Last Flag Flying

Loved this film

9/10
 
Last Jedi

Some good scenes but the middle dragged greatly. I was bored by Finn's storyline and his trip to the casino. Rey's sequences with Luke also bored me.
 
Evita (not one for musicals but this always blows me away)
 


Really good oldschool style thriller with some well shot bursts of action and plenty of twists and turns. 8/10

Kedi (aka Nine Lives: Cats in Istanbul) (2016)

IMHO a rather remarkable documentary with great sensibility about the cats living in the city center of Istanbul, and their obvious place in the cityscape.

Truly fascinating how the people (including shop owners, restaurant owners, fishermen etc) in the city heartfully and almost philosofically cares for these felines, which lives are far from your regular stray cats. And yeah, of course there will be those bloody adorable kittens..
 
The Fate of the Furious

The usual absurdity added with the Dom has gone rogue plot.
 
The Little Hours (2017)
The Boss - Extended Cut (2016)
 
Paddington 2

Utterly charming and optimistic film. Hugh Grant is an early contender for villain of the year.

9/10

Damn, this was a beautiful movie. Since it was hyped here and elsewere, I held my hopes quite low as usual (by experience), but this was in my ballpark in a way I hadn't expected.

The period piece setting was on spot (judging by that new Cadillac Shannon buys it should be in 1962, although I noticed a coupla other cars that might suggest a year or two later. Nevermind.). Nice reminders of the cold war/"space race", 60s racism etc here as well.

Great casting; Michael Shannon goes full Shannon, and Doug Jones is of course the master of stuff like this. But Sally Hawkins is simply fantastic with her mute acting. I also highly enjoyed Octavia Spencer and Richard Jenkins.

For me personally, this is Del Toros best flick since Pan's Labyrinth.
 
Swing Time - I gotta say, some of the dance numbers in this film are incredible, even by today's standards. Good film too. 7.5 / 10
