What film did you watch last night?

[AndyRM]

out of interest I went to IMDb to see what she has been in.....who knew there was on Odd couple remake with Matt Perry, not me and in its third season, ....

Like I said, not much.

 

[RoubaixCube]

I just watched 'Tour De pharmacy' which is a loose translation 'cameo's-galore'. Its literally a spoof documentary and piss take of tour de france that was made by HBO. Even has Lance Armstrong in it talking about doping lol.

Its something to watch to kill some time.

Life.

Implausible sequel fodder.

 

[Drago]

Gravity.

Special effects and attention to visual detail was first class. Plot had more holes and innacuracies than a politicians Brexit campaign.

Watchable, but it will be infuriating to people with any education in astronomy or celestial mechanics.

5/10.

[QUOTE 4960322, member: 259"]It. They only did half the book, the clown really wasn't that creepy, and John Boy wasn't in it. I'm probably just remembering the Tim Curry one on TV through rose-tinted specs though.[/QUOTE]
Wasn't the old John Boy version done in two halves too? As i recall, part one: excellent. Part two: utter pants.

I think its called movie magic ...reality can be very boring.

You'll be telling us next that Armageddon wasn't accurate.

127 Hours. Short on laughs.

Going in Style.

Not bad, but only because of the good central performances by Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and especially Alan Arkin
The idea is fine, albeit not particularly original, and it could have been good with a better script.

5.01 /10

 

[Drago]

Standoff.

Laurence Fishburne is the hired killer trying to whack the little girl being protected by Tom Janes. Virtually the entire film is in Janes' characters house detailing the standoff between the two men.

An interesting premise, quite absorbing. However, the plot ultimately lacks a little depth, a little dimension.

7/10. Better than average, but not a masterpiece.

The weapons drills were awful in that film.

The weapons drills were awful in that film.

Actually, they were pish poor. The scene where Fushburne is firing the Beretta M9 and runs out is rubbish. He beeps pulling the trigger, and you can hear the weapon keep clicking. Rubbish. He clearly had the SAO model so the hammer won't release unless the weapon has been manually cocked, or a fired round has cocked the weapon.

"It"
With Pennywise the (not very scary) dancing clown.

 

[gbb]

First They Killed My Father, directed by Angelina Jolie.

First rate, sobering, sad, a bit brutal but nowhere near as bad as some films of the same ilk in the past. I felt it kind of skirted through that period the Khmer rouge came in, the people in the cities were shipped out, the central family face an uncertain future, suffer, get scattered, see horrors no children should see...then all of a sudden, the Vietnamese are back and the period of terror is over.

Good film, thoroughly absorbed by it.

The Untouchables.

I love that filum.
