i don't see how the original movie will ever be tainted.

Yeah I agree with this. I've lost count of the amount of shite sequels I've endured after a classic first movie.

I just pretend they don't exist

No surprise that John Laurinaitis's name has cropped up in the allegations.

Jurassic world was awful. A cheesy mess of random plot points that make no sense. It’s shite

Especially Dominion. The level of awful was almost applaudable in that

I've been banging the Kid Kapichi (and Bob Vylan) drum for a good couple of years now. 

Love em both.

Looking through my Blu rays last night and decided on a prison based double bill.

First up was

Cell 211 - Spanish/French production from 2009. Very good indeed, an incredibly tense and well acted story about a prison guard on his first day getting caught up in a riot and mistaken for an inmate. Brutal, bleak and brilliant.

Followed by

The much better known A Prophet - French production from 2009.

This one is often used as a 'gateway' movie to contemporary French cinema and rightly so. Regarded by many as one of the best prison movies of all time.

A classic.

Someone has the impossible job of playing Don Logan. 

Surprised they didn't cast his son. He played a decent psychopath in Reacher.

Terrified (2017) by the same Director is worth a watch too, but not quite up to the standard of When Evil Lurks.

Check this out by the same director, not for the faint hearted. He has a gift for horror

 

Yep.

I hope so, him and his wife split up last year, his appearance doesn't seem to be deterring my wife though.

Joking aside, I've seen him a fair few times and he's always superb.

*and looks fat and depressed. And fat.

Going to woke lefty Stewart Lee's Wolverhampton date on Sunday. 

I wonder if he'll be looking fat and depressed. And fat.

I'm about a decade late to the party but we're starting The Leftovers tonight.

Heard nothing but good things so looking forward to it.

Pretty pleased with this 5 minutes from where I live…

 

Yeah that's a decent line up. I'd go for Idles, Soft Play, Yard Act and Bob Vylan alone.

##edit## Noticed The Wytches are playing too. NOICE.

Just back from watching this...

Good stuff.

A million miles away from Hollywoods idea of a disaster movie (here, the UK is affected by almost apocalyptic flooding), very character centric and emotionally powerful with another excellent performance from Jodie Comer.

Well worth your time.

One for @sne

David Emge (Flyboy in Romeros Dawn of the Dead) gone at 77.

really wonderful

5/5

Terrific innit? Just waiting for the Blu ray price to come down a bit so I can watch it again.

First time Director too, which is astonishing considering how mature a piece of work it is.

Tonight's movie is a long overdue rewatch of one of my favourite M.Haneke movies...

"In a statement Gerrard, who is reported to be one of the best-paid managers in the world on a salary of about £15m"

Genuinely sickening.

Pleasantly surprised by how good Tiny Tinas Wonderlands is (on PS5).

For some reason, I thought it was just some DLC for Borderlands and not a standalone game - really decent FPS so far and it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Forgive me father for I have sinned!

This week I watched three Jason Statham films, all with the same basic plot - kid in danger, bent cops, massive retribution.

I loved every minute!

I love a bit of the Stath now and again. He's good at what he does and as he showed in Spy, he doesn't take himself too seriously.

Sorry for your loss Pete.

S4 of True Detective starting today. Not sure but think i'm gonna wait until all eps are put and binge it. Might not...

Really looking forward to this. Mostly because of Issa Lopez's involvement
