When it came out I saw a midnight showing of it at multiplex at Dundee (dont ask). Havent seen it in years and struggling for films to watch with him but good old Netflx won me brownie points tonight. I recently told my son about the Friday night Blockbusters experience. Going in on the way home from work expecting the latest "blockbuster" release but ending up with some second or third rate film that you wouldnt watch today on streaming services. Quote
Ray Gin Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Ghostbusters Afterlife 7/10 An enjoyably silly blast of nostalgia. Quote

Shanks said no Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 How I fell in love with a gangster 8/10 The life and times of Nikos (Nikodem Skotarczak), notorious Polish gangster. Gave it a couple of extra points for being about a Eastern bloc bloke who bought a football club, Lechia Gdansk. Probably give it a 2nd viewing as there were quite a few WTF moments but recommend if you are into gangster films. Netflix Quote
Vlad Magic Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 Pig Nicolas Cage. Hyped by the media so thought I pull catch it on Sky Premier tonight. Wish I hadn’t. Its rubbish. Should be called Turkey and not Pig. Quote
Harry Potter Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 The Hole, 2001 i think, Netflix, quite scary and a good twist in the story, 7/10. Quote

1971fozzy Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 The Father - Amazon Prime Anthony Hopkins plays a father with dementia. Also starts Olivia Coleman as his daughter. A very hard film to watch especially if you have been affected by this. im sure it won Oscar’s and little wonder. Outstanding performances. 9/10 Quote

ManxandCapeTownJambo Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Just watched the old John Mills Great Expectations again Superb film So many great character actors in those days Quote
GinRummy Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Munich - The Edge of War (Netflix) Excellent film about Neville Chamberlain (Jeremy Irons) and The Munich Agreement where European leaders met in 1939 to discuss German advances into Czechoslovakian territory. The agreement led to the delay of WW2 starting. 8/10 Quote

Canscot Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 New Ghostbusters movie. Only watched it because it was filmed within an hour of where I live. Crap!😂 Quote
Ked Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Redemption of a Rogue. Just so good. A soundtrack that's worth the watch alone. Class Quote

Carl Fredrickson Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Belfast 9/10 Best film of the year so far..... Very well shot and the humour mixed well with an otherwise hard story. Quote
1971fozzy Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Dune (2021) wow. A masterpiece, can’t wait for part 2. Great cast and he sound was awesome 10/10 Quote
Carl Fredrickson Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Nightmare Alley Loved this even if it was a bit predictable. 8/10 Quote
Vlad Magic Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 In The Name of the Father. Absolutely brilliant. DDL just doesn’t pick bad films or put on a performance anything other than amazing. He’s managed this through out his career and this is an early indication he f his ability and film choice. Supported by an equally brilliant Pete Postlethwaite it’s all about the Guildford 4. Its an acting masterclass. 10/10 Quote

Francis Albert Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Seconding a couple of recent recommendations. The Father. Not a huge fan of Hopkins but he is brilliant. The confusions and twists have you wondering about your own sanity. Belfast. Some might find it a tad sentimental bit it is Branaghs tribute to his childhood home town. Told from a protestant families perspective and illustrates how that side of the religious divide were as much the victims of their own fanatics as those of the other side.oving and a great soundtrack.

milky_26 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 the eternals 6.5/10. i see what they were trying and some of it was good. however i felt it would probably worked better as a tv series. it also reminded me so much of the cancelled netflix show jupiters legacy Quote
Malinga the Swinga Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Hitman's Wife Bodyguard. I enjoyed it so 9/10. Yes it is daft but sometimes you just want to relax and have a laugh. Quote
Pans Jambo Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Gold 2 blokes in a pick-up in what looks like the remote desert of the Oz outback, find a mahoosive nugget of gold. One fecks off the get an excavator leaving the other one with some water and a minimal amount of food to guard their find. Sounds shit but I found it extremely interesting and horrific at the end. 8/10 Quote

Carl Fredrickson Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Beauty & The Beast (1991) at the Odeon yesterday. The Odeon will often have older films for a single screening, which I love as I missed a lot of films on the big screen. My kids and I have went to see older Star Wars films, Jaws, Muppets etc and the latest one is a film that I dont think I have ever watched all the way through, despite it being one of my daughters favourites. It was well worth going to see as my daughters face was glowing with joy. 8/10 Quote
Ron Burgundy Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Belfast - enjoyed it but felt it ended rather quickly. The Requin - Wow, just wow. Not a good wow. The special effects were a highlight. Not a good highlight. I stuck with it for longer than I should just to see how bad this could actually get. Avoid. Both on IPTV. Quote
Carl Fredrickson Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Moonfall @ the Odeon. The latest disaster blockbuster. This one is so bad it is good. Terribly bad. Loads of storylines, awful lines, outrageous storyline, more plot holes than any film I can think of but I couldnt look away from the screen. It should be a 4 or a 5 out of 10 but for it being totally mental, I will give it a 7. Quote
