And the odd little poke at Marvel and Star Wars as all owned by the same group. Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds, but he is so good at doing it. I thought it was entertaining, but oh so very stupid, if you know anything about how anything works, at all. The marvel and star wars shite seemed like adsvertising more than a "poke". It was alright. Bit of a mediocre mashup of the Truman Show and Ready Player One. Probably wasn't helped that I've read more than one book with the premise "NPC gains realisation they're a character and not a real person" so it didn't even have the "clever concept" brownie points from me.

Big Salad Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Finally got around to watching Army of the Dead on Netflix last night.

Spin off prequel called army of thieves revolving around safe cracker Ludwig (AOTD's best character for me) drops this month on netflix, should be a blast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Watched The Guilty last night never seen or even heard of the original but thought this was pretty entertaining plus Jake Gyllenhalls one of my favorite actors 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The Night House 2020 Horror chiller thriller, very good Rebecca Hall performance. Won't say anything as it's a film that's open to one's own interpretation but it's pretty good and very well made considering its budget. Worth a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Shot Caller was surprisingly ok! A good cast and overall a decent prison flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably seen it but if not, Brawl in Cell Block 99, is a good prison flick as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2021 There's a really good prison flick with a young Sean Penn called Bad Boys that I haven't seen for 20 years and never seems to be on anywhere. It's call Bad Boys which means every two weeks I see Bad Boys on a TV schedule and have to go through the Will Smith disappointment one more time. Anyway, I recommend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a VHS copy of that one knocking about somewhere in the loft. The scene where a young Clancy Brown as the prison 'daddy' adds a few more 'greens' to Penns plate is always one I remember 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Been on a Phantasm kick since yesterday; had forgotten how good and genuinely creepy these movies could be.

Phil Silvers Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Badboys was a great film, Penn is or should be regarded as one of the great American actors of the last 40 years, doesn't work enough for my money, super talent. While we're on prison flicks, anyone remember a low budget prison trilogy called Penitentiary from the 70/80s, was quite brutal, x rated, probably awful now but they were quite entertaining back in the day. Penitentiary Quote A hitchhiker named Martel Gordone gets in a fight with two bikers over a prostitute, and one of the bikers is killed. Gordone is arrested and sent to prison, where he joins the prison's boxing team in an effort to secure an early parole and to establish his dominance over the prison's toughest gang.

ferguson1 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Talking prison flicks, I’ve always enjoyed watching the Shawshank Redemption. Gives you everything that film. A guilty pleasure and I always watch if it’s on is Escape from Alcatraz. I do like a Clint Eastwood film though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
