A Bronx Tale (1993)

A semi-mob film set in the 1960s. All the usual mob/Mafia cliches in here, but done very well IMO. De Niro solid as always as the dad trying to keep his son on the straight and narrow. Would recommend - an 8/10

    A History of Violence (2005)

    I thought this would be better than it was. I couldn’t quite get invested in the characters and thought the story changed a bit too quickly part way through. Surprised that William Hurt was nominated for the Oscar for this as he was in it for about 10 minutes?

    Anyway…..not the worst film I’ve seen but only a 6/10

    gcw Pretty sure it was directed by De Niro. Great performance from Chazz Palminteri.

      gcw Love that movie, I’ll have to watch it again as it’s been ages. Doesn’t work anymore with key fobs, but my wife passed the door test back in the day. 😂

        Call Me By Your Name: Admittedly, this was not coaxed in by the missus. I hit play on my own volition. A hetero friend said it was one of ‘the most complete’ movies he’s seen a couple years back, and it always had me thinking. It’s worth a watch for sure, there’s a lot of rich dialogue and given the setting there’s overall an extremely chill tone to the film. Each and every shot genuinely felt like a piece of art. Obviously heavy heavy dazzlerXsmalls vibes running through with some pretty in-your-face scenes, one involving a peach even, but all tastefully done. Good soundtrack too. Give it a watch if you’re not feeling like a prude. 8.1 / 10

          You really are an absolute bell-whiff Rhouses.

          If you like horror No One Will Save You (on Disney+ today) is getting a lot of hype, and great reviews.

            Wasily not yet. Will have to gather my courage. I’m a scaridy cat. But I deffo will.

            And I did not want to start a random movie-tread.

                What’s your rating for the film you’ve not watched yet and may never watch because you are a beta (out of ten), Hanners?

                  Millsy just spreading the good word Millsy. I guess we need a thread for that too.

                      Homegrove

                      I just watched the trailer for this. They should have called it “girl in a house endures eighty fraught minutes of peril, with aliens”.

                      paging @Along_the_Wire right up your straßße mate.

                          Dumb Money, 3 stars. Decent protrayal of the gamestop squeeze but would bore the tits of people who weren’t involved.

                          C_J girl in a house endures eighty fraught minutes of peril, with aliens”.

                          Sounds like a decent porno

                            I watched No One Will Save You. I thought it was very good. Almost without any dialogue. Very well done. You want to make your TV room dark, and the sound UP for this.
