Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 King Of Thieves ... true-story crime caper about the Hatton Garden robbery with quite the cast (Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtenay, Ray Winstone, Paul Whitehouse, Michael Gambon and Francesca Annis). Amusing, but not without its darker moments (Broadbent is genuinely menacing at times, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them are particularly good. This one is watchable at least. Once. Sweeping Strings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Last up on our black & white triple feature weekend was.... The Lighthouse Oooh boy, this gets a big meh from me. The cinematography is stunning - so many brilliantly framed shots, amazing use of lighting and transitions - the whole kit and kaboodle. That part is great. Everything else just did not work for me The plot is basically just: 2 guys show up at a remote lighthouse in the late 1800s to work it for 4 weeks, and go crazy. So much kooky stuff happens (mermaid and octopus hallucinations, one eyed seagulls, bloody cisterns, getting drunk off lantern oil and honey, lies and contradicting stories, and on and on) but it never all comes together and the end in any satisfying way. It's just a bunch of randomness. No thanks It's free on Amazon Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I wasn't that thrilled and it didn't make me think about psychology or the fragility of the human mind much at all. It was actually fine in the first half, as they were setting everything up and the random weirdness could still be explained in some way later, but then the second half they most just get drunk and stumble around until the ending. We were bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 That's not correct. It began as an attempt to adapt an Edgar Allan Poe story, but it ended up not being that (and just kept the title) bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,370 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Collateral - Michael Mann Was on my watchlist since it came out. But didn't watch it at the time because I avoided Tom Cruise movies where ever possible, but he is very ok here. And great performance by Jamie Foxx.

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Manchester by the sea. That was pretty good. I just wished there would have been more flashbacks with Patrick’s mother. All the actors were great and Michelle Williams was fantastic. That is the second time in a month I’ve watched a movie with a score cue that exclusively contains female choir and I like it. The use of classical music was deeply moving too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, good movie, good acting, but somehow it's not something I will watch again, I think. There are only two scenes that stuck in my mind. The very first scene with his kid on a boat. That acting was extremely natural. In fact, it probably was real. And much later in the movie when Affleck accidentally meets his ex again on the street. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
