The Iceman 5/10
'Biopic' about Richard Kuklinski, a contract killer for the mob, among others.
As usual, many facts wrong in comparison with the biography that I've read, but then, when did that ever matter to movie-makers
For one thing, it didn't really capture anywhere near how sick that fucker was, but I suppose you have to draw the line somewhere when it's for 'entertainment' purposes. Tying victims down over holes full of hungry rats then filming the results might not be something they want to encourage.
So, only 5/10 for that reason, despite the presence of Ray Liotta as the infamous Roy DeMeo, and don't know if it was just me, but I found the soundtrack very poor, could hardly make out what was being said half the time. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Spider Man The One They Made in 2014. 5/10
That's what I imagine the full title is, including the rating.
Pros:
Not an origin story.
Doesn't take itself too seriously.
Does whatever a spider can.
Cons:
Creepy 30 year old pretending to be a high schooler is creepy.
Emma Stone looks like she's just come out of an all night script reading with Weinstein.
About an hour too long.
Well, mostly harmless, I guess. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

"Fantastic" Four (2015) 2/10
So, you cast a 28 year old as a high schooler, and a 31 year old as the high schooler's love interest.
Do you want paedophiles? Because that's how you get paedophiles.
Creepy casting aside, the film is total mince too. What did they think they were they making here? The first half of what should have been the runtime is like a bad mash-up of Half Life, GTA, Stargate and Scooby Doo.
What the rest of it might be like I'll never know, as I just gave up then, and had to go and shower to get the taste of nonce off of me.
Sort it out, Marvel, let's leave this sort of quality to DC. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

All Eyez on me 4/10 - second attempt watching this, the first time I bailed because it was all civil rights BS, which unless I'm very much mistaken isn't what rap was all about
Anyhoo, the film did carry on in the same vein, but my rating's mainly down to it not being a very good movie. I found the NWA movie a lot more enjoyable (better acting etc.) and I don't even like their music, when I do 2Pacs although it probably didn't help I already knew a lot of the story. However like Straight Outta Compton it's their version of events.
Parkland 4/10 - story of the Zapruder film (Kennedy assassination) and the aftermath of the shooting. A fairly forgettable film, except for [spoiler] Kennedy's blood splattering all over the place whilst they tried to save his life.
I also tried to watch Jackie but Natalie Portman's portrayal was so f'ing annoying I had to turn it off. |

Blade Runner 2049 8/10
I liked 1982 one, and I like this one too.
Ryan Gosling's acting was cool. Car(Spinner) was cool. Ana de Armas was cute. Sylvia Hoeks was cool, cute, and had nice hairstyle. Scenery/Picture was beautiful. This isn't a film full of fighting action. I admit this film is long, but it is good because it wasn't cut into short one.
I will go to theatre few more times cause I want to watch this film on a large screen and big speakers. ____________________ 2020 Touring Serow 250

Blade Runner 2049
8/10
Not as good as the first one. As a standalone film, it's epic and so atmospheric, I could have sat through hours and not been bored.
However, a good sci-fi it most certainly is not. At least not on par with the original. The script lets it down immensely. It seems to have gone the 'American' way, where everything is mostly dictated to you, with a sudden plot twist to make you think, "Oh my gawwwwd I did nawt see that coming!". There's nothing sci-fi-esque in anything the people say, apart from one line near the end where **SPOILER ALERT** the woman (replicant) beats K in a fight and says something like, "I'm the best" - a clear sign of androids starting to have the same drive for dominance that humans do **END OF SPOILER**
- aside from that, it's just a very (very very) atmospheric detective film set in the future.
Not a single "teardrops in the rain" moment, that's for sure.
But anyway, very well made, would watch again. |

Friday night was date night, so...
Happy Death Day
I'd seen a bit of a trailer for this floating about, and then again when I was listening to an interview with Jason Blum (Blumhouse Productions - Annabelle, Creation, The Visit etc) who was explaining the plot. Shot on a low budget (but it looks brilliant), sort of a cross of Groundhog Day and Scream. Top notch, and better because I expected a 6/10. Solid 8.5/10
After that, we grabbed a takeaway and went home. We started watching:
Live By Night
Ben Affleck stars as an irish gangster who doesn't want to be a gangster. After revenge from an irish mob boss, he helps the italian mob set up rum speakeasies in Florida. Decent enough, looks good, the script is a bit flimsy in parts, but a good story and decent acting. 7/10 ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.

Frank Grillo plays the protagonist as a car driver on a mission. Most of the movie relies upon cell-phone dialogue between Grillo and callers; it's a thriller come action movie with a twist or two thrown in for good measure. No real complaints although I'd probably not watch it again, all the usual phone characters crop up; bitchy ex-wife, tantrum spewing teenage daughter, shouty hard man etc. A good car chase towards the end of the film, yep I'd say 6/10. |
Good cinematography, and better than the (original) transporter*, baby driver etc. Kinda similar to Locke actually with it all being set in a car, but a bit more excitement. I enjoyed it but the ending was a bit bland. A 5.5/10 from me.
*tried to watch the new (2015) Transporter movie, had to turn it off after 20 minutes.
My Scientology Movie 4.5/10 - Louis Theroux explores Scientology with no access, and his main whistleblower goes full on rage face whenever asked one of his trademark difficult questions. Can't say I learnt anything more about Scientology from this (weird cult - Tom Cruise etc...), although I still find it amusing how people get so upset over the 'church' when it's exactly like every other 'religion', except at least you know who wrote the sodding book. |
