welshbairn Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Anyone seen Manos? Tempted to go tonight but it sounds a bit grim, bunch of Colombian kids go mad in the jungle with AK47s, sounds a bit Lord of the Flies. It's won loads of awards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Cruising Al Pacino plays an undercover cop hunting a serial killer in New York's leather fetish gay scene. It's pretty sordid. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Went to see a film called Monos which was set in the South American jungle. Initially I was not sure what was going on but after twenty minutes or so it does become obvious and it was actually a really good film.

Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Arctic with the wonderful Mads Mikkelsen. Standard survival fare but beautifully presented and MM just rules. 7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Le mans 66, Ford Vs Ferrari 8/10 Very interesting film focusing mainly on getting a car fast enough to beat Ferrari and the problems they faced from within Ford. I felt the accents were a bit off especially Shelby's. Some of the filming especially of the driving scenes is sublime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Ford v Ferrari - 7/10 Pretty decent movie, from everything I have read of Ken Miles I thought Bale nailed it. As with most "True Life Hollywood stories", there are a number of elements which are either are a slight bend on the truth of just flat out did not happen (For instance, Enzio Ferrari didn't actually attend the race) while Leo Beebe was nowhere near the complete and utter arsehole he was portrayed in the movie. The racer geek in me had more than a few issues with the racing sequences (slight spoiler so added below) Spoiler For instance, when you come round the banking of Daytona and onto the main start finish line you should already be in top gear maxing out the top speed of the car.......so for Miles to grab another gear and pass the other Ford GT to win the race is just utter bullshit. As far as I know, the GT40 did not have a 32 speed gearbox. Oh, and Ken Miles actually raced for Ford in the 65 LeMans race....with Bruce McLaren. Overall a good movie but for a racing geek, there are flaws. The Steve McQueen 'LeMans' still remains the definitive racing movie.

welshbairn Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Just watching Ronin for the first time in ages, although clumsy and a bit daft in places I'd put it in my top 5 thrillers. Includes an early role for Sean Bean playing a twat, which set up his career. And Robert de Niro doing his learner driver acting in the chase scene. 8/10. ITV4 P.S. Dragged out way too long, 7/10.

Drew Brees Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Didn't know they'd now made a film. Is this on at cinema or did you watch it on TV?They made the film before the tv series 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The KingReally enjoyed this on Netflix tonight. Starts off slow but builds fantastically towards a great battle. It was nice to see it portrayed as a dirty fight as was prob more accurate as opposed to the Hollywood swordfight in some big films! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pissed off because it sounds like the kind of film that would be much more powerful in the cinema. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
