Last Film You Watched

The Favourite is so much fun.

A great cast, excellent story and shot so wonderfully.

A completely different type of film but if you have seen The Lobster you'll understand.

....Highwaymen on Netflix was really good. Well I liked it.

Same, think Harrelson is a very underrated actor. Also never realised the amount of adulation Bonnie and Clyde received, never showed that in the old movies.

I forgot just how good Eagle V Shark is!

A sheer masterpiece

Pet Sematary.

Better that I thought it would be.

Jack Reacher last night.
Enjoyable tbh

Not if you have read the books. Reacher is meant to be 6'4" and built like a brick shthouse. I don't mind Tom Cruise as an actor but he was totally miscast for this role.

Set in the 1950s or so, its message that modern life drains us of the magic of even the best of childhoods is a relevant one. Eminently watchable for all the family and (ignoring the inevitable and predictable "happy" ending) an enjoyable film to boot...

Watched a good movie this morning called Wakefield

Incredibles 2
Meh.

First movie was an absolute Masterpiece, probably the best Pixar movie overall, but this fails to live up to its predecessor, and probably represents everything wrong with movies today. Predictable feminism, role reversal, weak villain, trying to cram in too many subplots and just.. weak all over.
6/10.

My 4 year old said pretty much the same thing.

 

[ilikecheese]

Watched 50/50 again. Really liked it the first time. Still really liked it this time.

Cancer is a difficult subject, and I think the movie handles it well. Some very funny moments, as well as some very difficult moments.

The acting is top notch as well as the writing. Anna Kendrick was made for her role.

Probably about an 8.5/10 for me.

P.S. The editing on the opening scene is hilarious if you know Seattle. His little morning jog was more like a marathon.

Invariably the books are better than the films. However, having read the book first it can sometimes leave you a little disappointed with the film version as it rarely does the book justice. Had you watched the film in isolation you wouldn't have such high expectations, so maybe you have it right.

If I had to recommend a book to someone who rarely reads books, a Jack Reacher novel would be high on the list. You need to park your disbelief and just enjoy the guy spinning a yarn and the next thing you know its all over.

I will endeavour to read one

If you mean a "book" I can recommend loads. If you're talking abut a Lee Child's book (he wrote the Jack Reacher novels) you only need to read 1. The other 20 or so are basically the same.
