Beat me to it!

I’m gonna watch this tonight, two 10/10

a classic

[Madjambo21]

You cannot kill David Arquette 

 

Mental documentary following Arquette getting back into the world of wrestling (never knew he was in WCW in 2000ish)

 

Not something I'd normally watch but it shows what an emotional guy he is from his family life, alcoholism and faltering career.

 

Not a big wrestling fan but 7/10 for me.

 

 

[Carl Fredrickson]

Compliance

 

A 2012 film that I missed. A spoof phone call to a fast food joint sets in motion one of the staff being accused of theft. The "cop" on the line is manipulative and gets people to impose authority on the accused. 

 

I found it quite disturbing and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it very frightening..  8/10

[jim747]

The Man with the Iron Heart 7/10, another on Netflix, about the assassination of Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich.

[luckyBatistuta]

Fantasy Island

 

thought it would be dross

 

it was😞

[luckyBatistuta]

Villain...Craig Fairbrass

 

5/10

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The Business, few years old typical gangsters in Spain thingy with Danny Geezer Dyer. Cracking 80's soundtrack.

 

Blue Story, about black gang life in London fighting simply because they lived in different postcodes. Wasn't too bad and didn't do down the expected excuse route of being in a gang due to lack of opportunities etc.

21 Bridges

 

Bought and re watched this in light of Chadwick Boseman's death, RIP, incredible to think he was acting his socks of so Ill. I think I was unkind to it, it's nice to look at and he's brilliant. So it's not Oscar worthy or anything particularly new it does the job and certainly beats some of the stuff that's in cinemas at the moment

 

6/10

[Furious Styles]

Summer of 84. 6/10

 

i watched this on shudder. 
4 boys become convinced their neighbour , a cop, is a serial killer. 
It has a stranger things vibe going on. Massive tonal shift in the last 20 minutes though. 
 

 

[Furious Styles]

Ready or not. 8/10 

 

I watched this on now tv. 
 

A bride plays a terrifying game of hide and seek on her wedding night with her new family. 
Very funny, dark horror. 

[Furious Styles]

Villain.  6/10

 

Now tv again. 
 

Craig fairbrass plays a recently released convict returning to his old ways. 
Surprisingly it’s actually pretty decent. 

[rudi must stay]

Venom

 

Ending was just a mess, a shame the first half was fine

 

6/10

[Muppetboy]

Annihilation. Absolute nonsense. Don’t bother. 2/10

Didn’t mind Villain tbh. 6.5/10 for me. 
Fairbrass is quite a good cockney w***er gangster.

No, the back actually. 

[Ron Burgundy]

L'Immortale

 

Anyone who's watched Gommorrah would enjoy this IMO, it's a full length film of Ciro's upbringing and stuff. I will say no more as to not spoil it.

 

I loved it.

[Carl Fredrickson]

Watched a couple of classics yesterday - Glory  and The Shawshank Redemption. Both tremendous and whatever I watch tonight will not be as good. 

[rudi must stay]

John Wick

 

You know what I'll give it a 10. Easy to follow, funny, stylish at hell. A good find on Amazon Prime 

 

10/10

it’s brilliant. The 2 sequels are good shouts too

[rudi must stay]

Sonic The Hedgehog 

 

I had a brief moment to myself this morning, "it can't be that bad, I'll give it a shot" well it is that bad, that bad that I have no intention of finishing it. It's a shame because Sonic as a character is cool and there's a movie there. But not live action and not like this

 

2/10 and the second point is for Jim Carrey putting in not a bad shift as Robotnik

Part 3 is on Netflix. Brilliant! 

[rudi must stay]

Bill and Ted

 

Far better than I expected. Actually a pretty funny film I'd give it a 7/10

 

 

[Ray Gin]

Gangs of New York (Amazon Prime)

7.5/10

Not quite as good as I remember it being but still holds up pretty well. Day Lewis and Di Caprio both put in great performances.

There is an old Howard Stern ep on youtube with Arquette and Courtney Cox after she left him and he's trying to win her back but she she isn't having it because he's a womanizer, quite funny

[Dirkdiggler77]

Has anybody seen Berberian Sound Studio?

 

It's on 4od it's about this mild man (Toby Jones) who goes to Italy to do the sound effects for film (which turns out to be a giallo) and everyone around him is strange and there is a very sinister undertone

 

It's got a poor imdb score and not many forums about it but a few intellectual types love it and say it's awesome but majority don't like it because it ends ambiguously and it's very vague in what it was really all about

 

Personally i liked it even though i can't truly figure it out either, its very cryptic

 

If anyone has seen it and can break it down then fair play because there isn't much out there on it

Saw this at the cinema. A proper WTF film. I enjoyed it though.

[Tazio]

I watched Kingsmen The Golden Circle last night. It was a decent enough way to waste a couple of hours but based on it compared to the first one I hope they don’t make a 3rd as the law of diminishing returns say it will be a honker. 

[ri Alban]

State of play. Not bad. 

[AndyNic]

I'm Thinking of Ending Things.

 

Utter shite. 2/10.

Just ordered it

 

Not a horror fan but remember Mark Kermode rating this and Tobey Jones at that time. There's another good films where Jones plays Hitchcock filming the film the birds

Im a big Hitchcock fan. What film is Toby Jones in regarding Hitch?.  In the mid 1990s i went to see a " Screen by screen" talk at the Filmhouse where the actress Theresa Wright discussed  working with Hitch on his brilliant " Shadow of a doubt".  They played scenes from the film and she discussed her experiences with the audience. It was a great night. She was in her mid 70s by then and it was quite moving seeing her younger self on screen behind her.  She was probably mid 20s when she made it.

The Girl it's called. Sure you could find it online it's pretty good, especially if you are a Hitchcock fan

Oh ive seen it. ! lol.  Yeah it was quite good but people were slightly critical of the depiction of Hitch as predatory and cruel to Hedren i recall.

Resistance

 

Quite a forgettable film. Not awful but not great

 

5.5/10

Echo In The Canyon. Documentary with lots of concert footage made by Jakob Dylan about the LA music scene in the mid sixties. Great interviews with all the main players in the movement and top notch archive footage. Highly recommended if that type of thing interests you. 
currently available on amazon Prime for £1.99
