Get Carter, still boss, five bottle of Newcie Brown out of five, Cain at his moody best. The idea that they tried to remake it with Stallone is mad. Also, forgot the scene where they go to the ‘Big Beat’ night, no Fat Boy in sight.

    Still love the ‘eyes like piss holes in the snow’ line in Get Carter. Great film.

    Prime Britt Ekland too
    “You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape. With me it’s a full time job. Now behave yourself” Great quote.

    You don’t see too many films either where the main protagonist doesn’t win in the end. Refreshingly dark stuff.

    The aforementioned Chinatown comes to mind in that regard.

    My favorite bleak ending is The Mist though.

    Oh and also got onto the sniper being in the train carriage with him on the way to Newcastle, almost too subtle.

    Never clocked that. Seen it loads of times but been a good ten years since I last watched it. That final scene on the beach is bleak with the slag being dumped into the sea iirc

    Yeah, it’s a pretty dark movie for the most part, same beach they used for the opening of Alien3, say no more.

    Dubman definitely not as good as the first one, but worth watching. i found it got better as it went along.

    -si- Trial of the Chicago 7 - Giving it a solid seven and a half Molotov cocktails out of ten. Probably the best Netflix film I have seen. Actually felt like a film, rather than a made for TV vibe.

    Snowpiercer? Is this so good it’s bad? Or is it just bad? The concept feels so flawed.

      Amps bloody terrible film… hard to believe it was made by the same guy who directed Parasite

      I must say i was annoyed immediately by the The Trial Of The Chicago 7. I literally couldn’t get past the first 10 mins and binned it off.

        Amps …Brown Ale fact: only referred to as ‘Newkie Brown’ outside the NE, known in the Toon as ‘THE DOG’.

          Unbroken1 Drank it when I was younger, revisited it a few years back, realised it was basically rain water from a puddle.

          Best thing about NBA is the Fast Show-skit where the cashier tells the customer it giver her father the shits.

          same here. Sacha Baron Cohen is such a shit actor. kept expecting him to do Borat at any minute.

          Watching ‘Hereditary’ again. Fuck me what a film. 🤯

            SM001

            Oof. I’d watch it, SM. Not popular in these parts. I personally thought it was fine.

              Calm With Horses now on Netflix. Phenomenal soundtrack as well from Blanck Mass.

                Henry Excellent, that’ll be lined up this weekend. Nice to see a bit of sense after all that Hereditary shite!

                Calm with horses was excellent. Proper dark film.

                And bollocks to anyone who didn’t like Chicago 7.

                Henry yeah that soundtrack was proper sick and really enhances the film.

                Underwater (2020, downloaded)

                Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassell, T.J. Miller are …… under water. Literally and figuratively. This film aims for a sort of claustrophobic subsea-Aliens vibe and it could have been decent, you feel, but it fails badly. I felt sorry for those involved.

                2/10

                  Thought Dark With Horses was only ok. I really like Keoghan but thought this reeked of a low budget and could have been a bit better in general

                    Enjoyed it as well. The ending was a bit weak I thought.

                    C_J Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassell, T.J. Mille

                    Now THAT is a cast.

                    Unhinged. Russell Crowe has a massive Reg over a bit of road rage and completely loses it chasing after Rachel Hunter. Not his best movie by a long shot.

                      Cameron teased a 4K version of the Abyss two years ago. Getting tired of waiting for it.

                      watched baby driver last night and was pleasantly surprised. thought the sound was really well done.

                      That’s Edgar Wright for you. The king of the edit.

                        Homegrove i watched it after an edible and between the tinnitus sounds that very well mimicked my own, the gunshot snares and rhythmic shooting, and great soundtrack, it was a fun experience.

                        Den Of Thieves (2018, downloaded)

                        Gerry Butler, Pablo Schreiber, 50 Cent and [Ice Cube’s son] O’Shea Jackson Jr.

                        This is a proper guy’s movie. Cool guns, willy-waving cops, weight-lifting robbers. Fuck yeah.

                        It doesn’t all work perfectly, but you’ll like this.

                        7.5/10
