Smallman1 Great film.
Beautiful Boy (2018) Quite a sombre look at a parents fight to save his son from a serious drug addiction, based on a true story. Steve Carell plays the father of Timothee Chalomet, both actors put in a strong performance I thought.
gcw I enjoyed this. Two good performances from two talented actors like you said.
Watched air last night. For a two hour Nike commercial, it surprisingly wasn’t too bad. I think the soundtrack did a bit of the heavy lifting.
Tetris (2023)
Absolute fucking dogshit. Avoid like the plague.
0/5
C_J Why would you?
C_J Did you end up watching that Korean flick, “Decision to Leave”? Can’t remember if it was you who said it was lined up…
Oldboy (2003)
I reckon 16 year old Amps would have quite liked this and thought it was some proper edgy tale of revenge, but 46 year old Amps thinks its just okay in a pseudo John Woo kinda way.
2.5 wild as fuck octopus eating scenes out of 5
Dark City (1998) - recommended to me as decent sci-fi - enjoyable watch, but it’s a bit of a mess and has so many plot holes. 6/10
Project Wolf Hunting. Lots of bad people trapped on a ship with an experimental Japanese super soldier left over from the war. Hilariously violent and very enjoyable.
Sisu A Finnish John wick who is a gold digger during the 2nd world war takes on the Nazis. A pretty violent caper. 7/10
Duel (1971)
I’ve always loved this, and hadn’t seen it in a while. The concept, the cinematography, the lack of dialogue. 9 horn toots out of 10 IMO
gcw Brilliant film. Put Spielberg on the map. Masterful the way he builds tension and reveals little, a technique he hones to perfection in Jaws.
alistair Alistair’s been on the Barry Norman Pickled Onions.
Pretty sure gcw hasn’t been living in a cave.
Along_the_Wire and why not? lol
rhouses it was me, and no not yet.
rhouses yeah enjoyed that … by the same director as Handmaiden… preferred the latter, although still a good and very atmospheric watch
Did watch The Covenant (2023) though
Thought it was really good. No wokeism, proper boys own tale, really well done.
8/10
Jules72 will give it a watch soon. Requires a certain mood.
