What film did you watch last night?

[Joey Shabadoo]

Deadpool v Wolverine

I've not watched any of the Marvel films so I feel there were a lot of references I didn't get but a good film nonetheless. Thought the humour was a bit near the knuckle for Disney though.

Just watched the new Mufasa film at the cinema. If you get the opportunity to see it, don't. Terrible music and very predictable plot. Under 10s will enjoy it, or anyone who has difficulty thinking.

Like most Disney films, then.

just finished watching Gladiator, what a fabulous movie, and Lucilla (Commodus' sister) she has to be the most beautiful characters ever in a movie, and those dangly earrings. Just couldn't take my eyes off her
But Lucilla aside, what a well put together, well filmed, well balanced (with story and action ) film - Just superb (and I could of well seen it 10 times now)

and lucilla

Oh very near the knuckle - but that's sort of the point. And yes "a lot of references I didn't get" will be the understatement of the year! The film is easter egg Christmas for Marvel nerds.

If you have Disney Plus I'd recommend the "making of" documentary as well - it's a wonderful insight into the film making process and it's surprising just how much in the film was old school real sets rather than green screen CGI.

Watched Gladiator 2 after some persuasion...didn't think much of it to be honest.
A generous 5/10

Better Man. The Robbie Williams Biopic.

The story isn’t a big surprise to anyone who was watching music in the 90s and 00s. But the film’s use of a chimpanzee as the man character is inspired, you forget he’s a monkey within 5 minutes.
It turns a very run of the mill pop star story into something worth watching.
In comparison with other recent films I thought it was better than Bohemian Rhapsody and probably on a par with Rocketman.

Point break , the " original " 1991 version
Surfs up dude ! , excellent film .

Does he get upset though, like Terry Pratchetts 'LIbrarian', if you do call him a Monkey?
The big question is why a Chimpanzee, rather than an actual actor?
Am I missing some deep philosophical point here?

The actor, who played EJ, was 'Eggsy' in the Kingsmen trilogy!!
(& also portrayed Edddie The Eagle, in the biopic, with Hugh Jackman)

The director said we have more empathy with animals than humans and seeing a chimp doing coke is more likely to have people consider how sad this situation is.

Blimey, is it really that old?!

I enjoy watching it every 6 or 7 years. The last time was only 3 or 4 years ago so I will leave it a while before watching it again.

Surf Nazis Must Die

An old Tromavision production from the late eighties.

A young lad is killed by a group of surfers so his grandma breaks out of her retirement home to average him, it's not as good as it sounds. 😂

4/10.

I've seen this years ago, doesn't one of them have a Rosa Klebb style hidden knife in the end of their surfboard?
