exile Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Finally got round to seeing Neds. Better than i thought it would be, I thought it would be all just gangland/glue/broken home stuff but more about growing up, friends, fitting in, with just a bit of gang/glue/home mixed in.

Different movie Man in the Wilderness was another of Harris's films of that era Believe Dennis Waterman is in it too - but he didnt write the film score ...

Thanks for the info. Cinematography isn't really a selling point if that's the best it's got to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i was meaning is that it's basically the same story - but obviously upgraded to current day filming (and acting) techniques So if you dont know the story then give it a go Quite harrowing in parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan cake Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Watched the latest star wars last night, 100 times better than any of the non original 3. Could do with a decent baddie tho Kylo Ren looks about as scary as one of the inbetweeners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 "you were never really here" a hour and a half of joaquin phoenix mumbling around in the dark and hitting people with a hammer cant believe this pile of turd got good reviews, utter utter shi.te Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Watched "The Disaster Artist" at the weekend. Based on the true story of the making of the film "The Room" back in the early 90s, widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made and one that subsequently now has a massive cult following. I really enjoyed it! James Franco is excellent as the eccentric and downright weird Tommy Wiseau who funded, produced, wrote, directed and "starred" in the movie in question. It's such a bizarre story and he's such a mysterious character that you can't help getting absorbed in to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitre Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Calibre - Netflix movie set in Scotland. Pretty good actually. A lot of it shot up in the Leedhulls. 2 city slickers go off hunting in the sticks. Don't watch the trailer as it gives up too much of the story.

Jim Beem Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Love a good Gangster film but had the misfortune of watching John Travolta in ‘Gotti’ the other day. Truly abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Saw Lady Macbeth on DVD. (It came out in 2017 but just catching up). It's based on a Russian story written in 1864, the film is set in rural England around that time. There is thankfully only a loose connection to The Scottish Play, and it would work well as a story without having to namedrop Lady M. The original novella - described as depicting " almost unrelieved wickedness and passion", - was "ignored by contemporary critics but praised decades later as [a] masterpiece, containing powerful depictions of highly expressive female characters from different classes and walks of life." Quite modern and feisty in that respect, than your typical Victorian costume drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Battle of the sexes. Really bad movie about billie Jean king beating a man at tennis when he was way passed his prime.

Toepoke Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 They Shall Not Grow Old was utterly mesmerising. Good that every secondary school in the UK is being shown it as I'd say it's educationally essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hopelessness of war, the dangers of blind obedience, the fact that your enemy is a potential friend with a different leader. I just kept thinking of what my grandpa and his comrades must've been witnessing. The fact that the film was so realistically enhanced made that sensation all the more clear.
