The bad sleep well. 1960. Japan.
8/10
A bloke devises a way to extract revenge for the 'suicide' of his father. Slow burn crime mystery by Akira Kurosawa. Engaging, it slowly shows all the characters, just who they are and what their motives are. South Korean films have taken this style and thrown in alot more characters and sometimes jarring twists. This builds the tension with the viewer able to see all the mechanics of the plot with a sutble twist all of its own at the end.
Oldboy. 2003. South Korea.

A bloke is locked in a room for 15 years and when hes set free, he goes on a mission to find out why.
Classic revenge tale with a involved plot that leaves you guessing till the end. Fimed with long takes it follows the main character Oh Dae Su as he and a woman try to track down what happened to him. Never boring, it balances humour and violence in a interesting way that doesn't overpower you. The second in the 'Vengence trilogy' and by far the best.

The MEG 2. 2023.
.
Fast forwarded thru this in less than 10 mins.
Watched the first one, while finishing a picture and was kinda amused by the camp factor, but largely unimpressed.
This was a gigantic leap into absurdity. It was interesting to see the level of CGI that went into it, but it came across as bizarre.
Statham was fine in the lead role, he did his usual thing.
But the final scene...
(SPOILER)
when he holds up a helicopter blade and impales a 'huge shark' thru the mouth its a clear sign that action movies, even the bad ones from the '80s, are still better than this.

The Death Of Mr. Lazarescu. 2005 Romania.
7/10
A old man has to get his neighbours to help him call a ambulance. From there he is moved on from hospital to hospital.
Slow burn black comedy about the hassles one has to endure when turning up a hospital.
It follows the lead character and the ambulance nurse for all the film as he slowly gets weaker. With no real plot it creates a simmering level on engagement as the staff at the hospitals, seem to have a 'just another day' type of attitude and don't really care. Little signs of caring shine thru, but it is a clear view of present day society when a major incident jams up the health system and can cause the death of a man who just needed help.

To be or not to be. 1942.
8/10
A theater troupe in Warsaw Poland work with the underground to disrupt nazi plans.
Entertaining comedy that was made in america but set in Poland during WW2. Kinda lightweight compared to today, but still has alot of jokes and scenes that wouldn't be 'acceptable'. Solid performances from the cast with a run time of just over 90mins.

Le doulos. 1962 France.
8/10
Crime drama that is multi layered and involves alot of 'back stabbing'. Follows two characters, one at the start, then another later who it seems, has sold him out. It shows the brutal, have it all one minute, lose it all the next nature of crime. The film works because it follows the first bloke until he is caught and imprisoned. Then follows the other bloke. There is no flash backs except for a scene in the later part where they both meet and it becomes apparent what happened. This allows the third act with both of them involved to heighten the tension to quite a good ending.

Tsar. 2009 Russia.
9/10
Phillip and Ivan.
Tsar Ivan (the terrible) has his childhood friend Phillip come to Moscow and become the new head of the church. Ivan by this stage is old and pretty set in his angry ways. But very devoted in his belief of GOD. When Phil refuses to bless him on account of his murderous ways, he is charged and found guilty, imprisoned and killed.
Historical drama that shows a brutal and violent time. The tsar is set in his ways, with one particular advisor encouraging this and the monk Phillip trying to steer him the other way. The sets and costumes are amazing, with the film showing the fear of the population and some the violence that was inflicted on them. The third act ends with Ivan sitting alone waiting for the locals to show up for a fair, that is basicly a death by torture day. While Phillips body is protected by fellow monks in a building that is set on fire.
It has a large cast and shows at some points the hangers on that are keen to be in good with tsar just to protect themselves.

Leaving Afghanistan. 2019. Russia.
8/10
Rescue mission for a downed pilot of a army general.
Based on true events, which is always slightly suspect, whatever the film. It tells the story of the Soviet army in the final days of their afghan war, and there attempt to withdraw thru a pass controlled by a educated tribal leader, while negotiating for the release of what becomes two prisoners.
The film right from the start sets up a demoralized angry army in a foreign land. It has that 'shaky' style of filming thats slightly distracting at the start, but works when there is chaotic action. By no means is it a simple 'rescue' film. It has a large cast with alot of characters given enough time to show the complex and changing ways of human nature.

Les fugitifs. 1986. France.
7/10.
A ex bank robber trying to go straight gets taken hostage by a desperate dad.
Starring Gerard Depardieu as the ex con it kicks off nicely and has a slap stick humour with an added plot line involving the dads little girl. As it progresses it develops the characters to give the film a sense of intrigue. Typical style of '80s humour, kinda forgettable but entertaining with alot of laugh out loud moments balanced with the inevitable lull that enables the film to bounce back.
The director ended up in hollywood and went on to remake his own film for a 'english speaking' audience three years later, 3 fugitives (Nick Nolte, Martin Short) as well another of his films The birdcage. 1996

For rent. 2021. Egypt.
5/10
Comedy drama about a dealing with loss.
A older bloke rents out a room in his house to a young bloke who is filling in at a office for a month. The film starts with a equal balance of humour and sadness. The old man is clearly misses his wife and is happy to have someone around. As it progress there are visions and dreams that have to do with the worker the young bloke has replaced. The second half reveals that he killed himself and the old man is also dealing with the loss of his son as well.
While the plot moves along, it loses the humour and becomes a bit of a slog. With a run of 90 mins, it lost me at the hour mark. Still interesting but i found i just wasn't as invested.
No trailer.
