Films you've watched recently.

[Tangled up in Blue]

Certainly the best film of the year for me, although I haven't seen Manchester by the Sea yet.

That hasn't opened here yet but is also on my to see list.Bit early to talk about films of the year but I really liked the Jeff Bridges Oscar nominated film Hell or High water.

Best British film though had to be Ken Loach's I,Daniel Blake.

Still on my John Schlensinger kick, saw Midnight Cowboy and A kind of Loving again yesterday.

While JS will undoubtedly be remembered for MC I happen to think his first British film is his best.

I'm talking award season year rather than calendar year.

Yeah I got that, which I why I named my favourite Oscar and Bafta nominated films.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Bridge of Spies - good apart from the prolonged ending - should have ended with the hand over on the bridge.
Still worth watching.

Warsaw 44. One of the most powerful and harrowing films I have ever seen. A must watch but not with children present.

Just looked this up. Was it on TV? Sound like my kind of thing

Arrival. Just stunning, film of the year. 10/10

A Monster Calls - Another amazing film, incredible stuff. 9.9/10

 

[Supernaut]

Legend (2015)
Yet another Krays biopic. Bit of a mess of a film, pretty much rescued by Tom Hardy's fantastic performance as both Kray twins. Hardy's portrayal of Ronnie is the best big screen comedy performance I've seen in many a year. Not actually sure if it's supposed to be that funny. 6/10 for the film, 9/10 for Tom Hardy.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

La La land.

Absolute tosh.0/10.

“For those who like that sort of thing," said Miss Brodie in her best Edinburgh voice, "That is the sort of thing they like.” Muriel Spark.The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Made me pine for Coppola's One from the Heart.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Still on a John Schlensinger kick.Saw Darling for the first time earlier.Wonderful British film which owes a huge debt to Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

Has anyone seen Birdman with Michael Keaton? Got it to watch on LoveFilm.com.

Anything with Keaton and Edward Norton is going to be watchable.

Been really disappointed with Norton as I had high hope after American History X - never really impressed since.

Oh he has made some stinkers for sure but he has also made some really good films as well. Try 25th Hour, The Score and Red Dragon.

***** & overrated. It's a load of art house ****.

Coppola's One from the Heart.

Sets the standard by which all modern musicals have to be judged.Simply wonderful.

Agree about The Red Dragon.
