Jaws is a fucking classic.

The bit where the boys heid pops out of the speedboat gets me every time even though I know it’s coming.

And the Robert Shaw bit about the US warship that sank in the Pacific and they we were waiting for the sharks to pick them off is so well done.

 

[For Fecks Sake]

Back to the future, still a classic.

The train fight with Sean Connery is one of the best showdowns in the Bond series IMHO. He was also great in Battle of the Bulge. Too bad the booze cut his life short, like his Weegie wife Mary Ure (Where Eagles Dare).

Watched the Fugitive last night, for the first time in ages. Still a bosker of a film.

U.S Marshalls is a poor spin off though.

Only seen it once, years and years ago. Probably why I've never rewatched it

Robert Shaw was never in From Russia With Love - that was Curtis Main

Oppenheimer

 

a gang of clever **** get together and build a bomb to end the war. **** ended the war. Then they felt bad about the bomb and the rest of the film is about how bad the **** felt.

Given who runs Hollywood, it’s a cert for the big one at the O’s

fell asleep not long after the tits were out and woke up to him having a bairn with Emily Blunt. Unsure how much was missed.

Barbie. Fantastic. Haven’t laughed so much at a film in ages. Plus Margot Robbie. Loses points for no tits. Not even plastic ones with no nipples. 8/10.

She looks like a completely different person in every picture I see of her.

For those of you who are interested, I can confirm that Oppie does not hang snake.

Her tits are magnificent. Beautiful nips. 

[The Buzzard]

Babylon. Dunno how to rate it because it scores highly in the tits stakes but that aside it's a mixed bag. I would say I liked it, it's well made, and Margot Robbie is smoking hot in it. Let's call it 7/10. 

[styrofoamplates]

Spider-Man 2. Probably the greatest superhero film ever made? Maybe Batman 89 shades it. But what a great film. 
 

Kirsten Dunst is worth a dunt. 9/10. Loses a point for no tits.

Talk To Me

As horror flicks go I've seen worse. Strong start and even though I think there were a couple of missteps and I figured the ending half way through still pretty decent overall.

‘Nobody’ A little ott with the fighting sequences but Bob Odenkirk is in it and he’s good.The description is quite amusing. @Fridge

 

Hutch Mansell leads an ordinary life with a strained marriage, two children and an unremarkable office job. One night, some thieves break into his house with a gun. Hutch prepares to fight, but relents and lets them leave. Everyone sees Hutch as a failure, but Hutch reveals he held back because the burglars' gun was unloaded.

 

Harsh on the Hutch he would have taken off his leather jacket and had an air shot.

Robocop

What a load of pish. It has not aged well.

The new Mission Impossible 

nae a fan of fighting sequences in filums (this has a heap) 

nae bad, action packed romp 

7/10

Just seen this. First one of them I've got reservations about. Yeah still the same high quality production, big action scenes etc but I don't like the main premise of the story. A super duper computer which has become sentient, knows what everybody is thinking and worked out every conceivable move that can be made by anybody who might wish to destroy it? Fucking Star Trek nonsense that. Then there's the played for laughs car chase in which their getaway car is a yellow Fiat 500. So we've got Ethan Hunt trying to save the world but we've got time for a cartoon sequence halfway through? Pfft.

[Zeus]

Bull.

Was arite. Dead Man shoes vibez until the shitey ending. 

6.5/10

[Clydeside_Sheep]

I saw Sisu recently, it was so-so I thought, a kinda quentin tarantino style OTT slap-stick film.  It might have got a 6 had they not used a cold war Soviet T-55 to portray a WW2 German tank.  Tut tut, just lazy.  5.5/10

Also saw Blood and Gold, which has a very similar story line (rogue Waffen-SS troops trying to rip off someone's gold, towards the end of the war) and is a more conventional film.  I preferred that. 7/10

Also, randomly, Dredd (2012) which was a pretty good Judge Dredd film and much better than the shit one with Sly Stallone. 7/10

Heart of Stone on Netflix... far fetched, action packed spy film in the mould of Bond and Mission Impossible but with a female lead. Gal Badot doesn't get her tits out but despite that still looks gorgeous. Worth a watch if your willing to switch your brain off for a couple of hours 

6/10

[Bluto10]

runaway train (1985)

5/10 (one of that was for voight and the other 4 for my westmalles)

[Jocky Balboa]

Finally got round to watching The Imitation Game last night, about Alan Turing and his team. Some gratitude the British establishment showed him afterward... 😲

Unusually I fit in a couple of movies this weekend:

Top Gun:  Maverick.  Never really a big fan of the original (kinda passed me by, I was only 8 ) I thoroughly enjoyed this.  The pretty superficial / vague story line didn't promise much but, by fuck, the action part of the film was exciting.  Interesting to see how tried and tested themes can be rolled out again and again, and will keep working for directors if done well.  All of the usual character types from US High School dramas were present, the jocks, the nerds, the hot chicks etc.  And the tried and tested "trench run" style for airborne dramas paid out yet again, borrowed from Star Wars which in turn nicked it from 633 Squadron AND Dambusters.  Genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed it, the action at least.  The first "action movie" in a long time worth the name.  My one minor criticism was that Cruise should have sought to nail Monica Barbaro's character and not ageing Jennifer Connolly (who is still fine, granted).  8/10.           

Evil Dead Rise.  Not as scary or funny as the originals with Bruce Campbell, but still very good and faithful to the themes / style of the series.  Buckets of gore and violence, though missing the occasional slapstick "Bottom" style of violence which got laughs in the earlier films.  A few "look away" moments for me at some violent bits, but it didn't creep me out much (although the wife surprised me in the kitchen after it and scared the shit out of me).  I thought the setting worked well, but the end-back-to-start link didn't quite work, thought that's being petty.  Shotgun and chainsaw present and correct.  Enjoyed it.  Who wants some?  8/10.
