pittsburgh phil Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Commando is fucking brilliant. A glorious slice of ludicrous nonsense. It's genuinely one of my favourite films. Even the opening credits had me chuckling, what with the shots of Matrix's biceps that cuts to a shot of him and his daughter feeding a deer. An excellent juxtaposition that lets you know this promises to be astonishing. Him smelling the enemy on the wind is an early indication of the glory to come. Colonel John Matrix is a great name for a character by the way. One thing I've always wondered though; where did Bennett get those fucking goons from? They're all wee shitey pussies, especially Sully. Matrix sniffing the wind is glorious film making, right there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Remember Sully when I promised I'll kill you last? That's right Matrix, you did, you promised! I lied... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellinwigan Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The Disaster Artist (cinema) 8/10 Really good film about the making of The Room. Really funny in places and the Franco's got the characters spot on. Felt a bit sorry for Tommy watching this does seem a bit mentally not there which is a bit sad. But yes good film 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Bennet is hugely camp, which makes just the film all the better. "It sounds like you fear this Matrix!"

And why shouldn't a highly trained black ops marine choose to channel his inner Mercury, bizarre chain mail vest and all?

Bennett has now lost confidence in General Arius. I can only see this going one way, with Bennett screaming bizarre threats before being impaled by a massive section of industrial heating pipe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The Mountain Between Us. Idris Elba and Kate Winslet take a last minute plane piloted by Beau Bridges which of course crashes in the snowy montains in the middle of nowhere. Cliched and all fairly predictable stuff.........5/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
