So far in 2018...
Booked for this week...
My feedback thread is here.
Three Billboards is great movie, Well recommended.
Perfect for a plane journey. Ryan Reynolds and Sam L Jackson basically bringing exactly what you’d expect. Good fun
Also watched The Flight with Denzel Washington. Probably the best film I've seen that depicts the breakdown of someone not dealing with their alcohol addiction. Thought Denzel was superb.
"Mister John" on iPlayer.
Worth watching for the scene where Claire Keelan admits to having sex with another bloke, and wriggles out of her pants. I nearly had to reach for the tissues, and probably would have but for the wife sat on the next sofa.
Rest of it was kind of OK.
Deals with the issue of 2 returning WW2 veterans, one a black farm hand who served in a tank and the other, white in the air force. Then they return home to Mississippi.
Really good, if quite long film, recommended
'Their Finest Hour'. Totally far-fetched Hollywood nonsense which denigrated the heroic efforts of the brave chaps that the film was based upon. Dreadful.
Holliday Granger, though. Oh, matron!
Been on the watch list forever but never got to it. Really enjoyable with some serious questions about science and faith.
The three main actresses are unsurprisingly brilliant, and both emotive and funny. The supporting characters aren't bad either, but although it's well-made the direction seemed a little flat and film-making-by-numbers - the plot isn't immensely exciting and there are no real surprises, other that it all turns out quite nice again.
Not bad, but Dance is probably a better actor than director.
7/10

I would have watched it at the London Film Festival last year, but it was the closing night gala which meant tickets were £40 each...
There is an entire Discussion about it on here I can now read. Woohoo!
It works as a Star Wars film, I guess ( MrsTheWeary is the SW fan in the family) whereas taken out of the context of the franchise it’s not a great film unless you like things that go whizz bang. Some nice moments and it does make me want to visit Ireland.
FWIW - not that anyone gives two hoots, I just watched Dunkirk - the one with Kenny Branagh. The film was great but the music was better. The haunting ultra slowed down of version of Elgar's Nimrod was quite moving. But, nobody's really reading this are they ?
