JoetheRam Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Talented Mr. Ripley Odd. The premise is promising, but it just drags on and the end is pretty unsatisfying. Jude Law is decent in it but then gets killed off about an hour in and the film loses its way. Matt Damon's weakest performance of his career possibly? Feels like a supermarket own brand version of American Psycho, crossed with Catch me if you Can. 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Synchronic on Sky movies. Starring Anthony Mackie (Falcon - Marvel), and Jamie Dornan (50 shades, The Fall) as paramedics struggling to handle weird deaths after people take a mystery drug. takes about half an hour to get going but then gets really interesting.

Wolfie Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Locke (sky Movies) Basically it’s 90mins of somebody’s life in real time, driving a car in the dark & mostly on the phone with his boss, colleague, wife & mistress. Sounds like it should be crap but Tom Hardy is fantastic as the main (only) role, as we watch his life threaten to fall apart. Never seen such a minimalist film before. Not completely satisfying (no spoilers) but enjoyed this. 7/10 TimRam and Chester40 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Ready or Not (Sky Movies) Re-watched this the other night & still love it. Comedy thriller in which a bride has to play a deadly game on her wedding night, in order to join her new family. Clever, witty, weird. So many good characters. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Watched Tombstone again last night. Quite an old movie now but still a great watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 The Invisible Man (2020) watched this on SkyTV tonight. It had high ratings so gave it a chance and it was very good in my opinion. Starring Elizabeth Moss of Handmaid’s Tale. Mason Mount/10 TimRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Owt good on at the cinema? And by good I mean anything not based on a comic book. Not my cuppa. Edited August 23, 2021 by JoetheRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Fight Club Not watched it since it first came out. Probably get shouted down but still wasnt a huge fan, as much as I like David Fincher it feels like it's reputation is better than it actually deserves, all didn't quite hang together for me. Prefer Gone Girl, Se7en and Zodiac but still worth a watch. 7/10 Comrade 86 and Bob The Badger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Watched Where Eagles Dare for the 85th time yesterday and finally realised I like it because it's effectively Richard Burton playing James Bond in a war film. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife genuinely laughed out loud on more than 1 occasion in a pretty full cinema.

Gone Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The Gentleman, loved it not seen a film like it for a few years. Reminded me of Lock stock etc. Defo recommend it Dean Saunders/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The Green Mile. If the Shawshank Redemption is Wayne Rooney/10, this is a John Rooney/10. Looks similar, is perfectly functional in a similar vein, but ultimately nowhere near as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Personal Shopper (iPlayer) Kristen Stewart as a personal shopper to a supermodel in Paris, mourning the loss of her twin brother (who is a medium, like she is) & waiting for "the sign" they promised each other from the afterlife when they died. This was recommended to me but it's just awful. It can't decide whether it's a ghost story / stalker movie / murder mystery or horror. It jumps between them for its duration and then just abruptly ends, with no conclusion. 3/10 just for the occasional creepy moment but seriously, dont.

Eddie Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The Accountant Ben Affleck plays a mathematical savant who works as an accountant for some very unsavoury people. He also has a penchant for changing bad people - from being alive people to dead people. A thoroughly enjoyable bloodbath. 7.5/10 Bob The Badger and Gaspode 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the practical effects of going over double-entry bookkeeping using a Barrett M82A1 .50 calibre rifle, especially in the EFL headquarters? Much better than an HB pencil.

AndyinLiverpool Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 47 Metres Down: Uncaged I have become mildly addicted to Netflix's 'Play something' feature, which has thrown up a few watches in recent weeks that surprised me. However, because I watched 'Jaws' of my own free will, it thinks I like anything with sharks in it and while 'The Meg' was a diverting Jaws knock off, 47 Metres Down: Uncaged is woeful. Put me more in mind of the unforgivable 'Shark in Venice' than Spielberg's masterpiece. 2/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
