Films

Was going to see Bohemian Rhapsody on Friday, but due to cricumstances, left it too late to get seats for any day over the weekend. Ended up going to see Venom instead. Despite being a Tom Hardy fan, it was not a film I was considering, but it was much better than I was expecting, and surprisingly enjoyable.
 
HID and i are just back from watching Bohemian Rhapsody and I really am not a film goer but loved the film. I think if you lived through the era then it's more likely you'd like it and add that I've seen Queen with Adam Lambert twice in the past year I thought it was a good attempt to portray the story
 
The Foreigner on netflix.

Bit of a hope for the best choice tbh but wow, really surprised to get a terrific political thriller/actioner with Jackie Chan in an odd role as a bombing victims father seeking justice and Pierce Brosnan as a scheming ex IRA man/now politician. Pace was excellent and a good plot too.

Saw this last night. Pleasantly surprised. :D

I went to see it and some small bloke kept standing up in front of the screen. So all I saw was a little silhouette of a man …..
 
Just watched Three Billboards on Sky Movies. Very good film indeed. And unfortunately there really are people like that in towns in America.
 
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Not bad, great special effects and a decent follow on, sets it up for a third in the series, probably a must for Harry Potter fans.

We saw it last night and we was pretty disappointed with it. Special effects were ok but thought the story was weak, too many flash backs and back stories and no focus at all on the Fantastic Beasts!

I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I went with my son who is, he understood all the flashbacks/stories etc, I didn’t have a clue:)
Like I put, it was more setting it up for future films.
 
Chose a film to watch on Saturday with the wife. Julia Roberts in it. A bit sweary and rude to say the least. I'm still paying for it now. (Wife hates that sort of thing, she scored it zero out of 10). I'm using Julia Roberts being in it as my defence.
 
Watched an old-ish film with the missus the other night, Meet Joe Black. My god was it boring. Dragged on for 3 hours, mostly due to large stretches of dialogue where people trail off and nothing was said. "But who are you?" *pause* "You know.." *pause* "But, you're..?" *pause* "Yes..." *pause*. For flip's sake get to the point.

There was basically no pay-off either, the moral of the story from the romantic side of things seemed to be that a woman will fall in love with literally anyone as long as they look like Brad Pitt.
 
Robin Hood. Just no, had some good action scenes, but the storyline is massively full of holes, the clothes are perfectly machine stitched and quite modern. Film set in medieval times.
Weird modern adaptation. Wait for it to be on Sky.
