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.

Very good, but "Get Carter" , despite its age, still wins it for me.

Great film

for years whenever I'm unfortunate to be at the match & some big lummocks starts , I think back to this film.

"you're a big man, but you're out of shape" , " to me it's a full time job, now behave yourself"

Then I've no problem with defending myself appropriately! 😉

Weve got top gun on

Kelly McGillis...utter filth

My favourite ever film, not because it’s well written, well acted and Of course it’s plainly cheesy as fuck. USA...USA...USA.

But from the ages of 8-14 I reckon I must have watched it easily 20+ times and of course Kelly McGillis made my dicklet twitch as I got older.

Still get a thrill now watching those flying scenes and HAVE to watch it in full when I spot its on!!

Coffee and Kareem on Netflix. Daft, but very funny imo. The kind of film my dad would've loved 

Thanks for the heads up, watched it last night very funny.

I don’t think Denzel Washington has done a film below 7/10

Training Day though has to be close to 10

Aye cracking film.

Ha ha yes, I think the "big man " turned out to be Coronation St grocer, Alf Roberts !!

I'd never seen it until last week. Lockdown demands all kinds of compromises, Mrs was happy to watch and I thought I might enjoy the bits with the planes in, seen the trailer for the new one at the flicks a few weeks back. 

One of the campest films I've seen in my life. 

Last modern film I watched was The Joker, Joachim Phoenix was really good in it, but definately one for the bat-natics

Been upto Newcastle/Gateshead where a lot of the film was shot. 

Not much of 1971 Newcastle left now, the two pubs, the railway station (Though very modernised) and the large staircase leading down to the Tyne.

As for Gateshead the infamous multi story car park is long gone (Now a supermarket), but did find the guest house he saw the two thugs off from wearing nothing but a 12 bore shotgun.

Gascoigne film on Netflix. One of my heroes.

Great player, that goal against Scotland was class in a glass.

Brick Top - what a character, bloody brilliant. Proper evil bastard!

When it comes to psychos in general how's about Frank Booth from Blue Velvet played rather too convincingly by the late great Dennis Hopper. 

Red Dragon. Brilliant and the best Thomas Harris Book

Yesterday.

That Danny Boyle Beatles effort.

Lovely

Sexy Beast - superb.....

Watched it 20 years ago at the valley...

Read it years ago and think it was the first book that genuinely had me on edge as i was reading it

Totally agree 

There’s a part in it that I had to go back and re-read because I was genuinely shocked.

That and The Shining are the only books that’s scared me.

Recorded Martyrs off horror channel and watched last night.

Hadn't realised it was Hollywood remake of French original.

Needless to say, search out the French original. Stylish like Nikita and properly disturbing. Remake was another Hostel wannabe. 

Watched Bad Trip last night.
It was everything The Impractical Jokers should've been.

Very childish, I loved it.

 

Has anyone seen 'The Greasy Strangler'? I'd recommend it as one for the whole family to watch...

(don't read any synopsis or reviews, you'll ruin it)

Same with the American versions of Ring, The Grudge etc, the Japanese originals are far superior and scarier.
