Tazio Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) The Harder They Fall on Netflix. Enjoyable and pretty violent modern take on classic westerns. All the usual tropes are there and some good set pieces and fights. An outlaw searches for and finds the man who killed his parents. The twist is that it is an almost entirely black cast paying homage to the fact there were lots of black cowboys and gunfighters who have been written out of history in most westerns. A solid 7/10 for me. The usual Netflix thing that it is maybe a bit long at over 2 hours. Edited November 13, 2021 by Tazio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Magic Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Started watching “Once Upon A Time In America” again. Haven’t watched it in a while and it’s free on Netflix. Its epic. Very long and released in 2 parts. Managed about an hour n half last night and will finish off tonight. Film follows the criminal careers of a group of New York street kids from their early street thefts all the way through prohibition to organised and often very violent gang warfare. It jumps about 3 different time lines as well so can be a difficult watch the first time. It actually deserves to be watched a couple of times straight away. De Niro, Pesci, Woods, McGovern. Stellar cast. Its over 3 hours long in total but trust me it’s worth it. Immerse yourself in Sergio Leones epic tale of New York gangsters. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to Odeon Westerhails staff who dressed up as characters from Ghostbusters. My youngest is 6 and I too was a bit concerned but she coped well. They both loved it. There is enough nostalgia in it for us oldies but with the kids being the lead characters, youngsters will buy into it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The Suicide Squad. So much better than the similarly titled mess from a few years ago. A rare example of DC getting the right blend of humour and action. Also surprised to see that Michael Rooker and Taika Watiti had small parts in it as they are Marvel Universe people. Sylvester Stallone good in it as well, when you work out who he is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut (Apple TV) so during lockdown Stallone decided to recut the 80’s classic cheesefest and what a job he’s done. 40 minutes of new material replacing the cheese (Paulies robot etc all removed). It’s grittier with Drago more human showing his personality more. Completely different film and just superb. Still has the iconic training montages but done a lot better. Fantastic job £8.99 to buy but available to rent from 10th Dec. In 4K etc Edited November 27, 2021 by 1971fozzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
