Started watching nickel boys last night. Had high hopes for it but lost interest and didn't get to the end of it. Looking forward to watching "on falling" when available

Stone cold classic. Remember watching this as a kid in the 80s

Never got to the end of that film. Remember renting it on dvd when it came out from several different stores locally and everyone of them was scratched in the same place and never saw the end.
Mickey 17. Not entirely sure what to make of it. Largely really enjoyed it and Pattinson is very good as are a lot of the supporting cast. Wasn’t really a fan of Mark Ruffalo or Toni Colette’s characters. I know you aren’t supposed to be but thought they were way too much of a caricature. Could have also done with being a bit shorter. Didn’t particularly drag but felt there was definitely stuff that could have been cut without harming the film.

Worth the price of admission for the opening titles alone. The Paramount logo, magnificent in all its pomp and then we fly past as an ominous shadow and it darkens. Transition into some banging breakbeat techno in a Space wormhole and were off.
You probably had to be at Mt. Druity Hoyts Cinema in 1997 but that movie was the loudest thing Ive ever watched and it was fantastic Space Horror for its time.

Blue Velvet. I saw it when it first came out and was repelled like many people but now the bad scene didn't stand out so much.
It's beautifully shot and quirky - quite sentimental. Director David Lynch himself wrote music for it and for Twin Peaks later. It's about the nastiness lurking under the surface of respectable small town America - an abiding theme of his.

Would never get past 1. Same for Saint Nic. Think Poon should give up besmirching their good names for Lent.
Vengeance - Film4 last night.
I very nearly switched this off after 15 mins, as I thought it was just going to be a run of the mill, light weight comedy, but then it took a very dark and clever turn.
A New York blogger, who is up his own arse, is pressured into attending the funeral of a Texan girl who used to have one night stands with.
However her death is not as straightforward as it seems and he starts to blog about it, getting drawn deeper and deeper into the shady circumstances surrounding her death.
The first fifteen mins or so don’t do the rest of the film justice, as it’s very well written, a really good cast, clever and quite deep too, with loads of social commentary on the way Americans see themselves.
If there’s such a thing, I’d described it as a “ thinking black comedy “
Really enjoyed it:

Farming, after watching a couple of trailers was really looking forward to this, unfortunately it falls rather flat, there's not really much background to the story and you don't feel any real sympathy for the main character, could have been a whole lot better, 4 bovver boots out of ten

Interesting little story... and Lena Olin crikey!!!
One of my all-time fave's...find something new every time I watch it.
I gave a movie called 'Lucy' a go, but wasn't impressed with it.
'Boss level' 2020. Frank Grillo stars. A certain aussie duck head is the lead baddie.
Initially occurred to me as 'Groundhog day' meets 'John Wick'. Some huge homages to certain films, T2, BttF that tom ruise one from a few years back. A few laughs. Not terrible. 6.5 very tasty brown biker jackets out of ten. Oh yeah, huge Matrix nod. Michelle Yeoh chronically underused considering she's telegrammed early doors.
Fluff.
