Under the radar film. Itā€™s just perfectly shot :slight_smile:

If you like this you should watch Andrew Dominikā€™s other films: Chopper, and Killing Them Softly.

If you liked Rush Hour, then AT ALL COSTS you should avoid the lame spin off TV show of the same name.

(Yes it is amusing at times but it contains no Chris Tucker, no Jackie Chan, no Triads, no script and no acting ability).

Only the dead ones though!

Zootopia, what a great film that is, very funny in places with their piss take of equality quotas.

Zoophiles get equal rights now? Probably Corbynā€™s fault.

I watched Thrumbo recently. Very enjoyable if youā€™re into this sort of period in C20th US history.

Got Sing Street and Spotlight to watch tomorrow.

By the Bewbs of Lindsay Lohan!

Yay! FINALLY got to see the original Machete movie last night.

You may remember the discussion about the sequel on here, well local satellite finally showed the 1st one this week.

Obviously Mrs D_P was off to build something within 30 seconds of the opening credits (not a fan of gorefests) and it showed no hint at that point of turning into the quality comic book gross comedy cult movie that followed.

Amazing cast DeNiro, Don Johnson, Steven Seagal all hamming it up, plus Machete gets to bed Michelle Rodriguez Lindsay (and her Mum at the same time) AND Jessica Alba all inside a 2 hour movie (has to be some kind of record that)

(Lindsay plays a drug fuelled nympho bimbo obsessed with self publicity - genius casting, where did they get that idea from?) Oh did I mention great Bewbs? Or Jessica in the post shower scene? (No bewbs but SMOKING!)

Gone straight into my top 10 cult movies.

Still lolā€™ING at how he uses a baddies innards to jump out a windowā€¦

Lot of relevance today with Trumpisms as well.

Loved it.

Get beer in. Watch it

How does one become an actor?

Sing Street. It was assumng in small parts and utterly shite at the end. A crap version of The Commitments IMHO.

3/10

Son of Saul, an utterly disorientating and gripping journey through Auschwitz in 1944 from the point of view of a Hungarian member of the Sonderkommando. The film has been commended for its realism and the way that itā€™s shot is incredibly immersive - the camera rarely moves away from behind our protagonists shoulder - giving the whole film a sense of desperation and fear from start to finish. While it didnā€™t quite live up to all the hype for me, itā€™s still a film I would highly recommend watching, if not for the experience rather than the storytelling.

Sicario

Disappointed. Wafer thin plot. Looked good though and I did enjoy it - just not as much as I thought I might. The violence of Mexican bordet towns was over egged too - Iā€™ve spent time in two of the cities in this film - not quite the warzone they were made out to be,

TedMaul is just about to fuck you in the butt dry.

Thats a shame. Iā€™d disagree on the wafer thin plot, it a 2 hour drama that has to set up emotions and fulfill them. Itā€™s a problem that Hollywood has to deal with in the age of Netflix etc. Looked good ā€¦ Was shot by Roger Deakins, the best DOP now and in the recent past. Cinema is so dominated now by Marvel/Disney who own everything including Marvel and Star Wars and Pixar. If you love movies its a sad time

If you love movies itā€™s never a sad time. There are loads of really great movies. Most people are yet to watch great movies. Marvel/Disney?whatever? nonsense. If you love film you will seek it.
