C_J Homegrove Wife and I enjoyed The Bikeriders. Not much plot to it, but she said Austin Butler and Tom Hardy wearing leather jackets and riding motorcycles was plenty enough plot for her. Jodie Comer has a ridiculous accent in the movie, that is apparently 100 % accurate for her character in that time in Illinois, but maybe less accurate would have been better. 40 mins of that accent was enough for me. Definitely too accurate.
C_J In A Violent Nature (2024) Atmospheric, dark, weird, disgusting and slow. I could see people hating this but I thought they got the look and feel bang on and it really worked. 7.5 / 10
Homegrove No Way Out (1987). Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman in a thriller that wasn’t very good, but has one hell of a third act. My heart was actually racing. Shame everything before it was pretty bad. Also, Will Patton’s voice was certainly a choice.

BlainSA Smallman1 Yeh, I’ve seen it and it’s typical rage bait. Doesn’t even include Kindergarten Cop.
Along_the_Wire Alcarràs - Spanish - gritty story about stubbornness in the face of reality. A peach farmer doesn’t have rights to his land and is being taken over by a solar panel farm. Enjoyable, but silly in parts. Doesn’t help that I hate peaches. 6.5/10
gcw BlainSA agreed, what a load of bollocks that list is! T2 is prob his best film but I do love The Running Man and watch that more often
BlainSA Predator Terminator Whilst T2 is a good film, it’s John Connor that messes it up for me. Prefer the rawness of the first one.
C_J Dubman Cat Person The Teachers’ Lounge Blood for Dust The Last Stop in Yuma County (not actually seen this yet)
Dubman Along_the_Wire Watched it last year. It’s brilliant. Has there been any decent thrillers in the last few years
Along_the_Wire Just seen the latest Beverley Hills thing - fuck, everyone is so old. It’s shit, obviously, but not as bad as I expected - had a few genuine laughs. Will never watch again. 4/10
BlainSA Along_the_Wire pretty much what I thought too. Not surprised it was a nostalgia-fest, though still got a rise in places. Still love the soundtrack
