De Oost (2020)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8639136/

A movie about the controversial history of the Dutch East Indies Army and Depot Special Forces against Indonesian guerrillas in the Indonesian War of Independence right after the WWII. Tells the story through the eyes of a young Dutch soldier who joins the special troops led by Captain Raymond Westerling and then gets extremely disillusioned after wittnesing the brutality and war crimes committed in South Sulawesi under his command. 

A refreshingly different movie, with a setting and the story that hasn't been told on the screen many times before.

7.5/10

No Time To Die (2021) 5/10

A potentially great filmed ruined by several things for me. Craig, Seydoux, and Malik are great and I’d recommend this to a Bond fan or a casual filmgoer but if you’ve played any Metal Gear Solid games give this a pass, just replay the games instead.

It is too damn long.

They wrote female 007 an unlikeable possible and the actress tried so hard, but ultimately was done dirty by the direction and script.

The plot is nearly a verbatim tip off of a fucking 1998 videogame, Metal Gear Solid. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, this ultimately ruined it for me. FOXDIE and nanomachines, son!

I'm not a Bond fan if I'm honest but reading that review just highlights a problem with a lot of new big budget movies.

They are just far too long, it puts me off watching movies at the cinema when I know its nearly 3 hours long.

There’s Someone In Your House (Netflix) : 4/10

If “13 Reasons Why” met “Scream”. Predictable script, boring forgettable characters and all of the Netflix cliches you could dream of. Of course it isn’t truly a Netflix film/show without the token gay/trans kid that serves zero purpose. 

Hard, hard pass. What’s funny is that my wife and I got the killer right within the first 5 minutes.

Manchester by the Sea feels like a lovely novel. The scenes at the police station and when Casey Aflleck meets Michelle Williams are so powerful.

I saw it when it came out and thought it was ok, though for that type of movie I preferred the Savages with the late Phillip Seymour-Hoffman and Laura Linney.

Out of all those Indy Us films one I enjoyed the best was Little Miss Sunshine.

Werewolves within - 6/10 Not a lot of surprises here but kind of a funny comedy/horror type thing with a bunch of people in a small town getting held up within one home and one of them is a werewolf. Easy watch with some funny deaths and lines. 

Have you ever seen 'Dog Soldiers'?

Very similar except these are soldiers on a training exercise and they get trapped in a farmhouse... considering it's a low budget British film without tons of CGI it's pretty decent.. It's 2002 so fairly old now but worth a watch if you can find it...

The film as a whole seems to reliant on car chases, violence, and other fancy tech. Not for me. 

That's just about every bond film they ever made... xD If I remember rightly Casino Royale was a bit of a turning point being less reliant on fancy gadgets and bringing the films a bit more back down to earth being a bit more serious compared to the Roger Moore style type bond..

Having said that Moore's opener for 'The Spy Who Loved Me' still ranks as one of the best opening sequences in any bond film for me.. 

"James I need you... So does England.. " B|

My issue was action and other fancy effects took precedent over any decent dialogue. No pun intended, if Bond spends the entire film killing more or less everyone in sight (like in Casino Royale) it becomes overkill in the end. I know many like all-out action, but to me, too much of it seems completely pointless.

On the subject of Westerns not a huge fan though have liked some.

One of the better ones was Shane, with that great opening sound track and the gunfighter trying to change yet getting dragged back to the gun slinging.

Saw a Western for the first time called Hombre, with Paul Newman as the lead.

Newman plays a Westerner brought up by Indians that inherits a house and on going to clear up the paperwork by getting a stagecoach gets caught up in a heist. He decides to take action and then it is cat and mouse until the end. By Eastwood standards not many deaths yet an interesting story.
