Thought i’d start one of my favourite threads for the new year and anyone who likes all out action films with some gruesome deaths check out the new film Polar on Netflix

Took my dad to see Stan and Ollie last week. Dad recalls seeing them live back in the 50’s and said they were terrible. He was a big fan so I thought he might like this film.
It was a bit sugar coated but both Coogan and John C Reilly were superb. Very enjoyable and worth an 8/10.

Roma on Netflix. This is up for ten Oscars. It’s beautifully and lovingly filmed but God it’s dull and self indulgent with literally nothing happening. Avoid 4/10.
Mystic River. Saw this last night. Brooding and well acted and without the typical Hollywood happy ending. Decent 7/10.
Is that the old one with Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon? Set in Boston?
Good film that.
Yep that’s the one...it dates back to 2003.
Don’t know if Green Book made it into the 2018 version of this thread but saw it last night and loved it. May already be the best film I’ll see this year. 9/10
Some really good performances. Tim Robbins too. I like gritty films like that.
They don’t sugar coat any films set in Southie that’s for sure.
Planning to see this soon.
Yep Robbins was very good. An excellent cast.
Just read it was directed by Clint Eastwood.
His new one in the cinema at the moment looks good. The Mule.
It’s got decent reviewś. Not sure my missus will like it. Green Book is a film I want to see next and StraightOuttaCanton’s review suggests it’s worth it. My missus will probably like it too.
Clicked on this thread just to reccomend Green Book, watched it the other night and it was fantastic
Definitely recommend green book one of the best films I’ve seen in a long time
Anything with Clint attached to it will be a good film, looking forward to the mule but he must be some age now
Saw The Favourite last week and really enjoyed it. Olivia Coleman was brilliant and Rachel Weisz was 😍
Went to see Mary Queen of Scots on Friday and thought it was visually superb but verbally plodding.
Saw this last week. Clint is marvellous but he’s getting as good as playing an old man as he used to be at playing it super cool.
It’s a bit feelgoody but there’s no harm in that as far as I’m concerned and it’s got some beautifully soft comedy running all the way through it.
It’s a solid 7/10 but don’t think it’ll have anybody raving about it’s brilliance.
Watch it though
Netflix goodie if you’ve not discovered it.
Animal Kingdom with Ellen Barkin. It’s a bit Sons Of Anarchy-‘esque’ but very very good
I agree with you about The Favourite - it was excellent.
I’m in a cinema bar now - waiting for herself - and about to go in to see Mary Queen Of Scots. From the reviews it is worth a watch but not in the league of The Favourite.
Also trying to get to Colette and that Christian Bale film about Dick Cheney.
Endorse the Green Book recommendations, best film Ive seen in ages
Vice was excellent. Unbelievable what Cheney managed to manipulate - they did a great job of telling the story as well
