Co.Down Hibee Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) The Magnificent Seven the re-make with Denzil and co. Enjoyable enough,modern westerns can be good but tend to lack charm and style that the older ones have ,this is the same, the scenery is impressive though can't decide wether there is CGI used there was a kind of fake look to it.(maybe it's just me) The action is good and they had a decent mix of humour in it. As said enjoyable enough 6.5/10 Edited April 27, 2017 by Co.Down Hibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Watched Malcolm X last night. Obviously seen it before but still really enjoyed it again. Denzil was amazing . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 As part of the Dundead festival they screened The Mist in black and white as Darabont originally intended. I'd seen the film when it first came out, but it was so much more powerful in black and white. Amazing film. The ending still hits hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 At the recommendation of @the_bully_wee, Perks of Being a Wallflower - 9/10. On the back of Thirteen Reasons Why, I absolutely loved this look at mental illness and isolation and love and longing. Ezra Miller is amazing -- can't believe he's still only 24. And well done, Emma Watson, for doing something other than a plummy English accent. But Logan Lerman is faultless in the troubled lead. Loses one point for the conceit that no one has ever heard of Heroes by David Bowie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The Wrestler was a solid 8.5 for me. Amazed that it actually took me this long to even see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 20th Century Women Absolutely pish Turned it off before the end. There's probably a separate thread there. Movies that you thought were so pish you never seen the ending! Sent by a horror show tolchock to the litzo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Loses one point for the conceit that no one has ever heard of Heroes by David Bowie. Aye, that annoyed me too. Tunnel song or whatever they call it that they can't remember and it just turns out to be one of the most famous songs of the time.Good film though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loses one point for the conceit that no one has ever heard of Heroes by David Bowie. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Both are, of course, wildly different (not least due to being series vs film), but deal with similar issues and the same general theme. I'm due a re-watch of Perks, having not seen it since shortly after its release. I have to say, though, that I think I prefer 13RW, but I would need both fresh in my mind to really compare them. On Bowie and Heroes, I'd have to say that being around the age of the characters in question (16 circa 2012), I think a surprisingly large amount of my peers wouldn't have been able to identify the song. He and his music only really had a breakthrough with my generation after he died. That said, it's not unreasonable to assume that characters like Watson's and Miller's would be into the 70's/80's music scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Zelig (1983) Mockumentary starring Woody Allan about a human "chameleon" who can alter his appearance to fit in with those around him. Mildly amusing but not his best work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Going to see the 112 minute version of Salem's Lot on the big screen tonight. Terrified me as a child, just hoping it's not dated as badly as I think it has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellinwigan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The Finest 7/10 Enjoyed this wee film about making a film during WW2.Starring Gemma Arterton (wid) and Sam Claflin who has impressed me as an actor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Guardians of the galaxy 27/10Good sequel that gets better as it goes on.Suffers from a muddled tone and plot early on but once it hits it's stride it is excellent.The biggest strength of this compared to the other Marvel films is it's setting away from Earth allowing them to basically do whatever they want giving it a more unique feel.Plays a little bit on the goodwill built up to the characters in the first film but that's a minor point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
