Ooft, that was a tough watch. Don't think I've watched a film so viscerally horrifying since Irreversible. A genuinely harrowing watch at times. Brilliant, though.

9/10

Very very tough to watch and pretty disturbing, was thinking about it for a long long time afterwards :dread:

Utterly superb performance from the lead.

Yeah, she was great. The loathsome lieutenant character looked and acted a lot like Dominic Raab. Seems about right.

I absolutely loved that. The action was amazing and Margot Robbie is just awesome. Far, far better than I ever expected. So much fun.

I never saw that after disliking the first Suicide Squad so much, sounds like it may be worth a look at some point after all.

The Suicide Squad

Such fun. Third act is a bit overlong but Gunn is having a great time, endlessly subverting expectations. Very unexpected, gory, funny, and backed by a really charismatic cast. No need to have seem the horrible original. 4/5 for me

Yep, the third act being overlong was main criticism but everything else worked really well.

Is the suicide squad available to stream/on sky etc? I had a quick look last night but couldn't see it.

Papillon (2018) - 7/10

Papillon (2018) - 7/10

No, it's a theatrical release.

The first SS is on Netflix though....

Corazon de Leon

It's come up on HBO Max but sadly we're not in the US.

Space Jam 2 - 6/10. It's strawberry floating terrible but equally I was very nostalgic during it so it was probably cranked up a wee score or two because of that.

Guess I'll wait for the blu-ray. Madness not doing a digital release given the current situation.

It's streaming in America from next week so it'll be on various other websites pretty sharpish :shifty:

Im having a bit of a movie day and I’m watching some gooseberry fool called Grizzly Maze because it has a half decent cast and holy gooseberry fool it’s hilarious. They obviously wanted to keep the CGI and digital effects to a minimum which I can respect, but it results in so many strawberry floating hilariously unconvincing edits that it’s a genuine belly laugh.

I had no idea they remade this. Interesting book. Interesting allegations regarding the author as well.

Fear Street 1994 - 4/10 (possibly generous)

Thought this was pretty gooseberry fool to be honest. I didn't even finish it in the end as I paused it to have dinner, but then had no interest in carrying on afterwards. It just felt like a couple of bored college students wanted to make a film one day, wrote a script in 2 days after watching a few 90s horror films, and then got it green lit. It wasn't funny, it wasn't scary. It also seemed like it was aimed at kids at times...but was overly violent and had swearing. I really found the whole film oddly made.

Also, I didn't really see the point in the setting either. Just to compare with Stranger Things, the 80s world in that was brilliantly realised and was actually utilized in the story. If it wasn't for the constant playing of 90s music to remind us that it was actually set in the 90s, I would have assumed it was present day.

At least it's saved me watching the other two in the series.

Just caught ‘Sweetheart’ and that was a really weird watch.

On the one hand, having the opening 40mins or some essentially dialogue free, and the setting and the general plot etc made me think I was in for something inventive. Then in act 2 things happen where I’m assuming I meant to think wow maybe this gonna so something really interesting! And then at the start of act 3 I’m like ‘wow I genuinely don’t know how this will play out! I could be on board for something legit here!’

And then act 3 ends and I’m like ‘oh right. Soooo not gonna do anything interesting then? No? Cool.’

It’s a strip club of a movie. 90 mins of being teased into thinking you’re gonna get something awesome before the bouncer turns up and says ‘no, you want satisfaction go home and wank’.

Summer of Soul - 10/10

If you like 60s soul music, then you'll love this concert/documentary.

F9- 6/10
Didn't like it as much as the last 3 or 4 films in this franchise, but it was still pretty fun and I liked the set pieces. I have no idea where the franchise can go after this, but I look forward to finding out.

Gotti

John Travolta stars as New York mafia boss John Gotti. Not a bad film and Travolta gives a pretty good performance, but the whole movie just felt like it was edited to hell.

5/10

Odd Man Out 6/10- The set up was good & intriguing however the 2nd half has poor pacing and is a bit over the place. The Third Man is much better.

The Aviator - 5/10

I should have liked this, it was well filmed and well acted and is by no means, a bad movie in any way.

The fact that i actually fell asleep during it though, does say a lot (and the 170 minute running time meant the whole thing just felt way too dragged out).

Terminator: Dark Fate.

It was... Actually quite good?
After Genisys I was expecting it to be absolute dogshit.

But it was pretty much a remake of Judgement day, with more of a female cast.

And the feisty, short Columbian lady was real pretty and made me want a feisty, short Columbian girlfriend.
Madre de Dios :datass:
