TimRam Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) St Georges Day (2012). Recorded this a while back so unsure if it's on anywhere else. Brit gangster thriller with a cast including Craig Fairbrass, Charles Dance, Sean Pertwee and Keeley Hazell (unexpected character!) 7.5/10. Not bad at all.

I haven't seen this but I do think Charles Dance is a very under-rated actor. One of few who can portray a page of script in a couple of facial expressions & I could watch him all day long.

Just watched the Lancaster documentary and he fitted that perfectly. Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Prey Predator prequel movie on Disney+ I'm not a huge fan of the Predator movies tbh, I saw the original at the cinema many moons ago which I enjoyed but the rest range from kinda meh to utter crap imho. This was pretty good though, it had the feel of the original in places despite the different setting and the action sequences at the end were far better than the CGI'd bit in the middle. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Watched A Simple Plan on BBC IPlayer last night. Reminded me of the Fargo series (probably because it was set in Minnesota and starred Billy Bob Thornton ? but also because of the way the story line developed. A strong 8/10 Also watched Rogue Agent the night before. Good film based on a remarkable true story. 7.5/10. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 40th anniversary showing of Tron at local cinema. Yes it was that long ago. The effects and plot have stood up well (as a side note 1942-1982 is the same time period!). 8/10. Crewton and Wolfie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they're doing 40th anniversary showings of Star Trek: Wrath of Khan in early September. I'm going to have to go to one of those!

JoetheRam Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Bullet Train I guess Brad Pitt looks kinda cool in a bucket hat which is an acheivement for someone who's nearly 60. Anyone who isn't Reni from the Stone Roses come to think of it. That's about as good as it gets (Japanese versions of Stayin' Alive and Holding Out for a Hero in the soundtrack aside). I really don't know how I got dragged to see this. It's like the director decided he loves Guy Ritchie films, wishes he could have made Snakes on a Plane and once had Kill Bill vol. 1 described to him over a bad telephone line and he decided to combine these elements into one corned beef hash of a film. Obviously these type of picture aren't going to be high art but there's no excuse for lines like "He follows me around like...something witty". And it just goes on and on and on (as films tend to do these days) - this kind of brainless action should be 90 minutes tops, this is 125 for absolutely no reason other than to increases the product placement time of a bottle of Fuji artesian water (which has more backstory than most of the main characters). Oh and one character (definitely inspired by Tyrone from Snatch) seems to have based his entire outlook on life from watching Thomas the Tank engine. Fine if he's a minor character and this is a small quirk revealed in a clever way (it gives an irreverent post modern touch) but somehow this ends up being a central tenet of the film. Absolute Mascarell. Edited August 29, 2022 by JoetheRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I won't watch Michael Flatley's vanity film, but if the hysterically bad trailer is anything to go by, the IMDb reviews should be well worth checking out.

Jubbs Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Watched Everything Everywhere All At Once at the weekend as it's now on Amazon Prime. A unique film, definitely my favourite of 2022 so far Incredibly creative, enjoyable film although I can see why people didn't like it. 9/10 Edited September 6, 2022 by Jubbs Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you and would give it an 8/10. Mrs Woflie I'm sure would be nearer a 4/10 - but then her favourite films are the Bad Boys franchise, so she clearly knows nowt.

It's currently a 3.3/10 on IMDB and the high scores are sarcastic ones. I want to see it, just for the laugh but I aint paying for the privilege cos that'll just encourage him.
