Just saw Darkest Hour. Oldman and Mendelsohn are great, but even Joe Wright can't elevate this material over boilerplate awards bait. He is such a frustrating director; he must be SUFFOCATING under stale projects like this. Why is he wasting his talent?!

To be fair there’s not a lot of wiggle room with such a known subject and character but he took all that room and showed us the lesser known winston taking from personal stories from staff and colleagues etc. That’s never been done. You can’t do huge personal style stuff when you’re dealing with a personality and history like Churchill.

Annabelle.

Merely ok...a few scares and a few good moments (the elevator scene is amazing) but the sequel is so much better.

While the second is scarier, I actually think the first is a better movie. Great production design and direction, which is surprising considering it was made by the director of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

Yeah, that elevator scene is terrifying.

I prefer the second one. I think its better in every department, from acting to production design, to sound and specially the director. The first one seems kinda boring towards the end, and the ending is almost funny. It has some really cool moments, the elevator scene and the beginning are my favorites.

But overall, thats a good franchise right there...Dying to see The Nun.

It's been a while since I saw Annabelle, but I remember being really disappointed with it given how creepy they made her in The Conjuring, but I thought that the sequel was fantastic, and I liked the wee nod to the nun in the sequel too

Paddington 2. What a beautiful movie. Also, I already loved Hugh Grant. About a Boy gives him a lifetime pass for me. He was the perfect villain for this. Really wish he had been Gilderoy Lockhart in HP2.

I’m really excited for The Nun, but also totally dreading it because I know it’s gonna scare the fuck out of me.

The Post is good. ‘Oh look Tom Hanks and Meryll Streep are dressed up like it’s the 70s.’
She gets away with it cos she can act, but Hanks is just Hanks.
It’s probably a great film certain people in the world need right now. Freedom of the press blah blah. That’s not to be dismissive but it takes a long time to get to this point and doesn’t do anything with it when it gets there.


The very last scene is all the more cringe inducing for being totally unnecessary. It had made its point then does that?


*ps. Using retro filter to give it a genuine 70s feel took me out of it. Sat there thinking, Spielberg this is beneath you.


Wait for it to turn up on Netflix. Not an essential cinema trip at all.

It was a little too on the nose and preachy but I was mostly entertained. The scenes of the typeface being set and papers being printed were great. I could watch that shit all day.
