seanc80 The American. Enjoyed it

Ditto, but it’s been years. Might have to revisit if it comes up in some streaming platform.

I’m gonna watch The American later, it sounds a little risky to me but it could top off a weekend of dire films quite nicely.

Vivarium (2019)

Creepy, freaky little thriller with Jesse Eisenberg & Imogen Poots. Grant will no doubt hate this but it was right up my street.

Go into it knowing as little as possible about it.

8.5/10

What can I say mate. It’s available on all the major streaming platforms.

    The American is an excellent movie. And i have been told countless times ,i`m the spitting image of Clooney fwiw.

    The Painted Bird.Mentioned this on the other board before the migrate.Grim + fucked up.Best film in this thread,7/10

      strummer

      Remember when the 1st reviews started coming out for it after the Venice film festival…looked grim viewing. Guess there’s no right time to watch it but not sure now is the best.

      The Legend of Tarzan - 8/10 - I would have given it more, but Alexander Skarsgärd was not nearly naked enough in this movie

      Karate Kid

      7.5/10

      Daniel sucks. Team Johnnie all the way. You can’t just show up to a new town, romp around like you own the place, go after another dude’s girl, and expect that to just all be fine. Fuck you, Daniel. Your best friend is an 800 year old Japanese guy. Loser. Good movie, ‘though.

      I saw something a while back looking at Karate Kid through a different lens….Daniel is the bully! Actually makes a lot of sense when you put it in that context. He does do a lot of instigation!

      You guys are totally missing the point here. Daniel comes from a broken home, has no positive male role models in his life and to be totally honest with you he was gonna end up going the same way as his Dad if you ask me….until Mr Miyagi steps in.

      Sure, there’s some issues around slave labour and unsupervised access to minors here, but bottom line is that he was taught the value of discipline, valour and dedication - values sorely lacking in the privileged white youth of today.

        Between Daniel-san’s weird relationship with Miyagi and Marty McFly being besties with that old perv Doc Brown, I’m not sure what parents were doing in the ’80’s.

        “He sure is spending a lot of time with a single man six-times his age. I’m sure it’s all fine. Not inappropriate at all.”

        Not once did anyone ask to see Miyagis DBS or safeguarding certificates

        Braven (2018, Netflix)

        Jason Momoa & Steven Lang come under attack from some badass drug dealers up a snowy mountain. This was just about alright.

        6/10

          21 Bridges (2019, Amazon Prime)

          Chadwick Bozeman and Sienna Miller hunt some cop-killing ne’er do-wells.

          I struggle with Sienna Miller at the best of times but with that accent? Ugh.

          The first half of this was alright actually but then it goes downhill fast.

          4/10

            Angel Heart (1987)

            Whew lordy has that not aged well. Lisa Bonet looks beautiful ’cause she always looks beautiful. But in this she looks beautiful…FOR LIKE A 15 YEAR OLD. Her going at it with a 48 year old-looking Mickey Rourke is a tough watch. A really tough watch. The movie is also impossibly stupid and Robert Deniro’s fingernails are dumb.

            2/10

            Extraction (2020, Netflix)

            Chris Hemsworth plays white saviour and shoots loads of brown guys, but it’s cool because he’s doing it to protect a brown kid, right?

            I actually don’t mind a bit of ol’ Hemsy and I didn’t mind a bit of this either. Some pretty tight mindless nonsense. Good use of setting. Felt like a game of COD.

            7/10

            Sideways….enjoyable low key comedy about two male friends on a wine tour of California before one of them gets married. Nothing mind blowing but worth watching. 7.5/10

              Watched Pacific Rim again the other night. 8.5/10. I love action films, and this one has monsters AND robots! It makes my geek heart happy.

              The Wraith. Terrible mid 80s action click with Charlie Sheen……and Sherilyn Fenn, so not all bad. Hilariously bad hair metal soundtrack.

              C_J Like your new addition of where / how you watched the film CJ - very handy

              One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

              Brilliant. Read the book when I was a kid as part of my GCSE English, and it started me out reading counter culture literature, but had never seen the movie. 10 crazy horses out of 10.

                vinnyt77 never seen it? Wow…one of my favourite films of all time. Fucking brilliant.

                  Millsy lol! Just gonna watch this Nazi film and eat this packet of Frazzles if it’s alright with you? Shalom. holds out hand for a fist bump

                  It was a Saturday as well. The utter bastard

                  Millsy I know, right? I’m an idiot…

                  I think I had that dumb “the book was brilliant and therefore must be better than the movie” mentality.

                  Twat.

                  Nicholson is incredible in it.

                    vinnyt77

                    Him doing that and Chinatown in back to back years is like repeating in the Super Bowl.

                    Homegrove

                    Was about 4 or 5 years later. But still. Insane run by Jack.

                    Gotta say, ’though, my fav Jack character might be….

                    Is in it for, what, 20 minutes? And crushes every scene. He’s Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. Lector steals the show, but he doesn’t actually get that much screen time. Same with Colonel Nathan R. Jessup.

                    He actually also did both takes, even when the camera was on Cruise, because he said you don’t get material like this too often, and he just loves acting.

                      Homegrove and he just loves acting.

                      It’s not a proper job though is it.

                      Though do agree he’s pretty damn good at it

                      Would like to see Jack at the coalface of business transformation.
