Blackfish on Netflix.
Once again big business showing how morally bankrupt it can be.
Upsetting to watch but still well worth doing so.
Will not be visiting Seaworld any time soon.
Taking animals from the wild for our own puerile entertainment has always sickened me.
I normally like Winding Refn films but I thought this was rubbish.
It was too stylish for its own good and just served as a showcase for Tom Hardy.
It was a film about someone I couldn't care less about. If he wants to stay in prison forever that's his lookout. Some people do find prison life easier than being on the outside.
Brilliant in it's stupidity. Flying daggers, explosions, dogs&horses and sword fights... Festival of violence.
Disappointingly I have much preferred first half and the final "showdown" was lacking the crazy weapons use from the first half.
Poor movie but good entertainment.
6.225/10
Margot Robbie's role had so much potential if only she had been given some dialogue as I'm not buying her silence says it all. Her silence says nothing.
The over the top violence in the end was mildly amusing but the end scene was just naff. Pitt and DiCaprio were overindulged by Quent was my feeling and the Tait aspect just seemed to be tacked on.
However The Good Boys was awesome
Never Look Away was a 9/10 as well

That was the plot of the entire movie! I'd guessed beforehand that this was one of Tarantino's revised history stories, so the ending didn't come as a surprise but I was surprised that after the first meeting at ranch it cut to the finale - I'd thought that the plot would be more enmeshed with Manson family lore.
That said, I liked the film very much. The look (colour saturation, neon colours, freak fashion vs Hollywood sharp) was all very well observed and Leo and Brad are both very fine movie actors who have improved with age.
As for Robbie having little dialogue, that may be because the character she was playing had little to say in real life; she was a bit of an airhead if reports are true and besides, her part was actually quite tangential to the plot, other than being beauty in danger. Damien Lewis as Steve McQueen was a brilliant little cameo.
Notable error: Practically the first shot of the movie had a flaw - the Boeing 747 didn't reach Pan Am until 1970.
American Made on Netflix. Good watch, about a pilot who delivers whatever for whoever, gets involved with various government agencies fighting communism in South America, but making the most of the return journey by dropping off merchandise for the medellin cartel.
Tom Cruise plays the pilot. 7/10

Tarantino's 9th film set in 1969 Hollywood with an all star cast. Might surprise some people, it's not his normal fair but I loved it.
The young Che Guevara takes a road trip around South America and learns a lot about life which will shape him in the future... quirky and offbeat, well-shot and acted but not amazingly inspiring or revealing. (Whether you think he was a hero or not.)
7/10
