Comrade 86 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Terminator Dark Fate - features a wise-cracking Linda Hamilton who seems to have developed Tourette's since her last run out. Meanwhile, Arnie has morphed into an empathetic terminator, very much in tune with his feelings, who muses on life, the universe and fag packet philosophy. Grim. A horrible CGI fest and two hours I'll never get back. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6450804/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Clod / 10 Motherless Brooklyn - bit of a creeper but glad I stuck with it as it finished with a deal more gusto than it started. A tad over-hyped, but a decent enough movie all the same. Ed Norton wrote, directed and stars. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385887/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Pesch / 10 Edited January 18, 2020 by 86 Schmokes & a Pancake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have half a mind to trust you know what you are talking about and I love Ed Norton so will definitely give that one a whirl. Everything I have heard about Terminator has made me think it will continue to wreck the series legacy so again you sound on the money. Does put me in a rather a quandry though as you gave Ford v Ferrari a great review but I don't really find cars interesting and I thought the trailer looked dull as ditch-water.

If you're not into motorsport I'd give Ford v Ferrari to be honest. Try 1917 or The Irishman instead. Both are great. If you like The Irishman have a look at A Bronx Tale. It's older but something of a hidden gem. Edited January 18, 2020 by 86 Schmokes & a Pancake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked 'Rush' and found 'Sienna' really haunting...but to me neither are about cars and car development really, more about the characters and human emotion. Irishman definitely on the list, but it's pretty long so need a decent run up at that and am watching Fargo series which is in easier bites. Bronx Tale, great film yep. Heard lot about 1917 and the style /format but still not sure I understand... Seems very hot on the heels of Dunkirk too but sure I will watch at some point.

BriggRam Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Watched “the prodigy” on Netflix yesterday.......one of the better horrors I’ve seen of late, a good story and a few jumpy and eerie scenes, I quite enjoyed it 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I've just watched 'the dirt" on Netflix which I thought was great. If you're fan of Motley Crue then it definitely helps but it didn't shy away from some of the darker parts. Brilliant watch though!

Comrade 86 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ok, so just watched Richard Jewell on a hunch. Directed by no lesser man than Clint himself, most of whose directorial output I've really liked, it's an absolute cracker of a movie. I'm a big Sam Rockwell fan which, Eastwood aside, I guess was the hook, but by Sam's standards, this was quite an understated performance and excellent in the circumstances. The real revelation was Paul Walter Hauser is is absolutely top-notch in the title role. Quite brilliant in fact. Anyways, absolutely loved the movie and can heartily recommend it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3513548/ Charlie George / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to look past the title though without thinking of PoRno Paul. He really was a Dick Jewell. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Red Dog - one for all the canine lovers on here which I keep forgetting to mention. A wonderful Ozzie flick about a red Kelpie (Ozzie sheepdog) who whilst not having a master, had more than fair his share of mates. A true story that both funny and heartwarming though it did leave me feeling a tad emotional and desperate to rescue a hound or two! Makes me smile every time I think of it now. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0803061/ Eranio / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Oceans Twelve. I really liked the first (remake) film so not sure why I missed this. Wish I had. Despite a great cast similar to the first one, this was a bizarre film. No real plot, no action, nothing. Just a few lame "jokes" and a confusing weak plot. I did pay attention but just could not follow what was going on. 2/10 for the cast. Edited February 2, 2020 by TimRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
