Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

Night out in Manc. Come home. What’s on TV only Rambo First Blood. There’s certain films that I just don’t get tired of no matter how shit and cheesy they are......

 

I watched Spike island again.

It was shitter than I remembered it

Rambo First Blood has a lot more going on than you'd first imagine, imo.   Not told in the most high brow way (thankfully) but ahead of the game re. PTSD.

 

Any 80's action film, especially with Schwarzenegger, is usually an absolute quote fest  

 

'You mustn't drink  . . . and bake'  being one of my personal faves.  (Raw Deal)

I watched Spike island again.

It was shitter than I remembered it

 

Watched it for the first time on Saturday. Awful. The acting was reminiscent of 90's Grange Hill. And that bit when they were supposed to be recording a song was painful.

Baby Driver: was decent enough, bit daft towards the end but good soundtrack and all that - 7.5

 

The Invisible Guest: Spanish murder mystery thriller where bloke wakes up  in hotel room next to his dead mistress and he's getting done for it, so has to then convince his defence lawyer he didn't do it, which means going back over the the shit that went down that led to them being in the hotel room to figure out who the killer could be.  very good -  8.5/10

 

Heard about that a while back.  One to watch when I have man flu or alone as my Mrs wouldn't watch it.

 

If it's anything like Calvaire it can fook off

what the fuck is that

A Buddhist film

right then, most  messed up film you've ever seen?

 

I thought Antichrist was grim, but this one wins it because basically there's a scene of folk eating turds and stuff:

 

Salò, (120 Days of Sodom)

 

Probably the most banned ever artistic movie. Shocking, disturbing, but thought provoking. Four fascist libertines round up 9 teenages boys and girls and subject them to 120 days of physical, mental and sexual torture.

Sounds absolutely delightful that!

 

Used to work at Blockbuster and we’d get those Tartan Asia Extreme titles in, most were alright and pretty decent either horrors like Ring or thrillers like Infernal Affairs but one or two odd ones used to slip through.

 

Visitor Q showed up once and we got an urgent staff email saying do NOT put it out on the shelves it was sent by mistake. So naturally I took it home to watch and it was just bizarre really, think the final scene featured a bloke coming home to find his sister slowly filling up the kitchen with her own milk, which he then proceeded to writhe around in.

 

This wasn’t long after his dad got his bell stuck inside a corpse that he was shagging due to rigor mortis which his wife helps to remove with olive oil.

 

Would have been a rental hit I’m sure

MdS was, in part, an inspiration for the moors murderers.

Might give it a miss...

Odd one, isn't it!?

Why are films that contain such things always labelled 'arty'?

 

Wank, or bereft of ideas, would usually be more appropriate.

 

Antichrist wasn't too bad though, imo.

Edited December 4, 20178 yr by madthatter

Thor: Raganrok - 7.5/10, the best of the three films IMO. Defo worth a watch.

 

Detroit: 7/10 - Interesting topic and something i didn't know a great deal about prior to watching. But not quite as good as i'd hoped/expected.

 

Brawl in Cell 99: 6.5/10, Lethargic, dull and uninteresting for an hour then kicks into life and grabs you by the throat for the second hour. Missus hated it.

Korg is brilliant in that.

Having read comics with him in I'd never pictured a kiwi accent.

new star wars

 

decent enough, but few too many cheesy scenes and lines - 7.5/10

 

thing is, as disappointing as parts 1, 2 & 3 might have been, at least they filled in the back story to 4, 5 & 6

 

7 & 8 just seem to be different takes on 4 & 5 - very similar story lines, just a generation on

 

them light cinemas are good mind, did the one in stockport, reclining seats and plenty leg room are the future, took me a few minutes to get up at the end

Dunkirk - decent

What's it about?

Watched it last night, enjoyed it but I can take or leave Star Wars rather than being a Star Wars Ultra, so I can see why it has been quite divisive amongst the fans.

 

Minor spoilers alert...

 

 

 

Liked the Porgs, but they laboured the point with them after a while. What the actual hell was going on with that whole casino set up? I actually enjoyed the funny scenes but there were a lot more of them than I'd have expected... that bit with the iron, brilliant.

 

Favourite part of the whole thing was probably the scene where Holdo warp speeds into that giant samosa spaceship. The image and the silence was a proper spine tingling moment.

Dunkirk - decent

Watched the prequel; Dunspock. Beltin!

I watched it in the same cinema - top place that

 

As for the film it was entertaining but the Star Wars nerd in me is seriously pissed off at loads with it which I won’t go into on here.

Dunkirk is fucking brilliant.

I’m with you but the Star Wars nerd in me nearly burst at Luke’s Han line near the end.

 

That was inspired.
