Coss Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 The House That Jack Built (2018) Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman The story follows Jack, a highly intelligent serial killer, over the course of twelve years, and depicts the murders that really develop his inner madman. director Lars von Trier I'd say very good, but I think that 4 stars from 5 is appropriate, Lars von Trier can be an acquired taste. Well worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) the usual, Mr Bean does James Bond, it has some very funny moments, especially for MLG.

cavanami Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 It's that time of the year...had to do it....555 Bad Santa 2 (2016) Cast: Billy Bob Thornton , Tony Cox , Kathy Bates Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus, to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. An OK movie for taking up where the #1 left off. All the characters did a great job! Willy's mother (Kaythy Bates), what a piece of work, even Thurman Murman joined the festivities. **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 A Leaf of Faith (2018) This documentary explores Kratom, a botanical supplement that has been proposed as an alternative to today's opioid painkillers. Excellent and very informative. I am aware of kratom here in Thailand but it is outlawed. As far as I know, it would be the same as a cup of coffee as to addiction or stimulation. I didn't know of the relief of pain that kratom assists with. As I age and the parts continue to break and wear out I may have to further investigate. **** 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Fahrenheit 11/9 (2018) Filmmaker examines the current state of American politics, particularly the presidency and gun violence, while highlighting the power of grassroots democratic movements. More then just a hit piece on President Trump but an expose of Obama and the system. This doco jumps around quite a bit and about 1/2 of it is nonsense, IMO. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
