MONKMAN Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am wrath. Genuinely one of the worst films ever made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saigon Raider Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Caught a couple of films on flights over the weekend: The Nice Guys - I enjoyed it, the two leads worked well together and it was genuinely funny. Felt a little like LA Confidential (but with laughs). 7/10 The Grand Budapest Hotel - Loved it, one of the best movies I have seen in a while. Fiennes was superb and the cast is packed with big names. Thought the entire look of it was superb. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Where did you watch it? I can't find a decent stream but I'm assuming it's been to the cinema. I got it on the Exodus add on in Kodi. I check my Showbox app in the morning and it updates all the recent hd films so when the good ones appear, they also appear on Exodus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Tickled (7/10) Documentary about online ticking videos that takes darker and darker twists. Fucking weird. Edited October 6, 2016 by banana 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My Scientology Movie (3/10) Twice the length of a regular Louis Theroux documentary, and with about a quarter of the content, most of it nothing new. Basically the tense relationship between Louis and the ex-bigwig of Scientology who is his main source of info. Very underwhelming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessmagic Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Deepwater Horizon - 7.5/10 Better than the sub-standard disaster move I was expecting it to be. Not too many cheesy scenes. I thought it could have been improved upon by going into the aftermath and what happened to BP in some detail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The Big Short (9/10) Loved it, 2nd time watching it actually as it turned up on Netflix the other week. Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt with some nice wee cameos from Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez, Anthony Bourdain amongst others. Basically about the guys who predicted the economic crash and made a lot of money out it. Recommended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 While there weren't too many cheesy scenes, there was one utterly hilarious US flag scene. But aye, it's a good movie. 8/10 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_bairn Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Deep-water horizon 8/10 I work in Oil and Gas so obviously I had to see it.First off, at the time of the disaster I remember being pissed of that the environmental disaster was bigger news than the guys dying just doing their job. Anyway this is a nice tribute and on the whole the technical and engineering terminology was spot on. I am interested why the general alarm didn't sound when there was confirmed gas. Also when the gas was sucked into the engine intakes why did the overspeed protection not stop the engines?Expect the director to die in an accident soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The Girl On The Train - 6/10. Hadn't read the book so the twist at the end was pretty decent. First hour of the film is very slow though. Emily Blunt is also annoying as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The Girl on The Train - 5/10. Not enough of the annoying c***s got their heads caved in. Boring and really lacking depth. Bit of an opportunity missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The Wicker Man (some sort of extended version with additional scenes, including a bizarre green-screen bit). 10/10 One of my favourite films and my 11 year old (Parent of the Year award incoming) thought it was hilarious and loved the music and general anti-establishment attitude of the locals. Our hero/joker frequently says of the locals "you're all mad" and the audience gleefully agrees. I always feel quite patriotic about it too and feel it fits in well with everything from Restless Natives to Under the Skin with an honest portrayal of Scots on screen that films so often get wrong. It's in the horror genre but I don't think modern audiences would find much scary in it - just enjoy the bad behaviour, the outfits, the music, and the humour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 First time I saw The Wicker Man was as part of a BBC2 season on cult movies, introduced by Alex Cox. I'd never heard of it and so watched it with absolutely no prior knowledge of what was to come. At the climax I kept looking at the clock, wondering how Spoiler Edward Woodward was going to be rescued in the few minutes that remained. I don't know when the penny dropped that he wasn't going to get out of it! Spoiler for the benefit of the three people who've never seen it (and don't look at the cover of the DVD). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Regarding the Wicker Man, I thought Sergeant Howie was a total dick. He was a huge arrogant bigot strolling around looking down on folk and openly mocking their beliefs, despite himself being a massive Christian and failing to see the monumental irony. I was cheering when the cunto got burned. Anyway, yesterday I watched Dragon Blade. It's absolutely fucking garbage. I don't think it was meant to be a comedy yet much of it was pretty much acted like it was. It features an intensely irritating wee kid who looks like a poofy wee p***k who spends most of the time on camera crying in a deeply annoying manner. When he dies I was ecstatic. Anyway, this shit fest features Jackie Chan, Adrien Brophy and in the most phoned in performance I think I've ever seen, John Cusack. Cusack and Brophy are Romans. Chan is in some sort of Protection Squad (actually called 'The Protection Squad) on the Silk Road. He is framed and his lads are all packed off to some labour camp where they have to rebuild the city walls in 13 days or be executed. Cusack and his bunch of Romans are fleeing after the wee cunto boy was blinded (by Brophy; they're brothers and Brophy wanted the inheritance). They chance upon Chan and his lot, and Chan somehow manages to command everyone in the labour camp. Chan and Cusack fight for a bit then become mates. The Romans help rebuild the city walls. Brophy and his Romans come looking for Cusack and take him and his men prisoner. They demand the city hand over Chan and they'll spare everyone, so they do at Chan's bidding. Cusack is blinded by Brophy. Chan puts him out his misery by shooting his in the throat with an arrow. All the folk from the labour camp attack Brophy's Romans. Chan and Brophy fight, and Chan kills him. Some Parthains turn up. Some shit about brotherhood. Blah blah fucking blah. A horrid, wretched mess that was an utter waste of the time of everyone involved but most importantly my time. I went for a nap afterwards and ended up sleeping for 2 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it the locals were totally debauched but it was a much more open and equal society than the one Howie felt was right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been unsure if that was the case, and have always hoped it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
