Sicario.

8/10

 

Benicio Del Toro is soo good in this, particularly towards the end.

Pretty much anything Denis Villeneuve touches as a director turns to gold.

Loved it. Haven’t seen it ages, may watch again now.

Dunkirk.

An absolute ****ing masterpiece. 

My Uncle was at Dunkirk with the 1/7 Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment so I've always been interested. Good film but upon reflection the 1958 film made by Leslie Norman (Barry's dad) is superior imo

Amazon Prime and mgm have re edited all the james bond posters taking out bond holding a gun 🙄

 

I guess the expect they want the audience to believe Bond kills the bad guys with his whit.

Taylor Sheridan really does know his stuff. 

Wind River never seems to get much fanfare but it’s an outstanding (and bleak) film.

Interestingly enough, this movie popped up in my FB feed today. Haven‘t seen it yet.

 

I‘m a sucker for good Natives stories.

 

Keen on a 4K Blu-ray release.

Tron: Ares is visually outstanding, with a fantastic NIN soundtrack (and Trent Reznor as an executive producer).

 

See it in 3D if you can.

 

Story is a bit lame, though.

And it‘s hard to empathize when there‘s a lack of a proper protagonist.

Anyone watched the old soviet stalker film? Supposed to be a masterpiece but whilst visually very good is in my opinion the dullest walk through an old factory with three dudes going. I read the book few years back and thats extremly good but the film has very little in connection. However it consistently gets fantastic reviews. Im convinced its a film people say they've seen but in truth haven't.

A title might help.

I saw 2 great films last week:

 

"I Swear": A dramatization of the life of John Davidson, a Scottish bloke with Tourette Syndrome from the 80s to the present. He's gone from facing appalling problems due to his condition (social rejection, family strife, legal charges, unemployment) to acceptance, regular work and doing great things to help others and spread awareness - earning him an MBE from the Queen. What's great about the film is that it successfully treads a fine line between worthiness and humour. It could easily have ended up being either another cheesy man-overcomes-problem feelgood story or entertainment getting cheap laughs. The scrapes he has gets into are often very funny, but it's black comedy. You're laughing with him, not at him. But it also gets across the serious traumas that a lack of understanding of the affliction can cause and how others can help sufferers alleviate them.

 

"Ellis Park": A highly original film loosely blending musical expression, animal rescue documentary and childhood/family relations/life growth themes. It's centred around Warren Ellis, intense violinist with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Dirty Three. It manages to span sections showing how music is composed/performed and what it means with childhood memories/relations with parents/personal change in life - and with his visit to the sanctuary for wild animals that he funds in Sumatra, including some insight into the horrors of the wild animal trade, the rescue & rehabilitation work done by the Ellis Park team etc. Ellis himself comes across as an unusually thoughtful, humble bloke and the individual themes are interesting in their own right - but the film as a whole somehow adds up to more than its individual parts, like a reminder of what really matters in life.

Stalker that's the name .....😁

Based on the book Roadside Picnic I believe (screenplay by the authors, Strugatsky’s brothers)

 

Acquired taste is the polite term. :)

Yes the books really good and highlights the huge dangers of the zone....the film.....hints at dangers but never shows any. Its literally three blokes walking through a factory with huge speeches about philosophy. I will say though that the cinematography IS very good. Ultimately though it claimed the life of the main star due to wading through highly toxic and polluted water and debris.
