First one was good, rest went downhill That's why I'm hoping they have done this one, to sort out the crapfest of the 2nd and 3rd. First is one of my favourite movies.

Just nostalgia, first trip to Blockbusters to rent a VHS was Top Gun, I've seen it since an embarrassingly amount of times, could probably write the script now.

ramit Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 This one i can only rate in handkerchiefs, it's a 5 Bohemian Rhapsody, watched it for the first time, Mrs ramit had seen it on a flight, but was kind enough to watch it again with her unusual one. i thought the fella playing May was May and Roger was the Roger i imagined and John, well.., but Freddie oh my, Freddie would approve, i think.

No Country for Old Men was pretty good, probably 8 out of 10 good. But OMG There Will Be Blood was a shockingly awful movie. What did the critics see in it? No more than 2 out of 10 for me. Terrible ham acting from Daniel Day-Lewis. Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Upgrade (rent on Prime) Very enjoyable sci fi thriller in which a quadriplegic man is offered a computer chip implant to get his life back. Clever, funny, sometimes gory. Very good. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Papillon (2017 remake) Henri Charriere is imprisoned on Devil's Island and eventually escapes. This is not a bad film by any means, but it is a pale shadow of the Dustin Hoffman/Steve McQueen classic Arthur Stewart/10 (without the fantastic goal v the Dirties) Edited September 20, 2021 by Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Shang Chi - you know what you're going to get with Marvel films, and that's exactly what I got. Fun, some funny jokes, big fight scenes at the end. There were some really funny cameos in it and I was impressed with the choreography of the fight scenes - it felt like it was made by a Chinese/Hong Kong studio, which is a compliment when it comes to martial arts fight scenes. The main actor felt a bit wooden at times, but to be fair, he was always going to when he's surrounded by people like Tony Leung. 8/10 r4derby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Garage People Weird German made film/documentary observing Arctic Russians and what they do in their garages. Fascinating vignettes include a guy who started digging 30 years ago and now has a hole 5 stories deep which he's passing on to his grandson, there's a metal band, some guys who dress up as Nazi soldiers, a guy who keeps chickens, a welder with Parkinsons. They pretty much all drink vodka. Odd but original. Bit of a Morten Bisgaard. Edited September 21, 2021 by JoetheRam sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ve done well in recent years to make each characters movies feel different, and this is no exception. You’re right about the choreography and fight scenes, they each feel separate and relevant. There not an endless horde of aliens and city background, like some action movies, but each fight feels thought out and has a purpose. Enjoyed the main cast as well. I’d agree, solid 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the first 2 acts of the film are slow compared to the rush at the end, but I’ve seen complaints that the timing fees off because of this. Good to hear that you enjoyed it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
