What Film (Movie) Have You Just Watched?

[Palatkik]

Steve Jobs [2015]

 

Good theatrical piece that is better than the earlier jOBS [2013] as it keeps the viewer interested in an otherwise rather dull subject of Apple computers that one (like me) might have no interest in whatsoever.

Hidden Figures [2016]

 

I really dislike films like this. An interesting 'true' story mired in the usual Hollywood trappings of stereotype racists and cliche.

Peaky Blinders, TV series set after the 1st World War in Birmingham, England - a few episodes in and it's doing very well. I got to say, these long format TV series are gonna take over the movies in terms of quality and class. A hollywood movie seems so, well, shorthand, these days.

 

I see Fargo is coming again, will be worth the wait.

Yes yes, it takes me a while to get to things.

Nocturnal Animals [2016]

 

Top notch thriller with style and some catchy jarring imagery of flesh right from the start that keeps the tempo and interest high.

Green Room [2015]

 

Well done blood and guts thriller but all seems rather pointless. Includes Capt Picard in it as a neo-nazi for interests sake and a good cover of a Dead Kennedys song.

The Nice Guys [2016]

 

Disappointing comedy PI buddy genre caper set in the seventies that was probably more fun to make than watch. Story so tedious it drowns out the jokes.

Life, Animated [2016]

 

Feel good documentary of a how a guy has overcome his autism to communicate with others through his knowledge of Disney characters.

Kong, Skull Island [2017]

 

Available with Korean HC in HD. Overpaid well known actors hamming it up in a b-movie script to some good special effects of a 1000 foot tall ape. Some won't believe it.
