DA Baracus Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 99 Houses Was on Film4 last night. Michael Shannon, Andrew Garfield and a MILFY Laura Dern star. Set against the backdrop of the housing crash in 2010, a big b*****d US Realtor (Shannon) evicts a guy (Garfield), his son and his mum (Dern) despite their attempts to stop it in court. They're forced to live at a shitty motel where other folk who've faced the same thing stay. The guy ends up working for the man who evicted him and is drawn in to a shady world of real estate where Shannon's character tried to provide justification for what they do, usually in cash form. Garfield's character soon starts doubting it all, but the money he's making offsets his conscience. Things threaten to unravel as he questions wether he's becoming like Shannon's character, and if so is it worth it. Very good film that has great performances. Definitely seek it out. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Dr Stranglove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb I've watched this several times before and it's a film I come back to every couple of years. An absolute masterpiece with virtuoso performances from both Peter Sellers and George C Scott. 10/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Watched IT in the cinema at weekend having not read the book or seen the original and wasn't overly impressed. Wouldn't recommend it for anyone who hasn't read the book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_bairn Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Guardians 2. 9/10. Loved it. Had good laughs and some serious feels. Story was good but surprised it didn't overlap into the other Marvel characters universe at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Kingsman 2: the golden circleEnjoyable movie anyway, not as good as the original (what is these days?) but a good couple of laughs and a fun role from Elton John. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Mother. 1/10 Avent Garde pish. Had to use Google to find out what the pretext to was (biblical-apparently). An ego trip for the stars, whos house I certainly wouldn't rush round to after sitting through that. A film you genuinely sit through thinking "what the fcuk is this all about?". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Wonder Woman. Some ropey as f**k CGI here, but was enjoyable. The big boss fight with Ares was utter w**k though and let it down for me. Shame as most of what came before it was good. Will have to go 6.5 out of 10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I won't go low for mother! because it was at the very least an interesting watch. Daft as f**k in the second half, but remained in the "I can't take my eyes off this" side of things, so whatever it was doing seemed to work. Plus, the creepy subdued thriller that took up much of the movie initially was far too good to dismiss. I'd loved to have seen a movie playing out just that story. Can't really rate it as I have no fucking idea where it lands in that sense. I know I won't be watching it again though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts off reasonably run of the mill then it just descends into a farce. Your jaw literally hits your chest. All stylishly and arty fartily done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually prepared for it now from what I have heard and have watched some amount of crazy films before so i'm sure i won't be as shocked as she was sadly! She just went into cinema expecting a regular horror film and came home quite visibly disturbed by what she had seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Mother! Is definitely worth a watch. I liked it but one of my pals who has seen it says it's the worst film he's ever seen. Swings and roundabouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Power Rangers (2017) [DVD] 3/10 - It's a pretty poor film in general made worse by so many changes from the original story. Silent Running [DVD] 6/10 - I liked the idea of the plot but the way the film portrayed it felt a bit unbalanced. Think I'll enjoy it more rewatching it at some point, knowing what to expect.
