My movie haul for the weekend: 

 

'You were never really here'  -  8/10

 

https://youtu.be/R8oYYg75Qvg

 

'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'  -  9/10

 

https://youtu.be/tg52up16eq0

 

Mary Queen of Scots  -  3.5/10

 

https://youtu.be/T5l8cvuo7IA

 

This movie really grated my cheese - forced diversity to please the PC-police and littered with historical inaccuracies. Black nobility in 16th century Scotland?! I'm all for diverse casting, but if you're making a movie depicting true historical events, keep it that way or make your film a caricature of actual events.

Must watch 'You were never really here'  :thumbup:

My average day is filled with enough trauma/drama

 

The last thing I would want to do is watch something that deals with even worse trauma, no matter how real.

 

We rarely watch TV and when we do, it is to escape, not be reminded.

 

So on this front - Spiderman rules :clap:  (and re runs of the classics ....which are also starting again according to your thread)

Academy awards really are becoming less and less important. Didn't even realise they were on till Sunday evening.

 

The best part of it all I guess was the eventual recognition of Richard E Grant... Even if it was just a nomination

Respect. Tough job, thanks for taking it on.

I've watched the last part of Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, from that "leap of faith" scene a couple of times now, and it as near as I have ever seen the most perfect film in every sense from there on.  I am very, very happy about their win.

For those unaware of the film genius that is Neil Breen.

Prepare to be amazed.

Trailers for 2 of the 5 films witten, produced, directed by and starring Neil Breen himself.

Double Down and Fateful Findings. Both are absolute masterpieces.

I've seen both movies and have the rest lined up. I can assure you. These films are legit.

They are not a parody of any kind.

 

Neil Breen has gathered a cult following over the last decade or so. His movies have the budget of a Somalian cigarette vendor. And the talent of Marelize on a bicycle.

As a result he has raised funds via a crowdfunding campaign for new movies.

The increased budget really shows in his latest title below. Twisted Pair.

I can't wait to see it
