I stuck with it and it does get better. It's not great, but worth finishing.
El Camino bored me, think I had a nap.
I turned Fractured off after about 5 minutes because again it was really boring.
timothy chamolet is very talented, first saw him in call me by your name as was convinced he was a french actor!The King on Netflix is pretty good if you can appreciate a slow build up, I enjoyed it. 7/10 movie with a solid lead actor.

maybe he is actually and his american accent is top notch lol, either way great actor
want to watch the king tonight, hope i enjoy it
only heard good things about deaging so farThe Irishman - 8.5/10
Great storyline, typical classy Scorcese direction and some immense acting. Pesci gave a brilliantly layered performance. No one does simmering rage like he does. I also enjoyed Al Pacino who was over the top as ever. It's quite a sad film and doesn't glorify the mafia way of life which Goodfellas and Casino did.
It loses points for the use of de-aging effects which make half of the film look like a computer game. The technology isn't fit for purpose yet. It's something I just couldn't get passed and it definitely hindered my enjoyment. It's also about 20 mins too long.
It's definitely a must watch though. It's just a shame about the effects.

27th November for Nexflix.Just going on from previous posts re. "The Irishman", do we know when it will be available on Netflix? I've had this bookmarked in my head for bloody ages now!
Cheers Chiefy!27th November for Nexflix.
only heard good things about deaging so far
sounds like it will be great regardless. cant wait for it to reach netflix
how come you sought out cinema release? just big Scorcese fan?
can't wait to see this film, read the book years ago and loved it.
The de-aging special effects seem to be dividing opinion. Some people seem to have a real issue with it. Listening to the film review on 5live Mark Kermode was OK with it but Simon Mayo wasn't.
Part of the reason Scorsese went with Netflix is because supposedly they have the best technology for that sort of thing and apparently he was insistent on using the same actors rather than using younger actors for the earlier years.
I wonder if that is because there is a strong theme about friendship running throughout the film and for him De Nero, Pacino and Pesci that's particularly relevant as it's probably the last time they will work together.
What's it about, without giving too much away?the king 7/10
felt it wasnt as epic as i was expecting but still good
What's it about, without giving too much away?
I enjoyed it.Joker.
Film 8/10.
Phoenix performance 9.5/10.
One of the best leads I can remember. Darker than dark performance.
As said massive nods to King of comedy and I didn't realise that De Nero and Zazie Beetz were in it which was a nice bonus.
Okay. Not my cup of tea. Sounds daft!alien shapeshifter poses as king henry v and goes to war with france because thats where his spaceship has been hidden
lol sorry just joshingOkay. Not my cup of tea. Sounds daft!
lol sorry just joshing
its about king henry V and his attitude to war with france plus the battle of agincourt
yes beleive so,shakespeareSo it's an adaptation of Henry V?
Been to see Le Mans 66 as I am a bit of a petrol head - very good 8/10 immersive on a big screen- interesting storyline - racing shots were effective as you were in the story - ex Batman Bale makes a good disruptive Brit - Corporate interference in full vogue !
a kingWhat's it about, without giving too much away?
a king
Loved it and will go again - class acting - in a way as LeMans 66 it is a pastiche on true event with clever juxtaposition- soundtrack also very goodWatched Once upon a time in Hollywood last night and I honestly don't know what to make of it.
Very peculiar premise, not sure what Tarantino was trying to achieve. Pretty quirky though, some good cameos, Mike Moh was funny as Bruce Lee, though I don't think the dialogue hit the heights of some of his films though
Green book - one of the best films I've seen for ages. True story. On Amazon or Netflix, can't remember which. Dead easy to follow if, like me, you can't follow complicated plots.
enjoyed it, wasn't quite as intense as I thought it would be given the subject matter. Two leads were great.
Free Solo
A documentary about a man who thinks it's a good idea to climb huge dangerous mountains without the aid of ropes or anything safety related.
It's as gripping (pardon the pun) and nerve wracking as any huge blockbuster film.
9/10
classic docufilm ! Saw it for the third time when my mum was up at the weekend. Amazing
dawn wall on Netflix also good if you like that type of stuff
