Homegrove Midnight Run (1988). Not as good as I remembered
Yeah same, Hannu. It’s a good movie but feels very dated. Much of the humor just doesn’t hit anymore. The Color of Money feels more present and it came out two years earlier.
Give Vision Quest a go. The Rewatchables episode is great. Russillo is hilarious. The movie is also super weird but very amusing.
jonattonyeah Vision Quest
I’ve never liked the look of it. You sure?!
It has a boss soundtrack and some of the most bizarre dialogue in any movie ever. I don’t think I’d call it good but it is something. Pay for a rental? No. But if you’re hungover on a Sunday morning and it’s available on some streaming service, give it a go. There are parts that are legit good and others that are unintentionally hilarious.
You could just watch a decent movie instead Grant.
Just a suggestion!
Smallman1 Being curious is a good thing
Vision Quest too high T for our man Ed.
Along_the_Wire preaching to the choir there I would imagine
A lol for Millsy!
Just finished The Gentlemen.
Great cast and it was good to see Hugh Grant using a different voice and haircut for a change. An absolute pile of shite though. Guy Ritchie with his smarmy cockney script is now beyond stale. Convaluted nonsense to be fair with not one memorable character. That robbery with the dancing rapping ninjas? Do me a favour.
Recommended. 9/10.
LOL I didn’t mind it! But my expectations were very, very, very low. Not good but ehhhhh a fine few hours while making some dinner.
IT part two.
Fucking awful.
Strange that Stephen King hated Kubrick’s brilliant adaptation of The Shining yet he cameos (albeit briefly) in this pile of poo. This has more comedy value than horror.
I liked the first half! Latter half goes to absolute shit. But visually it’s quite good throughout.
And in fairness to King, Kubrick made a movie that is vastly different than the book. I wouldn’t be too happy either irrespective of the end result.
Crimes of the Future
David Cronenberg returns to body horror. Surgery is the new sex, I like a lot of Cronenbergs stuff and this has a few button pushing moments but found this a bit dull to be honest. Lea Seydoux is even more annoying than Kristen Stewart.
Agree with Jonathan, It Part One is awesome, Part Two is a mess. Shame, great to see Bill Hader always. He was the only good thing in it. Well, and Twiggy from The Wire.
I really liked The Gentlemen. Even bought the Blu Ray for a fiver.
Part 1 did really well to tap into the Stranger Things hype (beside the casting), was creepy and fun. Part 2 lost me big time.
I always thought the giant spider was a bit lame though.
Days of Thunder (1990)
You know, this movie is fantastic. It’s stupid and insipid….don’t care. Tony Scott is an absolute blast as a director (RIP). Tom Cruise at peak movie star. Loud, bombastic, and forgettable. No clue why Nicole Kidman is in it, but Hans Zimmer’s score is peak ’80’s even if the movie came out in ’90. All in all, not a good film rating-wise, but enjoyable nonetheless.
6 he destroyed both my cars out of 10
jonattonyeah Zimmer’s finest hour was the ‘going for gold’ theme tune.
His finest two hours was when I went see him in concert.
Proper evening in the company of genius. For Zimmer.
