Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 16, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Get Santa Well, that was a lot fucking better, wasn't it? Last day of work for the year, kicked off the festive season with an actually good Christmas film that I've never seen before! Recommended. Jim Broadbent was great.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 16, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hustlers A bit disappointing, really. Would probably have worked better as a comedy but Jennifer Lopez really is a great actress who has always deserved roles as good as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god no. I meant in reference to Nativity. I have no issues with the Dirty Harry series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a staple in our house but seems to be under the radar for a lot of folk but it's great fun. Broadbent is on top form and some good appearances by Stephen Graham and Warwick Davis. Even Raph Spall isn't hateable in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both really good - Hustlers not quite top level stuff, but not far below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 OUT OF SIGHT is a fantastic film. Fucking smouldering that. Steam comes off the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 17, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2019 J Lo was great in 'U-Turn' back in the 90's. I remember really liking it at the time but fear it'll have aged terribly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 17, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2019 She's also superb in Money Train. Uncut Gems Honestly, I hated the Safdies' Good Time so I had no expectation for this at all but it's absolutely superb. Some really unexpected use of real life characters and the pacing of it is frantic and anxiety inducing the whole way through. Keeps you guessing, the ending is brilliant, and Sandler does a fantastic cross between Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman. One of the best of the year.

Mr_Danger Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'm really looking forward to it. I listened to the Safdie's on the Rewatchables Happy Gilmore podcast last week in preparation. Sandler is fantastic when he wants to be, he's definitely had the career he wanted but it's a shame he hasn't thrown out a few more Punch Drunk Love's.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 17, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 17, 2019 Yeah, and unlike his other 'serious' roles, there's not really much comedy in this for him to lean back on. There's the odd laugh here and there but it really does rely on him being dramatically on song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Izzy Gets The Fuck Across Town  A quirky little comedy that really breezes past and features Mackenzie Davis (alerting @Devon Malcolm) and Alia Shawkat (alerting all cousin lovers) The Holiday I thought after 10 minutes this would be awful, and whilst it’s categorically not a good film, I didn’t mind it so much, mainly because of Kate Winslet. Jack Black as a leading man in a romance is still really, really funny. Surviving Christmas One of the worst films I’ve ever seen. What a waste of a cast. 90 minutes of Affleck doing that weird teeth together grin he did before he realised he can actually act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
