Sex and drugs and Belgian beer, in Flemish accents as thick as phlegm.
Belgica, a sweary, sweaty bar of a film about the anarchic optimism only taut young skin can bear. The stench of dog crap and blocked toilets accompanying party music, chemicals and ruggedy, rooty brotherly love. In truth, escapist trash for those who wished they'd had such a youth instead of wasting their own. It’s not escapist. The brotherly love sours, exposing the fragility of lives grounded on and by delusion. Every sobering step towards the film’s old-dog ending makes you feel shallower, and that nagging hollowness is a reminder that turning down that job in the third sector, the one with the briefcase and the sandwich box, was perhaps not such a good career move after all.
Enjoy it while you can, kids. 6/10. NSFW!

Serious note: directed by Felix van Groeningen, of Broken Circle Breakdown fame, well regarded in some circles on this thread. And the specially commissioned soundtrack by Soulwax is available from all good streaming services.

An hour and 20 or so of overlapping origin stories (genuinely, the 20 minutes at the beginnng, in which Russell Crowe tits about with laser guns, giant dragonflies &c, one could have been skipped, I feel, as the hologram of Crowe repeats it barely 25 minutes later). One also has to wonder quite how necessary these expository segments are for characters this deeply embedded in popular culture.
Cavill isn't bad, Michael Shannon is slumming it (and sadly, isn't as good a Zod as Terence Stamp was in Superman II), Amy Adams is cruelly under written, with little of the spark she had in her luminous American Hustle role.
Which isn't to say that its all bad - there are some very impressive scenes, and striking visuals; when Cavill is allowed moments of stillness, he has flashes of Superman's decency, but the film is too noisy and tonally too dark for that to come across in anything more than flashes.

Air Force One. What a load of crap.

Tom Clancy adaptations take loads of money, people lap up that right-wing nonsense. It's a very silly film, and so is Patriot Games featuring the Sheffield branch of the IRA.

I started watching the first 10 minutes of "Night Train to Lisbon" last night. It seemed pretty good so I recorded it and watched it this morning.
Pretty decent although if probably not intellectual enough to appreciate some of the nuance
7/10

Sin City. Superb. A real one-off, reeking quality and confidence. 9/10. (Not one for the faint-hearted, mind.)
