What can I say mate. It’s available on all the major streaming platforms.

    The American is an excellent movie. And i have been told countless times ,i`m the spitting image of Clooney fwiw.

    The Painted Bird.Mentioned this on the other board before the migrate.Grim + fucked up.Best film in this thread,7/10

      strummer

      Remember when the 1st reviews started coming out for it after the Venice film festival…looked grim viewing. Guess there’s no right time to watch it but not sure now is the best.

        The Legend of Tarzan - 8/10 - I would have given it more, but Alexander Skarsgärd was not nearly naked enough in this movie

        Karate Kid

        7.5/10

        Daniel sucks. Team Johnnie all the way. You can’t just show up to a new town, romp around like you own the place, go after another dude’s girl, and expect that to just all be fine. Fuck you, Daniel. Your best friend is an 800 year old Japanese guy. Loser. Good movie, ‘though.

        I saw something a while back looking at Karate Kid through a different lens….Daniel is the bully! Actually makes a lot of sense when you put it in that context. He does do a lot of instigation!

        You guys are totally missing the point here. Daniel comes from a broken home, has no positive male role models in his life and to be totally honest with you he was gonna end up going the same way as his Dad if you ask me….until Mr Miyagi steps in.

        Sure, there’s some issues around slave labour and unsupervised access to minors here, but bottom line is that he was taught the value of discipline, valour and dedication - values sorely lacking in the privileged white youth of today.

          Between Daniel-san’s weird relationship with Miyagi and Marty McFly being besties with that old perv Doc Brown, I’m not sure what parents were doing in the ’80’s.

          “He sure is spending a lot of time with a single man six-times his age. I’m sure it’s all fine. Not inappropriate at all.”

          Not once did anyone ask to see Miyagis DBS or safeguarding certificates

            Braven (2018, Netflix)

            Jason Momoa & Steven Lang come under attack from some badass drug dealers up a snowy mountain. This was just about alright.

            6/10

              21 Bridges (2019, Amazon Prime)

              Chadwick Bozeman and Sienna Miller hunt some cop-killing ne’er do-wells.

              I struggle with Sienna Miller at the best of times but with that accent? Ugh.

              The first half of this was alright actually but then it goes downhill fast.

              4/10

                Angel Heart (1987)

                Whew lordy has that not aged well. Lisa Bonet looks beautiful ’cause she always looks beautiful. But in this she looks beautiful…FOR LIKE A 15 YEAR OLD. Her going at it with a 48 year old-looking Mickey Rourke is a tough watch. A really tough watch. The movie is also impossibly stupid and Robert Deniro’s fingernails are dumb.

                2/10

                Extraction (2020, Netflix)

                Chris Hemsworth plays white saviour and shoots loads of brown guys, but it’s cool because he’s doing it to protect a brown kid, right?

                I actually don’t mind a bit of ol’ Hemsy and I didn’t mind a bit of this either. Some pretty tight mindless nonsense. Good use of setting. Felt like a game of COD.

                7/10

                Sideways….enjoyable low key comedy about two male friends on a wine tour of California before one of them gets married. Nothing mind blowing but worth watching. 7.5/10

                  Watched Pacific Rim again the other night. 8.5/10. I love action films, and this one has monsters AND robots! It makes my geek heart happy.

                  The Wraith. Terrible mid 80s action click with Charlie Sheen……and Sherilyn Fenn, so not all bad. Hilariously bad hair metal soundtrack.
