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.

Reminds me of a brilliant trailer for an as yet unmade movie I think called Handjob Cabin, where a group of randy teens spend a weekend in an isolated shack and are wanked to death by the ghost of a woman who accidentally died during of a five fingered shuffle related fatality. 

 

that sounds like the entity , where barbara hershey is stalked and raped by a ghost. (spoilers) some ghostbusters from a university build a giant set of her house in the uni to coax it out and they freeze it with liquid hydrogen.. its fucking massive (like town hall sized massive) but gets away.. 

some time after , she goes home and it calls her the c-word while greeting her .

comes off like a The Exorcist rip off. is supposedly a true story, but i couldnt get the fact that liquid hydrogen is flamable out of my mind. its straightfaced as owt too.

The new Tom Hank’s film with Apple, Greyhound.

Solid 7/10, if anything it was a little too short @ 90 mins.

Just Mercy - a week or so back. 8/10.

Really enjoyed it and based on a true story.

Watched a film called Brian Banks, a young American NFL player wrongly accused of rape who lost 11 years of his life, true life story, very good watch, cameo appearances by Samuel L Jackson

You spelt Morgan Freeman wrong 😉

JoJo Rabbit is good

The guy who plays Hitler is very funny

Well, I've just discovered 

Sorry we missed you  is free on prime

Gonna be a late one

Absolutely flew by

Grabbed me by the bollocks and didnt let go

Conservatuvewoman wont like it, but all the better for that

And what a job the girl who played abby did

continuing the cheerful theme, i daniel blake

If that is even 50% accurate, theres folk who want putting against the wall

Disgraceful

^ Two great films them.  

IDB did attract a few critics that said it wasn't wholly accurate but it definitely reflected the lives of a few people I've worked with in the past.

SWMY - seemed a little hammy at first, I thought but by the end I was proper gripped.  Shame he was a red but I did laugh at that exchange he had with the Newcastle fan

should I track any more down

I'm even tempted by the Cantona one that Mr pink recommended

I guess its cheaper than paying someone to thrash you? Most masochists keep their hobbies private, I can only commend you on the open way you live your life.

I can't face that level of misery so tonight I skipped Loach and watched Midway, also on Prime. It's 2 hours of daring do, interspersed with over the top CGI recreations of the naval battles of the Pacific War. If you like old fashioned war films I think you'll like this one. There's not much in the way of social commentary, but there's some death and misery amidst the heroics. 

 

 

 

 

The last black man in San Francisco

6/10 at best 

Was just a bit too arty for my liking 

Knives out.

7/10 decent 

Internet died so I was watching normal TV yesterday ended up watching The Ritual on Film4. 

Christ, I don't how I coped before streaming. Adverts every 20 minutes. It's too much like hard work.

3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. On Ch4 now. Heard good things about it so I'm giving it a whirl.

Remember it briefly, as I last watched it many many years ago. You're right it came across as an Exorcist rip off, but still a lot better than the official sequel to the 1973 horror classic.
