Phew, just watched BlackKkKlansman, absolute belter of a film.
That ending, there was a silence I’ve never heard before in our house, it will stay with me for a long time I’m sure.

Watched The Snowman, a whodunnit thriller. For this viewer, no thriller and I said who the killer was 10 mins into the film. It was poor.

I was disappointed by it.
Was expecting it to be good,but thought it was pretty average.

Saw it a the flicks, and experienced the same effect. The whole room was silent, pretty much so as we all left the room too.

Watched Burlesque on Saturday. Just a showcase for a VERY wooden Cher.
Bohemian Rhapsody. I loved it, properly loved it. I like Queen so I'm biased and I accept if you don't like their music then I doubt this will change your mind. If you like them however then go along and wallow in this film. It will remind you how good they were, particularly live.

Mrs BiM & I both loved it, and everyone I know who has seen it has been extremely complimentary, which makes me wonder why the critics gave it such a panning?
BiM, critics like dark, gritty, misery. They, no doubt, would have liked a film that showed more of the dark side, the physical decline as Freddie became ill. Heaven forbid that film goers could feel joy and pleasure out of a story rather than come out depressed. (Cynical, moi?) Kermode, on r5, actually bought into the joy of the film on Friday which surprised me. Rare for him.
Every so often a film does well via word of mouth despite the the critics. This is one of them. Power to the people, as a radical once said, one for older forumers

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.

To add if you haven't seen Wind River with Jeremy Renner and Elisabeth Olsen as leads, watch it, best film I've seen in a long while. Brutal in places but a great watch.

Last night, watched 22 July on Netflix (never heard of the film before)
about the Norwegian mass murder by Anders Breivik.
without giving much away, started well, quite graphic, but slowed a little..
worth a watch to be honest

Yea, it had such a huge media presence at the time and aftermath
Personally, I felt the film glamorised his political position, but it is worth a watch i think

this is a very good film, and based on a true event too.
