Two things to say on this MB, I will watch the Irishman on Netflix as I won't have to sit through the whole 3 hours in one hit. Three hours is a bit long ! As for Le Mans '66, this has been SO overhyped on adverts on commercial radio I WILL NOT BE WATCHING IT !. I'm not a petrol head by nature...
Bit late but managed to get to see Joker last night with Mrs V. Not really my sort of film but Joaquin Phoenix puts in one heck of a performance, all twitches and tics and giggles as his life collapses around him. Managed to close my eyes in time to avoid the worst violence in the film thank...
Managed to see Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon Today with Mrs V, what a treat it turned out to be. I won't begin to explain the plot other than to say it lampoons, parodies and lightly takes the piss out of some of our most loved sci fi films and series. Great laughs from the off with that...
This will be the Third version according to a feature in The Gruaniad last week, this is the second and final Director's Cut. Not a big fan of trying to cash in by adding 20 minutes or cutting 20 minutes every 20 years or so.
Yes, I know the scene, it certainly seemed odd that's for sure ! our American Agent was certainly a stereotypical caricature but I didn't let it annoy me, lots of genuine laughs at times so it can be forgiven for the odd mistake.
Managed to catch Yesterday at the Marina this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyable it was too. The love story around it was a little wishy washy and predictable but the film had many laugh out loud moments and a few moments of genuine pathos. Himesh Patel has come a long way since EastEnders and...
Was thinking similar myself when I saw the previews of what is coming up.....not much by the look of it. I think after Stan and Ollie, Green Book and The Favourite ( not MY favourite) in quick succession we seem to be in a cultural desert for a while.
Saw Fighting with my Family today with Mrs V, pretty thin gruel, not much empathy with the characters and I dozed off a couple of times.
6.3
Judging by the previews of the next few films out, it looks like hard times ahead for a while.
I would say watch it, it won't convert anyone to become a human rights activist but shows how incredibly blinkered and ignorant they were. In a scene towards the end the main character is playing as part of a trio in a country house venue and although a couple of hundred people have come to...
Saw Green Book today with Mrs V, as mentioned above, great work by the two leads. Great watching their relationship develop as they both learned from each other as they toured the South. It was a little schmaltzy and stereotyped in places, especially towards the end but overall an enjoyable...
I think that it's hard not to get some grit in your eye watching this, a timely reminder of how wonderful their visual comedy was. Been looking at some of the classic Shorts tonight on YouTube, viewing them now in a different light after watching Stan and Ollie.
Saw Stan and Ollie with Mrs V today, very impressed with the performances and the script. It's essentially a love story that works on many levels with incredible performances by the two leads. The film has great moments of laughter and some very poignant moments with Stan and Ollies symbiotic...
