useless Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Looney Tunes Back in Action - Lots of funny moments, I especially loved Daffy, the human actors did a good job of joining in with the fun as well. The Lost Daughter - Not bad bad, worth watching, promising debut from Maggie Gyllenhaal. Taipei Story - Liked it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have watched Hot Shots 1 & 2 50 times each. The Naked Gun ones are OK but the o'l Police Squad TV-series is fantastic.Top Secret is equally silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Old. Fan of Shyamalan. Interesting filmmaker but when he gets in wrong it's wrong. This film was an absolute stinker. Let off lightly if you ask me by the critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Struggling with nomadland I think I get it and the way they've done it with real people or at least seemingly real people is cool and mcdormand is obviously excellent... But at the same time its a bit boring a lacking any kind of story or direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is minimal plot and/or dialogue but it somehow works. it was almost a documentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Just watching that Harry Potter 20 years on thing, the main 3 are absolutely insufferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2022 It's remarkable that of the main trio in the Potter films, the most talented actor of the lot is the one with the worst career. How Radcliffe has a career I don't know - he's bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think that's the general concensus, but not for us, we love them all. Endless quotable lines of pure let it all hang out idiocy. Splendid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_75 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 After seeing someone on here give a shout out to Shot Caller on Netflix, I finally got round to watching it. Decent film actually. A good mix of prison violence, white power gang members, shanking and using your anus to smuggle stuff into the jailhouse. Deffo recommend.

This was just weird. The plus points were all Olivia Colman, but you could put her in anything. The film itself, and the lack of a payoff for me were quite annoying. The film stuck with me afterwards, but only because I got more annoyed the more I thought about how I expected/hoped it would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put me in the they were funny right up until the point Fat bastard appeared category some great moments across the 3 films though , I still use the line "That's not a woman, that's a man " (in my best AP impression) if I'm out with mates and one of them is chatting up a hound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
