There's an AI imagined sequel to City of God I just saw a clip of. Looks pretty interesting and the first film was unbelievable 

[Daisy1903]

2 "oldies" that I hadn't seen:

Montage of Heck. Documentary about Kurt Cobain with lots of home footage of him and Courtney. Really hard to watch at times as the 2 of them were fucking mental.

Guardians of the Galaxy. Not really into super hero stuff but was enjoyable.

Then a newbie. No hard feelings. Pretty funny and one really weird scene with Jennifer Lawrence completely naked beating up some folk

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I saw Bull the other night, a gangster drama.

Knowing nothing about it, I expected a US drama, but its based in England.

A revenge movie, of the type everyone enjoys, it is pretty violent at times and the lead character actor does a chillingly effective job of appearing to be a psychopath.  Scottish actor David Hayman also does a good job of being a threatening gang boss, despite being well into his 70s.

Its pretty formulaic "getting them one after the other" stuff, but with a truly bizarre / unexpected / genre busting twist at the end.  Nae tits, perhaps surprisingly for an underworld film.  Tamzin Outhwaite is in it (past her best but you'd still give her a go!)

The violence produced a few cringes from me: I can tolerate soldiers gunning each other down all day, but im flightly around violence involving large knives (im a rubbish weegie).

Gripping enough, but the twist left me thinking WTF!?  7/10.

Without the twist it's probably a 4/10. But even the twist wasn't that great

I didn't really like the twist tbh, but thought the film itself was decent enough.   I enjoyed how they teased out the backstory during it.

It's no exactly up there with the Usual Suspects or Seven with regards twists is it? 🤣

I was the other way. Was enjoying it till half way then started to cotton on to the potential "twist". Spent the last half of the film thinking oh god please don't - but they did. Think I said at the time something like they blew up their own movie.

Soaked in Bleach also decent.

I'll give it a try. I've seen a couple of others about him but can't remember what they were called. One had a lot of animation in it and the other was trying to show he didn't shoot himself.

Equalizer 3.

Denzel wipes out the entire mafia. This for me is a big drop in quality from the first two.

[Adogcalledspot]

Watching a film to try and obliterate today result and performance.

the new Indina Jones film , plot may not be its strongest point but the AI of Harrison Ford is brilliant 

wonder if AI could reinvent us a new Fergie and God

Watched this weekend.... worth watching for that one scene alone.

It's a pretty odd scene isn't it and not very flattering, which is an odd thing to say about Jennifer Lawrence in the nip.

Been watching all the Indiana Jones films in order. Had never seen Crystal Skull, but by God it's a heap of shite. How does that Shia LeBouef get work?

Aye it’s bizarre, was convinced it was a body double or CGI but nope actually her.

I’ve only seen Crystal Skull once and that was enough. Hoping the new one is better.

Early morning classic

"Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the medical school? I'm supposed to be giving a lecture in twenty minutes and my driver's a bit lost"

Dumb and Dumber?

Lovely set of hooters you got there

[Daisy1903]

The sequel was pish apart from the casual racism in this bit

 

[Hoofball]

Watched Sisu. Set towards the end of WWII a mental Finnish bloke spends the whole film trying to get his gold back from a bunch of Nazis. Some very far fetched scenes but still a decent watch

[zeroisgod76]

Read about this film recently and thought it was on here but gone back through last few pages and can't see any mention of it. Marionette (also known as Repression) on Amazon Freevee. Woman moves from upstate New York to Scotland because she 'loves the rain' to take up a job as a child psychologist and meets this fucked up kid that can make things happen by imagining them. Not the most incredible movie but entirely filmed in Aberdeen and the Shire. Lots of scenes in town, down by the beach, at the harbour, Woodend hospital... the main filming location is Blairs museum but also scenes filmed  at Portsoy and out Deeside way. Worth a watch to see how many places you can recognise.

The Lighthouse - 6.5/10

Roadhouse 10/10

Blutz is probably watching it as we speak. Either that or Hard To Kill or Under Siege.

[King Street Loon]

Schindlers List, Terminator 2 and Gran Torino all watched in the last couple of evenings. 

All great and good films.

Agreed. Schindlers, despite being b&w, long and depressing, like Jaws, I could watch it any day of the week.

Although I prefer the first Terminator.

Watched that Arnie documentary and he mentioned they wanted OJ Simpson for the role of the Terminator but no one believed he could be a ruthless killing machine...

Also, they had concerns about Arnie's ability to speak. So they only gave him about 60 words to say in the entire first film
