killiepiemuncher Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Nude Nuns with Big GunsDoes what it says on the tin. Revenge movie with nude nuns and drug cartels. 3/10 for the gratuitous lesbo action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 6 hours ago, Detournement said: I watched The Irishman over the weekend. It's fairly entertaining but looks like shit compared to Casino and Goodfellas. Digital movies are something that no one ever needed. It seemed a very long film. I presume you have already seen the film Heat. If so, you might have spotted a gangster film etiquette. "Okay in this film your character whacks my character but in the next film it will be the other way around". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Watched Birds of Passage by Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego. A member of the indigenous Wayuu people gets involved in smuggling weed to pay a dowry, and the story then spans the next 12 years or so of his life and the life of his tribe as they become more deeply involved in and dependent upon the business. A lot of the themes are exactly what you'd expect but a really interesting and beautiful film. 8/10 Also watched both Contratiempo and hogar over the weekend, 2 Mario Casas vehicles which are pretty bog standard thrillers. Not sure why it is but I enjoy these sorts of films in other languages more, maybe because the tropes and the design are very slightly different. Both were very enjoyable and big Mario is part of strong casts in both. Edited January 26, 2021 by Genuine Hibs Fan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 El Camino- was ok. Fairly engaging and well done. Todd is a brilliant baddie, banality of evil and that. I think i'd have got a lot more out of it had i remembered the detail of what had gone on at the end of Breaking Bad, but i didn't. 6/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The Expatriate A former CIA fellah moves to Belgium with his teenage daughter but unfortunately gets dragged into some pretty nasty shit. Luckily his superior brawn and his CIA skillset sees him prevail. A pretty pointless film TBH, like an inferior copy of Taken or Unknown. There's a couple of decent action sequences and the Belgian locations look pretty cool but the plot is the epitome of "meh". Incidentally, I watched this film on YouTube. It's been on there since 2016 and the copyright owners have clearly never bothered getting it removed. Kinda shows that nobody gives a shiny shite about it. 5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The Little ThingsStarring Denzel Washington & Remi Malik. One a washed up Deputy Sherrif & the other a crack detective, team up to hunt down a serial killer who enjoys playing mind games. Quite enjoyed this and the ending was unexpectedly with a nice twist.7.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Game NightA couple attend a game night where the host plans a kidnapping and the others must find them. It soon turns comically bad when an actual kidnapping takes place (not a spoiler FYI, it's very obvious). This results in some good comedy as they obviously think it's a game for a wee while. It then turns into a half decent action film on top of the comedy. Jason Bateman's dry approach is ideal for this and he's again good. Rachel McAdams's daftness compliments Bateman well. I spent most of the film laughing. It's just a daft comedy that keeps you engaged throughout. 8.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do the comedy stuff but also the serious stuff like Ozark. Also, Rachel McAdams is frightening.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Possessor - Brandon Cronenburg is a chip off the old block. Good film, quite mental. Da 5 Bloods - can't believe this was Spike Lee apart from the race themes. Turned it off half way through.

SANTAN Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Just watching 1917, not even half way through and I'm blown away. It's amazing how considering the way they've filmed it there is so much attention to the mise-en-scène. So much subtle background props that really set the scenery in a film that's constantly on the move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
