Dunkirk 7/10.

It was very entertaining, if somewhat odd/novel in the way it was put together. A bit too fragmented for my taste, like one of those half-hour fly-on-the-wall jobbies where they keep you hanging on so you don't turn over and miss their ad-breaks. Also failed to capture the sense of hellish mayhem. It was like a large bunch of tourists on the beach at Margate, queuing for ice-creams and donkey-rides. The air combat bits saved it for me.

Whilst I am here...

Waynes World.

This was on as I was flicking through the channels before bed last night. Still a funny film, and it is scary how some of the characters (Ed O Neill) have aged. Rob Lowe hasn't though. I'm sure he has formaldehyde running through them veins.

7/10

Mother! 6/10. An allegory rather than a horror (which is what I thought it was until the last third of the movie, at which point the obvious penny dropped).

Lethargic and uninspired, albeit very clever.

Apocalypto: 6/10

Been a while since I've seen this one.

Load of actors speaking Mayan with a Brazilian accent, running around doing Mayan things and trying to kill each other, specially the protagonist who wants to save himself and his wife/baby. No idea why Mel Gibson decided it would be a good idea for a film. Can't say it didn't work, but can't really say it worked either. The plot moved like a bad action movie - good idea, good location, lots of possibilities and potential, but none of it fulfilled. No depth in any scene, nothing to give a proper feel for what things may have been like at that time and at that place.

Would recommend if you haven't seen it before; would not recommend a second viewing.

The Pirates of Somalia. 8/10. Just a damned good movie.

9/11

Charlie Sheen and Luis Guzman get trapped in an elevator in one of the twin towers. Other actors in the elevator as well; token black man and skinny white lady and slightly older white lady (Charlie Sheen's screen wife). Whoopi Goldberg has a small part in the film. Meh, can people be so thick in a panic situation? if this film is anything to go by then yes.

Low budget film using 9/11 and Bush footage that we have all seen hundreds of times, don't bother; it's not that great. 4/10

Bullet Head. 7/10. I thought it was a low-budget schlocker until I started watching it. John Malkovich. Good shit.

Dunkirk - 8/10

It was very well done but not a patch on Interstellar / Inception. I see Nolan is working on Memento now as his next project... hmm.

Agree with Hetzer... the air combat scenes stole the show. Lot of waiting about with fuck all going on other wise. I actually liked the way the film was shot, kept me engrossed in it.

Hans also stole the show for me with the sound track. He is literally an integral part of a Nolan production and you can see why he keeps using the guy.

Mother! - 5/10

Don't get me wrong, this was incredibly well shot and made and half way through I thought I had things pegged and then fuck me was I wrong. I have never really seen a film quite like it.

My head kept telling me there was an obvious reason about to explain... nope, it kept going and going right until the end and I just went... "what the fuck" out loud.

I knew nothing of this film before I watched it and I would also advise the same... don't be put off the 5/10 rating I gave it, I only gave it that because I did not personally enjoy it but as I said, it's an incredible film, just not for me. I feel 5/10 was my way of thinking it's 50/50 whether you'll think it was amazing or batshit mental.
