Film

I liked it a lot. It's nowhere near as dark as his previous films but still a lot of good stuff in there. Nicholas Hoult's character, in particular, was fantastic.

Brought the young fella to see Bumblebee at the weekend. Wasn't bad although could have trimmed about 20 minutes off it.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Saw The Favourite while home in the IFI and thoroughly enjoyed it, even down to the anachronistic dance scene sending up the absurdity of the aristocrats' cultural mores in a way that simply recreating steps of the time wouldn't have accomplished.

Personally, I was glad to find Lanthimos back on form after the largely aggravating The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Border is an interesting one I hope to get to either this week or next:

The Killing of a Sacred Deer was appalling, mostly down to Farrell's awful acting.  Lobster was the same for me.  He has become a fucking robot...

[Pentagrimes]

So just wondering - might be best to PM me if you can help rather than discuss it publicly - is Cinemageddon still a thing?If so, can anyone get me an invite and if not anyone else know of any decent sites for finding cult/trash/films? Surrealmoviez is gone from the looks of it, and I've a hankering to track down some Shaw Brothers horror movies

I think CG changed domain after the admin disappeared. Karagarga can be decent but it can often lean towards the artsy side of b-movies rather than the trash end.

[Ollkiller]

Watched I, Tonya. It's well made but I just got bored watching white trash idiots make really idiotic decisions over and over again.

I went to see Stan & Ollie last night, very enjoyable. Despite them being on TV all the time when I was a kid, I knew little of that period of their lives, especially the Cobh story.

Watched Children of Men again..class film.

The next day watched Roma by the same director...well worth a watch.

[Emphyrio]

Didn't realise he directed Children of Men. Great movie.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Don't know if it's getting a screening back home, but L'Empereur de Paris is a fun watch. The true life story of a uniquely mad bastard called Vidocq who lived in post-revolution France. Starring Vincent Cassell and, if his always great acting isn't enticing enough, Olga Kulyenko.

[Eoin McLove]

I went to Stan and Ollie tonight.  Most enjoyable.  Coogan is getting a lot of deserved praise for his depiction of Laurel but I think John C. Reilly put in a fantastic performance as well.  There was really good chemistry between the two.

[Pentagrimes]

Got half an hour into Roma and my will to live had disappeared.  Not my kinda movie. Watched Elle instead which is great,Isabell Huppert is lethal in it

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Want to see both of them, glad to hear praise from you for Elle, hopefully Roma won't have that effect on me though.

[Pedrito]

Watched Bumblebee, entertaining enough. Didn't like any other Transformers movies but this was cool...robots looked very cool.

Vice is very entertaining though I'm.not convinced it's Oscar material, whatever that actually means. A bit disjointed and fails to land a final blow but still well worth a watch.
