Finally got to see Small Things Like These - a 2024 film detailing the cruelty of the Catholic church in the 80s in Ireland.
Very bleak and slow moving but an amazing piece of acting from Cillian Murphy. His character says so much with very few words. A difficult watch...1 -
On a whim when we were walking past the Picturehouse in East Dulwich yesterday afternoon we popped in to see the new Steve Coogan film Penguin Lessons and it was brilliant. Funny, heart warming, sad in places and thoroughly enjoyable.1

Never been a big Dylan fan but really enjoyed, A Complete Unknown. Didn’t realise it was a line out of, Like A Rolling Stone?
Did come away thinking that he wasn’t a very nice guy, not sure why, and Joan Baez was a bit of a goer;)
I also came away thinking I need to check out his back catalogue, currently listening to, Highway 61 Revisited and enjoying.1 -

Example, Tonight Show 10th anniversary show in 1992. In rehearsals, he sang a pitch perfect version of 'Like and rolling stone'. Found out he was not going to be the only recgonised musician on stage (according to no other than David Letterman) and turned in this performance:

Bob does whatever Bob wants. Still the best lyricist of the last 50 years though...0 -
Got round to seeing Late Night With The Devil last night, very entertaining horror art it a 70s chat show. I even liked the ending which is probably divisive1

A lot of Brooks stuff is genuinely "classic" in the sense of being timelessly funny, The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein etc are as funny now as they were originally which is quite a feat.McBobbin said:Not even slightly new, but the original Producers film by Mel Brooks is on iPlayer... I'd forgotten how funny it is1 -
We saw the preview last night at Greenwich Picturehouse. Agree! It’s on general release from mid April.se9addick said:On a whim when we were walking past the Picturehouse in East Dulwich yesterday afternoon we popped in to see the new Steve Coogan film Penguin Lessons and it was brilliant.

Fuck, I switched off after about 30seconds, bloody awful! Even the backing singers were giving him the look.BalladMan said:

Mind, maybe he's still out for revenge when he was pelted for going electric at the Newport Folk Festival.
I've only seen him live the once about 10 years ago at Brixton Academy, I think, I wont be hurrying back if he tours again. That night was bloody awful too!0 -

I don't mind the Beatles but a quadrilogy? Not sure about that. Especially if the first one only middling business/reception but everyone is tied into completing 4.stoneroses19 said:Beatles quadrilogy of films coming out in 2028. Directed by Sam Mendes.0 -
They're going to be filmed at the same time and all four films released within same month.thenewbie said:

The Amateur - Bourne less the brawn. Malek is pretty decent. Slow in places, strangely flat ending but I really enjoyed the vast majority of this spy thriller. Far prefer it to the usual coordinated punch ups and car chases. A real drought of decent films over the past month but feel this was worth a watch if you like the genre.1

Saw A Minecraft Movie (because the offspring really wanted to).
It's exactly what you think it's going to be, a completely bog standard "protagonists travel into video game world" porridge with Jack Black playing Jack Black as he always does.
Not offensively bad but not worth it for anyone older than about 13 honestly.0 -
This is pretty much how we plays all gigs nowadays. Not worth the entrance fee.IdleHans said:

Thought it was pretty awful, but then I'm not the target market!!

Absolutely not true. His last gigs in London - at the Palladium in 2022 and at Royal Albert Hall in 2024 were intense and often beautiful. He was singing with care.BalladMan said:

Enjoyed Sinners tonight, but I think the first half of the film before the vampire shenanigans kick off is significantly better than what comes after.0

Sinners - Excellent0
-
Warfare - one of the best war films in many years. Intense, claustrophobic and absorbing.
Sinners - One of the films of the decade. Some slight Dusk til Dawn vibes but that aside it is very original, incredibly ambitious, a bit madcap but overall a resounding success with one scene in particular pushing it to impressive heights of imagination. A film that deserves to be watched on the big screen and sure to become a classic of the genre.0 -

Saw Marching Powder last night
It was decent. A lot of it down to Geoff Bell, Danny Dyer and Stephanie Leonadis. Before anyone gets pissy, its a film by Nick Love starring Danny Dyer it isn't taking itself overly seriously and does a good job at observing and being scathing about societal stereotypes. It won't win any awards, I laughed at several points unprompted and the heart it found, yeah it was a bit cod and the set pieces could be pulled apart if you are unable to completely suspend disbelief but its a good film, doesn't waste any scenes.
I am now braced for all the gak heads in my local to start referring to dickie.
We will all recognise characters from the story or even recognise little bits of ourselves. Hopefully nobody fully recognises themselves portrayed!
Good British film, good story, not perfect and I wasn't expecting it to give me profound thoughts, I wanted to be entertained and it absolutely did that

The trailer for The Smashing Machine has been released. 👌🏻

Watched I'm Still Here last night. It's one of those films where I just sat there watching the end credits roll for quite some time. Really special.0

Thunderbolts - very very much enjoyed this. Florence Pugh ran the show and proved she is just as bad ass or more than he elder and late Black Widow sister. The introduction of the newbie ‘Bob’ was gripping and well acted by Lewis Pullman.
Quite a lot of well timed humour / smile on face rather than PMSL mind.
Would watch again which is a good barometer as haven’t rewatched any Marvel movie twice since the Avengers finals. 8/100 -
The Ballad Of Wallis Island......funny and moving in equal measure. Great performances all round. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can highly recommend.3

Cheers, Phil, it's on my list to do next week1
