Tyrannosaur is fantastic, hard to believe it was his first film. Mullan and Colman are unbelievably good in it, her in particular. Never mind The Favourite, that's the one she should be known for.

On a completely different level, just watched Godzilla Vs. Kong. Gloriously crap, stupid and great fun. Nice fan service too.

I thought it was out earlier in the week. It wasn't, clearly, but it turns out there was another Godzilla movie from a coupla years ago. Threw that on instead. Silly, as expected but think it has the same cast as this new one so things set up nicely.


Cool, something to watch with the little lad while minding him over the next three weeks the crèches are closed. His favourite song in the world is "Go, go, gawaiii!" Erm, this:

London Has Fallen.

So bad, so dumb, so confusing despite its simple premise.

It is gloriously 'problematic' though, so that's a 9'5/10 from me.

Incredible film. A few beauts around that time in that vein. Utter bleakness. Tyrannosaur written and directed by Paddy is 10/10 as well.

Shane Meadows, and TV, but the 4 parter The Virtues from a few years ago is worth a watch on a sunny day. Mental.
tyrannosaur is brilliant, seen it years ago. It is a movie that sticks with you though. Much like Meadows work which is also fantastic. I think meadows is underrated as a writer/director.

I think we're alone now. A very odd man, who thinks he's the last human on earth, until a
young woman crashes her car in his town. They begin an uneasy coexistence, with him preferring solitude. Then there's a twist. Very good, melodrama. Not a happy-go-lucky upbeat film, but worth a watch.

The French connection tonight

The Father

Red Snake.

Good movies.

Went onto Police Story 2. Not as spectacular as the first, but equally as entertaining.

Tombstone. Definitely a Hollywood western but no denying the greatness of Val Kilmer and Kurt Russel in this.

Rewatched Dead Man's Shoes last night. Just as gut punching as it was first time. Considine is amazing in it. It starts out very funny but the reveal scene towards the end is very rough to stomach sometimes. (I do love the trip scene when he takes out the suitcase though)

An amazing film. Considine eats up the screen in it, in fairness all the actors put a great shift in. And such an ending. So many good scenes in it, but the one in the pub when they're playing pool and yer man asks considine what he's looking at and he replies "you you cunt" is the best delivery of a line I think I've ever heard.

Love that scene too, it's full of venom. When he's outside and the leader approaches him and he says he has him in the palm of hand. Most convincing anger I've seen in a film.

Totally. Not s single fuck given. Pure bile and hatred. I like him as an actor but that's his stand out performance for sure.

Absolutely. That adrenaline buzz and restrained jitteriness that you feel when you're facing off with someone - he had it down.

Watched Titanic for the first time in years last night. Apart from the cheesiness of it it's actually really good once the boat hits the iceberg. The effects are amazing.

I always leave on Titanic when it comes on the telly. Specifically for when it all goes horribly wrong.

Watched They Live last night. Great fun.
