Just wish that Scorsese had used a stunt double for the shopkeeper scene, as watching a septuagenarian De Niro trying to give a Goodfellas style beat down looked more like a SNL comedy sketch :D

That scene was bloody awful. The platform shoes. The doddering little footsteps to rebalance himself between each ‘kick’. The little hands just poking out of the too long sleeves - as if his carer dressed him having picked up someone else’s jacket in the old people’s home....
 
My daughter is involved with a company that did a lot of that anti-aging CGI work in T' Irishman. A post-production specialty outfit in Montreal called Rodeo.
 
Lady Norf et moi-meme thoroughly enjoyed Guy Ritchie's new flick, The Gentlemen.

Never set out to be a bunch of belly laughs, just a continuous series of hearty chuckles that build nicely to a satisfying ending in the vein of Lock, Stock... and Snatch. Plot twists out the ying-yang.

Watching the credits at the end - which, as a globally-viewed visual artist, I always stay for out of respect - and see listed as 'Co-Producer' the star of the film, Matthew McConaughey. he did well in this to avoid self-parodying himself, which he's done in past flicks. Hugh Grant could easily qualify as co-star.

Never much cared for Grant or Colin Farrell in past movies. Both did well in humorous, charismatic roles.

Shame we had to see some scenes filmed at the Emptycrate stadium. No surprise since Ritchie's relationship with the Popguns goes back to that cool Nike short he did in '08 called Take It To The Next Level. Mind you, there's some key dialogue in those scenes and if you're hoping to overhear a conversation in a major UK football stadium, that's clearly the place.

Looks like there space left for a sequel. Here's hoping.
 
1917 is fantastic, get it watched

Saw this tonight, superb.

1917 is brilliant
The cinematography is phenomenal (makes sense if you watch it)

It is superbly shot and framed. The futility of war is so prevalent.

At last got to see this tonight.

Fantastic. Simply captures the daily horror of ww1 and the sad reality of men who stared death in the face everyday.
