paul-r-cfc Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The Last Right (Prime)Irish road trip comedy about two brothers and a random headcase transporting a corpse from Cork to the North. Some really funny moments and a healthy smattering of Game of Thrones characters throughout. Worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 12 Angry Men. Incredible. I have seen a lot of folk win a best actor Oscar for mainly box ticking performances. Every single person in this film deserved an Oscar! Proper acting from real film stars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a film thats been done many times but its still an excellent watch. Timberlake is good but the young boy steals nearly every scene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring and keeping quiet about the low score (5.1] on IMDB, I persuaded my wife to watch it last night. Tempted to stop after an hour, but hoped it would improve - Nope it got worse and the flying scenes were hugely overlong, the fireworks scene was pointless, the plot was like some recent Dr Who PC boring shit. Attempts at humour (eg cows outside the office) missed the mark. The scene with Steve trying on various 80s outfits was forced and pathetic. Someone on IMDB has said it makes Justice League look Oscarworthy an while that’s a bit far fetched, it’s a good indication of how bad this was. If good old Cineworld was open, we’d probably have walked out of this. A 3 for me. AVOID!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Restless Natives I caught this on BBC Scotland last night. It's been decades since I last saw it. For the uninitiated, this is a light hearted Scottish caper from 1985 about a pair of gormless Edinburgh youths who decide to rob tourist coaches in the highlands. It has aged reasonably well even though it's obviously very low budget and some of the acting isn't too great. There's some amusing dialogue and the Edinburgh and highland scenery looks really good. 7/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I think Restless Natives hasn't aged well at all, and is quite a slog to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 This was last nights viewing for me and the Mrs. I had been looking forward to this for months since i saw the trailer and cast however i was a little bit disappointed and cant put my finger on why. I just think they didnt really build up much tension as you knew who the killer was pretty early. The ending didnt really satisfy me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Mulan, the first cartoony version. 8/10 very funny and silly when given too much thought, but funny.Gave the 2nd one ten minutes and chucked it.Will watch the recent "real person'' version later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they didnt really build up much tension as you knew who the killer was pretty early. The ending didnt really satisfy me I think the writers left it open to whether Albert really was the killer for the viewer to decide and also the question whether it was Deke or Baxter. IMO, I don't think any of them were. I think Albert was just an obsessed wierdo leading them on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The Wrestler - moving story about, ermmm, a wrestler. Mickey Rourke and Maria Tomei are both excellent and they both spend much of the film with their top off, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I saw Young Guns 3 is in development so I watched the first one. Emilio Estevez and Lou Diamond Phillips absolutely dominate but Kiefer Sutherland is a wet blanket compared to his virtuoso performance in the sequel and Charlie Sheen is completely wasted and I was actually glad when he got shot whereas when I was a kid I was gutted. Solid entertainment but nowhere near the level of the mighty Young Guns 2: Blaze of Glory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Burn after reading. Coen bros comedy of manners. The first 7/8 are pretty good. All star cast. John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton are top notch as the central couple of twats. Brad Pitt is enjoyably OTT as a dumb gym bunny. Frances Mcdormand steals the show as a superficially sympathetic lonely spinster, who is dangerously self obsessed. George clooney is also ott but in a really irritating way. The whole scene setting and plot unfolding is packed with good understared character comedy and a reasonably silly plot. The denouement and ending lets it all down though. What actually happens isn't bad, plot wise, but it just feels half arsed and rushed. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that little tidbit about a Q-Anon Capitol couper stealing a laptop from a Democrat's office and trying to pawn it to the Russians. Life imitating the Coen Brothers' art. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
