All rights reserved.5Extraction (2020) - 6/10I adored action films like this when I was a kid. Had I watched it back then I would have enjoyed it as much as I would have enjoyed a cartoon about a bunch of teenage-mutant ghost-hunting tomb-raiding transforming thunder power ninja GI cat turtle superheroes! I favour action films less nowadays, and, to be honest, cartoons too, but if you dig action, you'll enjoy this. It has some excellent one-shot scenes and loads of quality deaths; the up close and personal handgun deaths to the face are a particular highlight - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1331Wed, 13 May 2020 13:38:10 GMTEl Camino (2019) - 5/10Some people will have you believe that Breaking Bad is the greatest TV show ever. People who think that will probably enjoy this as the one final fix of their favourite drug that it was absolutely meant to be. For me it was unneccesary and adds nothing to the franchise. I would have enjoyed it much more if the timeline had been longer and you'd seen how Jessie's life develops decades into the future. Sadly, it doesn't do that and it will leave most people who watch it wanting more. Which, for a TV show about drug use, is a entirely suitable way to end, I suppose. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1330Wed, 6 May 2020 13:27:42 GMTDiego Maradona (2019) - 6/10This is worth watching just for the footage of the celebrations in Naples after they win the league title. The same passion that caused such celebrations also caused Maradona to be hounded out of Italy. It's a sad story in many ways. Maradona was a flawed human being who'd had a tough upbringing who couldn't take everything that fame brought his way, ultimately finding himself chasing the legend that his character had become. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1329Fri, 1 May 2020 16:41:54 GMTRichard Jewell (2019) - 6/10This is based on a true story about a guy who was accused of, and almost prosecuted for, planting a bomb in a park in Atlanta. The thing is, he's the same guy who discovered the bomb and led people away from it, saving lives in the process. It's a shame it never got to court really because I was looking forward to the prosecution's case of Whoever-Smelt-It-Dealt-It. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1328Wed, 29 Apr 2020 13:58:39 GMTKnives Out (2019) - 6/10This a murder mystery that is also rather amusing at points. The cast is exceptional although Daniel Craig's Texan drawl is fucking dreadful. Like anything she's in, it's worth watching just for Ana de Armas. What a babe. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1327Fri, 24 Apr 2020 13:28:53 GMTParasite (2019) - 7/10What a wild ride. This is not at all what I expected. Them Koreans sure are some crazy ass motherfuckers. I expected some mad zombie film whereby some mad parasite gets all up in people's brains but alas I was mistaken. That, however, is why you should absolutely avoid trailers and other possible spoilers at all costs. The second I decide I want to see a film, I do everything I can not to see or hear anything about it because films are so easily spoiled nowadays. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1326Tue, 21 Apr 2020 21:12:44 GMTGascoigne (2015) - 7/10Gazza was a great player and an even better nutcase. Still is, in fact. Sadly his talent wasn't fully realised due to all the injuries and off field antics he got up to but when Mourinho calls you The Special One and Wayne Rooney says you're the best ever England player, it clearly means something. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1325Thu, 16 Apr 2020 20:42:32 GMTThe Platform (2019) - 7/10I grew up in a family of five so I'm very experienced when it comes to pigging yourself on communual food. It's a skill you acquire out of what you believe is a sense fairness, but really fairness never results. I still carry the scars today; I throw food into my face at an alarming rate even now, before quicking swallowing it after minimal chewing. Even with food that is entirely mine and won't be shared. Even when I'm alone. I'd have faired quite well in this prison I think, assuming, of course, I didn't get consecutively shafted on the levels. The idea behind this film sounds very odd but it's pulled off very well. If you're into violent, horrifying dystopias, you'll dig this, and at just 90 minutes it's a great length; much better than watching two episodes of Whatever Shite Series You're Currently Watching on Netflix. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1324Tue, 14 Apr 2020 19:42:37 GMTCaptain Fantastic (2016) - 5/10This is about what would have happened had the Unabomber not been totally bonkers mad and managed to have shit loads of kids. The answer would have been fucked up kids, obviously, which is pretty much what this is about. I get the idea behind it and would salute anyone doing this with their kids in real life but the whole thing was a little unrealistic, with it getting worse towards the end; a common problem with many films. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1323Fri, 27 Mar 2020 20:10:39 GMTWhat The Health (2017) - 7/10Well this is bleak as fuck. Basically everything delicious will cause you disease. Whether it's meat, sugar, dairy or whatever, you're asking - actually no, begging - for heart disease, cancer, diabetes and even dementia. You are putting your body under extreme stress by eating all this shite, both immediately (in your guts) and long term (pretty much everywhere). It's amazing any of us make it out of childhood, to be honest. But we're here for a good time and not a long time, so fuck it; tuck in. - By Mikehttps://www.whatafilm.net/Film.aspx?1322Tue, 10 Mar 2020 15:23:56 GMT
