Sith Happens Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 17 minutes ago, TimRam said: For me A New Hope was ruined by the added cgi. I actually have a dvd of the original version. Much better. Return of the Jedi has not aged well at all though. The added scenes were fun at the time, but absolutely don't add anything and look out of place in Star Wars (cant call it a new hope). Think those in Empire dont look out of place but it was a lovely looking movie anyway. ROTJ i love but yeah having a load of teddy bears involved was never going to allow it go age well, the final duel between Luke and Vader is still superb though IMO. Quite why Hayden Christensen had to be inserted at the end who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I always thought Yodas voice should have been different rather than talking like Fozzy Bear (Frank Oz)! Edited June 2, 2020 by TimRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not generally into slapstick and only watched K1. I wasn’t sufficiently entertained, amused or impressed to bother with K2. To be honest though, I’m not a fan of either Johnny English or the later James Bond films. All a question of personal taste. No one is right nor is anyone wrong. On Friday I watched Kill Bill 1 (again). Provided you don’t take it remotely serious then IMO, a good film. As is KB2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I was watching Ice Cold in Alex but unfortunately I had to run out to puke just as it was getting interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The Truman Show. One of my favourite films and truly underrated. Igor/10 for me. Tamworthram and JoetheRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection of that film is that it never gets interesting. It's hot, they go for a drive, they get where they are going. sage and Comrade 86 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Pixels. If you are a fan of retro arcade gaming this is good fun! 7/10. Edited June 7, 2020 by TimRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor_111 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 A brilliant documentary I watched the other day was Icarus. All about the Russian doping scandal. Starts off as one thing but ends up being something completely different. As someone said on another thread, I couldn't get on with The Last Dance. Icarus blows that out of the water for me. Check it out - utterly riveting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 21 and 22 Jump Street. Both quite funny and entertaining. Neither of them worldbeaters. Johnny Russell / 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 The Martian - first hour and a half is good then it feels like it drags a bit. Probably like going to Mars to be fair. Matt Oakley. The Pursuit of Happyness - 7/10 - based on a true story, Will Smith plays a guy who struggles against the odds to land a job as a Stock Broker. Johnny Russell. Dirty Grandpa - as a film this is probably one of the worst I've ever seen. Complete trash. But it was somehow enjoyable to see. Theo Robinson.

Sith Happens Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 it feels a long time since I really enjoyed a movie, I think I convince myself I enjoyed it because of the lack of available options right now. watched lovebirds, Netflix, last night..a proper meh film.

Wolfie Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Scary stories to tell in the dark (Prime) Produced by Guillermo del Toro (my favourite Director) and about a group of kids who find a book in a scary house on Halloween, which then starts to write stories itself - and they come true. Intelligently done with good suspense & chilling in places. Good characters too. Solid 7/10 Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
