Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 Paris, Texas was on t'other night, for the first time since I relented and joined the ghastly riff-raff with big tellies and bought one mesen. Excellent - a classic. It was followed, unrelated, by a film called 'Una', which was bizarre and disconcerting at points. About a victim of grooming (Rooney Mara) confronting, in adulthood, her abuser (Ben Mendelsohn). I almost switched off several times. It became obvious early on it was a play adaptation. It also became obvious early on the; playwright, screenplay writer and director were blokes. I know works are supposed to provoke debate and push buttons but several scenes were appallingly handled. Mara's (adult) character for example has a shower at one point, showing everything, for no discernible reason and totally unrelated to plot. She's a cracking body which, given the nature of the film, seems a bloody waste, imagine being caught leering over her..? I reckon', without checking, Mrs Phoenix (she's married to him - Tobias that is) is one of those actresses who have 'necessary to plot' nudity in every film they're in. I've read she'll be getting her kit off in the upcoming 'Mary Poppins' remake - in which she plays the titular role. Quote

Zico Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 I might even put it above reservoir dogs thinking about it The tension in that opening scene is top notch Quote

wanderer1984 Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 I'm on my holidays so decided to do fuck all today. Flicking through the channels and found a film just starting on itv4. The Sting. Fairly old (1973) set in the 30's. Easy to watch and a pretty decent film I've never seen before. Quote
bolton_blondie Posted May 29, 2021 Posted May 29, 2021 Watching bad boys for the first time. Why have I never seen this before?! Quote

The position of their base made no sense at all to me. It reminded me of Rorke’s Drift and Zulu. Quote

Dunno I that was just artistic license, but that should have scared of the towel heads on its own! Quote

Blondi Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Watched The Outpost on Amazon prime, not a bad film, based on true events, it was a bit like the Taliban version of Zulu but not as good of course. Quote

On your recommendation I watched it. What a bag of shite! It was like watching someone play first-person shooting games on a PC but as a third-person. Cheap and low budget camerawork. Quote
green genie Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Cruella is pretty entertaining pitching her as punk rebel against established design queen. Good 60s and 70s tunes throughout Quote
