Finally got round to watching The Green Book, didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did but wow was I pleasantly surprised!

The Siege of Jadotsville was very good.

So, subtitles then? I'll give it a miss. I can't read when I'm also trying to see things!

Bold move from Warner Brothers - not sure if this is the UK or just the US but they're releasing all 17 films on their 2021 slate in cinemas and HBO Max on the same day:

 

 

 

I really hope it's a failure to be honest. I need the cinema to survive.

Watched Unhinged last night after the footy ..  gripping scary stuff with Russell Crowe looking very at home as an oversized psycho ..  pretty damn violent from beginning to end ..  so be warned .. I can see some being disturbed by it.

Same being dyslexic makes it hard to do both, but still wortg a watch

Calm with Horses is great.

Just watched Batman Returns, was absolutely shit.

 

I’ve only seen the Nolan ones and it’s not fair to compare a 1992 film to those but the whole thing was absolute dross.

 

This was meant to be the good one from Burton/Schumacher too.

If you find Batman Returns that objectionable, never under any circumstances watch Batman and Robin.

Watched Tenet at the weekend, brilliant film but you cannot take your eyes off the screen at anytime if you want to be able to follow what is going on

 

Definitely need to watch it again to fully understand the film

Footage of Tom Cruise going in on the crew:

I dont think it will matter how many people sign up for HBO Max - the studios still wont make the same type of money as if the movies were in theaters.

Especially on the occasional overperforming blockbuster.

Just watched that Tenet. Superb.

 

I'd absolutely no idea what was going on but it was excellent

Watching Knives Out. Ana De Armas is fit

Great film as well

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Uncut Gems. Quite liked it but found it a bit meandering at times. Without giving too much away was pretty shocked at what happened towards the end. 6/10

 

Ava. Pretty good, like a female John Wick but not quite as gratuitous with the violence. 7/10

 

Noelle. Standard Christmas film, predictable but not exactly terrible, not great either 4/10

 

Tenet. Seemed needlessly confusing to me, think Nolan might enjoy the smell of his own farts a bit too much, good spectacle and a proper big budget film but underwhelming. 5/10

 

The Invisible Man. Very tense, really good allegory for domestic abuse and very well done. 9/10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[The Bear]

Wonder Woman 84.

 

Load of shite. Miles worse than the first film. Basic plot was just about passable, but there was so much bizarre shite to make it all happen that it just falls apart when you think back about any of it. So much that it becomes laughably bad.

Just finished it too. It was good but I wouldn't go that far. Its no Toy Story.

It's OK. I didn't think it was either as clever or as funny as Inside Out (same director) whilst at the same time seeming infinitely more impressed with itself. 

 

I also can't imagine what it would have been like to sit down and watch it with your kids, expecting a typical Pixar family number

 

Liked the Richard Ayoade and Rachel House cameos though. 

 

Was a bit 7/10 for me.
