Thankfully a movie like that wouldn’t be allowed today. Roxanne 1987- Awful and unwatchable. Films set in British Columbia (Vancouver and Nelson respectively). Recently watched Runaway with Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons. Aldo filmed in Vancouver. Not a comedy. A Michael Crichton crime drama. Very dated. I recall a film review about Stake out. "Why so much violence in something that is supposed to be a comedy?" There is also the follow up Stake out 2.

JustOneCornetto Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Marnie (1964) Tippi Hedren plays Marnie, a clearly disturbed woman who has become a compulsive liar and thief. Sean Connery as Mark Rutland finds out what's she's up to when she applies for a job at his company. Rather than turn her in he takes her on as some sort of project, marries her and is determined to find out what has made her this way. Unmistakably a Hitchcock film that is deeply psychological throughout with good performances from the two leads. 7.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Much to my surprise I really liked this. Rachel MacAdams is so lovely/stupid in it that it was impossible not to warm to her. She really carries the whole thing. Plenty of good stuff from Ferrell and Brosnan and some good set piece comedy stuff. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 On 03/07/2020 at 14:25, DA Baracus said: Bridge of Spies 7/10 Tom Hanks is great. Mark Rylance was great, but the description of him being from 'the North of England' when he had a Scottish accent annoyed me. That bugged me too until I read up on Rudolf Abel. He was born in Newcastle but, despite having never lived in Scotland, he 'did' speak with what was described as a distinctive Scots accent. I can't find the link now but it seems that was an accurate bit of detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Killing Bono 7/10 Based on a true story. An Irish lad and his school friend both form bands. The brother of the first lad is going to join the band of the friend until his brother (who is the first lad) asks the friend to refuse so that the brother can join his (his brother's) band. The friend is Bono and his band become U2. The brothers form their own band, with the brother who nearly joined U2 unaware that his brother stopped it happening. The brothers struggle with their own careers in music all whilst watching U2 become one of the biggest bands in the world. An amusing film well worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blootoon87 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Parasite. Really impressive. Probably an 8.5 just now, but I need to think about it more. There's not much more I can say without spoiling anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is my brother in law's friend's brother's friend or is that brother in law's friend's friend's brother. At any rate my sister met him once at a wedding a long time ago. True. However, she is no longer married to Bono's brother's friend's brother's friend so I guess that is okay now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
