Bits of it were good. Bits of it were interesting. Stupid final few minutes spoiled it, though. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know like an action film that would work without the girl that needs rescuing every 2 minutes. Or the horror film that doesn't need a sex scene. It's like Hollywood has to hit a quota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The Gentlemen 9.5/10 Love Guy Ritchie films, and this is phenomenal. All the cast put in fantastic performances, particularly Hugh Grant who plays someone you wouldn't expect him to play. Loads of quotables and just oozes cool.

Totally agree, watched it yesterday and thought it was great, you are bang on about Hugh Grant, brilliant role for him and had no idea he had that in him. Also thought Colin Farrell's role was superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Watched Hidden Figures on Chanel 4 last night. Based on a true story, so no doubt quite a few changes for dramatical effect, about the space race and racial discrimination/segregation in 1960’s America. Very good film 8/10 Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Just watched Only The Brave on the telly. A pretty decent movie but really harrowing ending so not something to watch if you're feeling low already. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3829920/ 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Booksmart (Currently on Prime) Two high school girls decide they've missed out on all the fun and decide to party, on the night before graduation, when they realise all of their classmates have also got into the same top colleges. Entertaining & reminiscent of some of the John Hughes-type coming of age films in the 80's 7/10 Edited February 11, 2020 by Van Wolfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Bohemian Rhapsody - 10/10 if it wasn't based on real events. Freddie does deserve better though.. 7/10. Edited February 11, 2020 by Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Uncut Gems. 8.5/10. Not something you'd watch over and over, but a good watch nevertheless. Adam Sandler played the role brilliantly considering he's normally known for his comedic roles. Very fast paced and basically 2 hours 15 minutes of anxiety. ?

Comrade 86 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Dark Waters - Superior legal thriller with Mark Rufalo playing Rob Bilott, a lawyer swapping corporate for environmental concerns and exposing corporate chicanery at Dupont in the process. A true story and a compelling if somewhat disturbing watch. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9071322/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4 8/10 Parasite - Korean Oscar winning movie about a family of grifters who perfectly con their way into the employment and good graces of a wealthy family only for their ruse to unravel in spectacular fashion. Brilliant without necessarily being to everyone's tastes. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 9/10 The Coldest Game - Fair cold war espionage thriller whose centrepiece is a chess match between Russian and American grandmasters against a backdrop of the Cuban missile crisis. Some fact amongst the fiction and watchable enough. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6445414/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Watched the Hummingbird Project on Sunday and enjoyed it. A bit far fetched (some might say that is putting it mildly) so I was really hoping it was based on a true story but, doesn't look as if it was.

MuespachRam Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Parastite….excellent, although it was in a really warm art house cinema, I had eaten a load of Korean food and had 2 beers before we went in....so consequently I rested my eyes for 15 minutes.... Watched Annihilation last night....I am struggling to think of a worse film I have ever seen in my life.....it was awful.....actually, not as bad as Natural Born Killers.....but close.!

Comrade 86 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Couple of older movies to recommend. Insomnia back like a biatch so been trawling through a few old favourites to wile away the dark hours. Tonight's double bill was... Man On Fire - Denzel Washington plays John Creasy, quite simply the baddest mofo ever to grace the screen. Playing a washed up CIA assassin working personal security in Mexico. Still my favourite Ridley Scott movie and an absolute tour de force IMHO. Sure most will have seen it but if not, grab some beers, short rib and popcorn and get watching. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328107/ 9/10 End of Watch - Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena play two LA cops heading towards big trouble. Another movie doubtless most will have seen but a strong recommendation if you've not already come across it. Not an easy watch but a great film nonetheless. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1855199/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 9/10 * Note both films contain some pretty violent and upsetting scenes which may not be to everyone's taste but all in context FWIW Edited February 19, 2020 by 86 Schmokes & a Pancake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Ready or Not A woman marries into a weathly family but finds out on the big day that the family must all play a game at midnight due to an old deal with their mysterious benefactor. The game turns out to be an extreme version of hide & seek, with guns, axes & crossbows. Great fun. Silly, gory, tense & funny. Some great lines & satire about The Rich thrown in as well. 9/10 Edited February 24, 2020 by Van Wolfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
