Yeah he was ace. I’ve not seen There Will Be Blood, but he was quality in Escape At Dannemora and he’s playing Riddler in the new Batman movie - I’m proper looking forward to that.

It’s the original Chinese version which is infinitely better. They made a couple of sequels as well though I don’t recall seeing them. 2nd ones good 3rd one not so much, I like the departed but IA will always be the better film for me even if I really like walhbergs character, the 2 main actors in the original are better imo as for the original boring well reviewed films it’s apocalypse now for me, first time I watched that it was redux, thought it was mind blowingly dull im sure a few on here would say deer hunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2020 Mortal Engines. This film is apparently the biggest flop of all time. I can see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Devil All The Time (on Netflix) was above average. very decent cast with some good performances (discounting several shonky southern accents) but failed to really ignite. not bad but not great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Just finished the marvel 're watch ( up to Endgame) introducing the partner along the way. She's enjoyed them so much that having only seen Infinity War yesterday she insisted we double it tonight with Captain Marvel and Endgame. That's a heavy film weekend. Have found I've enjoyed them all this time around, no disappointments at all, although couple of messy films early on but they all held up as at least entertaining even where flawed. Looking forward to the new ones now first time around, I thought I'd bow out after Endgame, but appetite has been re whetted and ready to go! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of Hardy I watched "Lawless" for the first time at the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Guy Pearce made an excellent villain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Well Bill and Ted 3 was lovely. I mean you probably have to have affection for the first two to enjoy it, lots of in jokes and nods to the other films, but I went with it. Acting was a bit iffy at times I concede at times, but if you go in happily pre disposed to enjoying the film, you'll enjoy it. Very low budget clearly though!

Chindie Posted September 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2020 Dark Phoenix. Expected to be appalling. It isn't. It isn't good either but it's not as bad as made out. It's biggest issues are the fact it's paced bizarrely and frankly Sophie Turner isn't a good enough actress to carry the character. And I'd stake decent money the final action scene was completely reshot as it's bizarrely low key (but still surprisingly good). Otherwise it's reasonably well done for a take on the Phoenix Saga that does the story on 2hrs all told. It's better than Apocalypse, to damn with faint praise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent cast, and an interesting plot, it was a fantastic 90 minute blockbuster extended to two and a half hours of boredom. I'm stunned. The Departed is one of my favourite films. It's **** brilliant 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
