Saw Hacksaw Ridge the other night - really good. Directed well and Garfield was really good. Having only seen Metal Gear Solid fairly recently I couldn't help but think of that during the boot camp bit, but nevertheless, it was nice to see Vince Vaughn not annoy me for once.

fair enough,  I have to admit I enjoyed the whole thing. It was nice to a sergeant who wasn't full word removed, maybe it was less realistic, I don't know but it worked for me.

 

Molly's Game  - watched it tonight, another Sorkin win for me. Jessica CHastain is excellent. I never like the voice-over narrative though, even with Goodfellas it just jars me, but despite that element, it was really good.

Check out Brawl in Cell Block 99, again a very unlike Vince Vaughn performance.

Unrelentingly brutal film that gets more uncomfortable as it goes through the gears but it’s really bloody good. VV was fantastic.

And slightly overrated ,it's one of them films your almost forced to like . 

This.

Only seen it once but found the first one to be ok, and the second one to be outright boring. When it told me to insert DVD 2 I nearly cried.

Didn't bother with 3.

Godfather 3  , absolute kryptonite ,IMO . I'm cringing now ,at the thought of Andy Garcia's acting ,never mind Coppola's .

I’d agree about 3 but 1 for me is one of the best films ever made in my eyes.

VV annoyed the **** out of me in hacksaw ridge, I thought it was a terrible film

the bit where he picks the body up and runs at the japs with the big machine gun...Jesus **** Christ 

I was on the verge of switching it off when he did the running with the body thing, there was another part where they were crawling along the floor and a supposedly dead body jumps up and screams like something out of an 80's zombie B-movie.

Aside from them two parts it was brilliant

really? I lreally liked 3, and felt it would have benefited from more of Garcia's storyline in focus, I liked him :D  Obviously ,the huge black mark is Coppola's "acting". She madea wise choice to go behind the camera after that.

Give me Goodfellas and Casino over Godfather any day of the week.

Certainly Goodfellas, I can take or leave Casino. The voiceovers from de niro and pesci irritate.

I have a mate who watched Casino before Goodfellas and subsequently feels that Casino is the better film out of the two and Goodfellas is the more derivative.
