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 really enjoyed it, had to be a different film to the original and it is. Found it piss funny in places and quite poignant in others, its about getting older and contemplating what you've done with your life, struck a chord for me.

Arrival. 8/10. Intriguing concept of time.

Split

 

Very good from James McAvoy

 

7.5/10

La La Land. 7.5/10. Enjoyable and good performances by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. However, for the first 20 minutes I wondered what the fuck I had come to see!

Went, reluctantly, with the wife on Friday to earn some brownie points so I could watch the football/cricket today.

The audience was 90% women with the remaining 10% blokes like me dragged along for whatever reason.

I actually really liked it.

Split....not bad, could have been a lot better tho, weird ending. Also watched Hidden Figures, which is excellent, about three coloured women in the early days of NASA.

Really enjoyed Hidden Figures. A good story.

 

Wife gave it 10/10

Watched Trainspotting 2 last night, thought it was a bit of a let down really, not a patch on the original. 6/10

 

The soundtrack, like the first one, is spot on though

 

Went to see it last night. Enjoyed it. But wasn't blown away. Some funny scenes.

 

Did Mrs Sweep get the strap-on out when you got home?

Loved the first but think this may have to be a renter rather than a popcorn chucker  

Tonight at 11 Film4

 

The WARRIORS

Sing. More adults than kids in the cinema and not one fuck was given. Great fun. 8/10

For cat lovers out there, A Street Cat Named Bob. I loved it, very nice touch right at the end too.

Started watching titanic again last night- lad has never seen it and he's interested in the history of it.

 

What I didn't remember though is what a fine pair on norks Kate winslet has. Proper curves.

One of my all time favourites her. And she looks superb in that film

Trainspotting 2

 

What a let down

 

Franko junior is played by zach clough

Watched the documentary by Aussie journalist Michael Ware re the Iraq War and the consequences.........................Only The Dead.

 

Ware was chosen by that twat Al-Zarqawi to convey his Jihad message to the West.

 

 

Very good viewing, well worth watching.

Arrival. Enjoyed it a lot.

 

The Founder. Cheesy but alright.

Money matters.... shite don't bother

The Magnificent Seven (new one). A not so magnificent 3/10.

Hakshaw ridge was very good 8.5/10

Lion 7/10. Fascinating true story, though a little slow.

Another one for Hacksaw Ridge

 

V good

 

And brutal

 

Fucking war

Just watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

That's 90 minutes I won't get back.

4/10

Hacksaw Ridge 9/10. No one does realism like Mel Gibson. Wife in tears at the end. Would have cleaned up at the oscars if it weren't Mel Gibson directing.

Though reading this seems Gibson recreated the ridge somewhat differently to what it was actually like

Interesting article.

 

Perhaps I should have wrote "No-one portrays the brutality of conflict or torture like Gibson". I liked the way he included the interviews with the US vets who fought there.

10 Cloverfield Lane.

 

Mentle.
