Next Goal Wins. "Documentary" based on the true story of Thomas Rongen coaching the American Samoa Football team. Written and directed by Taika Waititi with Michael Fassbender as Rongen.
One of the funniest films I've seen - bloody brilliant. Fantastic comedy performance by Fassbender playing it absolutely straight.
5 Maradonna Hands-of-God out of 5 Fred Dagg place-kicks.

I just saw Oppenheimer. And wow, the editing. And Florence Pugh.
But Kenneth Branagh should be tarred and feathered for making a Danish born and bred physicist sound Prussian (or even further east).
He's as overrated an actor as ... sigh ... takes a pause... -
The Sweet East
Sean Price Williams is a gifted cinematographer, and the screenwriter is a guy I have chatted with occasionally for a decade on twitter.
This was supposed to be the irony poisoned movie for our times. It was okay, but mostly fell flat. I recognized and enjoyed the Tom Meyers/Cum Town reference.
Eh.

Going to save that for an inappropriate social scene.

Their reactions when he moves the fork are hilarious…..
….as the comments say, Mark Wahlberg spends the entire movie either angry or confused or both.
Class comedy all round

With the right casting agent - it works. Dumb buddy-cop comedy-action The Other Guys... perfect. Stoner comedy Ted - perfect. "Mark - you need to act stoned. Huh? Mark - just act confused. Ah, gotcha." Transformers - genius. "What's my motivation? Um - alien robots which can transform into cars and shit - trying to destroy Earth. Hmmm... so...? Angry and confused, Mark - angry and confused. Gotcha."

……and that’s why he’s had the career he’s had.
Remember we live in a world where people go and watch Adam Sandler movies so nothing should surprise anyone really.

Dune Part Two
Fucking amazing. Even better than part 1.
No notes.
6 Water Of Life out of 5 Florence Pughs
I could have done with less spoilers in your review but this looks pretty encouraging.
Going tonight after a BBQ, will enjoy a beer on the deck of the movie theatre before settling in for some sci fi awesomeness.
Expecting massive things and I suspect I’ll get them.

Great feedback on Dune. Will go and see it with the girl on Sundee night I think.
Movie series NEVER stop at two so a trilogy was always a given.
Dune Parts 1 and 2 complete the first book.
Theres still several more books in the saga to go. Though i doubt they will all make it to the big screen
They get very weird..Starts to get more detailed in terms of politics, tho they've largely done a good job of glossing over the relationship between the Space Guild, Landsraad, and Emperor in the name of making good cinema.
I think the introduction of the sister requires further exploration -

Great in 3 Kings as well

@Kirwan @NTA did you guys see it on imax?
apart from just the bigger screen which it was filmed for theres the sound...i dont think ive ever heard such a loud pair of movies before. My chair vibrated at times. It was fucken amazing.Hopefully Part 2 will do well enough for Part 3 to be given the go ahead. Though i suspect it will be some time off before its made.

Agree with all the positives re Dune 2. Possibly the best SF movie ever. In amny ways it reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia - big, epic, grand set pieces. For three hours the plot fairly races along. It's really a very light touch. Shit just happens without much detail and background, but it works.
The set pieces are fucking amazing. Surely has to clean up every technical Award going
