Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

I'll have to give The Irishman another shot further down the line. It was late and I got up to the fight at the grocery shop - It looked fookin terrible 

 

Is the film filled with that type of shit?

No, not at all.

If Tom Hanks hadn’t found them then he wouldn’t have been able to score the second goal for Rochdale today. Bastard. 

Once upon a time in Hollywood - I get the usual Tarantino slow build up, but felt myself nodding off when as usual all hell broke loose. Ill give it another bash, but it didn’t feel like one of his best efforts.

One of my favourite directors Tarantino but people’s opinions on this one put me off a little, but people said the same with the Hateful Eight but that’s a slow burner and I love it

Tough gig to get much depth when there’s only two of them on screen. No chance of any sub plots etc. Almost seemed to be lacking a sense of danger, even at the end.

As you say they did a good job of it visually, especially as they must have spunked a load of the budget on Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch and Colin Firth for a combined total of about 90 seconds.

Kill Bill was peak Tarantino for me.

I think part of his genius is the way he splits opinion. He does seem to mix it up a bit.

 

Watched reservoir dogs for maybe 40 mins turned it off as wasn’t for me and  have never watched any of his other films

He did manage to deliver the note all in tact. Despite floating down a river only shortly before ☺️

Shouldve tried kill bill or basterds

Should’ve tried Pulp Fiction. If you don’t like that you need to have a serious word with yourself.

Yeah I did wonder about that. Some seriously strong ink knocking about.

Jules as a fellow Jedi, how are the latest Star Wars?

Our Maude has never seen them so we watched the original three and she loved them and wants to watch the rest, do they get better after the jar jar binks era?

Sadly not for me.

TWA was ok but essentially a rehash

TLJ utter utter wank. Ruined the lot

TROS is an ok standalone but it’s too rushed and was an attempt to patch up TLJ

Rogue One is by far the best of  the recent ones
