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.

Watched The Ice road with liam neeson in it last night it was alright but nowt really special 5/10

Bit random but just watched Adventures Of A Plumber's Mate on Prime. I know they were just an excuse to show a bit of fanny but how they passed as comedy even back then is unbelievable.

Are they similar to the 'Confessions' films with Robin Askwith?

Standard Neeson then?

Have to agree with the suicide squad film. Its on in the background whilst I fuck about on my phone and what I can see of it, it's shite. 

Gonna give Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) a whirl next

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11422728/

Two shit films save you waisting you time 

The Birthday Cake 

Shadow in the Cloud 

both 1/10

Sound of Metal. Dark. Riz Ahmed is good.

Watched a Disney animation recently with the Mrs called Soul. 
Not as iconic as something like Shrek but in terms of the “message” of the film, quite grown up.

Similar message to into the wild or American beauty.

Solid 7.5/10

The Hateful Eight turned it off part way through, horse shit.

I agree, it was poo.

Kurt Russell channeling shitbag John Wayne.

Michael Madsen is rubbish, apart from his fluke Mr. Blonde.

Yeah, overlong biz.

Don't Breathe - mediocre 5/10

Still not his worst film though, that honour has to go to Death Proof

The Good Liar with Ian McKellan and Helen Mirren. Top drawer stuff especially from the Bolton School old boy as an ageing conman.

Get out both of you. It’s only shit by Tarantinos standard but the bar is so high otherwise it’s a great film

And death proof is a fuckin brilliant grind house B movie fit birds, a killer, great car chases 

What more do you want you buncha queers 

Ill back QT to the hill, I’d rather watch death proof than any dog wank Christopher Nolan has spaffed half a billion on

Yeah it might look great Chris but what the fuck is going on

As I've got older I've realised QT is a bit covers band-y.

Hateful Eight is just above the piss-poor Kill Bill films, and Death-Proof.

They're a rarity (Kill Bill's) in that I've turned them off...

And this is from someone who's sat through 'Dead Man's Shoes' in its entirety.

Nah 

I rate his other stuff generally highly with Kill Bill top of the list 

That said have not seen Death Proof 

Agree about Nolan, except for Batman Begins

The Kill Bill films are ace.

As is Death Proof.

Sometimes you just have to enjoy a film for what it is without comparing to what you expected it to be.

Airplane last night. So shit but rolled around laughing  Close Encounters tonight

The Old Man and The Gun.

Robert Redford's swansong...

Meh  7/10.

He's not brown bread he retired.

Don't give this chump a statue, give him guts...

I can only recall; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Castle, sommat where he plays a frontiersman and The Sting...

In Stephen Fry's frankly shite autobiography, where he romances cocaine, he details how he met a collaborator of Redford's and asked what he was like...

The bloke questioned said "what would you be like if no-one had said 'no' to you for fifty years?"

Can’t wait for this

Kill Bills are superb.

If watching Uma Thurman get a beating then wrestling with Kim Basinger doesn't make your balls fizz, you are dead.

Kim Basinger's in it?

I missed that.

Y'mean Darryl Hannah?

I'm not much of a fan of actual martial art films, so some knowing pastiche/homage even less so...

Darryl Hannah. Same thing. Tall blonde that was present in my early wanking days.

Bottom lion, Uma Thurman. Yes.
