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.

Anyway. Tough day day today. Needed summat good to watch

good shout that 

New Netflix No1 Love and Monsters.

Totally pissed  on the whole Cloverfield,  Monsters franchise vibe . Avoid

Just discovered Hacksaw Ridge. I’d never heard of it. Fuck me what a film

Sound of Metal is superb (although sound of American straight edge hardcore would have been more appropriate)

Think it's gone now but Whiplash was on iPlayer recently, another good un featuring drumming.

Been trying to find some new sci fi type shit to watch and came across Vast Of Night yesterday, quite a good watch although maybe a bit style over substance really. 

Also watched summat called Blow The Man Down which seemed to have a bit of a following in the indie scene, not sure it was worth the effort.

softcore porn plot disguised as big think feminist revenge. think the most recent "black christmas" remake followed similar lines.

dont see why it got folk falling over it. 

"becky" is better. 

Two good films on one after another on freeview, at the moment it's Manhunter and after that The Krays

Without Remorse, latest Tom Clancy on Amazon Prime. Jack Ryan crossed with Call of Duty.

Watchable but Homeland has moved things on from Clancy's style.

Judas and The Black Messiah 

True story about Fred Hampton & The Black Panther party

8.5/10

Whiplash. Superb. 8.5/10

Last night's viewing was The Lincoln Lawyer & Gold, both with Matthew McConaughey.

He's a brilliant actor....

 

Read his book (Greenlights) recently. He's an interesting fella..

 

Just finished watching Corrupt aka Cop Killer or Order Of Death from 1983.

Overall not a bad thriller, but not a great one either. A low budget Italian film based on a decent book by Hugh Fleetwood.

John Lydon really holds his own as the bad guy acting wise, against his co-star Harvey Keitel, who along with De Niro and Pacino is probably one of the best actors of our generation.

Just watched Cape Fear for the first time. 

 

Fuck. 

Me. 

 

Recognise that bloke from the Warbies ad. He's alright

I assume you mean the remake with Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte and Juliette Lewis?, the original version from the 60s with Robert Mitchum is worth a watch too.

Another recommended Mitchum film is Night Of The Hunter, directed by acting legend Charles Laughton (Captain Bligh from Mutiny On The Bounty)

Nice bit of trivia, it's been donkeys years since I've seen either version of the film

My favourite Tarantino and a great soundtrack

Kill Bill 1&2 are his finest work.

And Uma Thurman. She could feed me my own turds.

Never got in with Volume 2 for some reason, volume 1 however is a classic.

My favourite Tarantino films are the obvious ones, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction

It’s just one film, only reason it wasn’t because no cinema Was showing a 4 hour film 

I’d have a hard time not having Django in my top 3 QT films 

Love these two scenes/soundtracks in a row
