Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

We watched this last night and really liked it. It wasn't better than the original, but it wasn't worse either. A fun movie. The Bill Murray part in the closing credits really cracked me up too. 7/10

Darkest Hour (2017)

With Germany looking unstoppable, pressure built on Churchill to consider negotiating peace terms with Hitler via Mussolini.

Gary Oldman was yeah, awesome as Churchill, deserved the Oscar. Lily James is as gorgeous as ever.

Worth watching if u like the genre. Is now on Netflix.

Downsizing.
I enjoyed the first part. The concept was intriguing. However after the downsizing happens the movie dissolves into nothing and you can't even really tell that they're in a downsized world. Could have been so much more. Disappointing.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

The Peanut Butter Falcon.

Pretty decent. 6.5/10. Good score and decent performances, story and pacing could have been fleshed out a little more and the ending left a little to be desired.

Good Boys (2019)

We really enjoyed this movie and the laughs often came from the boys naivety and lack of real life experience. But there's some funny scenes and for those of us well past the age of 12, a reminder of days when we were innocent and finding out about life through our mistakes and muck ups. I see a sequel coming with these three when they're seniors in high school. 7/10

A Current War (2017)

Who's going to win the war of electricty, Thomas Edison with his DC system, or George Westinghouse with his AC system. You just need to turn a light on in your home to know that result. This film has a good cast including Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, and Michael Shannon. Despite the filmmakers investing so much time in unnecessary and ultimately boring biopic exposition, the whole is in fact an interesting and informative history lesson. From that point alone I stuck with it and wasn't disappointed. The acting though at times is like one of those documentaries where they have recreated scenes, in fact, the movie would've been better done like that. 4/10

The King. 10/10. Best film I've watched this year.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Good Boys - 6/10

Some decent chuckles. Worth the watch.

The King - 7.5/10

Despite the slight impression of a miscast perhaps more physically. Chalamet brings an incredibly nuanced performance as King Henry. In terms of the film overall it's good.. but not amazing. Doesn't seem to leave a lasting impression. Which I felt the same way with last year's Outlaw King.

The highlight of this film are the dialogue interactions, especially the last half hour.

But I hope Netflix continue to produce quality Medieval films.

Downsizing.
I enjoyed the first part. The concept was intriguing. However after the downsizing happens the movie dissolves into nothing and you can't even really tell that they're in a downsized world. Could have been so much more. Disappointing.

I watched this a few months back now but that's exactly how I felt about it too. Great idea that went nowhere.

 

[Shell]

+2 for thoughts re. Downsizing.

So *ing stupid 2nd half. Love Matt Damon tho x

 

[Deliverance]

The Circle

I guess it's a dig at Google, but it missed the mark in many areas.

4/10

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Chronicles of Riddick- it’s a shame this is tied to the Riddick/Vin Diesel character so much as the world building is really good. The cast has turned out to be a ripper too, Karl Urban, Linus Roach, Thandie Newton before they’ed made it big.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Call Me By Your Name - Didn't really resonate with me and couldn't empathise with the characters. So overall it was okay.

The Farewell - Didn't quite like it as I expected to. Was still good nonetheless.

Dracula Untold - Enjoyed the tone and dug the costume designs, Luke Evans was great as Dracula. It's a shame there won't be a sequel.

The King: Excellent. Liked it a lot. 8.5/10

The King: Excellent. Liked it a lot. 8.5/10

Oooo I always get a bit giddy when you rate something highly! Been looking forward to this.

The Farewell - Didn't quite like it as I expected to. Was still good nonetheless.

I saw this recently and expected to like it a bit more too but I respected the authenticity of it and can’t deny that it was a well executed film.

 

[Percel]

The Peanut Butter Falcon, brilliant

 

[Roobs321]

The King was great, easily the best Netflix film I've seen to date. Felt the entire look of the film was authentic, paced nicely. Another winner for Michod after Animal Kingdom and The Rover, and like Kurzel's Macbeth a Shakespearean adaptation well worth seeing. Australians seem to have a nicely twisted knack for war-friendly Shakespeare of late.

 

[Frank Bunn]

The Peanut Butter Falcon, brilliant

Speak up

HOBBS AND SHAW

Didn't expect much so was pleasantly surprised.
Needed more Ryan Reynolds though.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

Midsommar - yeah didn't really feel this at all, pretty weird flick, left unfulfilled at the end

 

[Quokka]

Dolemite is My Name - I really like it when Eddie Murphy plays just one role in a movie.

 

[bok_party]

Midsommar - yeah didn't really feel this at all, pretty weird flick, left unfulfilled at the end

The Game Changers. Saw it on Friday night, still thinking about it today 3 days later. It's screwing with me, every time I put something in my mouth..
