Maudie (2016)
Memorable
Only three films have stood out for me in the last ten years. On Her Majesties Secret Service which I saw for the first time ever last year even though i'm 64. But I found the Bond confessing his love for Tracey one of the loveliest love scenes ever.
My second film is Loveship and Hateship;again a marvellously moving film and so different to the violent porn riddled trash that's pumped out now.
Now this film 'Maudie' has taken up residence in my heart until the day Idie.. Such a wonderful, gritty and yet full of love story. God I cried like a blubbering idiot at the end it was so sad and yet so soul lifting.
Fanatsitic performances all round and now in my best three
Bad Moms (2016)
Couldn't Watch More Than Ten Minutes
In a time when the left wing of Hollywood are gunning for Donald Trump for language he used about woman in a private conversation from many years ago I began to watch this movie in a state of shock at the pornographic standards that Hollywood and the media have sunken to.
This dive in to the gutter of life is only matched by the left media's hypocrisy. The film starts of and in the first couple of minutes when the boss of Mila Kunis is telling her about his dream he had where he was in a hotel naked with his balls on show. Now there was no need for this in the story line but this is what goes for entertainment now.
The film from there just sinks into a family film mixed with porn. Mila character catches her husband wanking in front of a computer with a girl showing her pubes totally nude on the screen. It then switches to the children's school where the three busy body mums start talking about how they'd let a dad whose wife had just died stick his penis in their butts. At that point I stopped watching. Is this what our society has come to? I guarantee that kids will watch that movie and probably with their parents How does this stuff get past the censor, its pure pornographic filth, if I lived in Hollywood and met the director I'd punch his lights out for creating this moral sewage and pouring into family TV rooms around the world. It's disgusting, its disturbing and nothing more than corrupt Hollywood lefty Clinton supporting luvvies grooming young kids to b prepared for the sordid life style Hollywood, the left media and music industry is creating.
These are the people screaming at Trumps private words. To be honest the game is up if this material is now for public /family consumption and the actors should be ashamed to even appear in such vile filth
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
I Missed Out First Time Round
I was 18 when this film was first released and I suppose due to Sean Connery not in the role as 007 I didn't bother watching it. So to see the film for the first time ever a couple of weeks back really struck a poignant sad feeling at all that time elapsing and the two main stars so much older now but thankfully still alive. The other fascinating things about this film is the perceived chemistry between Bond and Tracey in the film and the real animosity that seems to have developed whilst making the movie between Rigg and Lazenby.
Anyhow I'll say only this, if I had to chose a film for the most heartfelt love scenes , then OHMS's would be it. The tender scenes between Dianna and George coupled with John Barry and Hal Davids achingly exquisite' We have all The Time' brings a tear to my eye every time. From when he chases Tracey to her car and the beautiful Dianna Rigg turns around with tears streaming down her face which Bond (George) gently wipes away is just so beautiful as 'the theme song starts to play. Also although George is on the very rare occasion tad 'wooden' or more accurately self-conscious the scene in the barn as the blizzard rages outside where Tracey (Dianna ) seems to accept her lot that she cannot get any closer to James because of his occupation and says why are you still thinking about it and James (George) answers so gently that he is not he was '"thinking about us" and then says he loves her, for me is the tenderest love scene in any movie that I've ever seen.
Dianna and George's relationship is the thing that makes this probably the best Bond movie of them all and the pair of them acted it out brilliantly. Its a wonderful film that took 47 years for me to finally see but believe me it was well worth the wait.
Hateship Loveship (2013)
Spoiler Alert
What a wonderful warm on the edge of you pants it may all go wrong movie.
I couldn't believe how much I liked the film, the story line and the characters, which were if truth be known a little too good to be true; but I loved it and I don't care . I haven't been engrossed and emotionally rewarded by a story like that for a long. long time.
I've always loved Nick Nolte and had time for Guy Pearce, all the other actors were unknown to me , But all turned in great performances .
Once again, for me one of those films where you say where have you been all my life.
Wonderful, wonderful and wonderful.
Hall Pass (2011)
Mediocre vehicle for pushing porn
The film itself was passable entertainment from the Hollywood McDonalds style menu of mediocrity however the thing that absolute gob smacked me was the unnecessary and lets call a spade a spade, porn scenes although this film had 15 rating. The one particular scene that I never in my whole life would have thought I would see passed of as entertainment was the Jacuzzi scene. This is where two naked men black and white rush in to save Owen Wilson who'd fallen asleep in the tub. The gratuitous close up of the black fellers penis -which looked partially erect, made me feel saddened and sick that this stuff now gets past the censors without batting an eyelid.
I mean how can you watch this filth with your kids or parents . I have no doubt as witnessed by the Glenn Beck radio interview with Ben Shapiro
who is an author of a new book about the left liberal strangle hold on Hollywood and this film clearly shows that.
Let me elaborate: Ben Shapiro talks about the director of desperate housewives making same sex neighbours the norm. We have the same in England where the BBC is dominated by left, liberal self interest groups. I'm convinced that members of the production team or the director have an agenda to make pornography acceptable everywhere in our society. The Farrelly brothers should be absolutely ashamed of their contribution to the breakdown of the moral glue of our society. When lovingly shown shots of an half erect penis is passed of for 15 year old entertainment then you really feel we are entering the final age of Babylon.
