Kingsman The Golden Circle - Turned it off when he fingered a tracking device into a bird. Absolutely terrible.

That’s early doors. It’s not as good as the first one but it’s a fun and ridiculous watch.

Robot Dogs and Julianne Moore being egregiously bad. I'll pass.

Robot Dogs and Julianne Moore being egregiously bad. I'll pass.

Fair enough, I wasn't trying to convince you to watch more than just the beginning. I mean, it gets sillier from there on in, so you probably made the right decision. I just think it knows that and does silly quite well, so for those who are into that sort of mindless entertainment, it's a decent 'romp'.

[Alan Sex]

I'm an hour into The Tourist. Don't think I'll bother with the other hour.

This thread is about films, not hitchhikers that you’ve picked up and abducted.

[Alan Sex]

They're probably only talking about IKEA or porn. Make it up.

And you would be wrong. The conversation revolves at least 75% around ABBA. I think there’s a law about that in Sweden.

An American Werewolf in London. 10/10

Fucking love this film. Brian Glover, Rik Mayall in the pub scene. Jenny Agutter. Irving Berlin on music details. Do yourself a favour and revisit this classic ASAP. The special effects are groundbreaking. John Landis who directed did Thriller a couple of years later.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Dunkirk. 5.8/10. Great visuals. Not much else going for it in my view.

Agutter is fucking ace in this. Many an adolescent fantasy fuelled. Great film too, some good humour as well as fine horror.

Detroit is a very sombre watch but a good account of police brutality in the earlier years of accounts - Kathryn Bigelow seems to be building up quite a nice record of films.

 

8.5/10

[Anny Road]

She had Bad Moms on last night. Fucking hell it was shit and I was not even watching it.

Women being Leary and sweary.

0.2/10

Agutter is ace in everything. She's even more ace in nothing.

[Mendoza]

Stronger- oscar worthy performance from Jake Gylenhaal- 8/10.

The soundtrack was amazing.

[Grinch]

England is mine - meh, so dour I can't be arsed to rate it. It ends right before he plays with Marr so much like his solo career, nothing of interest.

[Harry Squatter]

Bushwick. 4/10. Dave Bautista as an ex military type caught up in a civil war after southern states decide to take over the rest of the country.

 

First half hour is good and you are waiting to know the ins and outs of the plot. It then goes shit and then virtually nothing happens for the rest of the film.

 

The Glimmer Man. 5/10. Steven Seagal in probably his last film that didnt go straight to DVD.

 

Shady ex military type with a mysterious past in Vietnam.

 

Buys Chinese herbal medicine

 

Bog standard fight in bar/restaurant against a load of bad guys.

 

Finds new and entertaining ways of killing/maiming people - has a stanley knif blade in his credit card and slashes Russian Mafia baddies in the throat when cornered.

 

Bad tempered partner/chief who ridicules his interest in all things oriental.

 

Bad guys aware of his shady past who warn other bad guys that he could kill them before they've moved a muscle.

 

Over the top final fight with main bad guy that usually involves a novelty death of having a screwdriver smashed into his skull or impaled on metal gates.

 

Basically a template for every film he's done.

The Disaster Artist - a 'making of' movie of the movie 'The Room' which I have seen reviewed on here. I've never seen 'The Room' but it looks awful but this is a great film, really fun and quite mocking of the whole pretentious nature of Hollywood. Well worth seeing whether you've seen 'The Room' or not but I would imagine if you have then you would probably enjoy this movie even more! I haven't seen James Franco in many films recently (I think the last was a cameo in the last Aliens movie and that was very brief) but he was brilliant in this. Hope to see him in more and look out for lots of cameos from familiar faces!

Mother!- total bollocks- 4/10.

I quite enjoyed that film, although I agree it was a nonsensical film.

[Stickman]

Mother!- total bollocks- 4/10.

Pretentious shite . 2/10

Bardem has been living off No Country for Old Men for far too long I can't remember him being in anything decent since.

[liverpoolsno9]

Mother!- total bollocks- 4/10.

Was just coming on here after watching that. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. Absolutely fucking dreadful. What was with Ed Harris and Pfeiffer? I had to google what it was all about and I'm still none the wiser. -10/10.

Detroit

 

Incredibly powerful and moving film about the 1960's race riots in Detroit, focusing on the Police brutality and murder of some black kids in the Algiers Hotel, and attempts to bring the racist filth to justice.

 

Extremely topical, with the orange twat in the Whitehouse and the good ol boys on the rise up.

 

Oscars akimbo await for Kathryn Bigelow and deservedly so. Affecting and engaging.

 

9/10 Terrarium.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Message from the King. 7/10.

 

Low Budget Netflix thriller. Not a bad watch, made a difference from your usual thriller where every criminal is tooled up to the teeth and the usual shit what goes off (major shoot ups with no police turning up until too late etc). Believable enough but not the film you will want to watch if you are expecting action or high budget scenes. Worth a watch imo.

Darren Aronofsky's Mother is crap but Bong Joon Ho's Mother is a masterpiece.
