The script is one cliche after another and the woman playing the detective can't be an actual actress. Mick Coop / 10 Looking at her my first thought was that she normally performed in ‘specialist’ films…. The whole thing has the feel of a student or school film - but I suspect that students would be embarrassed to produce such poor quality.

Chester40 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Monkey Man I was very tired so struggled to connect as much as I should ...but it's a film a lot of people on here are going to like. @Comrade 86you suggested Sisu, it felt similar but errrrrr.. different to that! Immersed in a very different culture, a slightly unlikely hero, really gritty brutal action scenes. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out she's the wife of the writer / producer of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubbs Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Bullet Train has been added to Netflix. Action/comedy with a few big names like Brad Pitt and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Multiple assassins all find themselves on a bullet train unknowingly having the same mission. It's an enjoyable watch and one to not take too seriously. 7.5/10 sheeponacid, Stive Pesley and Bob The Badger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I too would give it a 7.5/10 if I didn't want to get castrated by @maxjam,, so instead, I will opt for a Gary Micklewhite/10 Jubbs and maxjam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Netflix...where the Crawdads sing, About an abusive Father who beats his wife and kids while living in the marshes of South Carolina, When one by one Mum and kids leave, Leaving only 1 Daughter left with the Dad...Kya. Not my cup o tea...but kept watching, Kya must have been around 10 when Dad decides to leave leaving Kya alone, The story then revolves around her and men and social services and a murder. A little strange but I thought it got better as the film moved along...7-10 Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the attempts at comedy were awful, and the American actor’s British accent was unbearable. Jubbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram-Alf Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Masterminds on Netflix, The biggest armoured car robbery in the USA...With Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis Based on a true event, Lots of giggles in a slapstick movie 😊 one to cheer you up on a gloomy day 👍 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Seize Them: comedy set in the Middle Ages based on a queen fleeing a mob who have overthrown her. Has Nick Frost, Jessica Haynes, James Acaster and the girl from Derry Girls. With that cast I was expecting something but got nothing. Not one single laugh. Whoever was casting director we need to sign them up as scout as they seem to have some special ability to convince talented individuals to commit to causes of no possible good outcome..

AndyinLiverpool Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Atlas. Jennifer Lopez Sci fi thing. You can spot the, er, 'influences' - Aliens, Avatar, Blade Runner etc. and there's a bit of Bond villain about the antagonist (I think he even says, 'I've been expecting you,' at one point). But it provided enough diversion more or less. Wanted it to be better. Lee Morris / 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 "The Last Bus" (2020). BBC iPlayer. Timothy Spall plays an old man who takes a sentimental journey from John O'Groats to Lands End. Despite a few clunky parts, it's a touching story with Spall playing the part well. Tommy Smith/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Zodiac Seen it quite a few times but it's always a great watch. Film making of the highest order. Unbelievable attention to detail, great acting, lots of little storylines that keep intersecting. It about the hunt for the Zodiac killer, but its really long and covers an extended period of time and you really feel that change of time, yet somehow relaying it back it also feels like not much happens. If you like the first series of True Detective this is one for you. Crewton and Comrade 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
