I watched kidulthood, adulthood and then anuvahood. Good films about the repercussions of been a kid n violence.

Well spotted and indeed I did! That’s going to get watched tonight.
The trilogy peaks with Adulthood imo, don't get too excited about Brotherhood.
I know Anuvahood is a parody but it's painfully close to the truth about Adam Deacon and his ensuing mental breakdown.
Wind River is a good film. Well worth watching.
Yesterday I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7131622/
I love a Tarantino movie and I'm glad I finally got around to watching the whole thing through because,
as much as I enjoyed the earlier part of the film, for me, it got better as it went on.
I can't really explain it but during the first third or so of the film,
I was struggling to see what the main focus of the whole thing was or where it was going.
Glad I saw it all now. I really liked Pitts's character and the lovely Margot Robbie, of course (even though she's a rather lean lass).

Damn I never knew this news! - http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/artic...ed-from-contacting-noel-clarke-after-trolling true.
Adam Deacon wasn’t in this one. I really enjoyed Brotherhood. Would recommend the whole 3 to anyone great films.

I've just watched Captain Fantastic, on iPlayer for another 29 days. Not a Marvel movie, or anything close. Didn't expect to watch it all the way through, but found it compelling in a slow, thoughtful kind of way. Might be a Viggo Mortensen thing... he has a brooding presence that adds depth to a role somehow. It's a bit more cheerful than The Road, thankfully, but it made me cry over a character you don't meet. That takes some doing really. 8/10.
@mrbell1984 Yeah, BH was made after all the trouble so wasn't a part of it.
If you like these kind of movies, check out Ill Manors, makes the "hood" trilogy look like a pre-school special, it's very dark and bleak.

Will do. I would have thought the trouble was caused by Deacon not been in that film but the news article was from 2015 so couldn’t have been that.
EDIT: Damn that films brutal, pretty horrible!

Knives out
Gave up on this very early so won't rate it. Really just wasn't for me at all.

@mrbell1984 just happened to see your edit, you watched it then?
Quite an achievement as well for Ben Drew, aka Plan B who wrote and directed it and also made an album to accompany it.
So next on the list...Harry Brown?

Yeh I watched it. Pretty brutal. Was a little tense when they where trying to rescue the baby though.
Not sure what's next but I'll check out Harry Brown whatever that is.Yeh I watched it. Pretty brutal. Was a little tense when they where trying to rescue the baby though.
It touches on the same london broken Britain tropes but its Michael Caine as a pensioner who's had enough and goes a bit death wish.
Yea, Ill Manors was very good
Reminded me of a British version of Gran Torino, which was also excellent.
Joker - 4/10
I just don't get it, don't get the hype. Phoenix's performance was good but just served to carry an otherwise boring and generic film.
2 Hours of my life I honestly want back. Pacing was way too slow and just seemed to drag on.

Couldn't agree more - I went in not even realising about the whole continual shot thing and expected a standout war film - sadly I found it a bit boring and essentially the same story as Saving Private Ryan (which was a great war film imo!)
I really liked this movie as well. Totally not my thing but I watched all of it and thought about it for a good few days afterwards
