Tower of shite, more like. Awful. I didn't mind it, actually. I'm sure it's a terrible adaptation but it was a breezy enough 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 Just saw Yesterday. Typical Richard Curtis fan. Far too predictable and found it average. In terms of music films, it’s no Rocketman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 The Dead Don't Die is one of the biggest disappointments this year. Given the cast and Jim Jarmusch's recent output, I was willing this film to be good, but it never gets going at all and is a bit of a slog. It's a lot of deadpan piss takes on the tired genre that may be clever but are never as funny as they need to be. There is also a couple of 4th wall breaking gags that are clunky and not very good. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not bad in it for a first lead role. But it’s so fucking generic. And Ed Sheeran is a shit actor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 14, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 There are too many musicals and films about musicians around for my liking at the moment. Fucking La La Land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 16, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2019 The Dead Don't Die is pretty much what I expected from a Jim Jarmusch zombie film. It's just that the two things don't mix at all and it ends up being insubstantial as a whole. It's still funny though and the cast are brilliant. Stuber is a really enjoyable buddy cop film, as I expected. Shame they don't do more with Iko Uwais and Karen Gillan, but Big Dave is an absolute treasure and those rotters who booed him at that Royal Rumble deserve their letterboxes shitting through. Looking forward to seeing what @Scott Malbranque makes of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2019 How was Stuber compared to, say, The Hitman's Bodyguard which I felt was average after hearing a load of hype about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The Little Hours Fucking hell, what a mess of a film. A cast of Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Molly Shannon, Nick Offerman, John C Reilly, Jemima Kirke. What an absolute waste. I couldn’t work out what it was trying to do. I will sit through some shit and not mind (all those Netflix romcoms for instance) but I’m angry that I wasted 90 minutes on this. On a more positive note, I watched The Edge of Seventeen again and have decided it’s in my top 10 of all time. I just love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 17, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2019 Rewatched Atomic Blonde last night. It's still somewhat disappointing but quite enjoyable, it would be better without the constant needle drops and John le Carre plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing what @Scott Malbranque makes of it. You know me and my love for buddy cop flicks so well, boss. I really, thoroughly enjoyed it. I spent the guts of the flick smiling with childlike abandon, and I'd watch it a couple more times when I can watch it on my sofa, so job done. Not quite up to KKBB (obviously) or even The Hitmans Bodyguard standard, but far better than most buddy action comedies that have been circulating for the last two decades and the chemistry between Nanjiani and Big Dave was lovely. A few dialogue misfires aside (Although none by Big Dave. That man's comic timing is top shelf stuff), and I was conflicted about Iko Uwais - because I don't like seeing him as a baddy, yet he was very fucking good at it - Stuber gets a solid hord'n from me. Big D really is a fabulous specimen, isn't he? He can really elevate anything he's in these days. He was the one of the only good things about Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and I loved Final Score so much, I've watched it thrice. It's my go-to hangover movie. I haven't watched either Escape Plan sequel though. And I don't want to, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoyed Final Score, it was one of those actioners that definitely needed someone in the lead who was embracing how daft it was, and he definitely did. What I like about him as well is that he doesn't have action star ego, he doesn't mind being beaten up on screen unlike Seagal or Norris. I watched Escape Plan 2. I won't be watching 3.
