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.

Same with the American versions of Ring, The Grudge etc, the Japanese originals are far superior and scarier.

I have to disagree on The Wing, the American version proper gave me the creeps and there's only the Blair Witch Project that's also done that

Re Green Genie, have you ever seen Irreversible? a bizarre French movie that'll have you potentially technicolour yawning in places.

The Grudge Jap version is the scariest film I’ve ever seen.

That's a very hard watch. Brutal.

 The Big Blue another great French film from Besson before Nikita and Leon.

It's ok, I guess given the cast I was expecting more though. It won't be one I'll be revisiting. 

Sorry, the ales, kicked in.. It was the Irish an I was reviewing 🙄

Go for it. Enjoyed it at the cinema when that was a thing. Turns out Hugh Grant is an ace actor outside of his usual role.

and Paddington 2!

He bummed Paddington Bear...*

At least it wasn't a dry bumming (he used vaseline).

Anyhow he was good in that too.

When I use Vaseline it’s to put new football boots and trainers on, makes them softer and doesn’t rip your feet apart, but the consistency does make me wonder if Vaseline is actually  good for bumming,  Shirley the ones on here who whiff of lavender can confirm or deny if Vaseline is a good lubricant. I’ll ask Little Whitt.

I couldn't possibly comment on its efficacy for such matters.

I do know it being mineral-based means it will compromise rubber johnnies.

I don't know either, and don't call me Shirley, :lol:!!!

Kajaki - true story of British soldiers out in Afghanistan. 100% on rotten tomatoes and keep your ears peeled for the wanderers link towards the end. 
 

*Netflix btw 

Just watched this. Very graphic, realistic take on the Kajaki land mines. Brought a tear to my eye on a number of occasions, no less than when he started singing the wanderers tune as he was led there. Just spent time researching, local lad from Breightmet and he’s achieved a lot since then, fantastic.

That’s good to know 👍🏼

Kajaki very good 8/10

These are the sort of lads that puts great in Britain 

Watched The Gentlemen the other night.

Quite enjoyed it, but FFS, how does him out of Sons of Anarchy keep getting big roles? His accent was as bad as it was in Green Street. I couldn't work out if he was supposed to be American, Irish, Welsh or Geordie.

I’d like to hear his actual accent. Everything I’ve seen him in he’s got a bad accent and is a poor actor

He must have something on some big cheeses in the film industry. He's woeful.
