Watched 2 excellent movies today:
Alls quiet on the western front - brilliant. Not sure if I was ever meant to be sympathetic to the leads but never was… the waste of human life was never more stark..

Joker.. eventually got to it.. probably the best performance in years… I know there is a fair amount one can unpack but purely brilliant just for his acting chops.

Mission: Impossible 7/10
Mission: Impossible II 7/10

The second film might be the slightly better movie overall, but the first one has nostalgia going for it in my book because of the N64 game. The first one had better action (less slow motion stuff), while the second film had the better cast (except for the very cartoony villains with some of the worst accents I've heard in a while). Oh, and Thandie Newton being a godess will forever be a plus.

I also just love the mask gimmicks in these movies, as silly as they are. It just cracks me up every time.

Interesting take

Personally ai would rate the MI movies

Fallout 9
Rogue Nation 8
MI3 7
Ghost Protocol 7
MI2 6
MI 6

I loved MI2 when it came out as a more straightforward action adventure but it has not aged very well given how all the sequels use the same formula and surpass #2, while Mi remains its own fairly unique thing.

Mission: Impossible III

The best one yet. Great cast, Philip Seymour Hoffman brilliant as the villain and the stakes are more personal in this one. Good stuff. The franchise is really starting to find it's footing now. 8/10

Watched "Mosul". For a film that doesn't have much of plot, and where nearly every scene is a violent shoot-out, this film was quite well done and felt far more real than your average big-budget war film. Some scenes involving how kids are caught up in war are poignant and tough to watch.

The Menu.

Was enjoyable.

7.5/10

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Another good one, but not as good as III. A more light hearted movie (for better or worse), some stunning visuals as always and great spy action. 7/10

Which one had the AWFUL motorcycle chase where the tires changed depending on what surface they were riding on? 2 or 3???

Medieval.

Apparently, it’s the most expensive film ever made, by a Czech film company. ( it’s an English language film )

Tells the tale of a legendary Czech mercenary, turned rebel army leader, in his fight against the Catholic Church and corrupt leaders in Czechoslovakia.

Despite a very good cast, that includes a cameo from Michael Caine, it’s one to avoid, due to the whole film, being disjointed.

I started it, but the dialogue was especially painful, way too much exposition in every single conversation.

"You should speak to your brother, the Duke, who is leading the plot against the King."

"You want me to go to church and listen to Hus, the greatest anti-cleric of our time?"

Started at grating and quickly moved into unwatchable.

Swerve.

The Mrs would still say:

"Who's that guy? I wonder what he's up to."

I sat through the whole movie hoping that at some point it would switch up a gear.

Nope... Swerve.

I agree mate!

Absolutely amazing.
For those of you who haven't seen it, It's nothing like 'In Bruges', yet it's equally as good!

You haven't seen any of David Lynch's other movies have you?

Mulholland Drive was also messed up!

It’s a shame, as it’s a cracking tale, the cast and location was excellent.

As you say, the script was a mess.

Hope I haven’t over egged it
