Killers of the flower moon: 3+ hours of repetitive shite, in my humble opinion! We were wedged in the middle of a row, if I was on the end I would have walked out at 2 hours…. Critics loved it but not for me..! https://www.theguardian.com/film/20...bert-de-niro-leonardo-dicaprio-lily-gladstone
I think film critics should be totally ignored. I remember years ago there was a film called Brokeback Mountain which the film critics raved about and it got great publicity. I have never met anyone who has seen the film.
I saw Killers of the Flower Moon yesterday afternoon, the first bit puzzled me, but once I understood what was happening I enjoyed it. The Indian heroine Molly was played by Lily Gladstone who is distantly related to Prime Minister Gladstone. However, I was on the end of a row in a nearly empty theatre.
Watched an old favourite of mine (again), Twelve Angry Men (the original 1957 Sidney Lumet version). Proof that you don't need fancy locations, expensive film sets or CGI to make an iconic film, just powerful performances from great actors.
“The Motorcycle Diaries.” Great road movie about a young Che Guevara. If you’ve not seen it, it’s well worth tracking it down.,
Currently watching "Lucky", the serialised story of Bernie Ecclestone, from his humble racing beginnings to F1 supremo in an era which is a far cry from the jazzed up debacle which is F1 today. Some fascinating racing footage and interviews with past greats of the sport and the sad tragic end that met many of them at a time when fatalities were almost an accepted part of racing, plus an insight into the battles between FISA and FOCA. Modern F1 doesn't really interest me but this is a great watch for classic racing fans.
"Locke", a psychological drama with only one actor, Tom Hardy with the voices of others during telephone conversations and set entirely in a car during a journey home or ?. No big budget/exotic locations here but a great watch nonetheless.
Aporia... Interesting. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=5469...MjMvMDgvMDkvYXBvcmlhLW1vdmllLXJldmlldy8&ntb=1
Crazy on the Outside. A harmless but entertaining little flick from Buzz Lightyear 2010. It popped up and I gave it a watch. Better than most of the crud that's being released these days.
"Terminal" Will probably watch it again{s} https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=0556...1dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1QMUxVX000cUw5dw&ntb=1
We've gotten on a "Let's watch all the Quentin Tarantino movies again" kick. It started off with Pulp Fiction on New Year's Eve and then Inglourious Basterds. Next up is probably The Hateful 8. Any of you Tarantino fans have a fave??
