Green book 8/10
Genious black pianist(Don Shirley:Doc) goes deep south for his concert tour in 60s. He hires Italian american driver(+body guard):Tony for US$100+/week for a few month until Christmas. Green book is a hotel guide book for black person at that time. Doc experiences various typical discriminations. Tony(rude and hates black people) gradually becomes different...
It was a good film. I didn't know anything about this film and later knew it was Academy Award-winning one. There was not surprising plot, and it was not expected for me, but I liked it at the end. I couldn't find any other films and chose this at theatre, and I'm pleased.
Auntie sitting near me should've known English better. She chuckled time to time when I didn't get it.
There was some parts I didn't like, but I can't tell if it's a real story about him. Tony's wife was beautiful and cute(Linda Cardellini as Dolores Vallelonga). ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

The Deer hunter - 7/10
Another so-called great film which hasn't stood the test of time.
It was probably great when it was released, but now it seems dated, slow and uneventful. I understand that the film is not an action film, and that it carries lots of underlying messages about humanity, war etc, but there are better and newer versions of the same theme, so Deer Hunter just seemed a bit old to me.
It reminds me of Seven Samurai, which is said to be one of the greatest films ever made. The film is extremely old, black and white and if I remember correctly it has no dialogue at all, just music and acting. This film also is so old that it's simply not enjoyable when measured up to modern films of the same theme. Deer Hunter is similar in this regard. Its high ratings were probably once deserved, but not any more. |

It's one of the first actual 'oscar bait' movies. It wasn't very good when it came out, and still isn't all that now. But it's depressing and says a lot about humanity and war etc, and was released just in time for oscar season. I think it's quite cynical actually.
Seven Samurai on the other hand does hold up IMO. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Why have you rated it so highly then? 7/10 on imdb would be a good film ____________________ "The guy is a worthless cunt and I honestly believe I would be a slightly happier person if he died." - Chris-Red |

Avengement 9/10
East end cockney villain gangster flick. Starring Craig Fairbrass, Nick Moran and everyone's favourite B rated movie action hero Scott Adkins.
Revenge, Prison, violence, hostage taking all in a 90 minute action packed flick. Few other cases of "Oh I know him from somewhere, from that show oh whatshisname?" it's a 90 minute action packed flick.
Available to stream or from the usual places if you want to steal it.
Trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUQzHB8hs_s |

Brightburn 8.5/10
I really enjoyed this, you all know the story, an American family bereft of a child suddenly find a crashed space object in their back garden containing a baby and they take it in (so like Superman right? WRONG). This little kiddy is a proper little cunt and intent on world domination.
He is very much the anti hero. That's what makes this good. The way he despatches his victims is rather satisfying and you find yourself in a state of awe rooting for the bad guy. Helsinki syndrome to the max.
