tongue_tied_danny Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Joy Ride A pair of arseholes are driving across the USA in an old car. They reckon it's a good idea to rip the pish out of a truck driver over their CB radio. Unfortunately the trucker is an unhinged psycho who soon tracks them down and puts them through a bit of an ordeal to say the least. It's a trashy b-movie but it was entertaining enough. 7/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sight of him flailing his fat flabby arms up a hill in his workout montage, the unusually graphic violence, and the incredible one liners which he absolutely pulls off with no conviction at all. 90s classic. Since he fled America for sex crimes his movies have only went one way and it's not up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool cue fight in which the Asian one is obviously obliged to snap his in half to form a pair of nunchucks. Also, no Seagal fight is complete without some form of snapped limb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Greenland I was hoping for a Gerard Butler fronted destruction fest from this, and we did get some of that tbh, but it was more of a cross country survival road thriller. Which actually wasn't too bad in fairness. Well... Butler yet again trying a US accent which was more Scottish was as bad as ever. You'd think he'd just chuck it in, but as always he goes fully into the role and after a while I just didn't notice. I think that was what helped things along more than anything. The cast were incredible. There's an amazing supporting cast during the opening evacuation scenes as well. It's a perfectly fine action movie. 6/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there was good storylines & social commentary through the movie, it wasn't just all about the zombies. Seems a sequel has been made, called 'Peninsula', meant to be garbage unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Whistle Down The Wind (1961) Charming wee film with Alan Bates as a murderer taking refuge on a farm somewhere in Lancashire. The 3 children who live at the farm think he's Jesus when they find him hiding in the barn. Hayley Mills is excellent as the oldest of the siblings as they help him while keeping him hidden but soon all the children from the village are curious and want to see him too. Good bit of religious symbolism when Bates is found by the police. 8/10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 A Streetcat Named Bob 7/10 Entertaining cat based drama. Some emotional moments. The father/son relationship loses this film a point. Poorly executed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Metal: A Headbanger's Journey Pretty decent look at metal from the early days to the mid 2000's. Has interviews with fans, bands and a variety of others. Tries to explain what helped formed what and has some weird as hell interviews with Mayhem and Gaahl- the latter seems like the edgiest edgelord to ever edge. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Talk Radio Oliver Stone movie from 1988 about a Jewish radio presenter who argues with all manner of weirdos, racists and assorted fuckwits who phone his show. This is a very well acted and tense movie. Some of the callers blurt out the same sort of pish that Trump supporters drone on about today. Kinda shows that nothing changes and that wilfully ignorant arseholes will always have the same views. 8/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Enemy Jake Gyllenhaal plays a history teacher stuck in a rut. He watches a film recommended to him and spots a c list actor playing a small part who is his double. He makes some enquiries and tracks him down. Much weird shit ensues from this point on......7/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I See A Dark Stranger (1946) Deborah Kerr plays a young Irish woman who hates England so much she decides to do her part as a Nazi spy.The film moves along at a good pace with Trevor Howard as the love interest and a good cameo from the actress who played Mrs Wilberforce in The Ladykillers. Although it's a serious theme there are actually some funny scenes like the funeral procession and the big fight in the hotel room and the 2 officers in charge on Isle of Man are played for laughs. 7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Jojo Rabbit. Fabulous stuff , if you're a fan of Mel Brooks then I'd imagine your going to enjoy this . This has everything a film should have , happiness & sadness and complete craziness . Sam Rockwell is superb as the somewhat crazy Nazi commander with good support from Rebel Wilson and Alfie Allen his useless underlings ,with Stephen Merchant creepily convincing as a Gestapo officer . Funniest thing I've seen in ages . 9/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’ve seen Paddington and Paddington 2 being given big licks on here previously so I finally watched the first one when babysitting my nephew yesterday. It’s great fun and heartwarming. 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
