It was down to a St Mirren poster spelling that way so it stuck. Pretty sure it was Stuart Dickson but sure someone will be along to correct me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Highlander. Again for the hundredth time, love this film. It’s a perfect film one of those like Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction that I can watch at any time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Molly's Game (2017) Jessica Chastain is very good in the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic class skier, who had to give up the sport after an injury but then went on to run exclusive high-stakes poker games befor being targeted by the FBI, subsequently arrested and then tried. Screenplay is written by Aaron Sorkin which shows as it's very fast paced. Idris Elba and Kevin Costner are also good as her attorney and father. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) The Man Who Killed Don Quixote It's a shame that after over two decades of trying to get this made, Gilliam has given us this. It's a mess. It feels like he's tying to blend the insanity/mental unstability aspect of The Fisher King then tries to blend in some of the fantastical stuff like Time Bandits. It doesn't work. Driver and Pryce are game and do their best, but the plot if confusing and the script is dreadful. For a so called passion project is doesn't have very much of it. 5/10 Edited September 2, 2020 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I watched the 2019 live action remake of The Lion King at the weekend with my daughter. Visually stunning but I can't really get my head round why they felt they had to make it. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I thought the remake was trash, lacked the charm of the original which really held it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I See You 2019 I really enjoyed it, a fair sprinkling of misdirection in the first half, all neatly explained during the remainder. And what a soundtrack, top notch electro which reminded me a lot of 70s/80s Sheffield bands Cabaret Voltaire and Hula. ETA I was well over half an hour into it before I realised the female lead was Helen Hunt. f**k me that's some bad cosmetic surgery she's had, she looks like Odo from Star Trek DS9.

JustOneCornetto Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 The Stranger (1946) Lesser known film-noir but pretty good with Edward G Robinson playing a War Crimes investigator trying to hunt down a Nazi played by Orson Welles who has settled in Connecticut and is now married to Loretta Young. It's a game of cat and mouse with Edward G using every trick he knows to reveal the true identity of Welles. The story works well apart from the fact that there is not the slightest hint of a German accent. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me I'm no youngster but it's not a film I had heard of before, I usually think of The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep and Touch Of Evil when film-noir is mentioned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Birds of Prey and the Fabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn 7/10 A lot of fun. A bit try hard in places but entertaining overall. A far better use of the Harley Quinn character than Suicide Squad. In fact this was pretty much the movie that Suicide Squad should have been, and I'm sure that's intentional. Lack of Joker is a huge positive, especially since the Leto Joker is easily and by far the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I was pleasantly surprised with Birds of Prey. The kind of film I'd never have bothered seeing without my unlimited card.Harley Quinn was one of the only positives of Suicide Squad and showed she's a character that was more than capable of carrying her own film without all the shite that dragged SS down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I appreciate Jared Leto’s Joker in as much as he’s the actor most likely to become the Joker off the back of how his portrayal was received 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was what a load of suits thought 'crazy' should be. It was as dreadful as it was boring. Every single version before him was so massively superior in every way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of folk who think 'being the Joker' means being some sort of edgy alternative individual. In reality it means being a dull, unoriginal boring flange with zero personality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
