast, VERY funny, excellent performances all round, Blanchett's Hella is one of the best marvel villains, Thor & Loki's relationship gets a satisfying conclusion. Great fun, and possibly in my top 5 Marvel movies. 9/10

Yeah, agree with all of that. A tagline I've seen floated about is "Asgardians of the Galaxy". It feels like they've taken Thor and rebooted it using GotG as a template.

Saw Hitchcock's Frenzy again last night.Probably my favourite of his last films.Love the (old) Covent Garden (fruit and veg market) scenes.

Two good films yesterday - It - best Stephen King adaption since Misery? Long old film, but never dragged. 9/10

And rewatched The Iron Giant - one of my favourite animations ever! 10/10

 

[united we stand]

Jigsaw - 6. You know what you are getting as they are all very similar. This is nearer the worst rather than the best of the films.

Murder on The Orient Express ,10/10 .

Also saw it on Sunday - 9/10 for me - great special effects and marvellous steam train!

Off to see Death of Stalin tonight

Murder on The Orient Express 7/10

I saw it on Friday.

Was ok and enjoyed the first half but have to admit was bored towards the end and thought the ending was disappointing.

The Journey with Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney and John Hurt.Worth seeing. |

 

[MK Shrimper]

Majorie Prime - holograms, dodgy memories and on the whole an excessively dulll film. It's had rave reviews, but it's so dull I switched it off. No score.

The Pianist the other night , true story .

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoyed The Bookshop by Isabel Coixet (Catalonia's finest filmaker) with Emily Mortimer and Bill Nighy.Wonderful old-fashioned piece of filmmaking.Look out for it when it gets a UK release.

Also saw Family Plot again last night.Saw Hitch's last film when it first came out back in the early 70's.Didn't much care for it then.Seeing it again now it's obviously a delicious black comedy.I must have been a shallow young man.:dunce:

Beauty and the Beast 7/10 and Moana 8/10 last night - had my daughter home to stay so we had a girly night!

Didn't like some of the camera work in B&TB and Emma Watson was too "Hermione" for me, I thought Moana was terrific though - lot of fun.
