What film did you watch last night?

[AndyRM]

Junk Head - 9/10

Ticks a lot of my boxes: stop motion, apocalyptic, Japanese, subversive... it's a thing of incredible effort and the love which has gone into it's 5 years of production is obvious. See it.

The Hitman's Bodyguard just in on Netflix - starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L Jackson.

Also stars Gary Oldman as an eastern European badman, Salma Hayek as a bit of eye candy when the plot slows down, Elodie Yung as the wronged ex and hundreds of baddies as cannon fodder.

Mindless and derivative but passes the time away well enough for me.

Samuel L's dialogue is Jules+++

War for the Planet of the Apes... if you like this franchise, you should like this third instalment. If you liked Watership Down, this is the remake, with monkeys... it's even got Keehaw!

Valerian, City of a Thousand Planets.
All the way through I was thinking...this is soooo Fifth Element. No wonder, Luc Besson directed both...which I found out while reading the reviews.after I'd watched it.

It doesn' have the humour of Fifth, but the CGI is really quite good, very good. The creatures, the surroundings, everything fitted. Valerians character was a tad annoying but hey...

I hasn' been received particually but for what it was, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

trust you didn't get sucked into the debate on the black and white bits.

Wouldn't mind seeing it again.

I did read what IMDB said.

Under Siege II - Dark Territory.

Really dragging this one out for all it's worth. Awful weapons drills alone saddle this dire piece of formulaic tat with a...

2/10.

Just popped in on my daughters on the way home from work and Waynes World is playing.
I NEVER understood the appeal, that and Dumb and Dumber, base humour...if you can even call it that.
Utter drivel.

You miserable thing - Wayne's world is just a joy from start to finish - worth seeing for just the head banging to Bohemian Rhapsody scene alone - how can that not bring a smile to anyone ?- quite apart from conflating it with dumb and dumber which is a different film entirely.

Sadly, daughter & I never got the chance to see either of these at the cinema, so I bought them today
She, like many teenage girls has a thing for Chris Hemsworth, I'm hoping Jaimie Alexander is in it, as the Lady Sif

Whilst quite sceptical about the casting of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, compared to Christian Bale, I'm growing to like him in the role

Could be a dad/daughter 'cinema evening'?

We watched 'Ragnarok', but wife & daughter are on holiday this week, so post work, I'm watching Justice League over a couple of evenings

At the risk of raising the tone and / or arti pretension, we went to see Ingmar Bregman's "Persona". An actress played by Liv Ulman has had some kind of nervous breakdown and refuses to speak, and is cared for by Bibbi Anderson playing a nurse. Somehow their characters merge (or something) and various intense emotional scenes are explored. I found it rather beautiful and compelling and both the leads are outstanding, especially as Liv Ullman basically doesn't speak and Bibbi is left to do all the speaking for both of them.

It is very much an arty film and won't be for everyone. I can't quite make up my mind about Bergman but did enjoy the oft parodied Seventh Seal, but gave up on one or two others. I thought Persona was good though and well worth the effort even if you're not totally clear on what it was actually about.

I finished it off
Quite interesting, in parts, & teasers for (possible) future films
It all seemed to end quickly, after Steppenwolf was 'teleported' back

I think, I may stick to the Animated series

Full Metal Jacket: 9.5/10 seen it a lot of times, superb, my favourite nam film.

Paper Moon: 9/ 10 from way back in 1973, seen this several times too, its a class film, Tatum O'Neal is the best child actor I've seen, in that film.
