Brawl on Cell Block 99

Brutality squared. A lovely violent movie, the best of its kind this year. Vince Vaughn, shaved head and supernatural strength, makes a good case that he may actually be The Judge crossed over from Blood Meridian (considering the director's previous movie was a violent western, I wonder if there isn't some inspiration).

Knocked over a couple today, first day to chill for a little while

Who Took Johnny - true crime doc about the 80s kidnapping of Johnny Gosch (interestingly a lot of people think he was the first missing kid to go on a milk carton but he wasn't). This doco isn't brilliantly made or anything like that but it is an absolute must watch for how absolutely insane the real life story is, human trafficking, corruption at the highest levels and just all sorts of twists, seriously you couldn't screenwrite it better. Mandatory viewing for anyone with even a passing interest in crime stories 8/10

Pirates of the Carribean - Dead Men Tell No Tales - soft reboot of the series everyone knows, doesn't do anything different but opposed to the last two in the franchise this one is actually fun so you know, well done. Would be a good way to end a franchise that started blindingly well then lost itself, but alas they are doing another one 6.5/10

Loving - I'm not gonna jump on a high horse about how this is so poignant right now with the SSM debate going on but this film is a beautiful story, beautifully told and acted and done with a lot of care and consideration. It's very matter of fact and heavy going but if you can watch this and not see parallels and not feel this film I think you need a soul check. 8/10

The Da Vinci Code 7/10
1st Viewing, it took 2 sittings but got through it, very good movie, being non religious I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but it really was interesting and that score at the end by Hans Zimmer was EPIC.

Angels & Demons 8/10
1st Viewing, Fast paced, action packed, easy plot to follow. These movies remind me of the National Treasure movies which I enjoy as well.

Thoughts on kevin? Imo brutal and frustrating. Some scenes made me physically sick ie. Him biting his fingernails.

Very brutal movie. I wasn't a huge fan of the disjointed-ness of the narrative although I understand why they did it that way. Just think the pacing in the first two thirds was a bit too slow. Tilda Swinton is a gun, she absolutely nails it in this movie (and most movies really). It was interesting that it kinda portrayed it as her fault for him being so ****ed up.. like her aversion to having a baby, giving up her career etc ... did that manifest onto him in utero? During labour she was 'holding on' and then obviously after birth she didn't really have any love for him (and him being a tough baby made things worse). Did these things play a part in him turning out the way he did or was he just going to be ****ed up from the get go? Interesting to ponder. It definitely made me scared to have kids lol. Like fk, what if your kid turned out like that little ****er. Scary thought.
I didn't pick the ending at all (regarding the sister and the Dad, that was genuinely shocking to me). I didn't understand the part where Kevin starts being nice to her and being a dick to the Dad though. It happened and then the next scene he reverts back and it was totally unexplained. Also thought it was a bit shit how he couldn't explain his actions at the end (although this could be normal for psycho/sociopaths?) and that she still forgave him.

While slow at times (not a bad thing) the payoff for it's development is quite amazing. I loved this film from start to finish, fantastically done and about as violent as you're going to find in a film from time to time - horrifically realistic too. I'll never see Vince Vaughn the same after seeing this, hard to believe this is the guy from Dodgeball and Wedding Crashers (I've forgiven him for Psycho) this dude has serious range.

Easily the best action film since The Raid 2.

4/5
 
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D - meh, nothing new here. 5/10

Jawbone - very realistic drama about an alcoholic boxer trying to take back control of his life. 6/10

The Apartment (1996): Modern French classic. No wasted frames here. The direction is so stylish, seamless and seductive. It mirrors the cast and plot. 9/10

Blade Runner (1982): Gearing up for 2049 so went back and rewatched this classic. Pretty much has everything going for it with its story, visuals and soundtrack. Rutger Hauer was simply incredible in his performance here. 9/10
 
Rogue One - I really enjoyed this. For a Star Wars film it was actually well acted which surprised me. It was sad in the end too. I'd give it 7.5/10.
 
The Babysitter - cheeky little Netflix fair with a fairly impressive cast of up and comers (a real instafamous type crew) Samara Weaving, Bella Thorne, Robbie Amell and Hana Mae Lee. This is obviously a bit of an homage to the 80s slasher flick and its big, dumb, over the top glorious fun, everyone is on song but Samara Weaving and Robbie Amell particularly shine as do youngsters Judah Lewis and Emily Alyn Lind. This won't win any awards but I absolutely loved it in spite of its many obviously flaws 7.5/10

I pretty much agree with all that. Idk much about bow and arrows- but his method of killing all those students even caused a bit of amusement for me. Like surely someone could over power him and thus reduce his victims?? Unless he was up high/locked in some room shooting them. Idk, I just think his weapon should have been a gun to make it more chilling and realistic. I sensed he would kill the father and the kid but not her- it was his ulimate way to cause her pain. Otherwise why not just kill her as well? And yeah it was heart breaking the way she is keeping his room for him, etc, because he is all she has left. Just so sad.

IT- second viewing. More enjoyable than the first time- which was even in Gold Class. Here is why

1. Wasnt coughing and choking to death during this session
2. Dumb bitch in the back row wasnt there to completely ruin the first 20 mins due to over enthusiastic/loud chip packet rustling.
3. So therefore enjoyed the opening 20 mins a whole lot more and saw things i missed due to above bitch
4. 5 people in the cinema in total. Could hear a pin drop they were lovely, didnt utter a sound
5. It's IT.

:)



Omg me too.

1. Tipping other people in the cinema were hoping.
2. Bionic hearing to hear that over the coughing.
3. Hate speech?
4. Surely they all received a flower.

The last film I saw at the cinema was Dunkirk which I thought was OK but not as great as it was made out to be, Mark Rylance was the best thing about it.

The worst thing about it was my phone making this embarrassing loud beeping noise during one of the tensest scenes in the film, I switched my phone to mute so it wouldn't ring and normally it just vibrates if I get a text or call on mute but for some reason which it's never done before it started beeping.

I couldn't take it out of my pocket to see what the hell was going on as the noise would've been louder so I just kept it in my pocket to muffle the noise.

This beeping went on for longer than a ringtone too, it went on for a good few minutes which seemed like hours, even muffled other people could hear it.

Eventually to my relief it finally stopped but it ruined that scene for me and probably everyone else within earshot, totally took me out of 1940 Dunkirk.

It wasn't until I got out of the cinema I worked out what had happened, I must have somehow accidentally pocket dialed the Vodafone recharge number and the call got cut off so they tried to ring me back to see if I still wanted to recharge and being a Vodafone call it somehow overrode the mute function and started making this loud beeping noise which like I said has never happened before but of course happened for the only time when I was in a cinema.

I just thought I'd post that story to make Shell feel better about having a coughing fit in the cinema.

I wished I had rather than just put it on mute but the on off button on my iphone is really fiddly to use, you need like a pen or something to press it.

Turn your ****ing phone off. People can hear it vibrate. And what are you going to do if it vibrates? Distract everybody by typing in "Can't talk now at the movies lol"? And we can see you checking the time too assholes.

I haven't been to the cinemas since April in part because the last experience was awful. ****wit behind my left ear kept talking and the stupid bitch next to me's phone went off with a call and instead of quickly turning it off she spent about a minute typing in a ****ing message.

Lol idk why my posts were quoted in this.

But tbf to plugger it was an honest mistake- and it was on silent.

People who consistently do it tho, and type out messages in the cinema should be shot on site. So rude.

It wasn't a mistake he deliberately didn't turn it off.
