    They're mostly good, and the Captain America sequels are really good.

    I love surveillance culture/ cold war intrigue and couldn't make it through the second one. That first one is genuinely one of the worst films I've seen in years.

    A Quiet Place with Emily Blunt and Jim Krasinski is wonderful.

    It maintains its tension throughout the entire film, and you become increasingly invested in the family. They're not used as a simple prop for horror.

    Better at the cincin where it has the potential to be ruined by noisy Islamics or can it be just as good at home?

    OK at least I got around to watching Thor: Ragnarok yesterday, which was pretty good I thought. Quite funny.

    I also realized I never watched the end of Age of Ultron, so I think something happened there with Hulk that I didn't quite get but apart from that it was a great film.


    Idriss Elba and Jeff Goldblum obviously bossed it.

    Were people raving about Icarus a while back? It's obviously an important issue and it's fairly interesting, but I'm not getting the acclaim. The story landed on the guy and his presentation of it is a bit bizarre. It's like he literally edited two documentaries into one. He probably shouldn't have bothered including a lot of his original stuff or taking up so much of the runtime with it.

    That's almost exactly what myself and Reg were saying. It's incredibly interesting but that's entirely down to the subject matter and the top level Russian operator he stumbled into.

    I thought the same about the originally planned documentary. He should have included some of it as background but you could easily lose two thirds of it.

    Yeah, there's a scene where probably 40 seconds is eaten up by his mate trying to find a charger for his laptop. No point in that.

    This is why you bang a few films out and then leave it for about six years.

    Saw the film this afternoon and enjoyed it a lot. Thanos is comfortably the best villain they've managed, which helps.

    Ghost Stories was very excellent. Dark, macabre, wry, funny and self-aware, and actually vaguely poignant too. Liked the oddball assortment of good Brit actors too. Weirdly devoid though of any female presence at all, that was a bit jarring in retrospect.

    Watched Red Sparrow this weekend and quite enjoyed it. The Russian accents they all put on are a little cringy, but at the same time I also find it a little wierd when people try to portray Russians with no accent at all (like in the Death of Stalin, which isn't comparable but still).

    Anyway, the film managed it's suspense quite well I thought. It had this weird style to it where it felt like it was set in the Cold War era but it was actually meant to be present day from what I gathered.

    Yeah, I got the same vibe from it, although I do wonder if that’s just what you get when you mix Russian accents & espionage thrillers regardless of what era they’re set in.

    Presumably Donald Trump lying about knowing that he paid off that porno actress. Kermode talking about Trump is the worst Kermode.

    That's what I suspected, but I hoped I'd missed an in joke instead as it's absolutely pathetic.

    Thanos was Marvels best villain, but Infinity War isn't any better than the rest of their output. Unfocused empty bombast for the most part.

    I first saw it when I was around 10. It resonated so bad and I've seen it countless times since. A hark back to simpler times, minus dead children of course.

    I watched Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation last night. It was good action-y fun as the series tends to be now (other than when Ghost Protocol shat itself for the last half hour or whatever.) The films are hammy enough that I approve of them adding Alec Baldwin to chomp some scenery.

    Can anyone remember a movie where some scientist put a mouse in a box, then exposed the box to some kind of weapon that usually kills everything but the mouse survived. The scientist was a black man but wasnt ving Rhames. Something to do with saving the world or creating some weapon to kill some alien or something. Not the best breakdown, i no.

    The only film I can think of with a mouse that should be dead being held by a someone a bit like Ving Rhames is The Green Mile, but he isn't a scientist and there's no weapon.

    The 15:17 to Paris is a fucking odd thing. It's based on real events, but rather than getting actors in to play them, they've got the three guys to play themselves, making it sort of half biopic and half reconstruction. Clint Eastwood must be senile to have thought that was a good idea.

    I appreciate the actual events which sounded quite heroic, but to make a film about it is just odd. And to watch it is even more odd.
