Rate the last movie you watched out of 10

🤔
He did veer away from his usual style with "The Wind That Shakes The Barley", "Land And Freedom", "Looking For Eric" and "Carla's Song".
"Sweet Sixteen" is a superb film though. One of his best if not the best imho.
Are you joking?

Liam Cunningham plays a Dublin Train Driver trade unionist running around West Cork with a flying column.

Same with Land and Freedom, it'd all be okay if the commies and the anarchists work together.

I like Loach's movies but he's feirce one note.

I Daniel Blake is a great flick but possibly the most depressing example of all.

Sinners 7.5/10

Rocky double impacts this dusk till dawn remake about 2 gangster soldiers who return to their hometown to set up a juke joint.

Drenched in all aspects of black culture, Jordan exudes coolness in Ryan Couglers ode to their history, racism, slavery and music.

But at its heart its the music that is played front and centre with an absolutely cracking sound track. There is a rendition of the Rocky Road to Dublin that left goosebumps on my arm.

By the end though I couldn't help but wonder if this was a prequel to Blade.

Worth a trip to the cinema
This definitely deserves a second viewing, so many little nuggets to catch. The Irish aspect is just so cool with real history woven into it. That ending is just class as well.

8/10
