I watched Triple Frontier last night. Was an okay movie. I find stories that frustrate me due to the greed and bad decision from the main protagonist I don’t enjoy so much, and this movie has that in spades. But it’s a good action romp if you need that fix.
Joined in for the second half of Peppermint. Fantastic power/revenge fantasy. Scratches the same kind of itch as The Crow / The Punisher / A Man Apart / Man on Fire.
i’ll just leave this here (the acting is not bad actually and could have been a great movie with a bit more polish
Knives Out. What a brilliant movie. It’s proper old-school whodunit. Dame Agatha would be proud.
I totally agree, it was very well done.
Ready or not is also very good.
And my 2 favourites was Ford vs ferrari and the art of racing in the rain
After researching 2019’s movie releases for my answer to this topic…
I went and watched Booksmart. It was great! Sortof like a Can’t Hardly Wait or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the turn of the decade.
Just got back from seeing 1917. WOW! Amazing movie!
Watched Midsommar and Ready Or Not.
Midsommar was crazy. Definitely not for everyone. I didn’t like the ending or the dialogue. Still, exquisitely made and Florence Pugh’s performance was just brilliant: 7/10.
Ready Or Not was thoroughly entertaining, but not quite what I was hoping for. Samara Weaving is my new favourite. Can’t wait for her team-up with Daniel Radcliffe in Guns Akimbo. 7/10
Also rewatched Deadpool while I was working on something mindless. Negasonic is my favourite secondary character in a superhero movie ever. I don’t think she would’ve worked so well in any other franchise, but within Deadpool she is just amazing. WHAM!/10
I watched Daddy’s Home 2.
While it had some comedy and lightheartedness about it, it wasn’t as great as the first one, which I thoroughly enjoyed. And damn, John Cena can’t act so that was the biggest let down for me.
It Chapter Two.
I don’t normally do horror movies, but Stephen King’s style works for me for some reason. 7/10.
Terminator Dark Fate. Pleasantly surprised
Went to go watch the new bad boys movie and it was awesome! Martin Lawrence really made this movie!
I watched 1917, and Holy hell it is bloody fantastic. Such a well made movie. I was in aw the entire time. So far my pick of the Oscar nominations.
Just watched 22 July. Based on the mass shooting that happened in Norway really good movie
I know right! Amazing piece of cinema!
Side note: did you know that one of the 2 main actors is Tommen Baratheon from Game of Thrones? It bugged me the whole time, he looked so familiar!
8/10 I loved this, I really like seeing Michael B Jordon in this kind of role. Very talented, Jamie Foxx also was impressive, his serious roles is why I like the guy, when he does his comedy he irritates me silly
1917 - I enjoyed it, but don’t love it - 7/10
Watched 6 Underground over the weekend; while it wasn’t bad it had a lot of ups and downs. The movie would increase action and suspense and continually drop it and go backto boring. Not a very well paced movie and was kinda boring to be honest.
6/10 I would say.
Jojo Rabbit. Sublime piece of film making. Funny, sad, poignant, bitingly satirical, beautifully shot and brilliantly acted. Very deserving of all its nominations and awards. Easy 9/10 from me.
Its been on my shortlist for a while, really need to watch this!
Rocketman
I know it was nominated for awards and stuff, but I found it thoroughly boring.
