'Chappie' a really good movie

The Other Boleyn Girl.

Le Divorce, via Netflix. Was quite disappointed.

A Knight's Tale (2001). My taste in historical dramas usually runs to the serious and not the comedic, and the more rather than less accurate, but I had never seen the film and thought I might as well give it a try. I was genuinely entertained for most of it and can admit that it's a success on it's own terms. Highly unlikely that I'd ever revisit it though.

Warcraft or Warcraft The Beginning meh, really poor overall - https://tldrmoviereviewsblog.wordpress.com/2016/06/16/movie-review-warcraft-warcraft-the-beginning/

A favourite of mine, I've no idea why it works so well but it does. Normally anachronisms in films drive me crazy, but somehow they don't in this.

Airlift, an Indian movie. A great film. We should helping each others in a crisis, even if we come from different nationalities.

American History X (1998).

The 5th wave.Overall not that good

Thankskilling 3.

Watched it whilst watching Achievement Hunter watch it as part of a show they do called Theater mode were they watch really bad movies and get drunk.


This "film" is...

Part of me is dead now because of it.

Blithe Spirit (1945). I really adore David Lean.

Oldboy (2003), which was excellent.

Leaves of Grass, I must admit I hate films that rely on 'they're identical twins'.

Spider-man 3. Pretty underrated if you ask me...

Meadowland (2015). Not an excellent movie, but the subject keep circling in your head. Cinematographically meh, emotionally stunning.

10 Cloverfield Lane. I didn't like it. The big twist at the end ruined it for me.

Mockingjay Part 2

I give it a :/ out of 10. There were no high points and plenty of low points. The series had plenty of chances to win me over but it blew all of them.

The Guns of Navarone

Yet another 1960s war movie that I saw when I was younger, and now that I've rewatched it when I'm older and wiser I realize that it really isn't as good as I thought it was then.

By the Sea (2015). A flawed, but interesting film. It's self-consciously attempting to be arthouse, part Hemingway, part Bergman, and a third thing I can't quite put my finger on. The photography is gorgeous and the film gradually becomes more interesting as it goes on, but the dialogue is so flat and surface level without any of the subtlety that it seems like the film is going for. Worth watching overall.

Sling Blade - it was alright.

Deathdream - a pretty well-made low budget horror from the very early seventies about a dead Vietnam war soldier reappearing at home as a zombie. Horror films rarely age well.

I fall on the opposite side. The big twist is what made the movie stand out to me.

The Mechanic (2011)

Watched it yesterday. Pretty cool movie. I liked it.

Rock 'n' Roll High School, featuring the Ramones and at least two giant white mice.

The Count of Monte Cristo (1975)

Nice movie for a great story.
