The gentlemen

Took a while before the story grabbed me, but about half way through it did and I started really enjoying the film. I’ve also got a feeling this is the kind of film that’s better on second viewing. 7/10

Oh, and Hugh Grant is phenomenal

Finally got around to watching 'Joker' over the weekend.

Definitely lives up to all the hype. Joaquin Phoenix is excellent.
I got some serious 'Requiem For A Dream' vibes with the cinematography and artistic choices in parts.

Just a shame it'll all be ruined by joining up with the Batman franchise

Just watched The Other Guys with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Really wish I hadn't.

Midnight Run (1988).

A much overlooked Robert De Niro picture.

There is a great scene where De Niro visits his ex-wife's home for assistance as he flees the FBI and mob; and his daughter - who he hasn't seen for 9 years - quietly appears from the doorway. He responds with: ''You got so big". Heart-wrenching. Charles Grodin is quality as he remains handcuffed in the background; communicating with only facial gestures.

When you say ‘overlooked’ do you mean that it’s the first time that you’ve seen it?

I love this film

I normally love Adam Mackay films (especially with Will Ferrell) but this one just didn't work for me. Thought Steve Coogan was good in it though.

I rewatched Midnight Run recently. Still think it's a great film. Totally forgot Joe Pantoliano was in it. Has been abar 20 years since I saw it like.

Another 80s classic I saw again recently was After Hours. Absolutely brilliant, up there with Scorsese's best imho.

'kin ell. Ken Loach telling me a movie is boring is like George Lucas complaining about CGI.

you have to have some intellectual background to understand his films mate. I, Daniel Blake was amazing particularly. Most of his other films too.

DC, Marvel stuff is just waste of time. Can't see myself paying for it.

Is that the argument from "if you don't like something I like it's because you're thick"?

I don't like his movies because every single one is the same cardboard cutouts of noble working-class savages who's personality flaws are only ever brought about by the evil boss class and uncaring institutions.

Your mileage may vary.

Riff Raff was ace. Even thought Ricky Tomlinson was good in that.

Not seen that. I enjoyed Looking for Eric, but I think that was simply Eric Cantona being Eric Cantona that did that.

Even The Angels Share which was supposed to be one of his lighter pieces had me grinding my (sugar rotted, NHS neglected, BUPA not-covered) teeth to stumps.

We all have the things we "should" like that we don't. I find Ken Loach absolutely insufferable.

That won't happen anytime soon. The new Batman film is a standalone film
