I watched Trumbo and Creed the other day. Trumbo was a good story and well made.
Really enjoyed Creed. They got the right balance on the realism fantasy spectrum and it wasn't overly clichéd. Although the final round of the fight was pure fantasy. Hopefully they do another with similar quality.
Waiting to see The Jungle Book.'mon my childhood nostalgia.
Yup. Worth every penny.
Embrace of the Serpent was fascinating, one of the best movies of last year. My Golden Days was pretty disappointing though.
The new Linklater movie looks fun.
I thought Jungle Book was pretty good, but I dunno what the fuck was with

Jungle Book is excellent. You all need to go and see it.
I think I'll pass on that one k thx.
Didn't have you down as a manchild.
You mean mancub?
At least Gervais is safe from the 'most tragic British sitcom film spin off of the year' award.
It was dreadful first time round, but I can't believe the will or the funding existed to get it off the ground as a movie, 20 years on.
I mean, look at it, just fucking look at it.
Is that Caitlyn Jenner?
I can't even bring myself to click that.
I thought Joanna Lumley might have been doing alright what with her appearance in Wolf of Wall Street but it turns out she has a recent entry on her CV called 'Gangsta Granny' featuring Rob Brydon and Miranda Hart, so no wonder she's going over old ground.
That's part of the tragedy, in that she's a pretty good actress.
The plot is they've killed Kate Moss?
Has Kermode done a review yet?
Of all shows I could never understand the popularity of 'ab fab'. It was fucking septic.
Not out until summer.
I'll sometimes stick one of the many playlists of his old reviews on Youtube on as background noise when I'm doing housework or something. I came across one the other day where he advocates kicking off the Cold War again because some Russian American co-production he'd seen was shite. He does have a talent for hyperbole.
The idea of it being a summer blockbuster makes it even better.
Is BBC Films funded in any part by the license fee? If so, we've all helped pay for it.
Indeed, I also couldn't stand Birds of a Feather although that might be due to Pauline Quirk.
David Jason needs to die before they pitch a film to him. BBC comedy writing is now just people falling over.
This Snowden movie looks HORRENDOUS
I thought Oliver Stone was supposed to be good? Everything of his I've watched recently has been complete garbage. Going through his IMDB, the last good movie he made was Any Given Sunday in 1999...
I used to think Oliver Stone was good as well. But you go back and watch his stuff, and it's terribly heavy-handed and simplistic.
Anyone seen Adaptation or Clerks?
I watched Clerks and, given that it's my sort of movie, I thought it was disappointing. But it wasn't a terrible way to pass an hour and a half and it might make you feel better about your own life situation.
What is that supposed to mean you little shit?
Also is the Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight trilogy worth watching? A part of me wants to watch it but the other part of me is adamant not to, funnily enough because I was thinking it would be the sort of soppy, pretentious shite you would like, Leo.
I like Clerks but it's aged quite badly and suffered from a lot of the better jokes either being quoted to death or having appeared in other things. There are some truly dreadful acting performances to lol at though, and that's always welcome.
Also getting High Fidelity and The Station Agent.
Original Karate Kid is on.
Adaptation is good.
Opted for the Station Agent. It's exactly the sort of film that appeals to me. Built up nicely so far.
So far?
So Civil War is actually decent.
Makes the Batman-Superman combo a little bit silly #moveoverdc
Yep Station Agent was really good. So simple but engaging and endearing characters developed really well. Recommended.
Saw Guardians of the Galaxy today. I might watch it again, because I suspect I wasn't really in the right mindset for it straight after watching the latest Game of Thrones episode. Anyway, on first viewing it just felt like a flat, disjointed mess. Also, it might just be nostalgia goggles on my part but I don't remember eighties/nineties cheesy blockbusters being as extremely try-hard (at least the ones that are commonly said to be good, like this one). Especially the raccoon and Batista's character, their supposedly funny one-liners just felt extremely forced most of the time. I'll probably give it another chance at some point, but there does seem to be something about the Marvel movies that really doesn't do it for me in general.
The Witch is really good - quite authentic period stuff which is fairly deep.
Downloaded it today, been looking forward to it for months.
Captain America Civil War was awesome.
Yep it was. So many people were claiming it was going to be another Avengers movie, but instead I'm glad they went down the route of less humour and more plot like The Winter Soldier. I'm still not sold on Vision and I don't like War Machine, but I was really impressed with Falcon and Black Panther.
Spider Man was a bit weird though.
I think Spiderman worked really well, they nailed what the character is all about.
Might be biased as I just watched it, but I think that was my favourite superhero film including the Nolan Batman's.

I agree with Zim on Vision, Black Panther and Falcon too.
It's set up beautifully for the next one but it holds massive weight in its own right.
Oh and I found Martin Freeman's accent really off putting at times.
Is it really better than Deadpool?
I'm a twit
I think so, it's got more to it than Deadpool.
The plot is solid.
Also, the feeling inside when Captain America was on screen in the same pair of sunglasses I haveChris Evans pulls them off better than me but still.
Yes it's better than Deadpool.
I think I've had Civil War unintentionally spoiled for me by my comic book nerd mate, way before the film was even public knowledge. He once spent literally two days talking me through it. Does sound like a pretty awesome story tbf, but I think I'll wait for it to be on tele.
I'm a twit
