paranoid android Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just watched David Lynch's The Straight Story . Based on a true story where an auld boy drives hundreds of miles on a lawnmower to visit his brother before they check out. The supporting cast, which includes Sissy Spacek and Harry Dean Stanton, are perfect, but Richard Farnsworth pretty much carries it. Maybe a bit slow for some folk, but a wonderful film, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Beerfest Corny low brow comedy about a bunch of Americans taking part in a drinking contest in Germany. It amused me. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Come and See I watched Beerfest earlier so I decided to follow it up with something a wee bit more serious. Come and See was released in the Soviet union in 1985 and it follows the fortunes of a disgruntled teenager who joins the partisans in German occupied Belarus. This isn't exactly light hearted entertainment but it one of the most incredible and powerful films ever made. Googolplex/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassnahalf Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Caught The Wedding Singer on 5star. Great nonsense, cheesy in parts but with the tongue firmly in the cheek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Vengeance - A Love Story.This might well be one of the worst films I've ever seen. Nic Cage in a bad wig absolutely phones in his performance in an atrociously written Death Wish style vigilante story.It also contains the most outrageously bad courtroom scene committed to film. Ever.Fractionally redeemed by Don Johnson exiting the movie in full dandy lawyer suit on a Harley Davidson.1/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - there's a massacre in Texas. With a chainsaw. Eagle-eyed spods will have noticed that 'chainsaw' is one word, so this must be the Michael Bay produced remake. The wean wanted to watch this after I persuaded him that he'd probably find the original a bit dull and weird. It's more of a straight-on blood 'n' guts horror film than Tobe Hooper's classic, which was an obvious move, but probably better than trying to ape the first one. I quite like it, and had forgotten quite how obsessed the camera is with Jessica Biel's knockers. BigFatTabbyBoy thought it was "fine", but he's a big Gordon Ramsey fan, and is still going on about how a recurring sound effect in the film was "stolen" from Kitchen Nightmares, no matter how many times I tell him the film came out first and it's a common stock sound 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just watched that Eurovision movie. Always had a thing for Rachel McAdams but her with that accent in this movie Really enjoyed the movie, I'm a sucker for Eurovision so naturally I was going to like it but the storyline was good and ofcourse Will Farrell and his crazy ways was always going to put a good spin on it. Get ja ja ding dong on!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 You Should Have Left is an astonishing piece of work. Even saying 10/10 kinda feels weak.Watched this last night on the back of this post. Pretty disappointed tbh. Thought it was a decent enough watch but we were 45 minutes in before anything really happened. I've seen the style they used in Insidious so that idea wasn't new to me. Ok watch without being spectacular. 6/10. What did you like so much about it out of interest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The Terminal. One if those films I thought 'that was alright' first time I watched it and just gets better and better everytime you watch it. I think yesterday was the fourth time I watched it and was still picking up new bits I'd missed on previous showings. Just a good fun film. 8/10.Watched this last night, brilliant feel good movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you like so much about it out of interest? he is pulling as many people in to watch it as possible, pishing himself laughing in the process. 6/10 very very generous. 3/10 at best in my opinion. I though David Koepp the writer/director had a better pedigree than this and then I recalled he wrote IJ and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though David Koepp the writer/director had a better pedigree than this and then I recalled he wrote IJ and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was a good "wtf is going on here?" film that kept me wondering, so for that reason it got such a high score from me. It was just a bit too long before anything of note really happened and there wasn't much need for it. I enjoyed the directing as well. It just wasn't anywhere close to being 10/10. My guess is the OP hasn't seen Insidious as that style was good the first time I watched it as well. I expect it's been done before Insidious as well but that's the first film I saw using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Stake Out 1987- Creepy as f**k tbh. 2 middle aged guys spying on a woman in her early 20s. Thankfully a movie like that wouldn’t be allowed today. Roxanne 1987- Awful and unwatchable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently watched Runaway with Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons. Aldo filmed in Vancouver. Not a comedy. A Michael Crichton crime drama. Very dated. I recall a film review about Stake out. "Why so much violence in something that is supposed to be a comedy?" There is also the follow up Stake out 2.

JustOneCornetto Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Marnie (1964) Tippi Hedren plays Marnie, a clearly disturbed woman who has become a compulsive liar and thief. Sean Connery as Mark Rutland finds out what's she's up to when she applies for a job at his company. Rather than turn her in he takes her on as some sort of project, marries her and is determined to find out what has made her this way. Unmistakably a Hitchcock film that is deeply psychological throughout with good performances from the two leads. 7.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Much to my surprise I really liked this. Rachel MacAdams is so lovely/stupid in it that it was impossible not to warm to her. She really carries the whole thing. Plenty of good stuff from Ferrell and Brosnan and some good set piece comedy stuff. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
