Lockdown watching

One of the very few upsides to this lockdown is the opportunity to watch new films and catch up on older stuff I've missed. Up to 29 so far. Hopefully I dont hit 50. Or god forbid 100.

Blackboard Jungle. Great. Lived up to the classic tag. Glenn Ford is cool.


Capone. Godawful. Tom Hardy is dreadful.

The Painted Bird. Tries way too hard to shock. Way way too hard.

We Summon The Darkness. Good schlocky fun.

Cleo From 5 To 7. My first Varda film gave me a taste for more.


Beastie Boys Story. Not as good as it could have been but very worthwhile for fans.

The Stand At Paxton County. Literally can't remember a thing about it.

Odette. Interesting look at ww2 from a different POV.

The Assistant. Good. Very topical. Quietly scary.

A Good Woman Is Hard To Find. Really good. A gritty, darkly fun Irish thriller.


Extraction. Very violent return to 80s carnage. Which of course meant i liked it.

Sea Fever. Probably the best Irish horror film ive seen. Sorry Grabbers.

Porno. DREADFUL.

Calm With Horses. Magnificent stuff. Cosmo Jarvis deserves to be a star.


My Spy. Really surprised by how much i liked it. Dave Bautista has done no wrong so far.

Oz The Great And The Powerful. The very definition of meh.

Starry Night. A pleasant bit of fluff.

Military Wives. Not bad at all. Sharon Horgan was great.


The Bridge At Remagen. Immensely dull. Star studded cast does not help.

Faces Places. A lovely watch. Finished it with a list of more films to watch.

Once Upon A Time In The Midlands. Shane Meadows joy. Way more fun than his usual films.

The Fighting Kentuckian. Good craic. John Wayne and Oliver Hardy, odd but it works.

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! An odd watch. Don't know whether i liked it or hated it.


Blades Of Glory. Hilarious. Avoided it for years before of Will Ferrell but really good fun.

The Jesus Rolls. A bag of piss.

VFW. Assault On Precinct 13 meets Cocoon. Hilariously vicious.

The Devil. Fucking disgusting. Inventive but disgusting.


Project A 2. Jackie Chan. You can't go wrong sure.

Coffee & Kareem. FUCKING DREADFUL

Butt Boy. Bonkers. Far better than i thought it would be.
