ml1dch Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 3 hours ago, BOF said: Yeah that's another very good example @villa4europe. I'd be the same. Where Hollywood tries to re-write history under the pathetic guise of 'telling the real story' (my arse). I did watch Argo, but I'm told it vastly played down, for example, Canada's contribution to that whole story almost entirely in favour of America's one. I have no interest in stuff like Zero Dark Thirty or American Sniper and I can smell propogandist shit, or "America, **** yeah!" as you put it, a mile off. If you're going to shun films because they prioritize narrative over perfect historical accuracy then you're going to miss out on a lot of good films. Unless it's only American historical accuracy that particularly irks you. But even then you never see JFK, Bridge Of Spies, Straight Outta Compton, Serpico, Selma, Zodiac, Bonnie & Clyde, The Untouchables and hundreds more things when the story has been changed pretty dramatically. And I think through not seeing it you might have misjudged the tone of Zero Dark Thirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Solid 6/10, Megan Fox looks absolutely stunning, I had a semi for more than just Raphael. Jason Bourne.8/10 Seemed like a rehash of the earlier films but gets major bonus points for Alicia Vikander. Hard Target 2. 5/10 pretty much what you'd expect, saved by Rhona Mitra, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Batman v superman. Nervously flying through some turbulence and really needed some sleep. This managed to send me to sleep. Epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good cast and decent showings from casey affleck, woody harrelson and Kate winslet (pretty unrecognisable with one of the best cinematic hairdos of recent years!) however I do agree it was all a little formulaic and predictable.

Rodders Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'll generally avoid Jane Austen type ones ( being specific to avoid saying all period dramas ) as the environment is something I do not care a hang for, or if I suspect the tone is going to be up it's own arse abstract kooky surrealism. I don't mind abstract ideas, I don't mind surrealism and I don't mind kookiness, but the holy trinity put together by a director who takes pleasure in knowing only the purest of the pure will understand the damn thing drives me up the wall.

V01 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 War Dogs 6/10 was actually a little disappointed in it, I was expecting a comedy and it's just not very funny. The movie equivalent of Amy Schumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sausage Party was unsurprisingly one of the biggest load of crap ive ever seen. It was like a poorer attempt at a Trey Parker/Matt Stone copycat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 @BOF IF you've been convinced to watch The Big Short (it really is worth the watch) and it ends up whetting your appetite to know a bit more, I can recommend watching The Inside Job afterwards. It's a documentary narrated by Matt Damon and accompanies the film very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2016 Deathstroke looks like he's going to be an antagonist for Affleck's solo Batman film. Or maybe a cameo in Justice League. That could almost be a shot from the second series of Arrow, the outfit is very similar. Decent villain to go for though. Not been done on film before, can put up a fight hand to hand (hopefully done better than Bane) and he easily allows another villain to be in the background manipulating things... Affleck's Batman movie might be decent. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
