Started off promisingly but then all went a bit Basic Instinct. Don't think I've ever seen pubic depilation used as a plot device before (not in a mainstream Hollywood movie, at least) but hey, if it provides an excuse to get your leading lady to take her pants off, why not, right? Bizarre.

After this weekend, I think I'm giving up watching films.

Hah.
I went to see 'love, rosie' as an attempt to repair the battered thing that is my relationship with No2Daughter. I knew it was froth, but this was bad froth.
Utter tosh.

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Typical Seth Macfarlane, lots of gags about abnormal bodily functions, sex, fighting and death.

I found it a bit MEH, to be honest, sort of a bit like "Ted goes to 1882".  It was also obvious that some of the "Family Guy" gags just don't transfer to real life (I am thinking of the ice block bit)

Road.

Documentary about the Dunlop dynasty.  Pretty good on the whole though I think I'd have preferred them to leave the footage of Robert's fatal accident on the cutting-room floor.

The Lego Movie - meets, exceeds actually, my previously mentioned criteria of 'a good film'. Just watch it. A peach of a script, some excellent gags and an altogether fresh movie experience.

Only Lovers Left Alive

"Cult" vampire film with Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton and John Hurt.

Pure unadulterated drivel. In future I must remember that just because a film is rated 10-stars by many and 1-star by others, it is not necessarily the case that the 1-starrers have missed the point.  ::-) OK, it's pretty, and the music is interesting, but my goodness the dialogue! Didn't anyone dare mention it to the great Jim Jarmusch at any point during filming?

The Devil's Backbone

I've got plenty of time on my hands these days to watch the movies I want to! Brilliant, beautiful, awful.

That is fantastic film, if you liked it, try Butterfly's Tongue.

The Double - didn't work for me at all. Like watching a Kafka-esque tale (a Dostoyevsky one in reality but you get my drift) made my David Lynch with a soundtrack from a Peter Greenaway movie. Therein for me was I think it's problem; it felt like someone elses film, too many external reference points. I didn't know what I was watching, just too cerebral for me maybe, and I was left feeling cold and outside it. Maybe that was what was supposed to happen, I don't know.

It was gorgeous to watch. Lighting was moody and superb, excellently shot and the soundtrack enhanced the visuals to the max.... BUT, I have no idea what I was supposed to take away from the film itself. Something to do with identity, alienation, feeling forgotten etc. All that is transparently obvious...but what exactly beats me.

Grand Budapest Hotel. Odd, lots of miniatures, very mannered and a LOT of cameos. Very, very silly. Enjoyed it a lot.

Actually, once I had suspended my credibility radar, the film was quite watchable. But then, wadoino?

Gravity.  Meh.  The SFX are fairly realistic but the acting is drab.

Back To The Future Pt3

Never actually seen it all the way through in one go before. Very silly. Enjoyable but nowhere near as good as the first one. Never been a fan of Pt2.

John Clease's "Romance with a double bass" (1974).

If you had a soft spot for Polly the maid in Fawlty Towers (Connie Booth), you'll surely enjoy this filmette.

Mr Turner.

Slow, episodic, almost storyless.  Beautifully shot, beautifully acted.  Made me laugh in places where I was clearly the only one in the cinema who got the joke - or maybe was the only one who felt it was appropriate to laugh out loud.  It felt very much like a comment on attitudes, and a reminder that whilst the modern world brings us much, we've lost an awful lot too.

Good film.
