Re-watched Joker for the first time since I saw it in the cinema tonight. Amazing film. To me it might even be better than Parasite. The lead performance is among the best I've ever seen. It's so painful to watch.

1917.Sad but a good film.

Another fan here. I even strip off and oil myself up when I watch it now.

hahaha with a pack of haribo

Dark Water with Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Anne Hathaway

20 year legal battle between residents in West Virginia against DuPont for knowingly poisoning the water with chemicals found in Teflon.

horrendous the way America allows these giant monopolies to self regulate; they literally used their employees has test subjects

it’s 20 years crammed into 2 hours, a really good film and eye opening, shows why things like cancer are on the rise.

Recommend watch

Finally got round to watching "Bohemian Rhapsody" after a mate raving about it,what a bland piece of art,it was like a stars in their eyes does a Queen special,it was basically fluff

I’m eleven minutes into Quantum of Solace now, and I’m starting to get dizzy already. Was this edited by a 14-year-old? Utterly horrendous, the amount of cuts per minute.

So the editing almost made this unwatchable. Only positives: Daniel Craig, Judy Dench and the fact it’s relatively short. 2/10

Watching Atomic Blonde now. The plot is all over the place but the action is great (John Wick fight scene coordinator is the director so it’s to be expected) and the music in conjunction with the 80’s setting is fantastic. And Charlize Theron is great.

Love that film.

It wasn't great, but Mathieu Amalric is always worth watching - even if he was given so little to do in this.

Love that film.

Finished it now. Ending is a little rushed but overall I really enjoyed it. The fight scenes, particularly one in the stairwell when Charlize Theron is escorting the Stasi defector, are wonderfully brutal.

The rampant sexist in me can’t deny that I was pleasantly surprised with her love interest in the film as well.

The 2011 remake was an abomination.

Some films should just be left alone.

Seen a few films recently on a site called Rakouten. It's another streaming service where you can pay cash or 'credits' to watch films. Don't think they do a subscription service, so not really sure the point of the credits (I get a little thru work each month), but they also have some free to watch (with adverts) films. Fortunately there only seems to be 2/3 sets of adverts per film, and they're normally very short. The selection is quite mixed, and generally quite old. There looks like some real duds on there, but also some decent films, like Amelie.

Watched one on there called 'Deception' on the weekend. Geoffrey Rush plays an antique valuer(?)/auctioneer who is called to value a collection of works at an old dilapidated villa, by a mysterious woman who never appears face to face. His character is old and cantakerous, with some peculiar behave 'issues', but Rush plays him really well and you soon find yourself rooting for him despite the way he treats people most of the time. At first he wants to refuse the woman's request, but keeps returning to her villa despite his reticence. Quite slow, but a good watch and quite charming.

Parasite. Really very good. Reminded me of A Simple Plan in its feel. If this is typical of South Korean cinema, we have a lot to look forward to. A thought-provoking tale of everyday folk and rich folk. Even the subtitles were easy to read. If you can, see it.
I thought 1917 was excellent, but this really did deserve the best picture Oscar. Captivated me and Mrs Jammy and sons 17 and 15

Can't remember if I posted about Parasite already, but watched it last week and really liked it. I have been thinking having seen it that it is a great entry film for South Korean/Asian cinema. Bit funny, bit weird, bit dark, bit brutal. It really brings together all the things that scene does well in to one film. The gateway drug of SK/A films....

It wasn't great, but Mathieu Amalric is always worth watching - even if he was given so little to do in this.

Doesn't help they made him look like an even more creepy, arrogant version of Stuart from TBBT...
