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. 

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

I have to disagree on The Wing, the American version proper gave me the creeps and there's only the Blair Witch Project that's also done that

The Grudge Jap version is the scariest film I’ve ever seen.

Re Green Genie, have you ever seen Irreversible? a bizarre French movie that'll have you potentially technicolour yawning in places. 

That's a very hard watch. Brutal.

 The Big Blue another great French film from Besson before Nikita and Leon.

The Gentleman? Any good?

It's ok, I guess given the cast I was expecting more though. It won't be one I'll be revisiting. 

Sorry, the ales, kicked in.. It was the Irish an I was reviewing 🙄

Go for it. Enjoyed it at the cinema when that was a thing. Turns out Hugh Grant is an ace actor outside of his usual role. 

He's ace in Bridget Jones and About A Boy too

He bummed Paddington Bear...*

At least it wasn't a dry bumming (he used vaseline).

Anyhow he was good in that too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* in 'A Very British Scandal'.

When I use Vaseline it’s to put new football boots and trainers on, makes them softer and doesn’t rip your feet apart, but the consistency does make me wonder if Vaseline is actually  good for bumming,  Shirley the ones on here who whiff of lavender can confirm or deny if Vaseline is a good lubricant. I’ll ask Little Whitt.

I don't know either, and don't call me Shirley, :lol:!!!

Kajaki - true story of British soldiers out in Afghanistan. 100% on rotten tomatoes and keep your ears peeled for the wanderers link towards the end. 
 

*Netflix btw 

Just watched this. Very graphic, realistic take on the Kajaki land mines. Brought a tear to my eye on a number of occasions, no less than when he started singing the wanderers tune as he was led there. Just spent time researching, local lad from Breightmet and he’s achieved a lot since then, fantastic.

Watched The Gentlemen the other night.

Quite enjoyed it, but FFS, how does him out of Sons of Anarchy keep getting big roles? His accent was as bad as it was in Green Street. I couldn't work out if he was supposed to be American, Irish, Welsh or Geordie.

I’d like to hear his actual accent. Everything I’ve seen him in he’s got a bad accent and is a poor actor
