Excellent, thanks for that. Fire alarm went off 45 minutes in when I saw this at silverburn and it was going to be an hour before it started back, so we went home. Ya fanny- that was a plot twist in the film and all cinemas had to follow the ‘fire alarm’ bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Destroyer (1943) WWII flag-waver starring Edward G Robinson as Steve "boley" Boleslavski, a retired US Navy officer now working in shipyards. On hearing that his old battleship, the John Paul Jones has been sunk by the Japanese, a new one is commissioned, built & Boley pleads to serve in the Navy again. Desperate to prove himself, he is back on board where he starts annoying the young crew with his over enthusiasm & old school ways. Glenn Ford & Edward G clash as they compete for each other's Navy rank & also Boley's daughter. A great movie, it may well leave you with a tear in your eye. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Ad AstraGenuinely one of the dullest movies I’ve ever watched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Roman Holiday Been meaning to watch some old classics and this seemed the light hearted thing I needed last night. Some creepiness by today's standards, but what a film otherwise! Not really much to say specifically, it just has that feel and quality that bona fide classics have. Some really rough editing loses a couple of marks, and I hate rating them anyway, but 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that could just mean that she was expecting it to be the worst accent of all time, and it was only the second worst (after Dick Van Dyke). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If I haven't said so before, and I probably have, I'll say it again - I really like the film Office Space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Alpha: The Right to Kill A propaganda piece backing the Duterte war on drugs in the Philiphines. You can almost feel the boot on the director's neck as he films the documentary style film about a raid on a drug baron where money goes missing. It's well shot but left a foul taste in my mouth. 4/10 Edited August 5, 2020 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Out Of Sight (1998) I've been revisiting a lot films of recently - particularly stuff from the 80s and 90s and was pleased to see this pop up on Netflix again. At the time of release lots was made of the chemistry between Clooney and Lopez and tbh along with Soderbergh's whole visual style they make it an incredibly watchable. It's just a great film. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's decent. Have you seen Extract made by the same director, set in a flavour extract bottling plant with Jason Bateman? That's enjoyable also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, that leaves plenty of scope to judge you for having done such. Feel my scorn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The Vanishing - Peter Mullan , Connor Swindles & Gerard Buttler as three lighthouse keepers in a thriller loosely based ( and I mean very loosely) on The Flannan Lighthouse mystery. Reminded me of shallow grave . Peter Mullen is usually pretty good an he doesn't disappoint in this , Buttler provides good support as does Swindells . Not sure why decided to change the original name from The Keepers as that would have made more sense I'd say . 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Commando 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a mass murderer who is out to reclaim his kidnapped daughter. 35 years old and still brilliant. A genuine classic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Barbarian Queen 2: The Empress Strikes Back Laughably mixture of a low budget softcore porn with sub Xena production standards, yet actually attempts to tell a story rather than just be breasts non-stop. However, there's a character built up to be the replacement Queen who is perhaps one of the most annoying actresses I've ever come across. Every time she talks its nails on a chalkboard. 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 War of The Worlds (2005) Decent enough, great action & special effects. The ending is a bit sugary but a big part of this adaptation was about a dysfunctional dad connecting with his kids. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
