Absolutely Fabulous (Mandie Fletcher, 2016) 3/10
Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) go on the run from the police and hide out in the South of France after knocking superstar model Kate Moss off a balcony into the Thames. The hilarious British sitcom finally gets a big screen interpretation with the entire cast - Jane Horrocks, Julia Sawalha, June Whitfield - on board but it's all pretty forced with corny situations galore. The two leads are fun doing their "thing" but stretched out to feature length it gets boring very quickly.

A Bigger Splash (Luca Guadagnino, 2015) 7/10
Highly strung melodrama set in Italy is the second collaboration between the director and star Swinton. A remake of Jacques Deray's "La Piscine" which starred the golden romantic couple of the 1960s - Alain Delon and Romy Schneider. An androgynous (Bowie comes to mind) rock star (Tilda Swinton), having undergone a throat operation, is on a secluded vacation on an island off the coast of Sicily with her moody younger boyfriend (Matthias Schoenaerts). They are unexpectedly visited by her overly gregarious record producer and former lover (Ralph Fiennes) and his newly discovered teenage daughter (Dakota Johnson). Sparks fly as the nubile young girl attracts the attention of the singer's lover while the singer herself fends off the overly amorous advances of her former friend. Jealousy and sexual tension are the order of the day as matters come to a head and a dead body turns up in the swimming pool. The title of the film is inspired by David Hockney's famous 1967 painting with the director giving us shots of the pool and dead body reminiscent of the painter's work. Dressed in casual Dior, Swinton looks magnificent with her tall imposing body posed against the rugged countryside with her natural hauteur a sharp contrast to the feminine "Lolita-like" Johnson. Fiennes has an actor's field day strutting around shirtless in constant motion - he gets to play a hyperactive scene where he dances while lip-syncing to the Rolling Stones' song "Emotional Rescue". This is in sharp contrast to most of his famous past roles where he played repressed lovers or quietly evil killers. All four leads get to display their nude bodies with the camera lingering over them posing in bed or by the pool. The stylish images here evoke Italian films from the sundrenched 1950s but with characters striking poses out of an Antonioni drama. Although all four characters are individually interesting they fail to connect emotionally with each other as couples or as a group. Looking below the surface of the plot one senses an aroma of pretension which the director tries to cover up with stylish flourishes.

The Birth of a Nation (Nate Parker, 2016) 6/10
This film got rave reviews at the start of the year during the Sundance film festival which is now obvious that the reason was the Oscar "blacklash" that took place just then over the Academy not nominating any actors of colour (particularly "black" aka African-American). This seemed (in print at least) the film to beat come Oscar time 2017. Well we are here now and this film, although extremely well shot, is yet another film about the gross misjustice towards slaves (and black people in general) in the United States and handled in a mostly feeble manner - the screenplay churns out the usual beatings, whippings, rapes that we have seen in countless similarly themed stories in the past - with nothing new to say. The true story of slave-preacher Nat Turner (Nate Parker), owned by a "good" master (Armie Hammer) and who as a child was taught to read the Bible by his master's compassionate mother (Penelope Ann Miller), ends up leading a revolt after his wife is beaten and raped by scummy white men (Jackie Earle Hayley plays one) - something that never really happened but is used as a plot point as a catalyst. The revolt led to the death - decapitations, hacking with axes, shootings and stabbings - of over 50 white people, which then led to a savage retaliation by the white militia and mobs who indiscrimately hung or killed over 200 black men, women and children while putting down the rebellion. Turner gave himself up and was in turn hanged. The revolt was a turning point in history and it eventually led to the abolishment of slavery 35 years later although that didn't change things too much. The United States continues to remain one of the most racist countries on this planet. Parker is a visionary film maker and I look forward to his future films just as long as he doesn't keep playing the "angry black man" and using that for future subjects.

Southside With You (Richard Tanne, 2016) 6/10
Barack Obama goes on his first date with Michelle Robinson in 1989. He is a likeable Harvard student working during the summer at a Corporate Law firm and she is his spiky advisor seemingly with a giant chip on her shoulder. Talky script follows the two characters as they walk, discuss music, visit a museum, go to a community meeting where he addresses the gathering, watch Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and finally eat ice cream rounding up the day. Ineffectual little film not without charm.

Bridget Jones's Baby (Sharon Maguire, 2016) 4/10
Third time not so lucky. The wonderfully ditsy but endearing title character, played once again by Renée Zellweger, quickly becomes tiresome. Her dilemma - which of the two men she bonked - past-love Darcy (Colin Firth) or American billionaire (Patrick Dempsey) - is the father of her child. The film is replete with corny and dated pregnant-woman humor that very quickly wears out. And I won't even discuss the disaster Zellweger's face is after her pathetic attempt to look less droopy via surgery. The best bit comes on at the end where we catch a glimpse of a person who is obviously shown in order to gear him up for yet another sequel.

Assassin's Creed (Justin Kurzel, 2016) 1/10
This convoluted crud of a film is based on a video game about a 15th century order of Spanish assassins who are at loggerheads with the Knight Templars over possession of the sacred apple (that holds the genetic code to man's free will.....or some such nonsense) that Eve took a bite of in heaven. Just writing this bit makes me cringe. Eve's apple. Although one must give credit to the person who thought up the apple as the sacred object people would kill for. The usual suspects so far have always been the Arc of the Covenant or other holy relics. The plot jumps from 1492 Andalusia to Madrid, London and Texas with a brief stopover in 1986 California. An assassin (Michael Fassbender), who jumps through time, finds himself coerced into an experiment by an organization run by the cadaverous Jeremy Irons and his daughter (Marion Cotillard) into going back in time via virtual reality to seek that pesky apple. The relentless action is full of bone crunching violence as characters jump up and down the walls of spectacular castles in Seville. In the present Charlotte Rampling makes a grim appearance as some sort of holy leader bankrolling the experiment that allows the assassin to go back in time. The screenplay provides no depth to any of the characters. Instead it concentrates strictly on the visuals with spectacular stunts (via CGI) which quickly become repetitive. This film is nothing but a sleep-inducing bore and yet another attempt by Hollywood to con people into watching a lousy movie using a hit video game as a premise. Skip this film like the plague.

Nocturnal Animals (Tom Ford, 2016) 4/10
A case of more style over substance. This is basically three totally different stories forcibly crammed together with none of them interesting either separately or together as a whole. Nothing here gels. An avant garde art gallery owner (Amy Adams), dissatisfied with her career, life and husband (Armie Hammer), receives a manuscript of a novel from her ex-husband (Jake Gyllenhaal) which he has dedicated to her. The book is a repellent tale of a man (Gyllenhaal again) who is stopped on a highway by three rednecks who kidnap, rape and murder his wife and daughter. Coming to his rescue is a dying cop (Michael Shannon) who helps him confront the murderer (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Haunted by the tale she thinks back to her life with her first husband whom she chose despite opposition from her bourgeoise mother (a wickedly funny Laura Linney) and later unceremoniously dumped because she found him too weak. Pretentious nonsense with Adams posturing like a diva and Gyllenhaal acting boyish and hysterical in his two avatars. The two grotesque characters come off best - Shannon as the laconic cop coughing his way through the role and Taylor-Johnson as the rough and unrepentent killer. Using the plot of the book as a revenge motif comes off rather absurd. The wide screen cinematography by Seamus McGarvey splendidly captures the barren rural vistas and the souless architectural cityscapes evoking Antonioni.

Fort Apache (John Ford, 1948) 7/10
Amidst the noble Ford ladies (Anna Lee, Irene Rich, Mae Marsh), the teenage romance (John Agar and Shirley Temple) and Ford's usual stock actors playing buffoons, heroes and drunks (Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond, Guy Kibbee, Grant Withers, Pedro Armendáriz, George O'Brien) is the main plot which is a take on the Custer myth - the new Commander at the Fort, a stiff and strict disciplinarian (Henry Fonda) who makes an ill-judged decision to take on the Apache leader Cochise resulting in a suicidal battle. John Wayne is the sole voice of reason in this the first of Ford's Cavalry trilogy which glorifies Army life and chivalry. Archie Stout's magnificent cinematography shows off Ford's Monument Valley in all it's splendor.

Captain Fantastic (Matt Ross, 2016) 8/10
A control-freak Dad (Viggo Mortensen) lives an unconventional life in the wilderness and has raised and trained his six children to survive the elements. They hunt animals for food, go through extreme rituals of exercise to keep body and spirit alive and follow an advance form of education courtesy of Nabakov's "Lolita" and Dostoevsky's " The Brothers Karamazov" along with impromptu musical jams. When his wife commits suicide he is forced to "re-enter" civilization which the kids find confusing and overwhelming. Giving him strong opposition is his grief stricken father-in-law (Frank Langella) who is horrified at the way his grandchildren are being raised. Interesting (and very funny) social commentary on education, parenting, handling grief, societal norms and societal influences. The film is superbly acted by the entire cast with Viggo Mortensen heartbreaking as the proud father who's visionary life begins to crash as soon as his children are exposed to the "world".

I hate lowing ratings for films on a second viewing and don't do it. The Goodbye Girl is a case in point. When I first saw the film at the cinema I found it very engaging and likeable. It was the first Neil Simon film I had ever seen. However, my second viewing 39 year later was a major disappointment. The film has aged terribly and Neil Simons screenplay is a clunky as most of his work. Marsha Mason and Quinn Cummings were both terrible . The saving grace of the film is Richard Dreyfuss. His performance is still so fresh and alive, Elliott feels like a real human being not just a cog in the screenplay like Mason & Cummings. I'd give the film 4/10 now and that is really for Dreyfuss.

Re: Last Seen Movie - The Latest Movie You Have Seen; ratings
When it first came out, it got scathing and sometimes even offensive reviews (in America especially; Italian critics were more respectful but still not positive) - but I guess the theme was really taboo back then, and that played a role. I saw it years ago, and should see it again.Reza wrote:It most certainly is. I remember seeing it when it came out and I liked it. Then saw it a couple of years ago agian. It holds up.
