green genie Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Greatest Beer Run Ever, based on true story makes it worth a watch. Bit sanitised for a ‘nam film. Russell Crowe is enjoying getting old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t get it Like Mrs Manc (2nd generation pikey) said it’s a lovely film about how thick the culshies are. What the FECK is the point in a FILUM that propagates stereotypes without meaning? Hopefully someone will tell me what the point of the film is. I genuinely would like to know. Colin Farrell played a great part. I got that. I’d seen his interviews about it so was looking forward to it @bolty582/10 is generous I thought it was just me (once again - which does not concern me of course). Fabulous scenery. Loved the donkey (I'll be supporting those tangerine twats next). After that I am genuinely struggling. Once he started cutting off his fingers I'd seen enough. Each to their own though. If some perceive huge artistic merit in it then good luck to them. If we all liked the same thing it would be a sad old world. Knowing what I know now, someone would have to pay me handsomely to sit through it. Utter fucking tosh IMO but then again, I thought The Commitments and Remember The Titans were absolutely brilliant so my judgement is probably best ignored. Following the superior intellect of someone who is a big mover and shaker in the arts world might be a wiser course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the superior intellect of someone who is a big mover and shaker in the arts world might be a wiser course. For what it’s worth, I agree with this. I thought it was just a lightweight, meandering film with a pretty flimsy plot. Scenery was great, but that doesn’t really warrant all the fuss. And again, I thought The Fifths Element was superb, so it’s horses for courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Fall on Netflix. If you enjoyed the claustrophobic and hopelessness atmosphere of The Descent (2005) then I reckon you'll enjoy the vertigo and same hopelessness of Fall. Similar cast and storyline. A loss of someone close has our main character languishing in mourning for a year. Her best friend persuades her to get back on to the free climbing horse and climb a very tall transmitter mast in the middle of a desert. A couple of things made me mark this film down. One was that a active transmitter mast would not be left to be in such a unkept state (yes, I know it's a fussy gripe but my H&S side kicked in). The other was the feet's of exceptional superhuman strength that our main characters possessed. But some of this was somewhat explained later on. The ending was a tad disappointing too. Take away my minor criticism and you have a tense ride for the majority of the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
