Lessons for today, if you beep at fat Russell Crowe and he asks for an apology, just apologise. :D

A lot more violent and sadistic than I was expecting. Has a frustrating lead who makes silly decisions to push the plot along but kept me on the edge of my seat for 90 minutes.
 
Dances with Wolves - The four hour version.

Utterly epic, I sat in front of the telly and simply didn't notice the time pass. Without a doubt, I think this is one of the finest films made.

10/10, no question.

14 Peaks on Netflix - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14079374/

Really enjoyed it!

It's about a Nepali ex- Gurkha and Uk special forces and his Nepalese sherpa team climbing the 14 highest peaks in 6 months.

If you're into mountains, hiking, mountaineering, etc. you should enjoy it.

Yeah i really enjoyed this too. I've been enjoying the recent bout of climbing based films (Dawn Wall, Free Solo, The Alpinist)

The Last Duel - 7½/10 (free on Disney+)



It's funny, I was thinking almost the opposite. It's actually a very short event, with some context applied around it, but as you mention it gets lengthened as we see it from different angles. I like stories that do the different angle thing, but I couldn't help thinking they weren't massively different in this case.

First run through you're thinking 'damn, Jacques Le Gris is a rapist?! How does that come about? Second run through you're thinking, 'damn, okay, he is a rapist... I thought it might be something more suspicious' and then third run through you just kinda get more story.

I assume it was based of each persons written accounts of the events, so you're limited as a creator by the facts given to you?

It was a good watch though.

Watched it last night and i agree, the wifes story was mostly irrelevant, other than pointing out she was very capable of running the estate etc on her own. It felt quite drawn out at that point and i was wishing they'd have shortened the movie a bit[/end spoiler]
 
Venom - Let Their Be Carnage 6/10

Was okay I guess. It was a little contrived but I think I was most disappointed with the dialog. Some of it seemed very basic.

i love the music too.
 
“Gangster Squad”, set in L.A. in the late forties, a bunch of untouchable type cops set out to bring down Mickey Cohen, (Sean Penn), who is hell bent on taking over L.A.
It’s so far over the top that it’s laughable, Sean Penn overacts like he’s been taking classes in it, Nick Nolte as L.A. chief of police looked like an overweight zombie, Ryan Gosling played Ryan Gosling having a fun day out, Emma Stone was drop dead gorgeous as Penn’s moll, who slides into Gosling’s bed, surprise surprise.
Everyone, both cops and crooks had guns that you load on Sunday and fire all week.
Giovanni Ribisi, (the medic who was killed in Saving Private Ryan), was the exception, he played a credible cop.
The 1940s cars were the stars of the show, -1 out of 10, give it a wide berth, or watch it for a laugh.
 
Venom Let There Be Carnage. The first one was better. This one felt they were trying to make it as better than the first one but forgot to add a decent plot to it.
 
The Last Duel on Disney +
Almost switched off halfway through. All i could think about was the scene in Monty Pythons Holy Grail, where John Cleese's character is taunting the knights. The casting was truly awful. Mullets and blonde hair, jesus wept. American actors (except Jodie Comer) portraying the main French characters attempting well spoken English accents. My suspension of disbelief was truly stretched to its limits.
Then i watched Venom Let There Be Carnage. Brain switch off material. Not as good as the first Venom film but mildy enjoyable.
 
King Richard - 7½/10

A very interesting story about the Williams sisters rise to stardom in the tennis world. It's interesting though, as I think was mentioned earlier, Richard himself comes across (to me) as rather a d*ck.
 
The Platform (french film). Pretty good film. The story-line was good. It will be abit creepy if they did this in real life.
