So many funny scenes, unexpected cameos. Loved it. 8.5/10 Watched this myself at weekend. Really fun and visually interesting. Ryan Reynolds is a funny guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted October 4, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 4, 2021 De Oost (2020) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8639136/ A movie about the controversial history of the Dutch East Indies Army and Depot Special Forces against Indonesian guerrillas in the Indonesian War of Independence right after the WWII. Tells the story through the eyes of a young Dutch soldier who joins the special troops led by Captain Raymond Westerling and then gets extremely disillusioned after wittnesing the brutality and war crimes committed in South Sulawesi under his command. A refreshingly different movie, with a setting and the story that hasn't been told on the screen many times before. 7.5/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Suspiria (1977) It's a giallo film. 8/10, it's scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) No Time To Die (2021) 5/10 A potentially great filmed ruined by several things for me. Craig, Seydoux, and Malik are great and I’d recommend this to a Bond fan or a casual filmgoer but if you’ve played any Metal Gear Solid games give this a pass, just replay the games instead. It is too damn long. They wrote female 007 an unlikeable possible and the actress tried so hard, but ultimately was done dirty by the direction and script. The plot is nearly a verbatim tip off of a fucking 1998 videogame, Metal Gear Solid. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, this ultimately ruined it for me. FOXDIE and nanomachines, son!

I'm not a Bond fan if I'm honest but reading that review just highlights a problem with a lot of new big budget movies. They are just far too long, it puts me off watching movies at the cinema when I know its nearly 3 hours long.

Rick Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Free Guy - 6/10 Went in with high hopes, soon realised it was just another Ryan Reynolds vehicle. Disappointed really, it was just fine. Edited October 10, 2021 by Rick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The Firm - 7/10 Good 90’s thriller, but should have been so much more with that cast. Was a tad bit overlong as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 There’s Someone In Your House (Netflix) : 4/10 If “13 Reasons Why” met “Scream”. Predictable script, boring forgettable characters and all of the Netflix cliches you could dream of. Of course it isn’t truly a Netflix film/show without the token gay/trans kid that serves zero purpose. Hard, hard pass. What’s funny is that my wife and I got the killer right within the first 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploughendplonker Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Watched a Bond film for the first time yesterday; The Man With a Golden Gun (1974). Not usually a huge film fan, but really enjoyed it. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scenes at the police station and when Casey Aflleck meets Michelle Williams are so powerful. I saw it when it came out and thought it was ok, though for that type of movie I preferred the Savages with the late Phillip Seymour-Hoffman and Laura Linney. Out of all those Indy Us films one I enjoyed the best was Little Miss Sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted October 12, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 12, 2021 Werewolves within - 6/10 Not a lot of surprises here but kind of a funny comedy/horror type thing with a bunch of people in a small town getting held up within one home and one of them is a werewolf. Easy watch with some funny deaths and lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar except these are soldiers on a training exercise and they get trapped in a farmhouse... considering it's a low budget British film without tons of CGI it's pretty decent.. It's 2002 so fairly old now but worth a watch if you can find it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ploughendplonker Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Casino Royale (2006) - 3/10 A real disappointment compared to the first one of the series I watched. Bond just comes across as a homicidal maniac in this one, with a serial killer-esque lust for murder. The film as a whole seems to reliant on car chases, violence, and other fancy tech. Not for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just about every bond film they ever made... If I remember rightly Casino Royale was a bit of a turning point being less reliant on fancy gadgets and bringing the films a bit more back down to earth being a bit more serious compared to the Roger Moore style type bond.. Having said that Moore's opener for 'The Spy Who Loved Me' still ranks as one of the best opening sequences in any bond film for me.. "James I need you... So does England..

" My issue was action and other fancy effects took precedent over any decent dialogue. No pun intended, if Bond spends the entire film killing more or less everyone in sight (like in Casino Royale) it becomes overkill in the end. I know many like all-out action, but to me, too much of it seems completely pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 On the subject of Westerns not a huge fan though have liked some. One of the better ones was Shane, with that great opening sound track and the gunfighter trying to change yet getting dragged back to the gun slinging. Saw a Western for the first time called Hombre, with Paul Newman as the lead. Newman plays a Westerner brought up by Indians that inherits a house and on going to clear up the paperwork by getting a stagecoach gets caught up in a heist. He decides to take action and then it is cat and mouse until the end. By Eastwood standards not many deaths yet an interesting story.
