Rate the last movie you watched out of 10

The Goonies (1985)

Watched it with the kids. They bloody loved it.

The Fratellis are low key the best baddies in kids movies ever. Menacing but slapstick and comedic at the same time.

They drop plenty of S bomb so my eldest fella thought he was watching some kind of body horror at the start

Movie Magic.

8/10
 
Night Call 6/10

Mady, a locksmith by trade, gets dupped by a pretty girl into picking the hole of an unsavoury character. The theft of a sack of cash leads Mady, the main suspect, on a night long cat and mouse chase in an effort to clear his name and not end up in a pair of concrete boots.

A tense tight thriller that unfolds on the streets of Belgium during a BLM protest. Clocking in under the 1:40 mark, this was pretty class.
 
I rewatched Born on the 4th of July again last night and it is still a very powerful and evocative movie. Stone’s cinematographer is a little spare for me but the acting and the plot are excellent. I think it is one of Cruze’s best roles.
 
The Last of the Mohicans (1992)

It's not a bad auld flick. Michael Mann directs and it looks brilliant. Seriously beautiful cinematography.

They do a good job positioning the context in the French and Indian war in 1757. very few yanks let alone anyone else would know much about it.

The script is a bit shit though. Loads of "let's move this along by making a stupid illogical decision" particularly in the climactic last 30 mins.

They didn't bother having the actual mohicans say anything till the last 5 mins so the emotional heft was about zero.

Still and all it's a shame.Daniel Day Lewis didn't do a few more action Movies. He was physically very able and realistic.

The Baddie Wes Studi looked mental and Madeline Stowe was surprisingly badass as the love interest, way better than the average damsel in distress.

Well worth a watch 6/10
