417. Under the Silver Lake. A pretty wild mind bender, head scratcher, what the fuck just happened good time! A great recommendation from the Movie Ninja, thank you. We meet Sam, he's kind of a slacker, and about to be evicted from his pad, but he is dating a very nice prostitute. One day hanging out on his patio, he spies a beauty, Sarah, chilling by the pool, and meets her later on while hanging around her dog. And after fun night of chilling, poof, she disappears. And Sam apparently really felt a connection with Sarah over those 2 or 3 hours because this dude goes on a hunt for this girl. Through a crazy couple of dreamlike days we follow Sam through some insane conspiracy theories that lead him through a hobo underground, complete with its own king (Fisher King?) secret sex drug parties, getting crazy to a Brimful of Asha (Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow) and of course the billionaire cults preparing for the afterlife. Think Alfred Hitchcock, Brian DePalma and Stanley Kubrick got together for a movie, and it turned out pretty sweet! Starring a former Spider-Man and a former Venom (didn't recognize him at first, Foreskin is all grown up) But yea, I really liked it, gets pretty crazy!! Check it out! Filmbufftim on FB!

Paddington 2 (2017)
2017 | Animation, Comedy, Family
Paddington has spotted the best birthday present for his Aunt Lucy, but it's a lot more money than the 50p Mrs Bird pulled out of his ear that morning. He knows what to do though, he must get a job (or several) and earn the money to buy the wonderful pop-up book of London from the antiques shop. His plans aren't going to well though, and when he spies a burglar breaking in to the upstairs window of the shop things take an even worse turn.



I still haven't seen Paddington 1 yet, I know, shame on me. But after one of my Unlimited buddies saying they'd seen it three times already it convinced me that I should go and see it too.

He's not the original Paddington that I know and love, but he's still kind of adorable, I guess.

There's a fantastic cast of people, and personally, Brendan Gleeson as Knuckles is my favourite. From terrifying chef to terrified of a bear's glare... genius. The only character that I wasn't keen on was Hugh Grant's Phoenix Buchanan.

The beginning felt a little drawn out, but once the action started I was carried away with the whole tale. A really enjoyable watch and definitely one that I'd sit down to see when I see it on the TV listings.
