Atomic Blonde 3/5

 

Slick and stylish. Some great fight sequences. Fairly dragged on toward the end though. 

I turned this off about 15 minutes in. It was like a lame comedy, i thought it was supposed to be a female Bond?

She's a spy but she's more John Wick than Bond. I think the guy who choreographed it also done the first John Wick. No one in the whole film can shoot straight everything boils down to a knock down drag out brawl. 

 

Story should have just been a vehicle for the action; they tried to do too much with it imo, and the choreography is a bit hit and miss but the hits are pretty great. It's also got a very distinctive late 80's aesthetic that I enjoyed despite it being laid on a bit thick in places. Biggest gripe would be the run time. Was thirty minutes too long for what it is.

 

Not a classic by any stretch but certainly worth a watch.

The Death of Stalin

 

5/5

I love films that have a basis in historical fact, but take the piss out of it. Who cares about the accuracy?

 

[edit] I wish they’d do a series of webisodes featuring more Lord Sugar Stalin 

 

(up next: Vice)

The King (2019)

 

Theres nothing fundamentally wrong with this film, but it's just so generic. 

 

I like a bit of history so I rather enjoyed it, but theres nothing to recommend it over the countless other historical dramas out there.

 

3/5

 

The Angel of Auschwitz (2019)

 

A new film on Amazon Prime - ooh, this might be worth a look, right? Wrong.

 

Fucking hell this is up there with the worst films I have ever seen. Everything about it is appalling. The acting would shame a primary school nativity cast, the music is obtrusive, utterly unnecessary and almost comical, the sets are an embarrassment and overall it's a massively disrespectful film as I felt it made the whole shameful saga feel almost trivial.

 

A shout out to whoever they cast as Dr Mengele. Just wow. He would have stood out (in a bad way) if he appeared in Attack of the Clones.

 

I didn't finish this. Which is extremely rare, no matter how bad films usually are. I simply have no idea how productions which are this flawed are allowed to be released.

 

0/5

Climax (2018)  

 

A group of dancers have a party after a rehearsal, things start to get weird and it soon comes to light that the sangria they've all been drinking has been spiked.

 

Interesting and unpleasant in equal measure, both in terms of substance and style. Epic soundtrack. 

 

Gasper Noé/5 

 

It's on Netflix.

Sully 

 

The story was told in a much more elaborate and interesting way than I thought. Excellent performances and at just a little over 90 mins, it totally breezes by.

 

Ill give it 5 bags of popcorn out of 5. Plus two of those inflatable yellow life vests you get on a plane.

Rambo (the new-ish one but not the one in Mexico, the one in Burma).

1hr 20 something minutes of brutal gory carnage that includes an aging Rambo outrunning the blast wave of a World War II unexploded bomb and a final fifteen minute set piece of Rambo butchering half the adult population of Burma/Myanmar.

4/5

Love and a .45

 

A mostly forgotten 1994 road movie about a wanted couple heading to Mexico, starring the kid from the Shawshank Redemption, a very young Renée Zellweger, Jeffrey "Weyoun" Combs and a couple of surprising cameos from Jack Nance and Peter Fonda.

 

It's highly derivative of the Tarantino films of the era but it's still fun, if you enjoy quirky, low budget 90s stuff and it was a treat to see a couple of the Empire Records cast working together before they made that film the following year. One extra point has been added to my rating for this fine, fine scene, in which Rory Cochrane's breakfast goes badly:

 

Spoiler

 

 

3/5.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension - 5/5

 

OK, I'm biased because I love this film to bits, but the SE Blu-Ray was on cheap and I still spotted stuff I had never seen.  So much of this film is in the background audio or set dressing.  Anyway, it occurred to me, that WD Richter made Joss Whedon does Guardians of the Galaxy on a tiny budget, without CGI and 30 years too early.  What was a totally out there film in 1984 is very normal in the comic-book adaptation saturated world of 2019.

Catch up. 

 

The Dead Don't Die - 1/5 - Shite. Far too much of it simply didn't go anywhere, and it didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. 

 

Dark Phoenix - 3/5 - Far better than I feared. Saying that, some of the acting was complete bollocks. Fortunately, Fassbender exists. 

 

Brightburn - 3/5 - Daft but generally decent with some shocking moments that made us squirm more than expected. A nice change.

Vice/5

 

its like dick Cheney doing his impersonation of Christian bales batman.


Bush, Rummy, Powell and Rice.

 

Astonishing acting all round

 

The short runtime* still pack a lot in, and the stuff it covers... <chef-kiss> 
 

Not as funny as the death of Stalin, that’s for sure. Alfred Molina was good in it too.

*

Spoiler

the fake-out credits at the 50minute mark. Fucking brilliant.

 

i guesses who the narrator was about 30mins before hand.


AND a marvel avengers style post credits scene!

So, the new one or the one with the lady from Dexter?
