Okay for old films that you own, but why continue to buy them when you can stream?

Homegrove

I don’t buy that many anymore, and usually stuff you can’t stream. Cattaga recently for example. Maybe 5 a year these days. And stuff where the streaming version is lower quality, the Dark Knight and LOTR trilogies for example. HBO Max has both, but not the 4K with new sound.

you’re buying physical 4k movies but you don’t have a 4k telly.

it’s like buying petrol for a pushbike while everyone else has gone electric.

sort yer life out!!!!!!!!

Lol!

whatever

Does anyone know of a decent external 4K media player that allows you to play 2160p video files on a 4K TV or capable of upscaling 1080p files?

There are a few advertised as 4K media players but they seem to have pretty lukewarm reviews, and as far as I can see, there aren’t any clear frontrunners.

Edit: I’m aware of the Nvidia Shield but think it is mainly for streaming rather than playing files?

Thor : Love and Thunder : enjoyed it but it’s not without its issues. 7 middle aged Gods / 10

Wally Kermode thought it was a pile of wank…. Sunday Times said it was the best Marvel film ever… some mixed reviews out there!

Lightyear - Weird one this from Pixar. It all feels a bit rushed in the most part, but more than that, our main protagonist is just a bit of a non entity. I appreciate that the original Woody and Buzz and a hard act to follow, but characters are where Pixar normally excel themselves. Bit of a missed opportunity this one.

2.5 pieces of confetti out of 5.

Mooncrash - Bang average B movie that is ever so slightly better than most bang average B movies. Essentially a remake of Armageddon. S to the werve.

1 stolen plot device out of 5.

Old School. Aged terribly, wasn’t even funny anymore, apart from Will Ferrel.

Edge of Tomorrow. Tom Cruise is a complete psycho, but if he’s in a movie it’s usually at least entertaining. I love this and Oblivion (that movie gets a lot of help from the M83-soundtrack though), the two are IMO the best alien invasion movies of the past 10 years. Emily Blunt in the movie doesn’t hurt either.

Homegrove and Oblivion

I have watched both of those films a fair few times. More than I expected. Oblivion gets a watch partly for the ending SPOILER ALERT which is le grand fromage when he says Fuck you Sally! Serious cringe/wtf/so bad it’s good moment

Wally

Homegrove EOT is great. Oblivion is good but seems to chuck every single sci fi trope into one movie. The last 15 mins or so with the mothership in space (been a while since I watched it but that’s what I recall) - really could have done without that.

Maverick - first trip to the cinema for ages. Some fucking little shit kick my seat and rustling for the whole film really did his utter best to ruin the experience. I had the fear for the first 45 minutes - it was fucking excruciating to watch, but then it just got good and fun and I found myself genuinely just enjoying the film. Stupid as it was. 7.5/10. My missus cried three times.

Homegrove

The Green Knight. It was like some art student was given millions to make a medieval movie. Dev Patel and scenery was amazing, the movie most certainly was not.

Wally

Homegrove Have a look on youtube for a video on how it’s a deconstruction of the hero’s journey - it’s really illuminating as to what the director was going for and made me appreciate it more. I’ll see if I can dig it out.

BlainSA

Homegrove Agreed. Think it may be better if you know the story/poem beforehand, but so many dead end/unexplained wtf stuff in there.
