The Danish Girl should be eternally grateful for Bohemian Rhapsody as until the moment BR came out the Danish Girl was the biggest pile of cimematic excrement there has ever been (imo).  It is now the second.

Yup, all the sheep would have left the cinema and went right on to spotify.  Can't wait to go through it all again with 'Rocket Man'

 

 

 

Wouldn't be suprise if people dress up for that.

 

Could be some screenings of Mamma Mia all over again

Great movie and banging theme tune, the sequel takes the cheese factor to a whole new level?

Yeah, obviously I do.

 

Soundtrack is good, especially because it plays a George Harrison track which is always nice.

 

The BR hype leaves me incredulous.  I genuinely believe people are just telling themselves they liked it due to the fact it is Queen.  When it came out people were competing to see who liked it more as if a case of keeping up with the Joneses.  It is social media I tell you, hyped it up and the humanbots just nod acceptingly.

 

I know I am a miserable ******* but the film was diabolically bad.  It was a complete cringefest from them clapping to we will rock you in the studio, to Freddie talking about Live Aid (pre concert) to them sitting in the studio with the record exec.

If I was to rate Bohemian Rhapsody out of a trillion I’d give it 5.

 

 

 

I constantly go on about the sheep culture...oh, this movie is amazing’, oh yes, isn’t it just fantastic, when it’s just a totally bang average movie experience. It’s also the same with things like restaurants...oh, this restaurant is to die for, oh yes, it’s my favourite, just fabulous...nauseating stuff at times, etc. I feel that way about movies like Trainspotting and Reservoir Dogs, two seriously overrated films imo. I’m not a big Queen fan and never have been, but i do like some of their music. I might not have enjoyed the film as much, if it hadn’t been for the soundtrack, but as a whole, I enjoyed it. I was impressed with the portrayal of Freddie by Rami, as I think Freddie was a bit of a quirky extrovert type character.

Excuse me? Reservoir Dogs is brilliant, as is most of Tarantinos work. Pulp Fiction however, now there is an overrated film. Watched it once, have no intention to do so again although some clips do get the YouTube treatment now and then. 

 

Agree pretty much word for word with your summary of Bohemian Rhapsody though for whatever that's worth

Tarantino's ridiculously over rated for me, he goes out of his way to shock and to show how clever he is but his dialogue's generally awful and unnatural, and his story lines are very one dimensional. Irvine Welsh is the same, popular beyond his abilities IMO.

Tag - 7/10 decent comedy film that is based on a true story

THIS in spades. I will however give the exception of Pulp Fiction which I think is a really good film. As for Irvine Welsh, since when was "Aye, ah ken ya radg" and "I glessed the *****" literature?

Stan and Ollie. 7.5/10, both leads very good.

I8's film critiquing is a bit like his Hearts analysis.

 

Good fellas is an amazing film and stands the test of time perfectly.

 

I agree about Malik. I didn't like his performance and thought the guy who played Brian May was way better than him.

 

Anyway I digress. Watched Stan and Ollie yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. 7/10 and the acting by both leads was superp IMO.

Alita Battle Angel. Don't know what to make of it, visually very good but the story was a bit all over the place and it was a poor ending. 7/10.

captain marvel 8/10

 

it had the feel of a guardians of the galaxy/thor ragnarok film

Goodfellas is shite :bolt:

 

 

 

Thought Rami Malek put in a fantastic performance as Freddie too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I put it on a couple of weeks ago and turned it off. Loved back in the 90s. Now, well...

Goodfellas – Not seen it in about 20 years, nostalgia makes me like it but in reality it is actually a pretty shite film imo.  So overrated.

The Changeling (1980)

 

8/10

 

Not seen this one in years, still freaks me out though.

 

Really good psychological horror, that’s aged pretty well.

The Dirt. 10/10. If you’re a Motley fan you’ll love it. By way of contrast Rise of the Krays. Right up there with the very worst films Ive ever seen. Terrible

Just a heads up that Under The Skin is on Film 4 tonight at 11.25pm.

 

While it does have some competition, even with Scarlett Johansson naked at various times it's the worst film I've ever seen.

 

0/10

Get Out. Watched this on Netflix as I was thinking of going to see Us tomorrow. Another good watch which has encouraged me to go to see Us. 7/10

Don't be fooled. Us was average at best. A great build up but a disappointing finale.

Still go and see it. It has some great moments. I just felt let down with the 2nd half. 

I do like the films Jordan peele is doing though. A different take on the horror genre.

The book is brilliant. Would recommend. One of the most honest books about a rock band I've ever read

Not a huge fan of horror but Get Out felt like a Hitchcock movie. Will give Us a go (might be Monday before I get to see it) as i liked the way Get Out was done.

Dragged over Concrete. Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn play two suspended cops that receive a tip off about a heist and decide to take it down themselves. Great understated performances from Gibson and Vaughn 9/10

Watched Clint Eastwood in The Mule last night. It’s a slow film that never picks up the pace, but it does have some funny moments. I thought it was alright, nothing really great about it. 

7/10

Was between this, Laurel and Hardy and the film above last night. Sounds like I might have made the wrong choice.

Its more dialogue driven rather than all out action and has a quirky feel to it .Directed by the same guy that did Bone Tomahawk

Plan to watch this tonight. Was between that and the Mule but reviews above would suggest this is the one to go with.

The Highwayman on Netflix. Kevin Costner and Woody Harlson play two former Texas Rangers who are tasked with trying to stop Bonny & Clyde. Very good film which I enjoyed a lot 9/10

 

Ideal Home - Steve Coogan and Paul Rudd are a not so happy couple but the unexpected arrival of Coogans grandson to stay with them changes things. Not worth the time to watch  2/10

 

Going to see Dumbo today - will report back later

Dumbo. Watched it with the kids today and it was spectacular (might not be that if I were to watch it on my own). 9/10

Really liked it when it came out in cinema.

Didn't know the plot and thought it was a romantic film.

Was pleased with the twist, Mrs wasn't to keen though

Did like the pen in the throat part even if it is a bit silly.

Seen a few Cillian Murphy films now and never disappointed at his performance.

Really enjoyed Sunshine and his current show Peaky Blinders

Do like a good sci-fi movie.

Event horizon 

Not seen it in a while but still enjoyed it.

Sci-fi horror.

Good cast in it including Sam Neil, Lawrence fishburne, Sean pertwee.

7.5/10

Sweet Country....Hard watch at times.

Amazing to think of the injustice and prejudice the Aborigine suffered and no doubt still do.

Thought provoking story,great acting and beautifully shot movie.9/10.

Pandora, a South Korean disaster movie at a Nuclear plant. Watched this before, but after posting it on the Chernobyl thread, got to recommend it on here. Going to watch it again now

Can’t remember if I’ve posted it and a score on this thread before, but a great movie.

 

8.5/10

Sorry for taking so long to answer buddy. It is, but honestly it’s well worth sticking with it. Another belter of a film from South Korea is Last Train from Busan, subtitled as well though. It’s about a virus that starts spreading that turns people in to zombies. It’s not your normal zombies though, these move fast as ####, it’s brilliant. The Koreans do tend to overact a bit, but I really enjoy them. Hope you give it a watch.
