It’s great fun and heartwarming. 9/10 2 films that both absolutely live up to the hype 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 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 Captain K, woooooo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reluctant to say any more because of possible spoilers.... Ah, fair enough. I've been listening to the Shocktober podcasts and have been fascinated with shock jocks like Howard Stern for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it at the time and it was fairly amusing, completely different in tone to Talk Radio though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanton Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Argo - Excellent stuff from Ben Affleck., with support from John Goodman , Alan , Walter Cranston and Tate Donavan . The true story of an incredible plan to smuggle 6 American " diplomats " out of Iran just after the revolution during the US hostage crisis. It was such a crazy plan it almost could have been the plot for a movie . Well worth watching 9/ 10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Journey to the far side of the sun1960s drama from the makers of thunderbirds about two astronauts who travel to an identical planet. Pretty dated but OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One US reviewer gave it zero stars because it used anti-semitic tropes. He's a fucking moron who didn't understand that the whole point of the antisemitic tropes in the film was to mock them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Watched Jojo Rabbit at the weekend together as a family. Can only echo other recent comments- brilliant film with a whole range of emotions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 On 20/11/2020 at 16:06, jimmy boo said: 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. I liked it. The spiders are clearly a metaphor for something, I guess only Denis Villeneuve knows what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Big fan of Denis Villeneuve myself, Enemy is good, yet weird film. Love the end where he just walks away nonplussed by the spider. Prisoners and Arrival are probably his best two films, but there's no poor ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The Exterminator Early 80s B-movie about a Vietnam veteran who becomes a vigilante after his best mate is duffed up by a street gang.

Homer Thompson Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Office Space tonight. Very enjoyable, lots of good moments. More than anything else though I just love the aesthetics of it all - beige shirts, ugly ties, office cubicles etc. Weird to feel a bizarre kind of nostalgia for something that 1) I was too young to ever actually experience in the workplace and 2) was obviously bad and is portrayed as being so. I suppose good films are capable of doing that though.I watched that a few weeks ago on the recommendation of a friend.I thought it was OK at best. Far too predicable with no subtlety whatsoever 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
