What film did you watch last night?

[AndyRM]

I like Danny Dyer. Human Traffic, Football Factory, Severance, The Business and Straightheads are all really good. I also think it's very funny that he called his daughter Dani.

Anyway.

Went to see the new Candyman 6-10

Kind of batters you over the head with the racial aspect of things which isn't a problem. There are some very neat nods to the original (which I think is better), but it does reinvent the story in a pretty cool way.

Danny Dyer can only play Danny Dyer (same as Statham can only play Statham or Arnie can only play Arnie) which doesn't stop him from being very entertaining. My favourite movie of his is Goodbye Charlie Bright - criminally underrated coming of age story set in council estate.

"In his way, probably as good as Statham."

Hmmm, not a great statement ...

 

[AndyRM]

Statham is good fun, all those sorts of actors are enjoyable. You just need to accept them for what they do.

I like the way he does take himself too seriously, you can almost see him thinking, 'I know this is over the top nonsense, but at least it's a good laugh,' as he knocks out five bad guys in another carefully choreographed fight. 😂

Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood

Unusually, it was chosen by my wife who isn’t normally one to watch a Tarantino movie (with the exception of Pulp Fiction). I’m struggling to find adequate words to describe it but I think ‘dire’ sums it up for me.

Lumbering and meandering scenes, no depth, no humour, no drama, no tension, no character with whom to connect, generally boring, with a fight scene near the end that was Pythonesque.

I can’t think of a single redeeming feature, it was 2 hours and 40 minutes of utter guff.

0/10 Avoid.

(Yes, I know it got two Oscars and scores of other awards but you’ll never convince me it deserved anything but burning.)

My wife enjoyed it, the weirdo.

 

[stephec]

Last night was The Rise of The Kray's, whilst tonight was The Fall of The Kray's, both on Netflix.

They're both entertaining enough, but not really much different from all the other Kray films out there, for Mr Tom Hardy did it best.

6/10.

 

[silvervanplumberman]

The Green Knight, weird as ……and a bit trippy. Also long or it felt long.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

The Many Saints of Newark, Absolute brilliant, going to have to watch The Sopranos all over again.
