Ira Gaines Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've been debating with myself whether to just go ahead and finish the series off. I enjoyed the fourth one when I first seen it, despite the more ridiculous stuff in it. Agree on the last one though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Death Race 2050 Cheesy remake of the cheesy 70s cult classic. This film is absolutely brainless and absurd with just the right amount of gory violence and gratuitous nudity. If you're a fan of the original you would probably enjoy , if not you should steer well clear. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I saw a trailer for the new XXX film (that shit with Vin Diesel). It looks like Jay from the Inbetweeners describing his weekend. And it features a cameo from Neymar apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I ended up watching Live Free or Die Hard. Which was remains quite a lot of fun tbh. Think McClane is a bit more straight laced than before which takes a wee bit away from it. But as a dumb action movie it does the trick. It's a 7/10 for that. Decided I'm not going to bother with the last one. I have seen it. Don't plan on putting myself through that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Went to see silence last night. I like to watch films then watch the kermode review. Rather than write anything I think I agree 100% everything here 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique Malonga Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Boxing skill gets you nowhere 'on the streets'. I'd take MacLean over Klitschko every day of the week. A street fight is totally different from fighting in the ring but did you see him sparring ? A competent boxer would put him away imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically his son goes about interviewing old colleagues and friends to see what type of man he was etc. It's shite, mainly because of the arsehole son. Some of the old footage is decent, particularly the Roy Shaw fights but most of it is laughable. There's a bit where the son says Lenny would have beaten Mike Tyson and Klitshko in his prime "on the cobbles" yet you see him sparring not long after and Mike Tyson would not have many sleepless nights, put it that way. There's no disputing he was a hard man. If it was a fight outside a pub against normal people I doubt you would have seen much better, he would have been a seriously scary man in that environment without a doubt. Against a Word Champion boxer of the same size/weight it would be a different story. In fact any decent pro would probably put him away. Iron Mike in his prime would have knocked him spark out. The worst thing about this film is the son though. There's a bizarre 5 or ten minutes towards the end where he walks in to a cafe and gets involved in a fight he then tried to talk about the rage inside him and saying it's hard to go out etc. His cousin/friend then pipes up and says it's difficult to come down here because of "the hipsters and the change of it all" Ever see any Big Joe Joyce vids on YouTube? Not exactly classic boxing style but he loves a haymaker. I'd agree about Iron Mike v Bruce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sparred against folk who have done different martial arts but I'm not sure where I'd start with him. He is mental.

11thHour Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Girl on the Train - 7/10. Decent watch this. Was hoping for a bit better but it was still pretty decent. Emily Blunt was great throughout. Expected a twist but didn't expect it to go the way it went. Jack Reacher 2 - 3/10. Teenager was annoying, Cruise looked out of sorts, shot choice was confusing. Terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not playing with the full deck, that's for sure. I watched a fight involving him and another boy and he must have been pushing 60 sure he got disqualified too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Endless Poetry 6/10 Part 2 of Alejandro Jodorowskys series of five (!) planned autobiographical (if he makes it that far before kicking the bucket, he's 87!) films, pretty daft but quite enjoyable, probably massively helped by having a couple of drinks cos it's that sort of film really. LOL at his son playing him, GOT to be a bit weird re-enacting yr dad's sex life (although admittedly none of it with his mum) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Truth..........7/10. Newsroom drama detailing the 2004 CBS 60 Minutes report investigating then-President George W. Bush's military service, and the subsequent firestorm of criticism that cost anchor Dan Rather and producer Mary Mapes their careers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can read the IMDb blurb anywhere Apologies, I don't usually copy and paste. I quite enjoyed it if a tad long winded at times. Robert Redford is a pretty good Dan Rather. The first hour deals with the CBS journalists getting the story and the second hour is the enquiry into them after the shit hits the fan. Hadn't heard of the film until yesterday while half watching Victoria Derbyshire discuss the latest Trump allegations and it was compared to this episode in relation to publishing stories before they are properly verified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Silence. Not very good as far as epics go. Some great cinematography but weak acting and the actors don't really carry the film when it's a film that needs some excellent performances. Wasn't a film I enjoyed nor was it something that will stay with me. Forgettable. 4/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The Last Days Of Mars Decent enough, felt it was very similar to Prometheus in places but less shit and more believable. For a fraction of the budget and hype it's incredible how overhyped it was. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
