02/2017 Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Australia's most average man wins a trip to New York.

6.8/10


02/2017 Victor Frankenstein (2015)

I watched this a while ago, here: http://filmplop.blogspot.se/2016/02/200216-victor-frankenstein-2015.html


Podd watched it more recently. She was a little kinder to it than me, seemed to quite enjoy it.


02/2017 The Goonies (1985)

I didn't watch this, Podd did. I must be one of the few people who, as a child in the '80s, never saw this. Still haven't. Thought it looked shit then, still think it looks shit now.


Probably shit/10

02/2017 I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017)

Macon Blair, chum to/star of Filmplop fave Jeremy Saulnier's flicks, has written and directed his own.

It's a story about a woman trying to reclaim possessions stolen from her in a burglary. Her strange neighbour teams up with her and they go looking for her gear encountering many peculiar folk on the way.

For the first twenty minutes this feels like it's gonna be a drab, uninvolving film but it's just laying the groundwork for the off-centre, very funny, well acted, exciting nonsense/caper it turns into with a fairly bonkers ending.


Must be something good in the water in whatever town Blair and Saulnier come from. Cracking stuff.

8.4/10

Perkin

02/2017 Devil In The Dark (2017)

A pair of brothers try and reconnect over a few days hunting in the mountains. However there's 'something' up there with them.

Gets better as it goes along and ends very well.

6.8/10



02/2017 Operation Avalanche (2016)

A mockumentary style story about the moon landings being faked.

I once got in a cab where the first thing the driver said was that it was a full moon.

"Oh yeah," I said, looking out the window, "Very bright one."

"Yeah," he replies "Always had problems with the moon. Makes me feel funny. You know, affects my mood."


You meet the strangest of folk.

6.5/10

02/2017 The Assignment (2016)

A hitman ...Nope I can't be bothered. Look up the plot for this bloody nonsense yourself.
