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.

Dunkirk. Really enjoyed it.

What's it about?

It's the second part in a Star Trek offshoot. Done Spock was fairly good.

What's it about?

That lad out of one direction's holiday to France.

Harry. He did alright in it to be fair.

 

Only reason the Mrs wanted to go is because it had him and Tom Hardy in it. #damp

Has Tom Hardy stopped mumbling yet?

Dunno he's too busy flaying planes for hours on end without any fuel.

Ah, didn't realise he was in it.

Harry styles is going to be massive

 

Proper massive

He was very good. Apparently got the gig without Nolan knowing who he was too. Dunno how true that is.

He certainly will be.

I doubt it's a popular view because of his x factor and boyband background but he's definitely got something

He's not from Bolton, he'll be reet!

Aye

 

Probably

Lad can sing, irrespective of where he came from.

The ladies like him and if he can act too, then fair play to him.

Baby Driver. Heard some good things about this so my expectations were high. Kermode, who I like, "loved it, loved it, loved it".

 

Very disappointing. Heat + Fast And Furious ~ La La Land = 4.9/10

Horrible Bosses. With the kids present.

Again. Think the last time we watched it they were with us!

Had to go make a brew when Jennifer was getting all dressed up in her gear.

Dunkirk at the pics. Belting.

He's not from Bolton, he'll be reet!

 

He's from Holmes Chapel and has done a lot to support the Freya Lewis who goes to the local school and was caught up in the Manchester Arena bombing.

He's seen by the locals as a good lad who remembers his roots.

Aye, his Mum used to work in an office the floor above there Mrs Jules works in Wilmslow and apparently he popped in and was a really nice lad according to all

Dunkirk. Ok. If I was to compare it to Private Ryan I would say Ryan is a far better film.

Finally got round to watching Lego Batman. Great movie. Lots of humor for adults and as good as The Lego Movie. Good for easy wind down viewing.

Just back from watching Dunkirk. Busiest cinema screening I've been to in a LONG time.

 

Thankfully somehow managed to avoid knowing Styles was in it, I only knew when Mrs mentioned it at the end. All the better for it as it meant I didn't have any prejudices about the acting, and fair fucks to him he was very good playing what in any other situation would be a very unlikeable character.

 

If comparing to Saving Private Ryan I'd say 107 minutes doesn't do it justice, but then again what possibly could? I did think more could have been done to emphasise the sheer scale of the operation though; I expected a lot more shots of thousands upon thousands of soldiers on the beach, but even doing the aerial shots it only looked like a few dozen at a time.

I also thought they under did the scale of the operation; and also the roll of the small boat fleet. But having googled for pictures of the actual Dunkirk evacuation it does seem that orderly queues, and not thousands of soldiers scattered all over the place, is actually the way it was. Still, the film wasn't a bad watch. Just not as good as I wanted it to be.
