    Another Round (Druk)

    Thought I would start work on ploughing through the oscars.



    This won the foreign language I think I read.

    Ambiguous morals to take from this Danish fable but you have to respect these scandis when it comes to hardcore hooligan level alcoholism

    In one curious scene I noted that they order a top notch champagne and the waiter uncorks it and pours it in the kitchen to bring out on a tray. Very strange I thought. If I was paying top restaurant dollar for real champers I would want

    1. to see the cork pop and witness the foaming frenzy
    2. to see the bubbles I am drinking coming from said bottle (as opposed to a bottle of the $10 plonk I am more accustomed to gargling)

    Mads Michelson is certainly worth an oscar

    7.8/10

    You cannot watch this movie without a couple of snifters to join the worthy warriors at least a small way along their epic journey so I chose Drambuie and Cuarenta-y-tres


    The great thing about liquers is that they come pre-syruped and do not require any doctoring

    the best thing about this stomach churning woke hollywood love-in called the oscars was that it was won by hopkins, an 82 year old heterosexual white male who couldn't even be bothered to tune in or show up to collect his award.

    that'll learn 'em.

    ^ I think he skipped it to visit his fathers grave...

    --EDIT--

    Had a quick dig around and couldn't find any news about him turning gay, changing his preferred pronoun or if he now identifies as a mixed African/Asian.

    The Sound of Metal on Netflix.

    Review the last film you watched-68283630-5566-4c6e-802a-efe8dc2c383d-jpeg

    Not quite sure what I was expecting, but not the deep and emotional movie it turned out to be. A heavy metal drummer loses his hearing and thinks his life is over. His girlfriend gets him into a program for the deaf where he struggles readjust his life.

    ^Looks good, thanks

    Finally got round to watching Tenet

    Not sure if I followed it 100% but it all seemed like jolly good fun so I am sure

    7.4/10

    would be somewhere in a fair ballpark

    Started watching this film about 20 minutes in not having a clue what it was about or the film title 7/10.

    Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born with a superior olfactory sense, creates the world's finest perfume. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he searches for the ultimate scent.

    I think you're being generous. I found it to me mechanical, cold, computer generated crap.

    He vowed to stop doing action movies after the last Taken, but I assume they keep dangling cheques under his nose.

    He really is starting to look and sound like a man way past the stage of playing a vet taking on criminals.

    At least Michael Caine had the common sense to play his age when he last did it.

    Thanks to MissKit for reminding me to watch I Care A Lot

    It had popped up on my torrent feed but i had let it pass.

    But glad I went back as it was a lot of fun.

    The denouement was maybe not quite up to the measure of the preceding 1 hour 30 but on the whole it was still top notch taut drama and fine entertainment

    8.1/10

    MissKitt is on fire with her recommendations this month

    Up tonight was Sound of Metal 2019

    How did I miss this when it won 2 oscars.

    Beautifully observed performance from the Asian lead guy. I could not think where I had seen him until I remembered I think he was the lead in the Rykers Island prison murder mystery TV drama 'The Night Of' I think it was called, which was also excellent.

    An easy 8.125/10 from me

    No Sudden Move

    The movie has lovely period detail and a great cast and a lovely twisty turny cat and mouse tale woven into some auto-industry dark history.

    I am not sure if my struggle to follow plot-lines is a symptom of my slow neural deterioration or whether movies really are getting more convoluted. But it was all jolly good fun if you don't worry too much about the details. Nice to see erstwhile minor movie legend Ray Liotta showing that his screen presence has not diminished.

    We need to see more of him.

    7.8/10

    The Many Saints of Newark

    Lots of fun to be had for Sopranos fans in this prequel to the TV show with stacks of dramatised references to historical events recounted in dialogue from the original TV show.

    Very funny younger versions of many of the characters show up.

    The film manages to run a race theme without feeling slavishly politically suffocating like so many other recent productions.

    Ray Liotta is still a stand up knock out as a mafioso. I just read that he was supposed to be in the TV series season 3/4 but the engagement fell through.

    I did not realise until the titles scrolled and I saw the name Gandolfini that the guy playing young Tony is actually James Gandofini's son.

    The female trophy-wife lead is a horn cracker and thank the gods the #metoo moratorium on tits-oot in the movies seems to thankfully have run its course.

    The Guilty.

    Boring and depressing.

    You'd probably like it.

    "The Judge". A 2014 production, well casted and some excellent performances from Robert Downey Jnr, Robert Duvall (particularly, especially in his advanced age), Vera Farmiga, and Billy Bob Thornton. Hotshot Chicago lawyer (Downey) returns to small town Indiana for his mother's funeral and becomes embroiled in a potential murder case against his father (Duvall), the local Judge.

    ^ I remember watching that years ago . . . surprisingly touching, especially on Duvall's part. I'm sure some of us had a father similar to him in some aspects . . . some of which we only understood years later.

    Yes, a very good movie


    Anyhow, not a movie review but a series review.

    We just finished watching a mini-series called Nine Perfect Strangers and it was surprisingly good. Nicole Kidman is very, very different from what she usually does . . . and she does it well. Disturbingly well.



    Not usually a fan of this type of thing but it was very good.

    ...a) Dune: Part I of a pedestrian sci-fi borefest about warring humans on other planets...tedious...and at 2.5 hours, lengthy...

    ...b) Of much greater interest: when the cue to stand appeared on the screen, approximately 5 (including SD and me) of the audience of around 50-60 stood. Everybody else remained seated, chatting and munching...is this a small sign of something beginning to crumble around the edges?
