Any fans of Music Bio's?  I'll pretty much watch and usually enjoy any decent music bio/documentary even if its not my type of music.

I found a film called CBGB on Amazon Prime. Came out in 2013 and not sure how I missed it at the time.  Thought at first it was a documentary but turns out it was an actual Biopic about CBGB's in New York throughout the New York Punk Scene of the 1970s.

A bit cartoonish and had a similar feel of 24 Hour Party People but an outstanding soundtrack as well as all the bands featured you'd expect, Television, Talking Heads, Ramones, Patti Smith, Blondie, Dead Boys etc etc

Its not perfect but if like me you are into music films then its worth a watch.

I love stuff like that so I'll seek that out.

I've a couple of recommendations.

DOA is a documentary about The Sex Pistols ill-fated tour of the USA in 1978. There's plenty of good concert footage along with interviews with various suburban American kids trying waaay too hard to be punk.

I'd also recommend B-Movie: Lust and Sound in West Berlin 79-89. It's a documentary about a bloke from Manchester who moved to Berlin in the late 70s and got involved in the alternative music scene there. Well worth watching if you're into scenes and subcultures.

The Raid - redemption (2011)

Im not typically into action films. I'm not typically into foreign language films.
Stumbled across this film and I am so glad I did. Such fast paced, authentic action.
Simple story, swat team goes into high rise tenemant to take out a kingpin and has to fight their way out against thugs. Similar premises to Judge Dredd, same idea as Die Hard, stuck in a single building and trying to survive.

The action seemed so real, fast paced. Reading on Imdb, all the cast went through Indonesian navy special ops training before the film which may explain it.

Defo worth a watch if you like action films, and even if you hate subtitles, the story is simple and watching martial arts doesn't require much understanding.

9/10

The Joker (2019)

I love Joaquin Pheonix and think his personality is made for such a role. Anyone who has watched his mockumentary 'I'm still here' will know how much of a strange individual he appears to be so this is perfect for him.

I thought the final was a haunting but brilliant prequel and back story to one of films most iconic villains. Almost felt sorry and an understanding for his behaviour.

Often these films are so hyped that when I watch them they fail to impress but I have to say The Joker did not disappoint and I thought the film, and Joaquin Pheonix's performances were excellent.

9/10

Rewatched The Dark Knight last night. Brilliant film all round and Heath definitely deserved the Oscar. However, having seen Joker twice, I have to say his performance in a less in your face role was superb and surely deserving of at least a best actor nom.

Watched a film called Dark Crimea just because it starred Jim Carrey. Bad movie, very gloomy, little dialogue, shocking for shockings sake. Only 90 minutes long though

A documentary on Scottish punk and post punk music with some pop like Altered Images thrown in. Wish Scottish music today was half as innovative.

yeah thats ace.

Theres a music doc about the music of Laurel Canyon out...anyone seen it? Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Byrds etc?

Saw Joker last night.  It's an absolutely mesmerising performance from Phoenix.

The night was slightly marred by the sound being fucked up for the first half an hour and them having to stop the film to restart the sound system.

Saw it 2 days ago, storms were forecast here so we went to cinema instead of the beach. The movie was disrupted by a half time smoke break, mid scene too. The film just stopped and everyone got up and left for the bog or a fag, my daughter and I just sat there, unsure wtf was going on. Great movie though.

Where did you go to see it?  The 70's?

It cost £1.95 for me and £1.68 for my daughter so you’re petty close.

(She got a child rate even though the films an 18 )

D2 the mighty ducks

One of my all time favourite films from my childhood.

10/10

Can someone please tell me what the manager of the Trinidad and Tobago coach says when they score?

I say 'what a goal man, what a goal'
My son says ' way to go man way to go '

I’d say ‘way to go’. Hard to tell though

I've listened to it about 20 times and cant make it out.

Watched Watchmen last night. Been meaning to watch it almost since it came out but never had. Quite a strange film I thought in that it started excellently (the opening credits are a bit of a masterpiece imo) and just steadily went from great to good to ok to awful as the film went on.

I love the opening credits of that film, genuinely one of the main reasons I'll watch it when it's on. Enjoyable film until it becomes a mess.

Stan and Ollie- an absolute delight, John C Reilly and Steve Coogan should have got oscars 8/10

Agreed. One of the best movies I’ve seen this year. 

[BFTD]

Godzilla 2: Godzilla Harder - an eco-terrorist group decides to wake up all the big monsters for shits and giggles.

This was very poor. What little plot there is, is terrible, and the characters are stupendously dull archetypes delivering cliched dialogue. Naturally, the main point is the big CGI lizard, but unfortunately the bulk of the film is, once again, discussions between tedious cookie-cutter humans that nobody gives a shit about.

There are some gorgeous individual shots in this, though - you'd swear they storyboarded some striking visuals they wanted to include, then allowed the crew's kids to sketch together a script using those elements. Oh, and I could be wrong about this, but does Ice Cube's son actually interact with any of the main characters at any point? I swear they added his scenes in later. There's a bit towards the end where he talks to somebody, but they're never in the same shot, so his dialogue could've originally been spoken by someone else. Very odd.
