Two guys are stationed in a lighthouse on a remote island during the 1890's and end up loosing their marbles.

I watched it on Plex last night. You should be able to find a 1080 copy on the usual movie APK's or Kod1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There appears to be two different movie's called "The Lighthouse" based on the same true events. This was the one I watched last night and was released last year. Funny, when I started watching it last night I was expecting it to be in black and white too. I really should have twigged. [emoji3064][emoji2359] This one is worth a watch too though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The thing that struck me with La La Land is that the opening song wasn't catchy and that was enough to put me off the film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The thing that struck me with La La Land is that the opening song wasn't catchy and that was enough to put me off the film. It has Emma Stone. It’s a classic for the ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 The John legend song in La La Land is very catchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'm sure it's on Netflix. It's been out a while. The film was out before the series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) The Irishman 9/10 Very long and very downbeat, albeit with humorous moments, but beautifully directed by Scorsese. It has none of the glitz or glamour of Goodfellas or Casino, opting instead for a more philosophical approach, meditating on mortality, loss, guilt, decline and death. So many wonderful scenes and full of razor sharp dialogue. De Niro, Pacino and particularly Pesci are all fantastic, with Stephen Graham brilliant as Tony Pro, and I’d like to have seen more of Sebastian Maniscalco as ‘Crazy Joe’ Gallo, as he was really good in a small role. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t completely sold on the de-aging effects, and that’s the only reason I haven’t given it a 10. Otherwise I loved it, but it definitely had an ‘end of an era’ feel to it. Sad to see such great actors and such a brilliant director starting to wind down, but they’re all in majestic form here. I think it will come to be regarded as one of the very best films of Scorsese’s career. Poignant, sad, haunting and absolutely brilliant.

accies1874 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 With La La Land, I really didn't care about what was going on with the music or script as the whole thing just looked Goddamn amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Midway 7/10 Everything you expect from an American war film albeit one starting plenty British actors. I'm not sure about the end it dedicates the picture to the American and Japanese forces who died in the battle, what do others think, is this a good thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Primal.Basically Snakes On A Plane except with jungle animals on a boat. Any film that starts with Nicolas Cage up a tree chomping on a cigar and reading a magazine, and ends with him shooting the breeze with a talking parrot is alright by me.Plus points for Cage's usual bizarre delivery of dialogue and almost Wicker Man levels of scenery chewing but minus points for the scariest thing in the whole movie being Famke Janssen's new face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dedication bit was a bit PC for my liking. Couldn’t imagine Steven Spielberg doing that for the SS guards at the end of Schindlers List. The movie btw was a pile of steaming shite. Not a patch in the Battle of Midway film I saw as a kid in the 70’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch in the Battle of Midway film I saw as a kid in the 70’s. Totally agree. I was looking forward to this film. Read the book "Shattered Sword" which basically said every previous book on the battle was wrong. This battle really was the turning point for the Pacific War and it should have been the entire focus of the film. Instead the film ncluded the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle raid. Also a ridiculous amount of CGI and very little character development or suspense. When I saw the original film in the cinema they use Sensurround which basically made the cinema shake during the battle scenes. It had also been used for the film Earthquake. However it caused damage to a lot of old cinemas so it was scrapped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
