Paul Kersey Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Hollywood Vice Squad The recent discussion on this thread about Cannon films reminded me of this 1986 movie. My local video rental store had a copy but my mum thought that I was too young to watch it. I googled it yesterday and found it in full on youtube. It's a typically trashy 80s straight to video feature starring Carrie Fisher and Joey Travolta as unorthodox cops investigating porn and prostitution. There's a fair mix of violence and slapstick. It's like it can't decide if it wants to be serious or a comedy. There's all the usual 80s L.A. cliches, like street punks, hookers, pimps and drag queens. Shite, but entertaining shite. 6/10 Edited June 28, 2021 by Paul Kersey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky even gives Pete Gibbons a mention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Just turned off King Kong v Godzilla or whatever it is called. I liked the first Godzilla and thought the last one was ok. This had no redeeming features and was boring the shit out of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Office Space is a great film - so much so that even Jennifer Aniston comes over well. Did ya get that memo? I'll make sure to send you another copy.

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 At Eternity's Gate. 2018. Willem Defoe in a biography about the final years of Vincent van Gogh's life. Good if a little depressing. Dafoe’s best career performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Saw Cruella tonight at the cinema.. all of 10 folk in there.9/10 amazing film. I was expecting a kids mushy look at how cruella grew up but it turned out a good look at how cruella came to be. Emma stone was great and Emma Thompson was excellent. All pulls together well into the original Disney story.Dogtainian tomorrow… I hope it’s as good as the original 30 years ago! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 10/10 for dogtainian. Nostalgia to the max.It took a year of my childhood to get through the same story the film did in 90 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Die Hard with a Vengeance is just starting on itv4. This was actually the first Die Hard movie I saw and I love it. I like the puzzle in the park and I’d plough the German bird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also very anti Vatican which was formative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Were you guys watching the 3D version of the Liam Neeson film? Edit: Clash of the Titans, not Dogtanian. I've no idea if Liam Neeson's in Dogtanian. Edited July 4, 2021 by BFTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Neeson is not in the Ray Harryhausen version of Clash of the Titans, and Ray Harryhausen does not do the special effects in the Liam Neeson version of Clash of the Titans, which is a shame, really. About time stop-motion made a comeback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centralTon Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Saw The Father at the McRobert last Saturday, outstanding performance from Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman was superb as well. Went back last night to see Supernova, great performances by Colin Firth and particularly Stanley Tucci. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
