[Spoiler Alert] Film reviews and ratings

The gentleman - Guy Ritchie going back to his roots with that, none of that rubbish King Arthur bollocks.

Decent watch, got some good laughs in it. Perfect amount of "*" used in dialogue.

 

Christmas with the Kranks
The Grinch ( any of them )
Jingle all the Way
Miracle on 34 Street ( both them )
Daddy's Home 2

 

Colin Farrell is amazing in that , steals the show from Matthew McCounaghay who I always love aswell

 

Colin Farrell is brilliant in this. Any scene he's in is all his, steals every scene.

 

The bit in the Cafe wa the wee neds tbh hes even good on * films

 

The Informer - 6

Was awrite through most of the film but thought the * ending spoiled it.

 

Enjoyed that I like big Kinnaman(sp) plus Anna de Armas , think they left it like that for a Sequel or something

 

Preferred The Informer from the 1930's, set during the Irish Wars (Independence/Civil) of the early 1920's.

And also Ruby Dee's adaptation of that which was perhaps even more powerfully conveyed in Uptight (1968), and incredibly timely following Martin Luther King's assassination.

Both of these are well worth checking out, if people are not familiar. There is a really good quality print of Uptight that can be found on youtube:

 

No Country for Old Men - 8.5

Watched it numerous times before but watched it right through again, love this film. Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, Kelly MacDonald, and Woody Harrelson all great in it, and Javier Bardem is brilliant, big creepy *.

 

Agree with all this... deserved a much better ending though.

 

I dunno man, I know what you mean but I wasn't expecting it to go that way, kept with the kinda weird atmosphere. Quite abrupt lol

 

Love that film too, watched '* or Highwater' the other night which isn't as good but is of a similar ilk to No country for old men.

 

I guess. To me it's a little like Shawshank Redemption in so much as it is the very, very end is the only flaw, and not going to let that failing detract from what otherwise is a superb piece of cinema, even if it sticks out more in NCFOM.

I really liked * or Highwater. Every inch the modern western. Great movie.

 

Might give it a bash the night if it's on my android box.

 

This looks a good laugh.

 

Tenet

Thought it was * quality. Probably only negative was the lead actor. I know he’s Denzel’s son but he’s a really poor actor man.

Opening scene was unreal. Might even top The Dark Knight opening also from Nolan.

 

* or High Water is a * brilliant film.

Directed by a Scot as well.

 

Same guy that directed Outlaw King, about Robert the Bruce.

The writer of HoHW, Taylor Sheridan is also really worth checking out. If you haven't already, highly recommend Wind River & the Sicario movies, especially the first one.

 

The scene at the border crossing gets me every time,intense bit of film making

 

I’ve mentioned Taylor Sheridan in here before.

* actor but unbelievable writer.
