Have you seen Donnie Brasco? It's one of his less spoken about movies but it's great. Which other ones haven't you seen? |

The Dig
There's a certain irony in getting Ralph Fiennes, with the silent 'l', to play Basil Brown here! Brown was the working-class man who discovered Sutton Hoo and never got the credit until recently for that fact because of his class, so getting a posh twat to play him seemed to undermine the very purpose of the film. In saying that, and despite having Johnny Flynn in it, and Mumford's wife too, it was less objectionable than I thought. Ken Stott is always enjoyable and Lily James might be a terrible actor, but she is a very attractive terrible actor! The fact my partner hates her seems to add to my attraction to her.  6/10 The Street I have wanted to watch this documentary for a while but I was aware it might bring up some emotions as I lived on the street in question, Hoxton St., and knew some of those involved. I cannot say I liked the place, nor the people, but the film brilliantly shows the extremes of wealth and poverty in one part of London and explains the misunderstandings that caused Brexit better than anything else has over the past five years! The hipster lad who turns up in one of the newly gentrified shops to see "what the sitch is" is one of the finest comedy characters in documentary history! Even if I suspect he was a plant. 9/10

Rialto - Terribly glum and depressing Irish film about a married closeted gay man who is dealing with the death of his father, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor performance aside it's a load of absolute sh*te 1/10
The Randomer - An Irish "comedy" movie about a 40 year old woman who wants a baby so sleeps with a load of randomers, a lot of questionable acting and pretty sh*te overall 3/10 Greenland - Disaster movie starring Gerard Butler and his terrible accent about a comet that's about to strike earth and end most of civilisation, decent watch and some good actions scenes 7/10

Unforgiven - Rewatch for the first time in far too long. A perfect Western. Clint, Gene, Richard Harris... Morgan Freeman. Magic.
The moment Munny takes a swig of whiskey, the fierce, cold blooded killer is back. The line delivered to Little Bill in the climax, legendary.

The Mauritanian - 7/10.
Best movie I've seen in a while. Tells the true story of someone wrongly detained in Guantanamo Bay for 14 years without charge.

Unforgiven subverted the genre. Clint Eastwood's character is a right bastard and Gene Hackman's character is, crudeness aside, a better person. Yet the viewer is conditioned to identify with Eastwood's character. A pivotal moment in the movie is when Eastwood ruminates on murdering women and children. What is Hackman shown to have done that approaches anything of that magnitude? He viciously beats Richard Harris's character. But Harris's character is nothing but a charlatan and a fraud. Another telling point in the narrative is when the annoying young chap who plays sidekick to Eastwood turns tail once he kills one of the antagonists and learns the scope of just who Eastwood really is. In hindsight, Morgan Freeman's Native American paramour really had his number with that lingering stare. I thought, scars or not, the lady who was stabbed at the start of the movie was the most beautiful woman in it.

Once Upon a Time in the West is the best Western of all time, but Unforgiven is a fantastic film. |

Watched Sound of Metal today as I'd heard good things about it.
Very clear to see why its been nominated for Best Picture amongst other at the Oscars. Really moving film, Riz Ahmed is brilliant. In terms of nominations I'd be very surprised if it doesn't at least win Best Sound and the editing in relation to the character coping with deafness is superb and really immerses you to how it feels (Not that I'd know of course but I thought it was well done).

Yeah, it's very good. It's also up on Prime for those that haven't seen it. With regard to the Oscars, I don't think it's in the running for the best film. I'd see that as being between The Father and Nomadland with my vote going to the former. I'd also give Anthony Hopkins the best actor award but I don't think he'll get it as sentimentality will probably win out.

Deadly Illusions- one of the girls from sex in the city stars in this absolute hape of sh*te. It was that bad I had to watch it all the way through and it got funnier with more gargle in me. Nothing made sense. It was like watching a porno but without the sex.
