Recent Filums I've Watched

[Zico]

La Haine doing the rounds at Light Cinemas for it's 30th anniversary

going tomorrow night

Green And Gold. Worth a watch if you have any interest at all in American football and/or the dairy state.

I know two families very similar to the main one depicted. One in Richfield and another in Menomonee Falls. Off to stay with the latter for a short while in the New Year. Packer and Badger thirst will be sated. Not sure about 'tractor pulls' and walleye hunts but yee har.

Leinenkugels.

Last Breath with Jason Statham. It was a good watch the documentary/film is better though.

Mrs wasn’t expecting Death of a Unicorn to turn out like that
Wonder how many little princesses will get ptsd from unsuspectingly being sat in front of that.

Re-watching '28 Days Later' in anticipation of the recent release of '28 Years Later'. Forgot how great a film it is, but fuck me the Cockney accents are almost as bad as that geordie who was in Green Street. Must have been too pissed to notice 20 years ago.

Just watched Barbarian on Netflix, I'm speechless.

I didn't know till just now

but a new Wes Anderson film came out last month and is already on my IPTV

The Phoenician Scheme

pretty much the usual cast

I'm excited about this

has anyone seen it yet?

[Zico]

is nothing fucking sacred anymore

Dear Holllywood,

don't you dare touch Red Heat, or try and remake Terminator 1, 2 or Predator

feel free to have another crack at The Last Action Hero though

TBF Running Man was a Stephen King story turned into Arnie vehicle so if goes back to source material has some merit.

So was the Shawshank Redemption but I don't want anyone to remake that either 

Or the shining, which was very different to the book 

Am still wounded from the total recall remake (based on Phillip K Dick story)

If Arnie had played Red you might feel differently

Nothing to do with Stephen King, but the 2017 version of 'Pappilon' is probably the best remake I've seen of an almost-sacred movie. It was much more faithful to the book, and was extremely well done. I still love the original though.

I liked the book but didn't like the original film as it just couldn't capture the essence of the story 

Not seen the remake 

Will add it to my list

I've read Ring, it's a decent, wasn't a huge fan of the Japanese version but the US remake is my #1 horror film, and in my all time top 10 

Maybe even top 5

You're in for a treat. I was very sceptical, but ended up really impressed. I prefer the Japanese version of Ring. Didn't even know it was based on a book.

There's a trilogy 

Ring, Loop and Spiral 

I've got all 3, read the first and got about half way through the second

I sometimes just stop reading for a while

Then start again and go for it and do a few books in a short space of time 

Then stop again 

Currently stopped

Yep, doubt the third one will get made unless second instalment adds something.
