Rate The Last Film You've Seen With Marks Out Of Ten - Part Two

Grand Budapest Hotel - 8/10. 2nd viewing. Somehow it reminds me of the exquisite little pastries that play such a crucial role in the film itself. A light and fluffy confection, elaborate, beautiful & sweet. And over too quickly. Yum.

Wow, I've never heard of that but checked up and it has a proper big time cast, will give it a go.

Put your weird head on first:)

If you like it, have a read of “Them - Adventures with Extremists” afterwards.

Phantom Thread:

No no no. I realise I’m probably swimming against the tide here, but I thought it was rubbish. Arse-numblingly, excruciatingly, dull. 2 hours of my life wasted. The preview clips, I liked. Great cast too. Daniel Day-Lewis is usually worth the admission price, and any flick with Lesley Manville, Julia Davis and Gina McKee in has to be worth a watch, right? Wrong! Tedious. Synopsis: Unpleasant elderly dressmaker gets weird with needy hotel waitress. It’s a ‘miss’.

I am Legend with the alternate ending. 8/10

Seen the original and thought it OK if not predictable but this has a much better ending so upped the rating a tad.

The Disaster Artist - loved it - although I recommend watching The Room first for a more enjoyable watch!

that was filmed around here (Lythe, Staithes, and up on the moors)

Cabin 28 .....7/10

Based on the true story that also inspired 'The Strangers'.

Horrible but worth a watch (if you can get past Terry Dwyers terrible American accent!)

This is one of the articles about the actual murders, theyre reinvestigating them as we speak...

My Friend Dahmer.....8/10

Great film, an insight into the coming of age of a serial killer.

Fantastic performance by Ross Lynch, he even makes you feel a bit sorry for him at times.

I really liked it, I think you'd probably have to be already interested in the subject tho.

Soldier Blue - 6.5/10 - This infamous Western is a fairly meandering story of a couple of survivors of a massacre by American Indians falling in love on their journey back to base, the reprisal by the cavalry is still quite shocking all these years later.

"The Greatest Showman": 10/10.

Best film musical since 'Les Miserables'. Fast, well-plotted, fine tunes/songs, great acting- and a singalong version possibly coming soon. See it- perhaps more than once- and marvel.

Donald Pleasance at his usual unpleasant best eh? BTW have you ever seen Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman? Although a dark comedy, it has serious moments like the ones you mention. Great film from the 70s

No I haven't, I can remember it but never actually seen it, I'll keep an eye out.
