Then my mate recommended it and fuck me, it's like Murphy has had amnesia since the 80's and now it's all come back to him. Great film. How hard do you think the director had to work to talk Eddie out of playing the role of his own mother? I Am Dolemite is tremendous. Probably the only Netflix film I've actively enjoyed rather than just tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted October 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2019 I decided against going to see Bruce last night, which I knew I'd regret. Pleased it's as good as I hoped. Anyway, Monos is one of the best films this year. While the themes and story are horrific, it is juxtaposed by some absolutely beautiful imagery. Some really good performance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asked what he wanted from the film (or something like that), and he said in that unmistakable voice, for you to go to see it with your gal, and then, towards the end, you hold hands. God, Bruce, my heart near exploded. Ah, that one got me too! He didn’t seem entirely comfortable during the Q&A - he rarely does in that environment - but that last answer was the perfect way to see the evening off. And even though it’s been front and centre, when he rattled off what he’s done in the last five years with the book, the Broadway turn, the album and the film, I realised how utterly spoilt we’ve been. He’s so magnetic with everything he does; the bloke could read the chippy tea menu and I’d be engrossed.

Divorced Dad Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm trying to find a showing of Western Stars in Scotland but it's proving virtually impossible. Found one showing at 7:30 on Monday and that's it. Wife can't make that showing though due to work commitments. Do I just go without her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted October 29, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yes... but after seeing Bruce and Patti together throughout it you’ll probably wish you didn’t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 30, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 Really enjoyed Dark Fate as well. Didn't think much of Natalia Reyes and if there's a sequel she will have to do a hell of a lot better, but Mackenzie Davis absolutely killed it. We've seen so many exciting female action stars made this decade that we've not built on, I hope her talents in this genre aren't wasted. The plane scene was fabulous and I really appreciated how Linda Hamilton and Arnie weren't just written in for nostalgia pops. They both had strong reasons to be here. Really good stuff.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted October 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2019 My immediate reaction to Good Boys is it's the best studio comedy in years. I pretty much laughed at every line. There's something spectacularly well observed about Everyone knows your mom plagiarized her cookbook! as a 2019 insult between kids.

SuperBacon Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 My Name Is Joe Another that I can’t remember whether I’ve seen or not and I bloody loved it, despite not understanding a single word of what was said. Nice Germany tops too. Summer Of Love Not my choice, but better than the usual Amazon Original gumph and Joey King is fairly talented at what she does (The Kissing Booth was watchable) and there was real heart in the story, and the performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked tickets for a 10pm showing towards the end of its run. Woke up that night on my kids bedroom floor, storybook still in hand, at 10:15. Furious lads. Furious.

Should be right up my street but the whole movie just felt off to me, or maybe I'm just a miserable old prick now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
