Films you've watched recently.

Saw “get out” on terrestrial tv last night. I didn’t think it was Oscar worthy, but still a very good film. I recorded it and re watched a few bits back as I realised I had missed some very clever bits
7.5 maybe an 8, well worth a watch.
I would call it a thriller more than a horror
 
Shaun The Sheep: Farmageddon - Excellent as you'd expect from Aardman. Spot the many, many sci-fi references. 9/10
 
Zombieland: Double Tap.

Similar formula to the first, hilarious and a lot of fun, but obviously not as fresh. 7/10.

Also my 61st film of the year with my Cineworld Unlimited card. I’ll miss out on my target of 100 but still not a bad innings.
 
Costa-Gavras's Adults in the room.Not sure the subject matter is all that cinematic-certainly compared to Z-but it's always an interesting film.Must get round to reading Yanis Varoufakis's book one of these days.
 
Mary & Max - animation of a lonely young Australian girl and an severely autistic middle aged New Yorker who form a very unlikely friendship via letters & chocolate.

At the same time grotesque and incredibly sweet. Excellent, but definitely not one for the kids. 9/10
 
Caught up with The Corpse Bride yesterday afternoon. Not seen it in ages. Not as good as The Nightmare Before Christmas, the songs are forgettable, but still a solid 7.5/10
 
Bumblebee 7/10 - Not the best of the Transformers series but it’s not bad.
 
Joker 3/10. Crap

For Sama 10/10. Probably the most incredible documentary I’ve ever seen
 
For Sama - Humanistic Documentary or Slick War Propaganda?

I'm going to plump for the latter. I'm guessing not many have considered that this 'documentary' is a ninety minute advertisement for more neocon intervensionism in Syria. I would consider mental illness, the collapse of the American mental health safety net and the general degradation of society as a slightly worthier project, but hey, what do I know?
