Heard the new one is great but utter bobbins at the same time. I’m looking forward to it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking forward to it I lasted 45 minutes before I bailed in the cinema Gave it a go as the reviews were good and I had my cinema pass - but yeah, just not my thing (never liked the original so I should've known tbh). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Last week watched one of those quaint british / irish village comedy films 'Waking Ned Devine'. My brother insisted we had watched it before, I had no memory of it all, but it's a lovely little film with some very funny moments in it. Echoes of Local Hero and films like that to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjsg Posted May 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yeah Top Gun Maverick is a big nostalgia bomb and cheesy, but some of the scenes, particularly in the final third of the film are seriously amazing Both Ambulance and Sonic 2 hit streaming services in the US, I enjoyed Sonic 2 (kids are watching it again today) more than Ambulance. The new Chip and Dale was better than either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I just can't do Tom Cruise movies. Guy makes my skin crawl and I just can't see past the man even when he acts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Jurassic Park was on Sky Showcase last night so ended up watching it It's still a superb movie, and the effects really haven't aged badly at all. It's a shame they tainted it with all the guff that's come since Edited May 31, 2022 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice to see some behind the scenes stuff and the stuff that was cut from the main film. Some of the stuff that was cut from the main film was actually better than some of the stuff in the main film I watched it a couple of weeks ago and subsequently went back and watched all the others. It's amazing how dated the first one already feels. And the bits they did were rubbish compared to the more recent stuff. I remember watching the first one when it came out and roaring with laughter. It all seems so tame now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Top Gun Maverick was exactly as goofy as expected. Totally ridiculous with the first 3rd almost a direct lift from the first film. The flight scenes were great though. Saying that, I really liked it, dumb but entertaining. Sometimes I enjoy a film where you can disengage the brain and just let it wash over you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Just watched Silverado on Netflix. Can't remember Ive ever seen it. Never been a huge fan of Westerns but I thought it was good. And what a cast. Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Kevin Costner and Brian Dennehy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ‘modern’ western but no Tombstone (imo) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
