Watched Lady in the Van last night, just brilliant acting from Maggie Smith, love this film!

 

[Mad Cyril]

The Lost Boys.

7/10 - Lether clad goth/rocker types on motorbikes just aren't menacing anymore. It would have been a lot more terrifying if they were wearing grey jogging bottoms + hoodies and loitering outside Budgens blazing a zoot.

My Cousin Rachel - Rachel Weitz plays a possible husband murderer/gold digger in this Daphne du Maurier adaptation. Enjoyable enough. 7/10

Captain Underpants - Laugh out loud funny animation, chock full of poo (and Dolphin) jokes. Highly recommended. 9/10

Watched Lady in the Van last night, just brilliant acting from Maggie Smith, love this film!

I caught that as well. Maggie Smith is nothing but genius in just about every film she appears in.

 

[Pubey]

Detroit - 9/10 - Just brutal. Such a tough but important watch, and sadly it relates so much to current times.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Yoga Hosers. I had trepidations watching this as it was so slated but I needn't have worried as Kevin Smith's humour is right up my alley. 8/10

Despicable Me 3 - an absolute mess. Funny in parts, but utterly incoherent. 5/10

The Sense of an Ending - Jim Broadbent musing on his life as a 60s student where he was an arrogant tit. Not much happens, but it's enjoyable enough. 7/10

I took my youngest to see Despicable Me 3. I fell asleep! He loved it though.

Sounds ****ing awful.

Sounds ****ing awful.

Excellent film if you're a certain age.I used to work in Hampstead but knew I'd never be able to live there.Perhaps I should have built a shack on the heath like the Brendan Gleeson character.:winking:

I imagine that complaints from locals would see any shack pulled down by the council in about five seconds.

I imagine that complaints from locals would see any shack pulled down by the council in about five seconds.

Appearently, the person concerned (and the film is apparently based on a true story) lived in his shack on Hampstead Heath for 17 years and sold for a cool 4 milllion quid.

Is it like all Richard Curtis films where everyone is liberal, middle class and loaded?

Is it like all Richard Curtis films where everyone is liberal, middle class and loaded?

Not a fan of (most of) Richard Curtis's films.There are some illiberal Hampstead types on view but middle class and loaded, certainly applies to most.

Saw Alan Parker's Angel Heart again earlier.Wonderful film.

Worst "I'm really the devil' name ever, but agreed it's a great film.
