dan cake Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Watched restless natives for the first time in about 30 years this afternoon. Not the greatest film ever made but holds some nostalgia for me as most of it was filmed not far from were I grew up, it also has a great soundtrack by Big Country. Anybody know the real locations of the "highlands" scenes?

Stapes Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Not a film, but watched the first two seasons of Narcos. Brilliant stuff. Third season not so good, but worth it for Salazar's wife alone.

They should all take a leaf out of the Breaking Bad book - end at its peak.

ParisInAKilt Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 The disaster artist is worth watching if you “enjoyed” the room
dan cake Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 I'm currently halfway through blade runner 2049 and now wishing I was watching the snowman again, utter tedious sh.ite
Grim Jim Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 That's sad Dan. As a fan of Blade Runner, I've been waiting for this. But I'l wait for a few reviews on here before venturing out. (In fact, I'll probably still watch it in the hoose for free somehow, ...someday, and make up my own mind. ,,,patience.) Now you mention it; I never watched the original either on first screenings. Got it mixed up with some other shecht and only saw it a few years late, and then loved it.
Andy North Croy Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 "Wonder" is a fantastic film, and will huv ye bubbling like a wean, guaranteed. Oh, and Julia Roberts is in it

Hertsscot Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 ,Saw "Our Darkest Hour" at the cinema last night. I was pretty cynical about the motives behind it (why this film, why now?) but my wife dragged me along (and paid). I still remain deeply cynical about motives, it should appeal to the Brexiteers though. Generally well shot and acted, bit clichéd in parts. There is one truly appalling horrendous toe curling cringeworthy scene towards the end that is hopelessly historically inaccurate. Gary Oldman who is absolutely superb, and those who did his make up, are the stand outs.
loanhead-tartan Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Went to see 3 billboards outside ebbing Missouri last night. Lives up to the hype, sam Rockwell and frances mcdormand we’re brilliant in it
Kimba Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Stonehearst Asylum and A Cure for Wellness are two good movies I watched recently.
Mitre Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 The Foreigner is pretty good. Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. Preferred the book (The Chinaman by Stephen Leather) but it’s a decent enough adaption 7/10.

Wonder if he'll highlight all the Poles knocking the Luftwaffe out the skies? It would make a pleasant change to the normal England won the war.
Jim Beem Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Watched No Stone Unturned; the story of the ‘investigation’ into the massacre in Ireland where the UVF shot innocents watching the Italy v Ireland World Cup 94 game. Predictably the British State does not come out of it very well . Horrendous for the victims and family
Fairbairn Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 On 1/12/2018 at 9:11 AM, dan cake said: the snowman is be avoided at all costs great book utterly terrible film Utter, utter drivel. The worst film I've watched in the cinema for many a year. I can only think of 2 I'd rank below it (Swingers and The Crucible for what it's worth!). Everything about it was poor but the icing on the cake has to be the utterly bizarre peformance (and voice over) by Val Kilmer. How anyone involved in that film could watch it in post production and decide to keep him in it, illness or not, is baffling. On another note went to see Three Billboards at the weekend and thought it was excellent. A stick on for multiple awards especially for McDormand and Rockwell who are both superb. Off to see Darkest Hour this weekend and looking forward to it.
ParisInAKilt Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 As much as I like Gary Oldman, I doubt I can bring myself to pay money to watch a war type film, maybe download it later on.
