Steve How Hard? Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The Great Gatsby (2013) Before watching this I had no idea what it was about my expectations of it were far removed from the actual film itself. I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I'm intrigued to watch the original now to see how it compares. Has anyone seen both and if so how do they stack up? 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The Conjuring I like horror films but never got into this series ( and spin offs) so thought I would give it a go as its so huge. What surprised me was how unsurprising it was! Virtually every cliché in the book. Unoriginal and fairly so so. Good cast.. well directed, so I have seen a lot worse, just don't get what sets it apart from so many other films. 6/10 The Red Turtle Beautifully simplistically drawn. Basic story is of a man stranded on a desert island, with lots of space to explore deeper meaning. No dialogue but you really don't notice. Have to be in the mood to relax and reflect on life. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange but it is a lot shorter than most Bond films. Would have been better if they could have extended it. Daniel Craig really has made this role his own and will be missed after the next one which is his last. 7.5/10 Of all the Craig 'Bond films', this was the one I was happy was the shortest, and was probably still too long. It was supposed to answer the questions from the end of Casino Royale. Instead it set up a lot of new situations and asked more questions, did not answer any of the ones from Casino Royale, and the conclusion was poor and dissatisfying. The newest Bond should be good though, as the newest 4 have had a pattern of good, poor, good, poor so far. DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Gemini Man: Will Smith as assassin wanting to retire, but becomes the target for an assassin that is a clone of him.

Only made it through as the remote was just out of reach and was too hot to move. Laughably bad acting throughout, terrible dialogue and sound mixing, terrible lighting, stupid 'plot', poorly directed camera work... just crap in every single way. On a scale of Gianfranco Labarthe Tome to Benny Feilhaber this was a Bob Malcolm. I agree with every word you said. Plus I really hate musicals of any sort and refuse to watch Pop Idol, The Voice, BGT. However on Sat, I was pretty drunk so on returning from the pub still high from the undeserved late equaliser.... I agreed to watch it with the missus. It was unremittingly terrible. But you know what. I quite enjoyed it. As a homage to the cheese, pomp and sheer unbridled naffness of Eurovision it hit the spot. If you can put aside the sheer terribleness of it, its good fun. If you are drunk, and willing to just go with it...its the best a Will Ferrell playful skit on Eurovision was ever going to be.

Alph Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I always think of Will Smith as the coolest guy and a very good actor. But @DarkFruitsRam7 and @Mostyn6mentioning Hitch and Gemini Man and I've seen Suicide Squad and Bright myself ... is Will Smith a bit crap? ?

Mostyn6 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I did rewatch Fallen (prime) at the weekend, two of my favourite actors (Denzel Washington and John Goodman) make it a classic, along with great cameos from James Gandolfini and Donald Sutherland! This film is easily one of my favourites. Poom/10 *Poom is probably my favourite player ever. ramit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had said "Percy gets more..." then I could have said "No, it's Percy Wetmore". That apart, he is brilliant as Billy Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 If anyone ever comes across a verison of Pan's Labyrinth that's dubbed into English, please let me know. As far as I can see, there isn't one available. I love that film and am 100% certain Mrs Wolfie would too, but she flatly rejects anything subtitled.
