M (1931)- Story of a German town mobilizing to catch a child murderer. Very interesting foreshadowing of the group mindset towards a single goal that led to the Nazi's only 10 years later.

Kylo Ren being a deep and meaningful. Some very good scenes. A little long but the ending was great. Jarmuschy/10

Nazis took over in 1933.
Definitely some scary mob mentality scenes in there - considering probably half the people onscreen were either dead, dying or recovering from the trauna of war in short order.
Churchill (2017) 5/10
Fairly aimless telemovie-quality production pretending to be far more than it is.

Battle of the Sexes - quite a bit of fun and enjoyment in this one. Steve Carrell got quite a few chuckles out of me as usual and I thought Emma Stone played her part well. 7/10.

Wish Upon
Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman called this "so bad it's good" so I watched it. Can't say I found it as funny as they did. This may have been because they spoiled much of it in their brief review. It's a shitty PG-13 horror movie. Kevin Hanchard from The Expanse has a supporting role in it and Jerry O'Connell appears for about 90 seconds an hour into it (his role is uncredited...). Thankfully it all only goes 90 minutes. It feels like they filmed another 30-45 minutes so the studio probably realised it was awful and trimmed it to fit in extra showings.

I thought it was hands down one of the worst films I've seen this year. Loads of potential but severely poor dialogue and an annoying 2nd half really destroyed it for me.
Thought Billboards was fantastic. Really loved the ending too. Rockwell, Harrelson and McDormand were insanely good here.
I gotta check it out just for that line up if nothing else.

The Shape of Water
It's fine but I thought I was getting a romantic melodrama and instead I got a romantic E.T., which is just okay.
Sally Hawkins is incredible, as are Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Michael Shannon. The movie is gorgeously crafted and the make-up/CG used for the Fish Man is some of the most convincing I've seen since Ex Machina made me think they'd built an actual robot. But the film spends more time telling you it's super magical rather than actually convincing you on its own.
All the Money in the World
Makes a great companion piece with Tony Scott's Man on Fire in terms of highlighting the stylistic differences between the two Scott brothers.
I liked it but I'd rather have watched Man on Fire again. And if I wanted to watch a movie about how cultivating mass wealth disconnects you from your family and society, I could have just watched There Will Be Blood again.

Watch it
The added scenes and different ending from memory is a totally different film to the theatrical release.
Miss Sloane was fantastic. Great performance from Jessica Chastain.

Blade Runner 2049 - 9/10
Initially gave it a 7.5/10. Don't mind the length of the film now that I was made aware of it from the cinema experience and it being a Sunday.

Chaplin - 7/10
Downey Jnr gives a great performance.
What I took out of the film is how similiar the political landscape of the world is almost 100 years later in some regards. When you look at Hoovers beliefs as depicted in the film (i assume that is accurate) and Chaplins thoughts on U.S immigration policy and Douglas Fairbanks observation on the country as a whole, to paraphrase he says underneath everything the country is scared, it seems not much has changed.

To be fair I only gave it half an hour before I gave up but it just wasn't engaging at all. Maybe in the remaining time it gains traction and gets good but all I saw was a really slow moving coming of age formulaic movie of a teen getting her first awkward boyfriend, doesn't get along with her mother, dad is struggling with work and a young woman thinking about college and big dreams. Don't understand the hype at all.
Of the movies I have seen in the Best Picture running, I can't see how it measures up anywhere near to Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri or Get Out.
