Orange Thursday: Κυνόδοντας (Dogtooth) (2009), Atomic Blonde (2017) and 47 Ronin (2013)

18 July 2019 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Last week, Orange Thursday didn’t happen, mainly because I was working. However, I had put the work in to find two movies to watch. I was only partially successful, however.

I had originally attempted to watch Atomic Blonde (2017), but I switched that off after half an hour on the general grounds it was unbearably bad.

So then I tried to watch 47 Ronin (2013), as Keanu Reeves has been having something of a revival of late and I fancied seeing what else he’d done relatively recently.

Turned out, that was even worse.

Still, that was two half-movies, which qualifies under Orange Thursday rules as one movie.

But then I remembered that JustStark had recently watched Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Favourite, which put me in mind to finally finish watching his first movie, Κυνόδοντας (Dogtooth) (2009). So I did.

And I’ll tell you all about all of them after the jump.
