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.

Rocketmon

7/10

Watchable but nothing special. Not a patch on Bohemian Rhapsody

Do you reckon the rocketman producers knew bohemian rhapsody was coming out when they started? 

Reminds me of the time deep impact and  Armageddon came out within a couple of months of each other

Why go watching another meteor film when I've just seen one?

Same goes for 70s rock bummers

You’d have thought they’d have got wind of it pretty early really. Mercury had a bit more of a story really and actually has an ending if that makes sense. This one was a lot more about the songs and choreography, which is probably down to Dexter Fletcher more than anything else, and even then I wouldn’t say it was as good as Sunshine on Leith on that front.

Never liked him since he played that annoying yank in press gang and got Julia Swalha

And he wasn’t a patch on Dominik Diamond on Gamesmaster.

Watched Dawn Wall the other week - 8/10

And then Free Solo this week - 9/10

Gripping stuff. The latter had me sweating like a good un.

Free Solo, utter, utter madness! Incredible climber.

Now, sunshine on Leith

That's a real film

John Wick 3. Probably best of the lot 

The Perfection on Netflix.

Decent enough. Bit weird, a bit like Get Out.

Stan and ollie

Coogan is fantastic, Reilly as well

 

 

Made To Be Broken - story of ultra marathon runner doing the Appalachian Trail. Was a decent watch. The trail looks like a great thing to do if you've a spare 3-4 months.

Think I'm gonna have to watch this now 😂

 

 

There's a new Chris Morris film due out this year, The Day Shall Come (sounds like a tepid metal band), it has totally passed me by.

Getting some lukewarm reviews, but will still give it a go.

Saw some videos of him introducing a showing of this on YouTube earlier though and it's shattered the illusion I had of him for the last 20 years of being a mysterious, abrasive recluse. He's a showbiz lovie!

Toy Story 4 turned out to be far better than I thought it might be when the initial trailers came out. Managed to hold it together as well compared to the third one. 

Brightburn, Evil superman kid, good film, amazed DC allowed it to be made

Easily. Was knackered by the end of it. Best film I've seen in ages for pure ridiculous entertainment. 

Went to see Godzilla last week. Fucking awful.

Watched this last night and loved it.

Brilliant idea and the way they took iconic scenes and fucked them right up was brilliant.

Just watched The Upside. Excellent and Bryan Cranston is superb.

If his surname was Ranston and not Cranston and he got caught up in #metoo accusations (British) newspapers could have the headline:

B.RANSTON IN A PICKLE

If 'Sir' Richard Branson was called Branston etc.

Sometimes it is reassuring to see that things haven't changed. Not so sure in your case Youri.

Have you ever considered Rambling as a pastime? You're a natural.

Surprised to read people liked Brightburn, thought it was crap. Then again, not a fan of comic book filums anyway.

Missus has broke her ankle, so whilst she's in hospital I'm watching all the shit she never fancied since we've been together. 

Watched Snatch, Moneyball and The Dirt yesterday, and enjoyed all thre. 

It was weird seeing now famous folk in early roles in Snatch; Stephen Graham's cockney accent is shocking!

Went to watch 'Yesterday' last night. As a Beatles-obsessive, one particular scene near the end brought a tear to the eye. It was ok I suppose, but would have been better without Ed fucking Sheeran.

The John Lennon scene?
