What film did you watch last night?

[MontyVeda]

After numerous positive reports I finally got round to watching Bohemian Rhapsody last night. To say it was underwhelming would be a compliment. Downright bloody awful would be more accurate... not only does it feature the worst dialogue I've heard since The Phantom Menace and some really bad wigs, but what the feck was going on with Freddie's accent? Was that his accent or was it just some guy trying to speak coherently through an oversized denture?! Laugh out loud dire in places, however, the Live Aid scene was most excellent. I'll give it 2/10 for everything leading up to Live Aid and 8/10 for the Live Aid bit.

I've just watched Collateral Beauty.
Stars Will Smith, Edward Norton and Kate Winslet.
I can honestly say one of the best movies I've ever seen. Even Mr Soppyarse here had tears in his eyes at the end.
Definitely recommended.

Love it so much that I bought the three disc special edition.

47 Metres Down

Can't rate this as I gave up after 45 minutes of absolutely nothing happening. As a premise it is excellent, a shark viewing trip goes wrong, which should be harrowing but the tension just fizzles out and I genuinely didn't care about anyone. It probably doesn't help that I recently saw Jaws at the cinema, and Deep Blue Sea.

Angel Has Fallen.

Plot has more holes than my favourite Y fronts, acting more wooden than Ian Beale, dreadful weapons drills, no plot to speak of.

On the plus side, the Sig Sauer MCX feature very prominently, one of my favourite unit-marksman level weapons. Glock 17 Gen 4 and 23 also widely featured, despite the horrible fake movie "clicks" as they cock and de-cock (Glocks have no external hammer so cannot do this) Nevertheless, its not enough to lift this beyond...

3/10.

Hot Fuzz on Prime

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this, twice in the last month alone, and it still makes me giggle every time.

A boy a girl and a bike on (1949)
Talking pictures channel last night. This film has it all. Bike racing in Yorkshire, crime (a bike gets stolen), and a young Honor Blackman (with a broad northern accent) on a bike. Diana Dors is also in it .
The back projection during the racing is dodgy.
9/10. Not a cycle helmet to be seen.

Ronin, brilliant film, must watch Bullet again as I'm sure that the car chases are nowhere near as good.

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

The Man With Two Brains (1983) - When Steve Martin used to be funny. Still cracks me up...

Crawl - 5/10

Disappointingly un-scary creature feature, which I thought lacked suspense and coherent direction. I didn't care about any of the characters and generally wanted everyone to get eaten so it could all be over.

I sort of feel the director was knackered by a studio wanting to keep it on a 15 rating, so if an uncut version comes out I'll probably re-watch it.

Raid on Rommel.

What was Richard Burton thinking? Well, I'm actually sure I know what he was thinking when he read the paycheque.

2/10.
