Just that she's such a stubborn bugger & is missing out on one of the best films out there. Start watching only subtitled films, start with City of God (Brazilian) and Old boy (korean orig). That’ll learn her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Not seen an old Hammer film for years so watched Scars of Dracula the other night. They must have been cut when I watched them as a kid as I don't recall so much blood and gore! Sir Christopher Lee is his usual excellent self. Apart from a cheap looking bat (try not to laugh), it's decent. 7/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I really must watch that again. I watched it years ago when it was first released and can remember very little about it. I know I've seen various comments about it being really good.

Stagtime Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Ghosts of the Civil Dead from the late 80's. Music by and starring Nick Cave. One of those films that are really hard to watch but you can't turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a few years since I watched it, but it really left a mark on me. Its beautifully filmed. There is an amazing, gripping historical story in there which is also incredibly unsettling. Alongside it there is this strange adult's fairy tale. I can see how some people would just say its weird but it's like some gothic, horror, nightmare...that actually is also just a simple, very dramatic story that is easy to follow.

One of my biggest bugbears is that there are tv channels that refuse to enable the selection of subtitles on films and documentaries they broadcast - and that's a policy decision.

Tamworthram Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Watched "Vacation" on Friday and really enjoyed it. Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite following the comments I've made about a couple of other low brow films and TV shows but I thought it was funny. 7/10. Then watched the "Burn after reading" on Saturday. Even better. 8/10. Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Misery - James Caan is a writer held captive by psycho superfan Kathy Bates. Superb acting from the pair and well directed by Rob Reiner. Ciccio Baiano/10. TimRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Pan's Labyrinth a particular old favourite of mine. It's as wonderfully crafted a film as you could wish to see. I'd recommend it to anyone to be honest. Wolfie and ramit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Judge Dredd from 1995 - Seen this a couple of times and it's still good. Very "comic book" like! 8.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it too, when I saw it few months back. I had very low expectations, being a big fan of the Chevy Chase version and having read some awful reviews when it was released but I laughed consistently throughout. Great car!. Just checked it out on IMDB and a score of 6.1 is pretty solid for a comedy, to be honest. 7/10 from me too. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Ad Astra, this weeks new premiere on Sky. Simple story, nice visuals, but kept waiting for something to happen until the end when it kinda fizzled out with a predictable message. An underwhelming 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Objectively this isn't a very good film. The acting is kind of clunky, the direction is all over the place and some scenes simply don't make sense. But it's giant dinosaurs running around eating each other and eating people which I love. I will never not love dinosaurs. 8/10 Mostyn6 and TimRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga i am not a Will Ferrell fan, but am considering changing my mind. Every Icelander has seen this film, oh yes, each and every one, now that my wife, son and i, the last 3 in line have seen it too. It was silly, cheesy, Hollywood formulaic, soppy, emotionally manipulative, got all the Icelandic names wrong and i loved it. i give it 3 &1/2 stars for entertainment value and 4&1/2 handkerchiefs for sentimental value. Pierce Brosnan arrived early and in style, having driven a rental car the scenic route from Reykjavík to Húsavík, situated in the far north of the country. Cheers Pierce.

Eddie Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The Truman Show. I have probably seen this masterpiece a dozen times, and it's still simply wonderful. 10/10 - one of my 3 or 4 all-time favourites.
