Agree, anyone who thinks that Brazil player was onside after the overhead kick obviously does not understand the rules of the game and for that reason I am out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 The Fear Street trilogy on Netflix was passable young adult slasher entertainment, not read the books so can't compare. Kinda mixes all the usual story lines so it's as far away from original as you can get. You get a bit of Scream, Friday the 13th and some Salem witches type stuff and so on. They are of pretty similar quality so overall maybe a 5.5/10 for the trilogy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) The new Space Jam movie starring LeBron James is getting absolutely slaughtered, apparently it's almost Cats levels of terrible Currently sits on 3.6/10 on IMDB but that might partly be because people don't like LeBron but the reviews I've seen has not been kind. On a separate note I just found 2 Korean disaster movies I've not seen so well chuffed about that. Edited July 16, 2021 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Spamming the thread (pun intended) but the new Nicolas Cage movie Pig is available on the high seas now. It's getting amazing reviews and the trailer looked really good. It's about a man and his beloved truffle pig, and as mentioned it's starring Nic Cage. I have so high hopes about this one Edited July 17, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Watched Pig. Great performance from the lead. An unusual and entertaining story. Won't say much as most will not have seen it yet. Solid 8/10 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising Arizona is in my top ten favorite movies. He really is a very good actor. This is one of his "actor projects" and not one of the hell yeah entertainers..... and for the budget it looks great too. It's not fast but its a good'un. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Was very bored last night and ended up watching a couple of old films/favourites of mine - Duel and Westworld. 70’s classics for me. Both have that tension in a film, without the need for gore and guts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 On the subject of having slowed down cover versions of old hits in trailers and movies. Apparently it's called trailercore and yeah, I still hate it. Long read in the link. Quote A sad, slowed-down breakdown of trailercore Anyone who’s watched a trailer for basically any genre of movie over the past 10 years or so — from horror and action to serious dramas — has probably encountered the “trailercore” phenomenon. Basically, it’s when a movie trailer uses a cover version of a familiar song that’s been slowed down and stripped back, with added emotional emphasis to the lyrics, usually overlaying them with darker meaning. Oh, and the song is usually a nauseatingly on-the-nose match for some basic idea in the movie’s premise: Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” in the Dune trailer, “I’ve Got No Strings” for Avengers: Age of Ultron, “Crazy” in the Birdman trailer, or “I Started a Joke” for Suicide Squad, to name just a handful. Usually, the trailer starts off with a score that builds up to the drop of the song, where viewers are meant to make the connection and experience a moment of shock and awe. But after a decade of this technique, it’s become harder to get that kind of strong reaction... https://www.polygon.com/22574251/movie-trailer-cover-songs-artists 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
