    Yeah I watched that a while back. Its the stock boxing story for the majority of it but Harris carries it and Winstone is surprisingly subdued.

    Just got back from seeing On Chesil Beach. It can basically be summed up by one phrase:

    'In the 1960s, two newlyweds have their lives forever altered by awkward British sex'.

    It's pretty good. Certainly better than Book Club, the only other thing on we hadn't already seen, would have been. Saoirse Ronan has had a nice few months with this & Ladybird.

    I liked Deadpool 2 better than the first one. I don't know why. It seemed to be less annoying than last time out, but Randrew thinks they went more that way, so I don't know. Maybe it was just a better story.

    Rampage is great fun. It's one of the dumbest films you'll ever see, but it's well aware of that.

    Has anyone seen the new Jurassic World? Wanted to go to the cinema tonight with the girlfriend, but looks like there's nothing particularly good on so wondered if that was at least an entertaining way to turn off the brain for a few hours.

    Saw it when it came out. It’s pretty good - imagine the last Jurassic World if you smashed a 90s disaster movie like Volcano into it.

    Lads, Calibre on Netflix is really fucking good. Keeps the tension throughout. The two leads carry it well, and has that whole backwater, Highlands vibe throughout.

    New stars wars was miles better than the last Jedi.

    Not sure I like the yearly Star Wars updates though.

    Ghostland (aka the film that disfigured an actress):

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6195094/

    Laugier's best since Martyrs. That's not to say its anything beyond serviceable as Martyrs is the first masterpiece of the genre since Angst. Mother and her two daughters move into the property left by their dead aunt only to be attacked the night they move in. Many years later the daughters reunite at the house and shit goes weird.

    Some wonderful brutality in places, two very good central performances, but in general it tries a bit too hard and never really hits any great heights. It was okay.

    I'm watching The Equalizer, which I've seen before and it isn't terrible, but it must have more scenes where an un-armed man confronts gun-toting hoodlums and emerges victorious than any other film ever.

    Yeah this is great. Tense and dark. Few little twists on the classic 'city slickers go to the sticks and it's all a bit weird' film. Some nice scenery as well.

    James Gunn has been sacked from the third Guardians of the Galaxy film because someone dug up some old tweets in which he made a couple of off colour jokes.

    The bloke wrote and directed a film in which a character is pretty much sexually assaulted and it's played entirely for laughs. His sense of humour is no secret.

    I need to revisit it to see if the wedding drags like I felt it did the first time. I loved it but I feel like that scene took the first 45 minutes.

    Nah it doesn't drag anywhere near as much, and its quite a pivotal scene in establishing Brando.

    On a more practical level, those films - whether you like them or not (I do) - have a pretty unique look and feel amongst the others, so the next person will either have to just rip them off or risk ballsing it up.

    Just flicked on Phantom Menace as there's nothing much on & I can't remember which of that trilogy I've seen. It's not very good, is it?

    Nobody can deliver a line or choreograph a fight scene convincingly, and of course there's JarJar, although at the minute there's an Italian/Iranian fly who's actually managing to be even more grating.

    I gave up & flicked aimlessly through Netflix for 45mins while my housemate had dinner. Probably didn’t miss out on much.

    Watched Patriot's Day yesterday. It's all really good and shows what happened from the viewpoints of the various real people involved, but then goes a bit mad as Mark Wahlberg's fictional character stops with all the wicked frickin pissa muddafucka Boston police stuff and launches a soliloquy about love conquering hate and that which takes you completely out of the story.

    Saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom the other week and whilst I did find it a bit more entertaining than the first, the 'plot' is a worse.

    Also went to see Incredibles 2 yesterday and again, I do feel the plot was better than the first (the antagonist is crap really) but it was a more entertaining film. I'd imagine that quite a few would disagree because most of that is because of the Jack Jack. If the humour in the baby isn't for you I'd imagine you'd dislike the film as a whole.

    I also liked the short before the film and I really don't get how some people didn't understand what was happening, it wasn't hard to follow at all.

    High Fidelity, still fucking brilliant. Absolutely timeless as long as you're born before 1990. I'm not normally a big Zeta-Jones person but I'm rock solid every moment she's on screen in that.

    Watched Unlocked yesterday which was kind of alright. Very odd film.

    It was like it was trying to be a proper Spy film, Political commentary (sort of à la Homeland) and Jason Bourne all at once. Because in the end it seemed to lean more towards the latter, they should have just embraced being a Spy action film and done away with the more serious scenes of Kids dying and what not, as it all felt a a tad out of place and maybe tasteless juxtaposed to the fairly entertaining action.

    Noomi Rapace really is quite hit and miss these days. Her English somehow got worse.

    Anyway, for all this it was still quite decent.

    I enjoyed Incredibles 2. Could have done without the villain being given away the moment you hear their name but it was largely very good fun.

    The Oscars are bringing in a second best picture category, this one named 'Best Popular Film' and presumably about picking which is the best of the five highest grossing films that year.

    They're not doing it to bring more attention to The Avengers. They're doing it to bring more attention to The Oscars.

    You could probably take the last ten best picture winners combined and they won't have made as much money as The Avengers. That's a problem for the Academy and this is their solution.

    The new Spike Lee movie is getting good reviews but Spike Lee hasn't made a good movie since the early 2000s so I'm struggling to believe them.
