Moviepass #95 Sisters Brothers 5/10

This is probably one of the most conflicted movie rating I've done out of the 101 movies I've seen. I wanted to give it a 8/10. Acting was good I liked the story and it looked great...but...it was boring and the ending was a giant letdown. So..it gets a 5

Strong performances and a story about greed and consequences. The ending was magnificent and beautifully shot.

The movie wasn't about a shootout. While it is a Western of sorts, it has a compelling story to say. When they go back home to their mother and the way the whole end sequence is picturised is absolutely gorgeous.

Bad Samaritan - 2/4

A formulaic, humourless take on the "wrong one to fuck with" genre. I spent a lot of this film's duration thinking about how fantastic "Don't Breathe" was and wondering how many revenge thrillers lead by anti-heroes there were. This one is as generic as they come. Robbing the wrong guy. Why the wrong guy? He's a bad guy.
Stylistically it's derivative and appears to be more horror in tone than thriller however there are no effective scares and very little in the way of tension. I think a better effort could have been made with regards to the story structure and casting. I find it hard to sympathise with wankers and idiots and your protagonists are both. Kerry Condon is good, but Kerry Condon is always good. I find it hard to understand why this was made. This is a film without any substance or weight and it suffers from extremely bad character development, paint by numbers direction and a lack of addition to the already tired concept.

David Tennant obviously wanted to play against type and it's a pity that he looked sinister enough to be interesting and then was given nothing to do besides the usual charming psycho routine.

I suppose if you have never seen a revenge thriller with an antihero protagonist then this may entertain but amongst the other genre titles this is just a step above Death Wish 3 and a fair few down from Don't Breathe or even the new Death Wish remake.

Hostiles - 3/4

A powerfully storied yet slightly repetitive western with an incredible cast all working well enough to overpower the unrepentantly cliche'd delivery. Yes it's obvious in parts, even down to the blatantly copied dialogue from "Unforgiven"("I've killed just about everything that walked or crawled") but it is an offering in homage to the genre and you can tell it's all done with honest intentions.
Christian Bale plays a war weary army captain against Wes Studi's cancer beaten, battle scarred Cheyenne chief with Rosamund Pike tagging along as the damsel in distress. Support is provided by none other than Jesse Plemons, Ben Foster, Adam Beach, Stephen Lang and Rory Cochrane. It is packed with proven talent and none of the support is wasted, each plays an important part in the story so it has a very well established tone and rapport amongst the talent.

Unfortunately the story is entirely predictable. It's a tale of opposition, forced cohesion and ultimately redemption with an air of uncertainty.
You can connect the dots from the first introduction of each character but you're being given great performances across the cast so it's like having a top chef cook you a tasty burger. It's safe in practiced hands but it shouldn't knock your socks off if you have eaten out before.

Pacific Rim: Uprising - 2.5/4

This is Power Rangers. This is a Power Rangers film. Cheesy, kitsch and saccharin in all of the usual places but a lot more fun than I would have thought based on reviews. John Boyega is great and Burn Gorman and Charlie Day are fun but there is far too much thoughtless robot violence with questionable logic in all fundamental aspects of the plot so you can see Del Toro was nowhere near it. Still it's worth watching if you like big outlandish action films and it's not like it detracts from the admittedly bonkers original so for what it was I enjoyed it well enough.

Blue Iguana - 0/4

The only film ever to truly and completely waste Sam Rockwell and the only film I've ever seen him in where he brings nothing interesting to the table. He's trying with what he was given but man is he off key in this horrendous film.
Equally wasteful is it's misuse of the talented and hilarious Ben Schwartz as his criminal cohort.
The script is trash, the scene set ups are without care, effort or integrity and the finished product looks about as coherent as The Room. The person who made this film didn't care about what they were making. This is as bad as it gets.
There's a terrible woman in this film, absolutely awful she is. I think about 50% of that is the director's fault but if this piece of shit was released under the title "Unfunny Cunt Eats Noisily" it would be much more honest.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I think it's about a heist but it's really a collection of pointless fight scenes, "comical" crime plotting and honestly at least six protracted scenes of this cow slurping down various food stuffs with the audio noticeably increased and focused so as to guarantee you will get angry with it.

This is the most idiotic film in the world and I got all the way through Heather Graham in Say It Isn't So the other week so for fuck's sake.

I have rarely been made as angry as I am now by this utter turd and I'm glad because it will be a long time before I buy an unproven quantity ever again.


If I wanted to listen to some cow masticating I'd visit my fat gran more often.

Bad Times at the El Royale-8/10

Very fun, well acted suspense thriller. Love the way they flesh out the characters and tell each of their stories. Jeff Bridges is wonderful, John Hamm was great, Bill Pullman's kid is great, and Chris Hemsworth plays a cult leading tool.

Curse of the Demon (1957) - Pretty Good. Director Jacques Tourneur was smart and was like "Let's not actually show the Demon monster, it's 1957, it's going to look like shit". But the studio went ahead and added footage without him knowing, and it was a big rubber demon monster, whatever. Cool sequence where the monster is just a plume of smoke and his footprints just appear in the ground... looked kind of Lynchian. Kate Bush sampled this movie on "Hounds of Love" tell your friends.

Dead of Night (1945) - I liked this for the most part as well. About an architect that has to consult on some renovations and starts to realise that he has dreamt what's happening. All the guests at the house start telling stories and the movie turns into a proto Twilight Zone anthology film. Story about a dummy and at one point they get a little kid to play the dummy... kind of funny/unsettling

Bad Times at the El Royale - 3.75/5

Very Tarantino-esque. Had that feel, plot, everything going with it. Only thing that was missing was more bullets and blood flying about.

Blue Iguana was unfavourably compared to those mid 90's Tarantino rip-offs that kept appearing but that is a false comparison. There's no similarity in structure or style.

It's just outright dreck and I'm still mad about it.

I hope you guys read this because I don't want anybody to have to go through that shit.

All in all a very strong film but far closer to the morbidly comical than the genuinely terrifying.

Paul Whitehouse and Martin Freeman were absolutely wonderful. I am delighted to see Paul Whitehouse in films now after so long on television.


After rewatching this I have to re-appraise the ending as wonderful and myself as an idiot for not paying enough attention. There's nothing murky about it. In fact I'd say this is a 3.5/4 film.

First Man - 4/5. Good movie about Armstrong and the years leading up to the moon landing. Fairly good acting and direction.

I picked up Scott Pilgrim for £0.50 today. Prepared to give it a sober chance.

Also I FINALLY got a copy of Rent. This is a musical I have been waiting to see for about 15 years and I stumbled upon a copy today. A productive DVD hunt all in all.

Taye Diggs has a pretty good voice for an actor. I liked him in it.

Mid90s was ok. The acting was good & Jonah Hill shows promise as a director - but I wish the story was stronger.

The ending felt abrupt but the relationship between the siblings did a number on my soul. It felt too real.

Watching "Tag".

This has some big laughs in it. I find myself laughing, contemplating the joke and laughing again a lot. Good comedy chops on everybody involved, Renner was a perfect choice for this. Kyle Chandler plays a similar role in Game Night but he's written as far less likeable.

Jake Johnson throws away two of the funniest lines I've heard in years in this film. The man is just naturally gifted with comedy.
