I thought it was a well made movie about the plane landing in the Hudson. Tom Hanks is very good, and Eckhart and Linny are fine with the limited roles they have, the structure of the film worked well, and dramatising an event that everyone knows was a successful landing could be tough but it still felt unnerving watching it. My one main criticism of it, would be that Tully - nice to catch a 90 minute film these days. I thought it was a well made movie about a woman struggling to raise a newborn baby. Charlize Theron is very good, and Duplass and Davis are fine with the limited roles they have, the structure of the film worked well, and dramatising an event that many people are familiar with could be tough but it still felt rewarding watching it. No main criticisms. Edited February 15, 2019 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted February 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2019 Sully....Tully... As part of VT’s “ully” series, I can offer “Bully”, Larry Clark’s 2001 troubling fact based youth crime drama. Been a while since I watched it but it left an impression.

Rodders Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The Lego Movie 2 is more of the same smartly written colourful fun. Great family friendly film with plenty of good gags for the adults in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 War for the planet of the.apes was a.let down compared with the previous two films in the recent rebooted trilogy. A little too po-faced, slow paced and underwhelming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Not a huge fan of Marvel but Venom was great, anything with Tom Hardy usually is. Love the humour in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Watched Venom today. It’s not bad, although I thought the fight at the end was poor. The interaction with Eddie and Venom was very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Two films: Casino - absolute classic. Love it! As good as Goodfellas in my opinion. Wonderful score as well. Dirty Grandpa - just 90 mins of cock and fanny jokes. Admittedly funny in parts but Bob De Niro, how low you have fallen!

Mark Albrighton Posted February 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2019 Seedy underbelly evening for me tonight....film wise, anyway. Just rewatched “Nightcrawler”, Jake being all creepy but industrious. I think it will prove to be one of the most memorable films of the era in years to come. Just about to rewatch the film that supposedly resulted in Mark Kermode being punched by a bloke in a pub in Manchester, “Blue Velvet”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 DB is good but never hits the heights of casino / goodfellas imo, it's alongside Bronx tale and once upon a time in America 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 'Burning' is really really good, though too long. It's a Korean movie, directed by Lee Chang-dong, in which a distinctly dopey guy from the countryside who is making a half-hearted effort at becoming a writer meets a girl he used to know when in the city one day, and then he fairly blatantly falls in love with her. She leaves him to feed her cat, which he does (but never sees it) while she goes on a trip to Nairobi, and when she comes back she's accompanied by a very dashing chap with a Porsche and a very nice apartment who seems to have stepped in from a Bret Easton Ellis novel (could be any of them). Then they hang out together for a while, with some fairly complicated but largely unspoken sexual dynamics between them, and then she goes missing and the whole thing gets even more serpentine and doesn't give many answers. The performances are great, and there's one extended scene at the dopey guy's farm where all three characters are together on one very complicated dope-and-confession-filled evening with a spectacular sunset that will live long in the memory. Give it a go, but be fully forewarned about the length. It also has nearly as many false endings as the last 'Lord of the Rings'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
