HIGH LIFE
An independent European SciFi film from Claire Denis. Stars Robert Pattinson, Juliet Binoche, Andre Benjamin, Mia Goth. Cert 18. An English language film. A young man is on board a ship with his baby daughter. They are heading into deep space. There are a few fantastic space movies that I recommend. See the Amazon widgets. It is slow paced. Chilled out soundtrack. I have included the trailers that appear on this DVD. The people are convicts. One final mission and they will be free. Acting alongside a child. One surprising scene early on which you have to see for yourself. You see some of his memories. I will look at IMDb trivia and discussions about this film. I'm not a fan of the Twilight saga. Check out Maps To The Stars. Juliet has a nice body. Mia was in A Cure For Wellness. Andre 3000 also stars. You should read the books of Stephen Baxter. Some moments are strange. Nice breasts on Mia. Strange insemination scene. Quite gross. More is revealed as the film progresses. There is loneliness, conflict in these space journeys. 
 Looking to see how Robert will do as Batman. In space no one can hear your baby scream.

The Curse Of La Llorona is a horror film from the makers of The Conjuring. Cert 15. I rented this from the library. Lovely bit of singing at the beginning. Beginning in Mexico. A woman is with her two songs. Jump to America in 1973. A woman is a social worker. She is widowed with two kids. She visits a client. There is a problem. Some things seem predictable and clichéd. Anyhow good effects and acting. An evil spirit is murdering children. There is a priest that family seeks help from. You may have seen Mama, The Woman In Black, Insidious, The Conjuring. Linda Cardellini played Velma in the Scooby Door films. She shares the same birthday as me. I knew that I recognised Patricia from somewhere. She was in The Mummy movies with Brandon Fraser. Annabelle gets a mention.

STAN & OLLIE
Steve Coogan and John C Reilly star in this biopic about Laurel and Hardy. Plenty of humour. Some scenes play like their skits. Most biographical films have an origin story. This takes place when they have already reached the top. Great casting. The Manager is a scene stealer. Coogan and Reilly got the mannerisms right. Chaplin and Wisdom get a mention. The two are on tour throughout the UK. A Robin Hood movie is being planned. Please see the ads for the recommendations.

 THE SISTERS BROTHERS
Joaquin Phoenix, John C Reilly, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed. Cert 15 Western. Eli and Charlie are assassins/bounty hunters. They go on various missions. Set in Oregon 1851. Follow them on their journey. You might also like The Homesman, Shanghai Noon. John Morris has been writing down what he has been up to. His accent is a mix of American and English. Kermit Warm is taking part in the gold rush. The brothers are coming to track him down. The Commodore is the boss. Interesting scenery. Some humour. Need to turn the volume up to listen to some of the dialogue. Riz and Jake starred together in Nightcrawler. Universal Pictures. Good acting, scenery and costume. Based on the novel by Patrick DeWitt. Trouble is always up ahead. Must look at the back story and trivia. Check out the new Joker movie.



IN FABRIC
A Curzon Artificial Eye production. British indie horror. A retail store in Thames Valley is the setting. A red dress that gets passed around from owner to owner, it us cursed. The look and sound of the film is unique. Quite retro. Cavern Of Anti-Matter provide the soundtrack. You have a middle aged black woman named Sheila. She lives with her son Vince. His girlfriend Gwen is abit of a bitch. Various other characters are featured. I remember watching the Tom Hiddleston film High Rise. You might recognise the actors. I will look at the IMDb Trivia page. Peter Strickland is the man behind this film. It follows on from previous films. The sales assistant is mysterious. There is humour. I copied the cast info from a site. A surreal film. The scene with the mannequin was weird. Great actors. The two managers Clive and Stash are funny. Reg is a man on a stag do. See the review by Mark Kermode. Cert 15.
