Wealthy actors pretend to be poor and miserable.
Watching as I type this, so may come back to amend this.

28/02/2019 Behind The Curve (2018)
Documentary following the growing Flat Earth movement, a group of people who aren't going to let centuries of science shake their medieval beliefs.
This is one of the best things I've seen on Netflix. It's the ideal documentary in that it remains mostly impartial and lets its subjects speak for themselves. The NASA visit and gyroscope anecdote are particular highlights.

Swotty kidbrain finds his dad's plans for building a time machine, decides to build it, what could go wrong?
Fun, likable characters, good script, zippy pace. Yup, pretty good.

23/02/19 The Standoff At Sparrow Creek (2018)
Small casts, limited locations, tight script and good acting. All things we really like in a film!
I won't give much away as this film probably won't get the audience it deserves and it's worth seeking out (even with some highly questionable plot twists and unlikely decisions being made) but I thought it was very well made with one particular exchange/interrogation scene being a superb moment.
Podd thought it was boring old shite though. Aah well, swings and roundabouts.
8.2/10

Crispian mills now makes films as mediocre as the music he was once known for.
**Blows a slow, bored raspberry**
22/02/19 Overlord (2018)
A small team of paratroopers drop into occupied France during the final months of WW2. Their mission is to take out a communications hub that's blocking allied radio waves.
It goes a bit bollock shaped from the off as their plane gets shot to wank and half of them die before they've even managed to test their parachutes are working.
When the surviving members make it to the village that houses the comms centre, things get worse as the nazis in charge seem to have a secondary agenda and it turns out the old church being used as the base of their operations are being used for, well, an entirely different type of 'operations'.
So far, so seen it a hundred times. There's been no shortage of utterly bollocks films about nazis using strange medicines to raise the dead and create zombie super soldiers. This film, though, actually has a decent script, good acting and an obviously generous budget. The end result is like a mashup of Saving Private Ryan and Re-Animator.
Don't get me wrong, it's no masterpiece, but, like Dead Snow, it's one of those rare films in this surprisingly busy sub-genre that not only exceed expectations but are enjoyable in their own right.
It could do with being 15 minutes shorter and it also reminded me a little of The Descent in the sense of as much as I enjoyed it, part of me wonders if it would've been a better and more scary* film if the monsters hadn't turned up.
The Descent is flippin' superb either way though.
7.45/10

21/02/19 The Axiom (2018)
Low budget spooky effort where a young woman and her dickish friends travel to some magical park where the lady's sister is stuck in an alternative dimension or some other unlikely bollocks.

17/02/19 The Isle (2018)
Decent, old fashioned (in a good way) spooky film about three fellas who shipwreck on a semi-abandoned Scottish island inhabited by a small number of people reluctant to talk much about why they haven't left for a better life on the mainland.
The vibe reminded me of the original Whistle And I'll Come To You, no bad thing.
The end is a bit wobbly though and it could've done with being fifteen minutes shorter.

17/02/19 Us And Them (2017)
An angry young working class man has become sick of being fucked over by the system.
His factory job gone, the factory turned into high-end flats that the people who worked there could never afford.
The pub opposite the factory has gone from being a workers social hub to a sanitised gastropub.
The best him and his friends can now hope for is call centre jobs and enough money to get smashed on booze at the weekend.
He comes into possession of a phone belonging to a wealthy young woman. Scrolling through the messages and photos, he sees that her world is one of inherited privilege, the kind of affluence and comfort he will only ever glimpse through the heavy gates at the end of long driveways.
Him and two friends are angry at the imbalance of wealth in what is currently (subject to great change from the end of March) the world's fifth largest economy.
They don't want any kind of socialist utopia (I can dream, etc.), just a fair slice of the pie that they have arguably contributed more to than those who are receiving all the rewards.
They decide to take the family hostage and use them as an example that things have to change and the spiritually diminished, socially and economically abandoned working poor will start smashing the glass fences and be heard.
Fair fucking play to 'em.
However, best laid plans and all that, it starts going a bit bollock shaped.
It's a stylish, interesting, well made film that has something to say but, frustratingly, throws it away in an unsatisfying last third.
Still well worth a watch though.
The main character is played by Jack Roth, son of Tim. I'm glad to see he's inherited his Dad's ability to swear magnificently.

16/02/19 Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
I wasn't that fussed about seeing this. Never been a big Queen fan, just liked a few of their songs and could remember the majority of their biggest releases from the when they were in the charts.
Turns out the film's a lot of fun and, even if you're not a fan, there's a definite nostalgia factor for anyone who's formative years so often had this band's stuff playing as background music.

15/02/19 Destroyer (2018)
Critics are wanking in the daises about how great this film is. It's not. It's very average.
A shame as the same director made the under seen and underrated film The Invitation.
Nicole Kidman plays a drunk cop who looks like Ron Perlman dying from malnutrition.
The characters are all very thinly drawn, the story is as dull as it is cliched, it mistakes a lack of levity for profundity, the twist is underwhelming and all the facial closeups feel like it's trying too hard.
"Watch! Watch me as I ACT!!!"
Meh. Up yer bollocks.

09/02/19 The Quiet One (2018)
Blimey! Half way through the month and we've only seen four films between us! That's a poor show.
Anyway, *puts on tactful hat* this film is not blessed with high production values or actors of great experience.
The main cast get by OK, but beyond that, well, good on 'em for trying.
If you want to watch an amateur effort about a fella beating up people in a Midlands pub than this is for you. If you want something less terrible, there's plenty of choices out there.

02/02/19 This Is The End (2013)
Podd watched this, I didn't.
Just as well as the thought of cunts like James Franco, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride playing versions of themselves would make me want to kick my TV in the face.
I asked if it was a bit of a self-satisfied circle wank, she said it was a bit.
Thought as much.

02/02/19 The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)
Mediocre comedy with Wacky Best Friend Syndrome.
How to write every American comedy film.
1. Main character must be cinegenic.
2. Main character must be blandly everyperson.
3. Main character must find themselves in unlikely situation.
4. Main character must have Wacky Best Friend. Someone with no impulse control, funny dress sense, lack of self awareness and absolute loyalty to main character that will be touched upon in inevitable scene when Wacky Best Friend briefly removes the clown mask to show the human vulnerability underneath.
5. Plot must be completely predictable from the first frame until the last.
What a load of fucking bumsense.
01/02/19 The Sisters Brothers (2018)
A western film about two mercenary brothers which decided to remove anything entertaining and replace it with a huge amount of smugness.
Pointless, meandering and dull.
I fucking bet whoever reviewed it for The Guardian loved it.
Hang on, I'm off to check.
Yup, sure enough, they gave it 4/5.
Fuck off and take your tofu with you.
(But keep doing the occasionally brilliant stuff about politics and whatnot.)
Anyway, film's shit.

Acorn-budget horror effort that starts well, then gets increasingly toilet.
Also the second film we watched that day with '13' in the title.
Fascinating.

The Fear Of 13 (2015)
I didn't watch this, Podd did. But I have seen it before and it is fucking brilliant. If you haven't seen it, you should.
Easily in my top 10 of documentaries I've seen.

Aquaman (2018)
I went for a big poo during this film. One of those real 'I'll check my emails and read this copy of Viz' type sittings.
Anyway, managed to fill in the blanks pretty quickly after I returned from the bathroom. Podd thought it was quite good fun, so it probably was.

Peppermint (2018)
Silly old bollocks about a lady taking revenge a few years after her family are killed in a drive-by.
Also more enjoyable than it should be.

Widows (2018)
Very loosely based on the '80s British TV show but set in modern Chicago. The plot is obvious, the lame twists are predictable and I'm not sure what messages it's meant to have, if any.
However, it is very well acted, the 2hrs+ running time doesn't feel over long, the dialogue is good and there's some exciting action scenes.
I briefly knew one of the people who were the inspiration for the original series. Had some interesting stories to tell.

Polar (2019)
It's like two different films wedged together. The first one, about a retired hitman is a decent, well acted character study, comparable to Leon or something similarly thoughtful and decent.
The second one is like some cartoonish rubbish that was somehow made using the thought-crayons of a ten year old cretin who's playing with his action figures.
So both good and utterly ballsack.

Pledge (2018)
Three socially underdeveloped, awkward fellows have just started college and are trying to be accepted as 'pledges' in any fraternity that will pity them enough to accept them.
After being rejected everywhere else, one house, a long way off campus, seems willing to let them try out for membership.
Predictably enough, the fraternity they're trying out for is a little more sinister than the initial introduction would suggest.
To British eyes, well mine at least, the whole fraternity thing seems like utter bollocks that only a wanker would want to be part of. Rather than the boisterous, party-centric funhouses they're so often portrayed as in films, they're social comfort blankets where affluent brats live their entire college experience immersed in the company of their peer groups and social equals. Fucking babies.
Of course we all want friends and support, but friendship doesn't come with a membership card and matching blazers.
Anyway, that said, the three main cast members are believable, likable innocents and that's where the film succeeds more than we expected. As sympathetic characters, we actually want them to make it when things start getting a bit murdery.
Yeah, not too bad.

Encounter (2018)
Some fellas find a magical space egg that helps their disabled chum walk again.
Low budget and some wonky acting, but gets better as it goes along and finishes very well.

King Of Thieves (2018)
Film about the true life Hatton Garden job a few years ago when a bunch of pensioners bored through concrete walls to rip off a vault full of safety deposit boxes.
At the time, almost everyone was, like, fuckin' 'ell, fair play. That's proper old school heistery, no one hurt and taking from those who can (mostly, we presume) afford to lose a few quid.
Then they got nicked and almost everyone was, like, fuckin' 'ell, they're all full-on grandads. Proper old men. Fair play, having a crack at such a massive (victimless-ish) robbery when most people of that age are becoming slow moving human cardigans.
Then it turned out that, although advanced in years, they were a bunch of unpleasant old cunts and most people thought "Meh, fuck 'em" when they got sent down for it.
The film, in fairness, doesn't paint any of the characters in a particularly likable way and, from what I remember, does a pretty faithful recreation of the methods used to pull off such an impressive blag.

Also some murders and shit.

Beirut (2018)
Ten years after his life went to wank in a terrorist attack, a washed-up alcoholic former diplomat/deal maker is sent back to Beirut to negotiate some hostages being released.
It's written by the guy who done the screenplays for the Bourne films, so it's far more watchable than that description makes it sound and sometimes you want to watch a film with decent acting and a little thought put into it rather than the majority of potato bollocks that we seem to sit through.

Nothing to do with the film, but (rather embarrassingly) I still love the riff on this song:
Anyway, Orson Welles noiry stuff and all that. Good fun.
IO (2019)
The world has turned into a lifeless desert, two people decide they've done their best and they should prob get on one of the escape rockets that are taking everyone to the newly colonised Moon/Jupiter/Whatever.
Think it was half decent, can't really remember.
Dunno, I'm not massively into the Sci-Fi stuff.

Selfie From Hell (2018)
A woman says the word "Nokia" five times in front of a mirror and gets possessed or something.

The Super (2017)
A chap takes a job as a caretaker in a shabby block of flats, spooky stuff happens and a twist.
I've worked as a caretaker at a few places. Shit money, but you're left alone much of the time. Never saw any ghost children though.
It was mostly just piles of sick and blocked toilets. Occasional dead pigeon.
Yeah, apparently there's high-level talks over the film rights to my working life.

The Old Man And The Gun (2018)
I imagine most reviews of this film will include words like 'Golden', 'Autumnal', 'Reflective', 'Poignant' and 'Gentle'.
Fair enough, but this one shall make use of 'A bit dull', 'Should've been more amusing and engaging than it is' and 'A good documentary about the real world inspiration would be much more appealing to me'.

It's about a fella who takes his daughter on a long camping trip. He then feels glum because she wants to hang out with her friends.
Yes.
Hell Fest (2018)
Documentary about everyday life in Croydon.
Not really, it's a slasher film. Better than many similar efforts, but you ain't gonna remember it much after seeing it.

Breaking In (2018)
A wealthy fellow dies and leaves his house to his estranged daughter. She decides to sell the place, so takes her two kids up there to prepare it for sale.
Some rum buggers have heard that there's a stash of money in the safe, so they break in.
This presents a conflict of interest between the two groups; the robbers are inconvenienced by the family, hampering their progress, whereas the family would prefer not to have their home invaded and be murdered.
Anyway, with the husband stuck at work many miles away, the mum decides to fight back.
Good for her!

The Last Days (2013)
Spanish film where a mysterious epidemic starts killing anyone who goes outside.
Pretty much my dream scenario "Oh no! I can't go to work, so I'll have to spend a few years on the Playstation in my dressing gown eating Fray Bentos pies. Boo hoo."
Also means I wouldn't have to spend any time interacting with the terrible morons who make up (what often appears to be) the majority of people in this country.
Anyway, aside from some holes in the logic, the film's pretty good.

Man Vs. (2015)
Not the show where the chunky fella eats an entire deep-fried cow whilst gormless cretins clap him.
I bet his plumber's on speed dial.
"Hello, Tim, It's Adam."
"Oh fu... Hello, Adam. Is it the usual problem?"
"Yeah, I ate fifteen kilos of pork banjos at Sisterwife's Bucktoothed Diner yesterday. It's like someone's filled the U-bend with a gallon of chocolate concrete."
"I'll bring the depth charges, they might shake it loose."
"Cheers, gotta go, I ate twelve bowls of buttered fish knuckles in nine minutes this morning. Gotta go and add to the pile-up"
Anyway, this film's about some wannabe Bear Grylls* who gets stalked by something whilst filming his survival show. Pretty good fun for a low budget effort.

Brothers' Nest (2018)
Excellent Aussie film about two brothers plotting to murder their way into an inheritance.
Probably not a big spoiler to say things don't go quite as planned.
Well worth seeing.

Gremlins (1984)
I didn't watch this, Podd did.
Seen it before though, a number of times. Always troubled me about the 'don't feed them after midnight' thing. It's always after midnight, depending on when you're measuring from. What about time zones? Surely 'Don't feed them between midnight and 8am, local time' or something similar would be better Mogwailian husbandry advice?

211 (2018)
Story about a bunch of mercenaries (who probably all have cool action film names like Troy Rockfire, Max Gauntlet, Dynamo Clifton and Kenneth Wendell) who decide to rob a bank because someone didn't pay them for a previous job or something.
Based on a far more interesting real-life heist, this manages to make lots of gunfights and explosions a bit dull.
Wigolas Cage teaches us that shooting people makes you a more attentive father.
