Green Room (2015, BluRay)

Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots and Paddy Stewart navigate a hostage situation at a far-right gig in the woods.

I really enjoyed this tight little number…..but enough about Imogen. Well acted, well paced, well crafted. Simple but effective. Good use of dogs.

8/10

Homegrove

I still need to see that. Patrick Stewart as a baddie is intriquing enough.

Homegrove you’ll love it mate

Dark Waters (2019, download)

Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins sue DuPont for poisoning the world.

This is a worthy tale that starts out kind of alright but ends up dragging on a bit. It’s not completely unwatchable but you will glance at your watch.

6/10

C_J I enjoyed it, but you are right, it does drag on a bit.

C_J

Along_the_Wire course I’m right mate. I’m always right.

Watched The Firm and lost interest after the 30 min intro into Cruise’s perfect life. Don’t know what happened but I hope he lost everything and ended up working at Walmart doing double shifts.

LT42 it had Gene Hackman in it. That’s enough for me. Legend

Lost In Translation is a wonderful film.

This is Barry Norman signing out.

LT42

alistair That’s exactly why I put it on. He couldn’t save it. Gary Busey’s couple of scenes were great to be fair.

The Hater (2020)

Polish flick with overdub/subtitles.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! A bit long but I had fuck all to do today anyway. About a sociopathic kid who goes ham on social media for what seems to be the sheer hell of it (or to pull this one babe - whichever). Well shot. Well acted. Well paced. Solid 8/10.

jonattonyeah How might one watch this with English subtitles if they are based in the USA? Looks interesting and I wouldn’t mind watching it.

Christian

The Business with Danny Dyer. Dont even know why i sat through the whole film

Along_the_Wire

The Last Seduction - great fIlm from 1994 - Linda Fiorentino is fantastic in it. Fit as fuck too. 8/10

it’s considered a classic neo-noir. I had to look it up to be honest - looks like I love neo-noir films as a general rule of thumb.

Also watch Shoot the Moon, pretty much the only Alan Parker I’ve never seen. The most notable thing in it is subliminal advertising for Another Brick in the Wall. It’s okay, quite dated, 6/10

In both films you see a doris getting the back of a man’s hand - don’t see that very often these days.

LT42

Along_the_Wire you see a doris getting the back of a man’s hand - don’t see that

So true, check out the opening scenes of the original The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds, slaps the bejaysus out his missus then steals her car, lights up a stogie, laughs, and then tears off under hot pursuit from the filth. Classic.

Millsy

Along_the_Wire blimey. Haven’t seen the last seduction in yonks. I actually studied it for an A level course back in the 90s. Did a whole election on neo noir. Some great films from that stable.

Along_the_Wire Chinatown has a brutal slapping scene.

But I mean, will anything ever top this?

Like millsy,haven`t seen that for years.Good call.

jonattonyeah

It’s on Netflix in the US. And I believe you can turn subtitles on v. having the overdub.

Columbus (2017, download)

John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson & Rory Caulkin star in South Korean-born, intriguingly-named film-maker Kogonada’s debut about a student of architecture and her relationship with her dying professor’s son.

Bit of a weird one this tbh. Relatively little happens but it’s so beautifully shot and acted, and so strangely intriguing, that it held my attention throughout. Like, it shouldn’t have worked but it did.

Mesmeric and relaxing, the perfect antidote to something like uncut gems.

7.5/10

Along_the_Wire

C_J nice, will add to the list

Dan

jonattonyeah Watched that with my kids…they were cracking up.

LT42

Thought Greyhound was very good. What a mad way to spend your time during a war. No room for claustrophobia that’s for sure. 8/10

Jules72

LT42 might have been my not watching it in one go, but I thought it was pretty generic.. good action scenes but not much character development
