Great soundtrack too. 8/10. I did a 'search Google for image' on your avatar, and it came back with Derek Mcinnes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Movie 29 (Kid #1) -- Max Keeble's Big Move 0.5/10. Utter shite. Lasted 80 minutes. Felt like 400. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 District 13 (2004) Paris, a crime-ridden district has been walled off from the rest of the city. Drug lords rule & any cops there are mostly corrupt. The leading actors are Parkour/Free-running athletes, and it's worth watching for their ability to climb, bounce & leap over any obstacle. Some truly amazing authentic stunts. Think of an Escape from New York/Fast & Furious/ Transporter hybrid and that's District 13 Enjoyable nonsense 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too absolutely loved it as a kid. Would imagine that I too would be in bits watching it now. Fucking sharp tooth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 The Gentlemen. Lovely stuff. 8/10Just came on to say I just finished it. Brilliant film but what accent was the c**t from Sons of Anarchy trying to do??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Rocketman. Now I'm not in any way an Elton fan but it was very enjoyable. Recommended. 8/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Finally got round to watching Silver Linings Playbook. Wonderful. Some superb scenes. Bradley Cooper is a class actor. Feel-good ending which I couldn’t really enjoy for fear it would be snatched away at the last second (particularly with an earlier reference within the film to a Hemingway book that had a very sad ending). 8/10 or 5 (in joke) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Movie 30 (Kid #2) -- Mrs Doubtfire 7/10. It still has its moments and it gave me a few chuckles but jeez, I didn't realize until now how much everyone sucks in this movie. The Robin Williams character would be impossible to live with, refuses to take responsibility for his actions, and in the end blames the fact that he's left with supervised visits on his ex-wife despite lying for months and breaching trust. Sally Fields is too highly strung about a tidy house, is a bitch when she drops the kids off an hour late and picks them up an hour early, and is beyond stupid not to realize who the housekeeper really is. It's overthinking like this that ended up spoiler Ferris Bueller for me. What a fucking p***k he turned out to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 23 hours ago, stanton said: Sherlock Holmes day on TCM , Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce catching the bad guys and saving the day At the start of one of their films it says "Based on the story Dancing Men by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle". If so it is real blink and you'll miss it. Enjoyable all the same. I assume you know about "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" which includes Loch Ness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomCat Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Green Book - Well acted, funny, endearing. I'm glad Mahershala Ali won an academy award for his performance. Exceptional. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Blue StoryBased on real life experiences of life growing up in the London borough of Lewisham, between waring rival gangs conflicts over each others territories being invadedI found it hard to follow the black London lingo at times but the violence was pretty hard hitting. The guns that were used on film sounded more like cap guns though. Decent enough watch.6.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Electra Glide in Blue A slightly inept highway patrol cop investigates a murder in 1970s Arizona. It's cool film with a beautiful cinematography. A lot of long shots of endless roads through Monument Valley. The movie is dated but is a decent time capsule of the hippy counterculture era. 7/10 Edited April 14, 2020 by tongue_tied_danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
