shut up meg Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I watched A Brand New Testament on Amazon Prime. A Belgian subtitled film, God lives in a flat in Brussels and he's a dick.His daughter escapes and decides to write a new testament. It was okay, a solid 6-7 out of 10. Link to comment
tiktak Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Glass. Started off well enough, devolved into dullness and eventually played out the final act in a way I just found preposterous - but then I'm not into super hero/villain comics. If there is more to come I'll give it a miss. Link to comment
The Buzzard Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Solo - decent enough for a Friday night. Think it didn’t do well at the cinema but it was better than the last proper Star Wars film. 7/10 Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I thought about this Chewie and I think its because all the characters are so good. Most horror films have such shallow performances but The Shining Ive watched countess times just to watch Nicholson et al. Visually it's brilliant and the sound is top notch as well.So , no , not a horror movie to me. Pretty good answer, I suppose it’s more a horror thriller. Still to watch @@Dad documentary about it. The woman character in it really grates though, even before becoming a screaming mess Solo - decent enough for a Friday night. Think it didn’t do well at the cinema but it was better than the last proper Star Wars film. 7/10I watched it in the cinema and the other day at home, it’s a bit bland really, Chewie (obviously) and Childish Gambino being the only real highlights. Disney is obviously trying to do similar to the Marvel movies where they do a stand alone film and hope to run sequels to that particular story rather than just stick to original Star Wars...........

Ke1t Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Will they fight the burds? Also assuming Ramis would be a ghost? Fuck... Ramis appearing as a ghost would be genius. Get Hollywood on the phone! 1 Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Watched Unbreakable and Murder on the Orient Express tonight.7.5/10 & 6/10 respectively. Link to comment
Jocky Balboa Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Is the latest Jason Bourne film any good? Got it on my Netflix list, to hammer through some time. Link to comment
GlezgaRed Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The Last Laugh, okay but not many laughs considering Chevy Chase is in it - 6/10 Close, Noomi Rapace as a bodyguard and decent enough - 7/10 Link to comment
tiktak Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Is the latest Jason Bourne film any good? Got it on my Netflix list, to hammer through some time. I think it's not quite as good as previous ones but still watchable enough. I just feel it's kinda going round in circles now rather than progressing. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Is the latest Jason Bourne film any good? Got it on my Netflix list, to hammer through some time.It was okay, but just think they’re stuck in a rut with him now. Don’t see why they don’t have him do jobs for the government again as an honest agent. Also my wife’s friend worked on that film too, that’s my new claim to fame. He also teaches lightsaber classes........... Link to comment

tiktak Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 For those who haven't caught these before now, here are a couple of goodies. A History Of Violence and Bone Tomahawk. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 For those who haven't caught these before now, here are a couple of goodies. A History Of Violence and Bone Tomahawk.History of Violence is a good shout, they tweaked it slightly from the comic, a nice job from Cronenburg though. Never seen Bone Tomahawk, looks a decent cast though, will try and find it to watch Link to comment
tiktak Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Gonna steam in to both these tonight. Cheers man. TikTak Sir ? Factually correct but Tik will suffice. Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Watched Bushwick on Netflix, very similar to the comic series DMZ where there’s a new US Civil War. It’s an okay film, nothing too exciting but it was a decent enough take on the idea of America in fighting Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 My eldest girl is currently obsessed with the cartoon film Trolls (2016). I came in one day (mildly stoned) and they were watching it, so I sat down to watch with them. I had no idea it was quite a musical film and thought it was just a cartoon. And so when one of the bergens (monsters who eat the trolls) suddenly sang a lovely version* of Lionel Ritchie's "Hello, is it me you are looking for?" I was somewhat taken aback to say the least. At first I had the notion that this couldn't be happening and it must be my own hazy interpretation of on-screen events, but soon realised it was indeed happening and my confusion was down chiefly to not expecting music, and not anything else. Anyway, its a great film for wee yins, recommended. *the version is sung by zooey deschanel and produced by justin timberlake, so there you are. Link to comment

Chewie37 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Watched Polar on Netflix, review said it was like a split personality between Smokin Aces and John Wick. Mads Mikkelsen is good as the main character a retiring assassin, plenty of gore, fight scenes and some decent tits too. A wee twist at the end but that doesn’t end how you’d think. Yet another comic turned into a film 7/10 Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Mads mikkelson is a terrific terrific cunt.Great film with him in it called the hunt - on prime atm.Says it’s unavailable for me, wonder if it’s due to location? Can you still view it? Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Ah right - probs UK only tbh chewie son... Ill try and track it down for you.I’ll try it with my VPN on my iPad, just means I can’t watch it on the big telly Link to comment
tiktak Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The Mule. Can't help thinking that this would make a better book than it does a movie. Fairly average fayre 5/10. BTW Big Clint is looking on the frail side to say the least. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A Star Is Born. Not bad, rips the arse out of that Shallows tune. Gaga is a bit scary, a strange lady. 7/10 Link to comment
