Observe & Report is a fabulous work of art from an artist who could only shrug his shoulders at the audience and turn away dejectedly when they scorned and rejected what he knew to be his best work and that's why Sausage Party.

I was 13 when I saw my first Bond in a cinema - The Spy Who Loved Me. I went back twice to see it again. I saw Star Wars the same year, but only once. I don't remember if I saw Empire Strikes Back at the cinema, but I was there for Moonraker, (several times).
"Aye - he means his cock!"
Pain & Gain is an overlooked classic. No, really!
One of the greatest marketing coups I have seen for some time was for Baby Driver. It proved you can fool all of the people some of the time. In an interview, Edgar Wright suggested that Ansel Elgort's performance was reminiscent of Tom Cruise's in Risky Business. Somehow, I think the prospect of 'Gort dominating the…
They saw his leg off to a track from the Cocteau Twins first album.
I follow Preacher and Mr Robot, and have watched a few cheap thrill films on amazon. Am currently wading through American Gods. It makes a subscription just about worth it.
An ex-military man with a dark past teams up with a savage psychopathic serial killer to track down a Bin Laden-esque villain who has smuggled a nuclear device into the US. A nihilistic action/horror. The Sum Of All Fears crossed with Silence Of The Lambs in the style of 80s Verhoeven. DM me, Bruce baby. You can…
In the eyes of the law, you are innocent until proven guilty.
I saw Their Finest a couple of weeks ago and have thought about it a lot since. I liked that all of the characters are treated with respect; there is no villain - the war itself fulfils that role, so the film has warmth. There is dramatic contrast between scenes depicting the thrill of artistic creation and those of…
His voice is unremarkable and lacks depth or character. Good luck to him, but his music is shit. He's a lot closer to Robbie Williams than Mick Jagger.
Marvel's Avengers 4, Tottenham Hotspur 1.
Don't know if it's a widespread phenomena but my children, 11 and 13, like Sandler in his Netflix incarnation; Blended, Click, Grown-Ups, etc. They are largely incurious as to his earlier, perhaps better (?), work.
I don't know if he's ahead of anything, but the first hour of Doug Stanhope's No Place Like Home puts him in a different, higher league to the gaggle of competitive comedians that play big sheds unsuitable for comedy gigs for a shit ton of money, (Kevin Hart/Dave Chappelle/Louis CK/Carrot Top).
I thought Chappelle's LA special was good, too. I was less enamoured with the one filmed in Austin. I don't know if it was because he was faced with an audience of Texans, most of them white, that his material seemed broader, less nuanced, and played too heavily on him being 'that funny black guy'. Dunno, maybe…
"15 years in a gruelling, damaging prison" - and he's still a whiner. You would think the whole chi-mastering/dragon vanquishing would have developed his character more. Sadly, Finn Jones does not have the charisma to transcend the mostly sub-par scripts. It's a shame because so many of the other characters were…
Chip being fired out of a cannon and disappearing through the roof of the tent reminded me of the invisible car gag in Atlanta; a moment of surrealism in the middle of an otherwise true-to-life show.
"I've been losing weight on my own" "I noticed." I loved the smile Christine gave Ken after that exchange.
In a time when the NYT are publishing articles written by the certifiably insane Louise Mensch (for no other reason than it supports their bullshit opinion that Trump is a puppet of Putin) then I'd say it was sensible to be wary of the veracity of anything else they print.
After last weeks disappointing episode, this Elementary was a shot in the arm. I'm hoping Kitty has secrets to divulge and excited about the re-appearance of the much-missed Morland. Presumably the rogue red-headed agent is gunning for either Sherlock's dad or trying to flush out Mycroft. Meanwhile, I think the…
