Ingram85 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 23 hours ago, sne said: Netflix horror movie The Ritual. Not terrible take on the "people in isolated places meets unknown horror" genre. Group of Brits goes to Scandinavia to hike and things get strange. Based on a novel. Pretty accurate depiction of northern Sweden and it's people IMO. My favorite somewhat similar movie to this is The Descent Reveal hidden contents although The Ritual borrows from lots of different stories like Silent Hill, The Hills have eyes, King Kong and many many more It’s not on Netflix in the UK? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked into this when I watched it last week and it seems that it was released about 4 months ago in the UK and has only just reached the US. I can only assume its no longer available on our Netflix which is weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Den of thieves tonight you can see it’s heavily influenced by Heat and the usual suspects but was a decent enough heist film , been waiting a while for Butler to make a second good film after 300 and finally he’s delivered Best heist film I’ve seen this year so far , so worth seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted February 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2018 A friend of mine is currently working on a Scorsese movie here in New York. Deniro, Pacino and Joe Pesci. Safe to say it's a gangsta movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just missing Leo to be the complete Scorsese film. The only other thing I’ve seen about it is De Niro being pictured wearing these rather nifty shoes - Edited February 14, 2018 by Shropshire Lad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted February 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2018 Tickets booked for Shape of Water this weekend. Not gonna lie, I'm expecting this to be film of the year material for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2018 I watched Patriots Day yesterday. Honestly, the combination of 'MURICA and Mark Wahlberg made me apprehensive but it was actually pretty decent. They spliced in real footage from the attacks very well and it was really quite emotional in places. Got a bit too cheesy in parts, Wahlberg's monologue near the end being a prime example. But it was a pretty enjoyable movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Watched 'Last Flag Flying' last night with the better half. Richard Linklater film, billed as a comedy but it really isn't. What it is is a lovely little film though. Simple. Nothing flashy, but thought provoking and well constructed even if the script is a bit lacking when he isn't trying to make a point. Solid 7/10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) The love for Black Panther is real. Reports of standing ovations and cheering - at UK cinemas. That's quite something. I'm hyped. Edited February 15, 2018 by wazzap24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They it has been marketed and pushed however are very similair to Wonderwoman in that a lot of its short comings will be ignored. It has a very good cast and a lot of strong preformances. Boseman is very good in the lead. Jordan had the makings of one of the better marvel villians till the story let him down badly. The action is weak at times and the fighting scenes are poor in general and suffer from far to much CGI and seem to lack any punch or impact. Martin Freeman is jarring with an American accent. The humour is more gentle and not as strong as previous films. All in all it sits about the Doctor Strange level for me on the Marvel scale at the moment. Far below the Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnorock and Guardians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
