It’s hard to think of a director other than Kevin Smith who is more “of their time.”

This one was just called Boar, but Razorback looks good.

11. The Super Mario Bros. Movie - 9 Apr
Utterly atrocius. Bad in every way. Seemed like a bunch of Mario and Nintendo references working as an advert for them, but wrapped in a movie. Badly. Even my Boy (about to be 10) didn't like it.

Sonic finally has something to shout about over Mario cos that was a far far better movie.

38. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
A re-watch of David Finchers version of the Stieg Larson book. It's a really solid movie with a great atmosphere and its pretty loyal to the book but despite my love of Fincher, I think this is one of his weaker movies. Its still good - weak fincher is still better than most directors imo. But possibly because I enjoyed the book so much so there's no surprises or twists - its just a pretty faithful version of the same story. I've never watched the original movie trilogy and might give that a go in a few months [8]

39. Fantastic Mr Fox 

I know Wes Anderson is divisive but I enjoyed this. Its not amazing and suffers the same flaws that just about every Anderson movie does but still, Its a nice take on the book that adds in Andersons own distinct style for better or worse and the animation is fresh compared to the glut of CGI stuff we get. Whole family enjoyed it which is always a plus. I might be over rating this because it was also a favourite childs book but hey ho - [7]

40. The Revenant

A first watch on a movie that I've been meaning to get to for many a year. Its absolute beatufiul to watch and the atmosphere is cracking throughout (the urge to play a bit of RDR2 after was strong) The plot is maybe a bit too simple for a movie that is 190 minutes or so and I still find DiCaprio odd for some roles (although there is no doubt he is giving it socks) I generally prefer my movies with more dialogue but this was still a great watch [8]

Leni Riefenstahl?

Outrageous work

Thank you.

The Forgotten (2004)

Julianne Moore and Big Dom West have dead kids but turns out the kids might not be real but then turns out they might be real and not dead and it's all fucking insane and then at the end it's even more insane and what the fuck even is rhis

8/10 I think dunno

It just popped up on a site I was on and reviews said it's fucking mental so went for it. And it is.

Nobody 
John Wick type movie mixed with a touch of those Liam Neeson old-man-can-go action movies. Its not that great and out stays its welcome for me, and didn't lean into the silliness of it all enough for the comedy side of things, but it does have Bob Odenkirk in the lead role and he's great as Hutch. Think I'd watch anything with him in it, so dependable. Christopher lloyd also has a fun cameo but the main bad guy is a horrible lump of over acting cliche. 

Worth a gander if you are bored for both Odenkirk and the fab bus scene fight. Just be aware it never really pops [6]

Future Shock : The Story of 2000AD

Splendid story of the origins and dev of the old comic I read up until about 1983 or so.  Great putting faces to those artists and writers at the very least.

Pretty eye opening re its influence in the film industry today as well. Worth a look.

Is that on one of the streaming services? Sounds good.

Cool, I'll definitely give it a shot for that price.

Nice one Davy. Bookmarked for later.

That's a great doco - watched it last year. I think it was on Film 4

There's a bluray of the doc with a fair amount of extra interviews. It's £8 - am tempted.
