alwaysthereinspirit Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Saturday was raining here so was a two movie day. Dunkirk at the IMAX. Then Heartbreak Ridge Saturday night on cable. Liked both of them. Heartbreak Ridge was very gory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Fudge Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Open Range (2003) Costner and Duvall western. Costner shite or sugar for me normally. Not this time, and Duvall is always sugar. One of the most historically accurate Wild West style shoot outs to boot. Cheesy romantic angle not ideal, but probably necessary for the funding. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If you are into Horror then I recommend watching It Follows. A pretty good unique idea for a horror film. Watched it ages ago but seen it pop up on my FB feed recently saying it's been added to Netflix. Not really a horror fan bud. Spend most of my time peaking through my fingers [emoji85] King Arthur - Legend of the Sword 6/10 Thought it was ok but the accents were truly horrific. The Mummy 7/10 It's been slated but I thought it was alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Carrie Pilby 6/10 Had high hopes for this quirky US film but it fell away into a fairly standard romcom. It begins with a gifted girl who has done much at a very young age but struggles to conform with the adult norm expected of her. Bel Powley is excellent in the lead and one to watch.

Shanks said no Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Trespass against us 8/10 A real surprise and even the wife thought it was good. Brendan Gleeson and Michael Fassbender star in this British travelling people tale. 3 generations of the Cutler family lead a lawless life. Because of the strong accents I used subtitles and discovered a new word which earned the film an extra point, a gorgie. Which means a non travelling person, giving a whole new meaning to we are the Gorgie boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Dunkirk - discussed on the main thread.

Zico Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) I Am Not Your ***** - brilliant documentary on race relations in America, based on an unfinished book by James Baldwin. 9/10 (edit: starred out word is a term for a black person, but not the highly offensive one) The Girl On The Train - wasn't expecting much but it was actually decent, with a very good performance by Emily Blunt. 7/10 Edited August 24, 2017 by Zico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I watched John Wick 2 last night.

Shanks said no Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Fences 7/10 Wanted to switch off what felt like an African American kitchen (back garden) sink drama. Fortunately I kept it going and it was reasonably good. Stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. It does feel like a stage play though.

rudi must stay Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Detroit A superb film. Grips you from start to finish and there are some good character stories too. The acting couldn't be better and there one or two phenomenal performances. I think it's a modern classic 10/10 Edited September 1, 2017 by rudi must stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Soul Song - a sub-30 minute supernatural themed upon death. The writer/director was there for a Q&A afterwards and declared that you either liked it or didn't get it...there seemed to be no option for 'get it but just didn't think it was all that great' which would've got my vote.

Zico Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 A Ghost Story - very good existential drama with Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara about someone who dies and watches his girlfriend's life as a ghost. Was very slow at the start and thought I'd hate it but it was really interesting. 8/10 Detroit - Powerful stuff. I thought the tension in the hotel scenes was extremely well done as were the cuts to actual footage during the riots. I found the court scenes were rushed however and the end a bit disjointed. 7/10. The Gambler - the original James Caan version. And he was superb in it as was Paul Sorvino. The best film I've seen about gambling. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Mindhorn 7/10 Decent British comedy with Steve Coogan as one of the producers and he has a supporting part as well.

hughesie27 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It 2017 Pretty decent attempt at "modernizing" the original. It wasn't nearly as scary as I expected it to be but it is a lot darker than the original. Reckon it's probably closer to the book too.

iantjambo Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Pearl Harbour 2/10 One of those movies that I wasn't going to watch due to hearing negative reviews, but there was nothing else on so I thought **** it. Shouldn't have bothered. Absolutely honking. Shite acting with zero chemistry between the characters and don't get me started on Kate Beckinsale's characters principles. Movie starts where she's pumping the love of her life, he toddles off to war and gets shot down and is considered KIA so she starts pumping his best mate and falls pregnant to him, then he gets KIA and so she starts pumping the original guy again (he wasn't killed after all). Utter shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not your standard Hollywood "lets go USA" film and tries to deal with the effects of PTSD and a war that the soldiers didn't win but others profited from.
