  • Great Expectations (2012) This Mike Newell directed adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic was pretty bland. Ralph Fiennes and Robbie Coltrane were good in their supporting roles, but Jeremy Irvine as the lead was uninteresting and the romance t…
  • I also really, really enjoyed Michael Clayton. --- Annihilation (2018) Not sure about this... Some interesting stuff in there, so I'll need a rewatch. Men, Women & Children (2014) Jason Reitman's drama about how online addiction affec…
  • Your cats just made my day, thank you. I don't have one, but I love them.
  • Unable to edit previous post, no idea why. It says "edited" but it isn't. Giving up on that, and trying to add further commentary here. --- Now as for how any of that relates to Bond, I couldn't care less either way. I don't care in general if…
  • Okay, so about half of that is missing, and I agreed with @bondjames and @NicNac on some stuff, but I really need to go now, regardless of the messily truncated post. Stupid malfunctioning technology. Editing problems as well as not saving the whole…
  • What the heck... what happened to the rest of my post? Damn...

  • Kill Your Darlings (2013) About the college days of Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe) and buddies (Lucien Carr, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs - played by Dane DeHaan, Jack Huston, Ben Foster) and about a killing. Based on a true story I wasn't…

  • Tirez sur le pianiste - Shoot The Piano Player AKA Shoot The Pianist (1960) Truffaut. Charles Aznavour as the pianist. I didn't care for this much myself, a classic though it may be. The Diary Of A Teenager Girl (2015) I wonder if people were …

  • The Devil Wears Prada (2006) Not bad, I suppose, but not for me. Cars 3 (2017) Well, I needed to check out Jackson Storm... and he made me laugh, so all good. I realize I'm hardly the target audience for these, but they're still watchable even …

  • The Lost City Of Z (2016) Pretty good, though somewhat forgettable. Hell Or High Water (2016) Unfortunately this never came to theatres here. Finally got around to seeing it and liked it a lot. Loving (2016) This never came to theatres here…

  • Yeah exactly that. Also, my friends are casual movie goers/watchers, they probably see less in a year that I see in a month, so there's that, too. And yes, "stupid title" is a ridiculous reason not to watch a classic.

  • @Creasy47 Yeah I love all that stuff. And, hey, actors need to do their homework and proper research if they care about their craft. Which he does, so. :) ( Just to be clear, though, above I was referring to the next scene = pt. 2, with Oliver, not …

  • Hmm, Dimi... Thanks then. Happy to... delight. :)
  • Dimi, I don't believe you read it that fast, so I take it you're just after free booze... ;)
