Gravity. Incredibly well made, cheesy as fuck plotwise.

I watched Rampage a few nights ago - I was wildly underwhelmed, personally. Dwayne Johnson can usually make any shit movie seem at least vaguely entertaining to me, but I found myself struggling to even hold my attention to it. Maybe it was just me, maybe it's actually a good movie and I'm just sore I spent the 7 bucks to rent it on OnDemand and didn't immediately fall in love with it - I have a track record of spending more than I'd like on content I like even less than that what I spent was more. But less so, in a, in a 'less' type of way.
I was expecting more like a King Kong vibe, the recent one with john c reilly as the sort of shipwrecked older pilot - although I guess you could say it had that sort of vibe, if you really sucked at reading vibes I mean - I didn't actually read anything at all about the film beforehand, which is a really effective way to go about over spending on movies over the internet, if you're into that sort of thing, blindly renting trash and going 'yippeeee' like the vacuous human dumpster I are
And where the fuck was quinton jackson the whole movie, for that matter
*makes series of increasingly vapid complaints*
MONKEY WERR NO BIG ENOUFG TO ME BE SAY 'HE BIGG ENOUGH'

So many particulars. So many questions.
theres literally one funny line, where he is choking out a soldier and says 'yeah, its a big arm, don't fight it'. Other than that its just giant things fighting, which is OK, but thats all it is

Death of Stalin - astonishing cast doesn't quite gel in coal-black-comedy treatment of the big man's final days and the murderous and confusing aftermath. Everyone is individually good but the acting styles don't always mesh. Some of the script's brilliant, as you would expect from Armando Iannucci, some of it a bit try-hard. A sort of weird farce-fantasy, whose exaggerated and bitter feel might be in keeping with the subject but somehow you can never really suspend disbelief and buy these actors as actual Russians.
Saw it at the cinema, thought it was excellent.
The bit with the finger made the entire audience gasp .

Ant Man
Enjoyable, if B-movie type entry for the MCU. Paul Rudd does his thing and Michaels Pena and Douglas and Evangeline Lilly do their best.

Cats aren't affected by gravity
And in the scheme of horror films, it's pretty tame really which says something about how well it was all done.

Binge-watching the 2000s US detective show, Monk. Cozy viewing.
La La Land - musical oscar hoover with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. I much preferred Hail, Caesar which comes across as a love letter to B movie Hollywood. Cracking cast, too.

Both of them I enjoyed, but... both lacking in something, somehow. Out of the two, I preferred La La Land. Hail, Caesar was actively disappointing, whereas La La Land was just... okay. I actually enjoy it more in retrospect having seen the comparison Kermode did with "Let's Face the Music and Dance".
After watching each one, I checked Kermode's reviews and he mentions Singing in the Rain. Which I can see a little bit in both. Hail, Caesar was more satisfying for me, as I love the Coen Bros films and this made me laugh. LLL left me a bit cold. But I can appreciate the canvas and there's not enough musicals these days!

I don't think Connors has any talent really, but since he has his foot in the film board door, he should do a sequel to Fatal Deviation.

Deadpool 2. Proper up its own arse like the original and a tiresome vein of paedo jokes running right through it. That said, there are some funny bits. But I can't reccomend this to anyone. Oh look at me making knowing references to being in a film, is your mind not blown? nah.

Excellent Sci-Fi riddled with anarco-prim concepts. Better than Bladerunner.

Yes to the first, no to the last.
Been trying to catch up on good films I missed. So Wind River and It Comes at Night
Wind River loved the quietness, open and the snow. Felt like a western more than a thriller
It Comes at Night wasn't what I expected. So little was explained. Paranoia in the nuclear family. A slow burn like Wind River very good.

Reno- I may have been a little over enthused due to the sexy ideas in it.
Just watched American Animals
American Animals (2018) - IMDb
Really good film about kids seeking life transformation ... I was most impressed how the feeling of nervousness and panic were acted out around the robbery ... really drags you into it... my heart was pounding!
