tongue_tied_danny Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I watched The Krays on Youtube last night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jktyIH7JMa4 Billie Whitelaw was fine. The rest was stilted shite. Even Tom Bell (a brilliant actor) seemed uncomfortable in his role. The Krays is a fucking dreadful film. A couple of vicious thugs are nice to their mum while daydreaming about swans and crocodiles. The only good bit is the cameo appearance by Blakey from On The Buses as a jobsworth copper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I watched The Warriors last night. I'd pay all the money I have for a Wu-Tang Clan parody of it. Very 70s, some cracking shots and I'd watch it again. Warriors is quality. You might like The Wanderers if you haven't seen it, not as good as Warriors imo but good film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Warriors is quality. You might like The Wanderers if you haven't seen it, not as good as Warriors imo but good film. Both are class, my alud man hunted for The Wanderers on DVD years ago. Took him ages to find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint dave Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Warriors is quality. You might like The Wanderers if you haven't seen it, not as good as Warriors imo but good film.I reckon these were probably two of the most passed around pirate videos in the early-mid 80s. Remember a brief spate of copycat gangs popping up , the Feegie Baldies , probably , the most infamous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_BCFC Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I watched The Wanderers after reading the above posts. I quite enjoyed it despite not knowing exactly what genre it was meant to me going for (coming-of-age, comedy, action or a mixture)!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Next Goal Wins Documentary film about the American Samoa football team. Once beaten 31-0 by Australia this film follows there progress in 2011 with Dutch Head Coach Thomas Rongen as they attempt to win there 1st ever competitive game. Was an enjoyable watch with everything from transgendered players to the story of the tsunami that hit the island a few years back. Football fans should enjoy it. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JogaBonito Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The Godfather Possibly the only film that could get away with a scene where a guy (Carlos) gets knocked down on his ass by a punch landing 3 feet from his face (Sonny) ..Hell there are so many scenes I enjoyed in that movie, most notably Enzo and Michael just outside the hospital. Loved Michael's character arc and that final scene where Kay is just looking on and see his husbands (?) hand being kissed by the others. Marlon Brando's accent annoyed the hell out of me but I loved his character (bit of romanticising going on as he would probably have been a cold motherfucker if he was based on someone genuine)..9/10 Pulp Fiction Royale with cheese, le Big Mac, Ezekial 25:17, I don't eat swine; this movie is incredible. 9.5/10 Can't believe it took me this long to watch those two, but glad I finally did. Got the Godfather box-set, so will watch part II soon [general consensus seems to say that III should be chucked out the windae]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Speaking of Pulp Fiction, did anyone else think it peters out after Bruce Willis saves Ving Rhames' poor wee bumhole ? Tarantino's cameo is pants, and that whole segment with Harvey Keitel through to the diner scene is very meh. Could just be it's disappointing after everything else, but it seemed a very mediocre end to a barnstorming film. Edit: also, The Godfather Part 2 has been ruined a wee bit for me since I discovered that Frankie Pentangeli was supposed to be Clemenza from the first film, which is fairly obvious when you think about it. Can't help think about how much better an already-great film would've been if Richard Castellano hadn't fallen out/been frozen out of the second film. But yes, you'll be amazed at how poor the third film is. Edited March 30, 2015 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Still Alice I thought this was really well done. It's not going to be a film you're going to continually go back and view but it is definitely worth a watch. Having worked with Dementia (and sadly, living above someone who has early onset) I don't think it was at all over the top. If anything, I thought the writing and Moore's acting was subtly done throughout the film. There is a scene near the end where Alice watches a pre-recorded video of herself and it's then you truly notice the transformation of Alice. Both physically and mentally. It's such a tragic scene. Moore completely deserved her Oscar for her performance. Absolutely superb performance from the woman and portrays the horrible f£cking illness exceptionally well. A really well directed film and good strong performances from all involved. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyTON Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Fire with Fire 5/10 By the numbers revenge-type movie - Usually the sort of plot line reserved for WWE star Surprised it attracted so many "names" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wild Tales 8/10 Absolutely focking mental set of 6 short stories from Argentina. Pure entertainment, no filler. I heard that one of these stories is almost prophetically close to a recent tragedy- reading about it was pretty spooky. I'm keen on checking this out soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by The Godfather novel , his story in earlier days is almost bang on Lucky Luciano's including the Castellammarese war , then later seems to head towards Frank Costello. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The second Godfather is even better than the first. Magnificent films. The third would be fine if it was called something else. As a third instalment in the Godfather series, it's nowhere near good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Get Hard Saw this in the pictures last night. Standard Will Ferrell fare, I generally find Kevin Hart annoying and he was insufferable at the start of the film but I warmed to him as it went on. Some decent laughs but nothing groundbreaking. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Mommy 4/10 Bit film school project this although it did have some interesting ideas and the mental kid in it was v good. Absolutely busting for a piss towards the end so think that might have increased my negativity towards it as I was just desperate for it to finish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Next Goal Wins 8/10 Watched it last night after seeing people mention it on here. Thought it was brilliant. The Dutch/American coach was a total arse, but the film was really well done and the ending was brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
