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.

Has anyone watched Jo Jo Rabbit? Heard some decent reviews.

Yeah, I enjoyed it although it struck a fine balance between being a bit too light hearted given the subject matter. 

Uncut Gems. It'll be on Netflix by the 31st but it's worth seeking out. Stressed me out just sat there watching.

Just watched the keeper

Knew trauttman was a german pow, but never knew much beyond that

Lovely story.....well most of it

Did you recognise the bird in it?

Oh yes 

cracking accent she pulled off

married 3 times it seems, was herr trauttman

Big let down with 1917, really expected better with all the hype.

Watched Being Frank -The Chris Sievey Story last night. Fantastic, it really was.

Just finished the film "Abandoned". Completely new story to me, even though it happened a few years ago.

Absolutely fascinating, well worth a watch.

You’ve prompted me to go down a Wiki rabbit hole and it turns out Trautman’s PoW camp in Ashton-in-Makerfield is now the site of my lad’s school. 

Once upon a time in Hollywood 

I was very underwhelmed. Visually it’s superb, the dialogue is exceptional as it always is with Tarantino but I just felt the story was a bit poor, there’s no real direction and so much stuff not necessary to it, and a bit patchwork at times. 
 

Not my favourite Tarantino by any stretch, maybe it needs a second watch. 
Wouldn’t surprise me if it goes and picks up Best picture at the Oscars though.

Aye, great recommendation  for Gomorrah the series, absolutely fantastic.

The Joker; watchable, but messy, doesn’t hang together well.

I thought the same, very average. 

Watched Uncut Gems on Netflix the other day, quite a good film and worth watching.

Watched it last night. I prefer Kane’s review. Stressed the wife out and she went to do something else. It’s full on in your face stuff. His bit on the side was quite nice though.

His bit on the side was very impressive, her arse was amazing, those suspenders, fooking hell!

75% through this. Good watch. Randomly one of my clients is in it as an old school mate. (converse on the sofa). 
 

Anyone found an English subtitled 'The Immortal' yet? No luck here.

Tried a few apps, all advertising it but no links. 

Will watch out for that Gomorrah film. Saw the film for Deadwood the other week, enjoyed it but was probably expecting too much the series was fantastic.

Oh and i am not watching another fuckin super hero film or star wars (apart from original 3 ) again. Lifes too short, that Shazam was utter shite and Last Jedi just a re hash of all the other shenanigans.

1917 at IMAX was absolutely fantastic. First film ive really enjoyed all way thru since Dunkirk & 3 Billboards.
