I've been a long-term fan of Robinson's work. He has an excellent sense of humour (IMHO) and has produced a line of 'faction' novels about fighter pilots in the first and second world wars. An author's note? at the end of each book explains where fact ends and fiction begins...
This book is on a completely different subject but continues the 'faction' theme. It is about settlers in Kentucky in the 1830's, the slave trade and a feud between two families.
An excellent read - a five thumbs rating!

Its showing, well now if I'm right but I had the DVD in advance and yes its an official legitimate copy before anyone asks.
Proper GM review time.
Produced by Ridley and Tony Scott this reimaging of the 1970's Film adaptation of Micheal Crichton's Andromeda Strain has been brought up to date with a strong cast and an expanded plotline which gives more ground to the consiracy behind project scoop as well os the origin of the virus itself.
Part one of the miniseries is pretty faithful to the novel and the original film. The sattelite comes down in the middle of nowhere close to the obligatory couple of kids making out in the back of a pick up truck and they of course load it in the back of the truck and take it to the nearby town. Some idiot opens the sattelite releasing the virus and the town dies out rapidly. The psychotic effects some of the victims of the virus suffer are pretty graphic which lead to clues about the nature of the virus when investigated by the wildfire team.
Part 2 of the miniseries......hmmm, where do I start.......? Ok I'll start by saying that I have no idea what they were smoking when they came up with the virus origin and conspiracy storylines but whatever it was must have been industrial strength.
Overall it was an enjoyable film that managed to keep a lot of the feel of the original although the extra plot lines used to make it a 4 hour series could have done with a little more work on them.

Quote from: tailgunner
Comparisons to 'The DaVinci Code' are inevitable but there are crucial differences, for a kick off this has a a logical plot, it is well written and goes like a train. It's about the hunt for a lost Shakespeare play written by a Shakesapeare expert.

Excellent WW2 film about the resistance in Nazi occupied Holland from 1944. Broadly based on factual events it tells the story of a Jewish refugee who joins the resistance and has to infiltrate the German security services by seducing a senior officer.
I thought it to be excellent - well acted, great soundtrack (I listened to the DTS version) fantastic scenery, etc. Tits and bums-a-plenty too. cloud9:

Synopsis
Lori Kendall explores the brave new world of social relations as they have evolved on the internet. In this detailed ethnography, she examines how men and women negotiate their gender roles on an online forum she calls BlueSky. The result is a comprehensive analysis of the emerging social phenomenon of internet-mediated communication and a study of the social and cultural effects of a medium that allows participants to assume identities of their own choosing. Despite the common assumption that the personas these men and women craft for themselves bear little resemblance to reality, Kendall discovers that the habitues of BlueSky stick surprisingly close to the facts of their actual lives and personalities.

Dexter himself, while obviously a flawed character is likeable and his mental commentary is absolute genius in places.

I'll start you off with The book Thief
Book Description
The story of a young German girl who steals books, of her family and the Jewish boxer hidden in their basement as they struggle to survive in Nazi Germany when the bombs begin to fall.
Synopsis
1939 - Nazi Germany - The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier. Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, is living with a foster family on Himmel Street. Her parents have been taken away to a concentration camp. Liesel steals books. This is her story and the story of the inhabitants of her street when the bombs begin to fall. Some important information - this novel is narrated by death. It's a small story, about: a girl; an accordionist; some fanatical Germans; a Jewish fist fighter; and quite a lot of thievery. Another thing you should know - death will visit the book thief three times.
Reader's Comments
The most amazing book I have ever read... cried my eyes out... a mustpurchaseread. happy088
Can't remember if I told you but I did order "The Book Thief".
Yes it is good. Yes I did cry, I defy anyone who reads it not to.
I have just finished ('bout three minutes ago) "It Just Occurred To Me" by Humphrey Littleton. Extremely funny, informative and a damned good read. Available from Amazon ~ BM will, I hope, post a link as despite his careful instructions I seem unable to make the link thingy work.

Far darker than the first film, Dark Knight brings about Batman's greatest nemesis, The Joker. The has more of the feel of the graphic novels in the way that the Joker is portrayed. When Jack Nickolson was cast as the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman he played the character with a degree of twisted comedy that softened the character to a degree. Ledgers Joker pulls no punches, he's a psycho, he knows he's a psycho and he revels in it.
The interaction between the Joker and Harvey Dent is brilliantly done, for those of you who don't know the batman story I'll leave that one to you to find out for yourselves.
If you enjoyed Batman Begins then this is well worth going to see.

Ok, first to get Nicks bit out of the way. There is a little 'action' (sort of) but there is a scene with Angelina Jolie getting out of the bath that would probably appeal to you. ::)
Ok, basic plotline is that a nobody suddenly find out that he is the son of an assassin and has abilities that border on the supernatural. Over the course of the film he discovers who he really is and how to use his abilities to deal (as well as an interesting way of dealing with rodents. If you ahve a warped sense of humour - so thats most of you on here - and you dont like rats then it will appeal to you).
The look and style of the film is very similar to the matrix, car chases, shootouts on topof/in trains and it all goes on at a decent pace. If you want to watch an action film that doesnt need to be thought about much then this is worth a look.

This film is bloody awful, the acting is insipid, the special effects dire and the less said about what the scriptwriters did with Nemo the better. I couldnt even make it to the end of the film and what I did watch is time I'll never get back.
For the benefit of Captain Calamity there is no nekkidness or fornication, at least there wasnt before I was forced to switch the rubbish off. Having said that the director must have been a right tit.

Very disappointing. Most have Clarke's last few books have been Co-written with other authors (Baxter being the most successful IMO) as is this one.
I expected better as Pohl is a an SF master as well.

IMHO Arthur C Clarke has never been more than an assembler of other people's research into a fictional account. Frankly I have liked nothing of his that I have read and gave up on him years ago. Very much a one trick pony I always felt.
I disagree. Quite strongly in fact.
Like you I pretty much gave up on Clarke a while ago. Sometime in the mid 80's I think.
But to call him a 'one trick pony' is ridiculous.
Here are 3 tricks:
item : Positing the concept of communication satelites
item : Not patenting the idea ( point:)
item : '2001 : A space odyssey' (the novel of his and Kubricks screenplay rather than the film itself.)

Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal skull.
Worth a look. Especially on Blu-Ray.
GM stylee review: Lots of fun action sequences, no shagging, bloody awful ending.
The Mummy : Tomb of the dragon emperor.
Also worth a look but not a patch on the first one or even the second one.
GM stylee review: No shagging at all, Chinese mummy's are nowhere near as much fun as Egyptian ones even if they are Jet Li.

No Country for Old Men
I've enjoyed a few Cohen Brothers films in the past, Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski but although NCFOM was technically all there and masterful I didn't enjoy it. It's dark and nasty and probably just a poor choice by me for relaxing on a Friday night.
As for Red Sorghum as the back up ~ hmmm, I should have looked at the sleeve notes a little more closely and read that this was Zhang Yimou's first film. I loved Hero and The House of Flying Daggers but this one was not a tale of wuxia. He's done better since this in '87.

Not to everyones taste this. I watched it because the director will be making the Hobbit movies.
Not brilliant taken as a whole but it is superbly imagined and the special effects are some of the best for years.
Overall I am hopeful that this bloke will do well with the Hobbit.

Watched the pilot for The Beast last night and that looks like ti could be worth following. Patrick Swayze is perfectly cast as Charles Barker, an undercover FBI agent taking a new protege Ellis Dove under his wing, even shooting him at the start of the show to save him when he blows a sting. Despite the hard driven approach to training him, pushing him more and more to test his abilities, Dove likes and respects Barker. But as he starts to see how much the stress of the new job is taking out of him his world is thrown completely when Internal Affairs ask him to investigate Barker...

And Patrick Swayze as a leading man is not a bonus for the film - I know he's ill and all that but he has not been a leading man for a long time noooo:

There was a bloke in the woodwork class at my school (a subject at which I was utterly useless). One term we had to make a toast rack ::) He asked if he could make a record rack instead and was told he couldn't. So he made a toast rack three feet long with space for about 60 pieces of toast!! lol:
Woodwork classes... ahhh... lol:
Apart from possessing a wooden leg (the joint of which he used to oil publicly from time to time eeek: ) our woodwork master was renowned for coming out with a classic phrase.
One boy had made a disastrous attempt at the current task thereby wasting good timber. The master scolded him for his ineptitude and wastefulness... finishing off with the words:
"Bloody 'ell, lad, wood don't grow on trees yer know!"

Not read the book. But I recommend the film. Beautifully acted and directed with restraint that lets the actors tell the story with real emotion.
Its quite a shocking moment when the boy begins to dig underneath the fence to help the other boy look for his father and everything clicks into place and you suddenly KNOW how its going to end.

TBH I have avoided reading it thus far as I had a feeling the ending would not be a happy one ~ in fact I suspected an upsetting end to the story. Now you have told me that one boy starts digging to get the other one out and why there seems little point in seeking to confirm or deny my suspicions
It is upsetting. I don't often cry at books but I did at that one.
Post by: Snoopy on March 04, 2009, 03:10:56 PM
Surely there are other things to write about, make films of, make up stories about.
Another thing in simialr vein ~ has anyone else noticed that just about every other book written these days is about child abuse of one sort or another. Sure it exists and one abused child is one too many but I cannot believe ALL these authors were really abused to the extent that they are claiming.
So books about Nazi attrocities and abusive parents are not what I want as entertainment. I know the history, I know the facts and my reading more of it won't make it go away.

'The international'
Normally the sort of film I would wait for the DVD to come out. However, this was our first visit to the new 'Showcase' cinema that opened here recently.
Lovely, big comfy seats, loads of legroom, massive screen, crystal picture quality and ear crushing sound. Looking forward to trying the 'Directors lounge' experience.
Good film. Convoluted thriller set in the world of high finance. Not an action film if that is what you are looking for though the experience is enlivened by a massive and brilliantly staged gun battle in an art gallery.

Post by: Grumpmeister on March 26, 2009, 03:42:00 PM
For anyone who hasn't come across this band before (something tells me I'm about to show my lack of years now) they are an American band nu metal/rap band with a string of international hits including Somewhere I belong, Breaking the Habit, Numb, Feint, Shadow of the Day and What I've Done to name a few.
With a densley layered style using 2 lead vocalists, Chester Bennington who is best known for his screaming vocals and Mike Shinoda the group's MC who performs the rapping and backing vocals and a range of instruments not normally associated with the genre including the shakuhachi (a Japanese flute made of bamboo) this band has developed a large following over the last 13 years.
One track on the album that was completely unexpected in the set was an accoustic version of Pushing Me Away with Chester Bennington's distinctive vocal style softened and accompanied only by a piano. If you are used to the normal version of the track then this is a total departure and one that works extremely well.
The album itself is also good value as unlike with other bands, the DVD of the concert is also included with the CD. All in all if you are a fan of the group and havent yet picked up this album it is well worth getting.
Post by: TG on March 28, 2009, 06:32:26 PM
That is to say the motion picture 'Knowing' starring Nicholas Cage and some other people and some special effects.
We splashed out and saw this in the 'Directors lounge' at our local Showcase cinema type place. Bloody expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.
Nice bar to spend the wait in, waitress service, escorted to seats, seats are huge lean back style of fing with their own tablas. In pairs making it an ideal cinema experience for couples. Escorted to seats by nice lady, booze and food allowed. Loads of legroom which is a blessing as far as yours truly is concerned.
The film? ...mmm
Very well made. A couple of truly stunning set pieces that rivet you to the screen. But overall, average.

Comedy starring Ricky Gervais as a dentist with few people skills that dies briefly during a routine operation and can then see ghosts.
Gervais plays the part extremely well/the part was written for Gervais - delete as applicable but I thought it was extremely funny and also quite moving at the end (LL cried).
No shagging.
Quote from: Amazon
Ricky Gervais is brilliant in Ghost Town, playing an unnervingly rude dentist, Bertram, who dies for a few minutes during surgery and acquires the unwanted ability to see ghosts. Chased throughout Manhattan by a gaggle of restless spirits begging him to take care of their unfinished business on Earth, Bertram turns them all away except Frank (Greg Kinnear). The latter, a rogue who cheated on his archaeologist widow, Gwen (Téa Leoni), wants Bertram to intervene in a romance between Gwen and a starchy activist (Bill Campbell). Misanthropic Bertram has to polish his relationship patter, but ends up sounding a lot like Gervais' infamous character in the original The Office, unable to complete a sentence without making others uncomfortable. In time, of course, Bertram falls for the wonderful Gwen, setting up a bunch of overlapping conflicts. Cowritten and directed by David Koepp (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), Ghost Town walks a fine line between comic freshness and a story idea with elements that have become overly familiar in movies and on television. Kinnear and Leoni have never been better on screen, but Ghost Town is well worth seeing because no one like Gervais has previously played the hapless hero in a high-concept film such as this one. With Gervais doing his familiar, hilariously discomfiting thing, it really doesn't matter what kind of movie Ghost Town is. Happily, it's a pretty good film in every respect. --Tom Keogh

An excellent Middle-East espionage thriller starring a much improved Lionardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe - directed by Ridley Scott.
The film really is edge-of-seat stuff with some stunning action scenes, plenty of blood and violence.
No shagging.
Quote from: Amazon
Set it next to the similar Middle-East intrigue of Syriana, and Body of Lies is easy to follow, in fact, this movie's plot is amazingly straightforward for an espionage flick. Leonardo DiCaprio is the CIA agent on the ground, an Arabic-speaking chameleon who believes in forging personal relationships based on trust and professionalism. Russell Crowe is his supervisor, a meddler who makes up the rules as he goes along and is more than willing to trade long-term benefits for a short-term "win". While working on a case in Jordan, DiCaprio gets a modest flirtation going with a nurse (Golshifteh Farahani), although his most intense relationship is with a Jordanian intelligence chief (great role for Mark Strong) who takes a wary view of the CIA's activities. Ridley Scott directs as though weary of all the fuss, and his merriment in Crowe's breezy sociopath gives the movie a rather strange aftertaste. It gets the job done, although after it's over you might find yourself craving the head-scratching complications of Syriana. --Robert Horton

Judi Dench and Cate Blanches star in this awesomely acted thriller.
The story is basically that of the relationship between Dench and Blanchett (both teachers at the same school) during a period when Blanchett starts shagging one of her students. Absolutely gripping!
Contains shagging.
Quote from: Amazon
Gold stars to all for this taut psychological thriller based on Zoe Heller's novel that that gets more insidiously twisted as it unfolds. Oscar-nominated for her chilling performance, Dame Judi Dench gives a master class as schoolteacher Barbara Covett, a frumpy, friendless, and flinty spinster who lives with her cat. A formidable presence, Barbara is standoffish with colleagues and not one for students to trifle with (not that they'd dare). Cate Blanchett, also an Oscar nominee and winner of several critics society awards for her impassioned performance, costars as Sheba Hart, the new, overwhelmed art teacher who first becomes enthrall to Barbara after she steps in to help Sheba discipline unruly students. Barbara cultivates a friendship, and insinuates herself into Sheba's chaotic life, which includes her older husband (Bill Nighy), teenage daughter, and a son with Down's syndrome. Then, Barbara catches the reckless Sheba in a compromising position with a 15-year-old student (Andrew Simpson). Seizing her opportunity, the calculating Barbara does not turn her in. Rather, she wants to "help" her. "She's the one I've been waiting for," she writes in the journals she meticulously keeps, and which provide, in voiceover, her corrosive commentary. This all sounds very Fatal Attraction, but no boiling rabbits, please; we're British. Philip Glass's Oscar-nominated score accentuates the growing menace. Though there is little in these characters to admire, (one would think GLAAD would have something to say about the predatory turn Barbara's character takes), Notes on a Scandal is a compelling tour-de-force for its Grade-A cast. --Donald Liebenson

Basically a road movie containing a group of dysfunctional characters in a VW camper van...
Utter, utter shite!
This was recommended to me (you know who you are)... evil: I'd have rather banged nails into my eyes than sit through it.
No shagging.
Quote from: Amazon
Pile together a blue-ribbon cast, a screenplay high in quirkiness, and the Sundance stamp of approval, and you've got yourself a crossover indie hit. That formula worked for Little Miss Sunshine, a frequently hilarious study of family dysfunction. Meet the Hoovers, an Albuquerque clan riddled with depression, hostility, and the tattered remnants of the American Dream; despite their flakiness, they manage to pile into a VW van for a weekend trek to L.A. in order to get moppet daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) into the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant. Much of the pleasure of this journey comes from watching some skillful comic actors doing their thing: Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette as the parents (he's hoping to become a self-help authority), Alan Arkin as a grandfather all too willing to give uproariously inappropriate advice to a sullen teenage grandson (Paul Dano), and a subdued Steve Carell as a jilted gay professor on the verge of suicide. The film is a crowd-pleaser, and if anything is a little too eager to bend itself in the direction of quirk-loving Sundance audiences; it can feel forced. But the breezy momentum and the ingenious actors help push the material over any bumps in the road. -- Robert Horton

Read the book and, as one does, formed the characters in my mind's eye. Somehow I didn't come up with either Dame Judy or Cate Blanchett, the latter being a bit too glamorous for the role and the former a bit too "healthy and wholesome" I would have thought.
But if you want me to name pretty ladies I would like to watch shagging then Cate would be one for the list. Have to say I enjoyed the book enormously ~ which is unusual as I am not a fan of Zoe Heller. Having read the book I'm not sure if I would find the film as gripping ~ mainly 'cos I now know how it turns out.

The only time it works for me (Book v Film) is with the Bond stories which I find equally enjoyable escapism in either format as the books stand alone and the films are such a spectacular firework display that never really bear any resemblance to the original story. That said I have yet to watch the "new" Bond but do have "A Quantum of Solace" waiting to be watched when I get round to it.
On reflection the only other interpretation of books into film format that stands up are Jeeves and Wooster (as played by Fry and Laurie) who have caught it perfectly IMHO.

Awesome movie (based on actual events) about a young Scottish doctor that takes himself off to Uganda in search of adventure. Meets Idi Amin and becomes his personal physician...
Excellent acting on the whole, a great, tense thriller with amazing scenery and accurately portrayed settings, vehicles, etc. Well worth a watch.
Contains shagging (although not explicit) and black burds with their tits out like....
Quote from: Amazon
As the evil Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker gives an unforgettable performance in The Last King of Scotland. Powerfully illustrating the terrible truth that absolute power corrupts absolutely, this fictionalised chronicle of Amin's rise and fall is based on the acclaimed novel by Giles Foden, in which Amin's despotic reign of terror is viewed through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a Scottish doctor who arrives in Uganda in the early 1970s to serve as Amin's personal physician. His outsider's perspective causes him to be initially impressed by Amin's calculated rise to power, but as the story progresses--and as Whitaker's award-worthy performance grows increasingly monstrous--The Last King of Scotland turns into a pointed examination of how independent Uganda (a British colony until 1962) became a breeding ground for Amin's genocidal tyranny. As Whitaker plays him, Amin is both seductive and horribly destructive--sometimes in the same breath--and McAvoy effectively conveys the tragic cost of his character's naiveté, which grows increasingly prone to exploitation. As directed by Kevin Macdonald (who made the riveting semi-documentary Touching the Void), this potent cautionary tale my prompt some viewers to check out Barbet Schroeder's equally revealing documentary General Idi Amin Dada, an essential source for much of this film's authentic detail. --Jeff Shannon

They had two copies and thought I might like it and indeed I do ;) I've read a few of his and seen the film they made of Prairie Home Companion which is very affectionate and wry.
The book's a tad racier than regular Kiellor and very amusing:
Quote
Larry Wyler is frustrated with provincial life and his failing marriage, until his best-selling novel, Spacious Skies, earns him a ticket to Manhattan, a million-dollar apartment and an office at The New Yorker. But when writer's block strikes, an invitation to write a newspaper advice column, 'Ask Mr Blue', provides a much needed distraction. Slowly, painfully, Wyler finds a measure of clarity for his own life, and then sets out to win back his wife's affections.

Twelve Monkeys
Watched this last night - most excellent Sci-fi, mystery, thriller. Set in 2035 the world has been decimated by... well, I'll let Amazon decribe the plot below. Suffice to say I thoroughly enjoyed the film and the lead (Bruce Willis), apart from constantly reminding me of Butch in Pulp Fiction was awesome...
Thoroughly recommended although no shagging... noooo:
Quote from: Amazon
Amazon.co.uk Review
Inspired by Chris Marker's acclaimed short film La Jetée, 12 Monkeys combines intricate, intelligent storytelling with the uniquely imaginative vision of director Terry Gilliam. The story opens in the wintry wasteland of the year 2035, where a virulent plague has forced humans to live in a squalid, oppressively regimented underground. Bruce Willis plays a societal outcast who is given the opportunity to erase his criminal record by "volunteering" to time-travel into the past to obtain a pure sample of the deadly virus that will help future scientists to develop a cure. But in bouncing from 1918 to the early and mid-1990s, he undergoes an ordeal that forces him to question his own perceptions of reality. Caught between the dangers of the past and the devastation of the future, he encounters a psychiatrist (Madeleine Stowe) who is initially convinced he's insane, and a wacky mental patient (Brad Pitt in a twitchy Oscar-nominated role) with links to a radical group that may have unleashed the deadly virus. Equal parts mystery, tragedy, psychological thriller, and apocalyptic drama, 12 Monkeys ranks as one of the best science fiction films of the 1990s, boosted by Gilliam's visual ingenuity and one of the finest performances of Willis's career.

Quote from: Amazon
It’s not always that a stage play translates particularly well to the medium of movies. But for anyone considering such a challenge in the future, Frost/Nixon is surely a fine template to follow. In the capable hands of director Ron Howard, the extraordinary story of how a then-fairly low profile television interviewer managed to bring the disgraced former President of the United States to account is, at best, absolutely riveting.
Much of the reason for this is the two leading performances, which are both absolutely exception. The awards attention for Frost/Nixon has been directed towards Frank Langella, and truly he’s an actor long overdue some recognition. Here, as ex-President Nixon, he’s flat-out brilliant: a complex, intriguing character portrayed with real measure and expertise. It’s unfair, though, that Michael Sheen has been overlooked by some. Fresh from portraying Tony Blair in The Queen, Sheen is once more brilliant here, injecting Frost with an erratic, on-the-edge fallibility that sets up the film’s final act extremely well.
Now you can argue, with some right, that Frost/Nixon flattens out some of the facts to its own liking, and certainly the portrayal of David Frost doesn’t seem to do the man too many favours. But when it gets to the interviews themselves, it’s electric, and proof that you don’t need a bunch of effects and flashy gimmicks to keep you on the edge of your seat. Ron Howard has done this to us before with a true story, in the shape of Apollo 13, and here again, even though we know the ending, the journey there is quite brilliant. You really can make compelling drama with just two people sat in a chair… --Simon Brew

Not bad at all - drama set a year in 1964. A character movie with some great performances - no shagging.
Essentially Doubt tells the story of Sister Aloysius (Streep) who suspects that her school’s priest (Hoffman) has been molesting a male student. She is very much of the old school philosophy of teaching / religion whilst Hoffman represents a threat to her on many levels. She appears bitter , twisted and fierce but is very sure of her convictions and pursues her suspicions without any real evidence - just her gut feeling that she is right.
Some of the cinematography is gorgeous - although some scenes look as if they are preparing you for a horror flick.
Hoffman really is excellent ( as ever) and the performances of the the boys mother is brilliant and unexpected.

The ReaderWhat she said! eeek:
Watched this last night happy088
Set in postwar Germany and tells the story of a man whose life has been shaped by an illicit affair when he was 15 !!!!! - with a passionate, elusive older woman eyes: . She however turns out to some dark secrets . I won't give too much away.
Lots of nakedness and shagging in first half of film - all essential to the plot of course lol:
Watched it last night - awesome movie with loads of shagging like...
Excellent performances by Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes and David Kross who plays the young Ralph Fiennes and bizarely gets no credit on the DVD... noooo: Mind you, he gets to play with Kate Winslet's tits so perhaps that was reward enough... rubschin:
Anyhoo... Highly recommended by me and her. happy088
PS I watched it on Blu-Ray - the picture was absolutely stunning.... cloud9:

Watched the film Doubt today
(https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Ftelegraph%2Fmultimedia%2Farchive%2F01243%2FQUAD_MAIN-DOUBT_05_1243807d.jpg&hash=d5b9271dcf2a1c78e5ddba595c4fe5afbcf408d2)
Not bad at all - drama set a year in 1964. A character movie with some great performances - no shagging.
Essentially Doubt tells the story of Sister Aloysius (Streep) who suspects that her school’s priest (Hoffman) has been molesting a male student. She is very much of the old school philosophy of teaching / religion whilst Hoffman represents a threat to her on many levels. She appears bitter , twisted and fierce but is very sure of her convictions and pursues her suspicions without any real evidence - just her gut feeling that she is right.
Some of the cinematography is gorgeous - although some scenes look as if they are preparing you for a horror flick.
Hoffman really is excellent ( as ever) and the performances of the the boys mother is brilliant and unexpected.
The nice people at Lovefilm have sent us this and we shall watch it and report back. happy088

John Woo returns to form they say and I'd agree. Western version clocks in at 2.5 hours eeek:, the Chinese release was over 4 hours and released as Pts 1 & 2. eeek: eeek:
Spectacular, awesome, inspirational stuff; Chinese historical epic, less poetic than Ang Lee's stuff but action packed. One for the big screen ~ only just released.

Been watching this over the past few nights - watched it on the Beeb originally (in 2003 I think) but picked it up on DVD from Amazon for under four quid - bargain.
David Morrissey ( worthy: ) stars in a political drama set in Westminster. Excellent acting all round from John Simm, Bill Nighy ( worthy: ) and Kelly MacDonald...
Well worth watching and plenty of shagging too...

Winslet and Di Caprio play a couple in the 1950's who are living the American Dream but are wholly discontented with life in the suburbs, the loss of their individual identities in marriage and the lack of realisation of their long held dreams.
Combine this with the overwhelming reality of disappointment and frustration in each other and you can definitely see this is not a feel good movie lol:
No Titantic glitzy romance ( thank heavens 8) ) - just a tragic tale, excellent performances .

Possibly.
But is was OK. From a technical point of view like.
The DVD will give the interested an insight into how the (sometimes stunning) visuals were achieved as well as giving the interested info on how some of the not so stunning visuals were achieved.
The DVD will no doubt contain minutes of lies of the actors gushing about each others talents.
For the record the acting honours are stolen by a former Doctor Who and Jonathan Pryce who hopefully were in the pub when the 'Making of..' DVD was made.
But still well worth a couple of quid on DVD rental like. Ish. Prolly. Like.

Alternatively a children's bible ~ WH Smith do some nice boxed ones specifically for Christenings and since it looks like the child is going to be raised RC (some may say brainwashed) it will get used. Prolly cost you under £50 for a leather bound one or less for a cheaper binding. A suitable inscription in your own fair hand showing the date of the event and your signature (if legible) makes this a unique gift.

Highly entertaining historical novels about Vikings with big swords and bad attitudes.
Well written with great characters, cracking and often hilarious dialogue with a brilliantly paced storyline to lose oneself in.

Possibly one of the strangest things I have ever watched. Henry is a consultant living a normal life with his wife, kids dogs and a mini van. Edward is a trained operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a 4 minute mile and is trained to kill. What do they have in common? They both share the same body. But when the technology that seperates them starts to break down these absolute opposites find themselves in each others livesl where they are dangerously out of their element. Christian Slater does a good job of playing the 2 characters and the conversation they have by messages show just how much they dislike each other.
Certainly worth a look

Biopic of Charles Darwin or at least the events surrounding the death of his daughter.
Beautifully acted. Highly recommended.

It was pure coincidence that I watched telstar on the (near) anniversary of his death last night but I'm bloody glad I did.
A totally awesome movie! happy088 happy088 happy088 happy088 happy088
Joe Meek was the world's first independent record producer and became famous with the release of Telstar which was number 1 in Britain and the USA - the biggest selling record of the time.
Those of you of around my age prolly have the ear-worm now but if you don't this is Telstar.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ybCjf6ras
The film tells Jo's story from the time he set up his recording studio in London. Great recreation of London in the 60s and some beautiful old vehicles.
The acting is superb, the soundtrack is awesome.
Features Con O'Neill, Kevin Spacey, Ralf Little and James Corden.

I didn't cry .....which I did when I read the book, so the film obviously did not convey the same sentiment or brutality that the book did.
The scenes of afterlife, where the main character spent most of the movie watching , were all very kitsch and just didn't do it for me I'm afraid. The acting was extremely good though .

Superb special effects and spectacular set pieces. All marred by high speed pop video editing that seems to be Michael Beys trademark.
Great sound and picture on Blu-Ray but all things considered a load of shite.

As Miss D says - awesome move, highly recommended! happy088
The entire cast were absolutely spot on - very impressed...
Quote from: Amazon
Synopsis
The true story of John Lennon's troubled childhood and difficult relationship with his family is brought to the screen in this period drama. Young John (Alex Ambrose) is a bright but sharp-tongued boy living in the coastal town of Liverpool during the 1950s with his aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) and uncle George (David Threlfall). John's father walked out on the family when he was four years old, and the boy was given to Mimi to raise, even though his mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), was still alive. While Mimi's straight-laced nature runs counter to John's more reckless personality, they clearly love one another and the household is thrown into chaos when George dies suddenly. At the funeral, teenage John (now played by Aaron Johnson - KICKASS) sees Julia, and learns to his surprise that she lives only a few blocks away from Mimi. John pays her a visit, and Julia gratefully welcomes him back into her life. Julia's personality is a much closer fit to John than Mimi, and she encourages his love for writing and music, teaching him to play the banjo. However, John's renewed relationship with Julia brings up a number of unanswered questions, and causes new tensions between Mimi and John. And as rock & roll becomes the hot new sound of the day, John falls in love with the bold new music and makes a friend who is interested in forming a band, Paul (Thomas Brodie Sangster). The first feature film from artist-turned-director Sam Taylor-Wood.

I tend to stick to non-fiction mostly these days but the hype surrounding this tempted me so I got it from the library.
The words 'unputdownable' and phrases like 'keep you up to the early hours' are over used in reviewing books of this type but in this case they are warranted.
A superbly written thriller with strong, believable characters and a relentless plot.

You have 2 choices here, have a few beers first and leave your brain at home and enjoy the action and special effects.
Or bring sober brain and try to keep track of who the feck is in whoevers dream and which 'level' of said dream or even if any bugger is dreaming at the time they do whatever they were doing this that or the other. Or summat like that.

Ok, first for BM's sake no shagging no nudity.
This was a low budget film that took cinemas by storm when it was released about a couple who find their home has a 'guest'. It has a fairly slow start and then goes like this:

JESUSFOOKNCHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Cleaned up a little but otherwise a direct quote from one of the other guys watching)
This is the film that Bliar Witch should have been, even if you do end up spending a good chunk of the film thinking why the hell are you staying in the house. All in all well worth watching, every time the overnight camera showed something happening the hairs on the back of my neck srood on end.

I enjoyed it. Was fast, loud, lots of car chases lots of shooting people. Very tongue in cheek. Best of all more than one location: starts in UK then gets better... Austria, Spain. One for the girls and prolly only as good as it was on a big screen after a lovely dinner. A good relaxing evening. cloud9:

Watched Four Lions (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Four-Lions-Blu-ray-Riz-Ahmed/dp/B003mateOHVU/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1284130456&sr=1-2) in the minema the other evening...
Chris Morris has really pushed the boat out on this one - I'm amazed there hasn't been more hysteria in the press about it...
Quote from: Amazon
It really shouldn’t work. A black comedy that’s basically about four terrorists, planning an atrocity on UK soil? That’s surely a film that’s designed to wind up tabloid newspapers? In the wrong hands, it certainly could have been. But under the diligent stewardship of Chris Morris, Four Lions emerges as one of the best films of the year.
It’s a perfectly pitched, at times rightly uncomfortable comedy, that brings together a quartet of inept terrorists, who when we meet them, can’t even put a video together without it falling into farce. It’s an opening scene that sets up Four Lions perfectly. And led by the terrific Riz Ahmed and the scene-stealing Nigel Lindsay, the company of actors rise to the challenge that Chris Morris sets them.
Four Lions isn’t a perfect film, though. The tone is a little uneven at times, and it’s very much one that’s going to feel more at home on a television than a cinema screen. But it’s still a daring, risky and at times extremely funny piece of work. And it’s one not afraid to pull the rug on you, either, never shielding itself away from the undercurrents of its subject matter. It’s the most ambitious comedy in a long, long time, and it’s credit to all concerned that it works as well as it does. --Simon Brew
Extremely funny yet at the same time deeply disturbing.... confused:

We have grown used to modern special effects and CGI.
Much older films used to use pigs blood but the Actors Unions put a stop to that, so I am told. Not that we noticed as they were mainly in Black and White.
What is it about B&W movies that makes them more exciting I wonder .... I much prefer them.

Force Ten from Navarone had Robert Shaw (who I have never rated ... See Jaws) who was too old and too over the top trying hard to be a British Officer a very young Harrison Ford as an American Officer who was so far above the rank of anyone taking part in such an operation and Edward Fox looking far too old to have serving in the war and with an old Etonian accent that certainly would not have been used by anyone of the rank of sergeant in the British Army. They just got the whole thing wrong.

"In 1976, Steven Spurrier, a sommelier in Paris, comes to the Napa Valley to take the best he can find to Paris for a blind taste test against French wine. He meets Jim Barrett, whose Chateau Montelena is mortgaged to the hilt as Jim perfects his chardonnay. There's strain in Jim's relations with his hippie son Bo and his foreman Gustavo, a Mexican farmworker's son secretly making his own wine. Plus, there's Sam, a UC Davis graduate student and free spirit, mutually attracted to both Gustavo and Bo. As Spurrier organizes the "Judgment of Paris," Jim doesn't want to participate while Bo knows it's their only chance. Barrett's chardonnay has buttery notes and a Smithsonian finish.

Ruth Jones played her well I thought , always thought of Hattie Jacques as quite a bit larger than Ruth Jones and Ruth did portray her as as an extremely sexy woman in this film, something that she was not able to show in any of the Carry on Films as she did not 'fit the part'.
The relationship between her and John Le Mesurier is also quite interesting, obviously a deep, great love and friendship but just not as husband and wife.

Based on the best-selling book of the same name, The Damned United is the story of one of Britain’s finest ever football managers, Brian Clough, and his curtailed 44-day reign at the helm of Leeds United. It turns out it’s also the tale of his formative years at Derby County, the story of his rivalry with previous Leeds United boss Don Revie, and ultimately, the exploration of his relationship with his assistant, Peter Taylor.
The film explores the story by moving backwards and forwards in time, but always at the heart of The Damned United is its trump card. Michael Sheen has already richly deserved an abundance of plaudits in his acting career, not least for his superb portrayal of David Frost in Frost/Nixon, and he carves out another terrific performance here. Taking on the challenge of playing the larger than life Clough, his work here is tremendous, and the highlight of an already-strong cast that also features Timothy Spall and Colm Meaney.
On the screen, the story of The Damned United is actually distilled into quite a straightforward tale, albeit one considerably enhanced by its aforementioned cast. It wisely keeps its running time trimmed, and while you can’t help but suspect that there’s much to the story that’s not explored here, it’s a good, solid telling of a quite extraordinary tale. Sheen won’t, of course, attract Oscar-attention for such a resoundingly British role, but surely his time, on this latest piece of evidence, will come. --Jon Foster

In Revolutionary Road, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite for the first time since their careers exploded with Titanic--and it's almost as if they're playing the same characters, only married and faced with the hollowness of a 1950s suburban existence. Frank and April Wheeler (DiCaprio and Winslet) always thought of themselves as special, but they settled in a conventional Connecticut suburb when they had children. Hungry for a less constricted life, April persuades Frank to move to Paris--but slowly their plans unravel and their marriage unravels along with it. While Revolutionary Road may be a bit too glib about suburban emptiness--the lives Frank and April lead don't seem so stifled--the portrait of a mismatched marriage is vivid and devastating. The ways that Frank and April misinterpret each other, and the subtle yet unbearable dissatisfaction they feel, is rendered with remarkable and unsettling acuteness. Winslet and DiCaprio's natural chemistry tells us what drew these two together, making the way they tear each other apart all the more shocking. The excellent supporting cast includes Kathy Bates (Misery), Dylan Baker (Happiness), and especially Michael Shannon (Bug) as a mentally troubled mathematician who cuts to the quick of the Wheelers' troubles. Mention must be made of the beautiful production design; the costumes and sets are simply gorgeous. --Bret Fetzer

Quote from: Amazon
The phrase ‘national treasure’ is, inevitably, an overused one. But Mike Leigh, arguably Britain’s most consistently strong film director of the past 20 years, surely warrants the tag. His latest film, Another Year, is one of his finest, as Leigh once more draws sensational performances from his cast. The cast features Lesley Manville, Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen, and the premise of the film follows a married couple in the later years of their lives. We meet them across the four seasons of one year, and Another Year calmly explores the unhappiness, events and people that surround them during that time.
It’s a wonderfully understated piece of work. As is his usual approach, Leigh worked with his cast for months to shape the characters in the film, and they come through as fully three-dimensional human beings. They’re exquisitely played, too, with Broadbent and Manville rightly attracting awards attention for their work here. The hidden star of the piece, though, is Mike Leigh himself. His focused direction, and honest exploration of human lives, shines through once more. And while Another Year may not, ultimately, be one of 2010’s most upbeat movies, it’s undoubtedly one of its very best. --Jon Foster
Synopsis
British filmmaker Mike Leigh delivers another emotionally honest portrait of ordinary people trying to make sense of their lives in this comedy drama. Tom (Jim Broadbent) and Gerri (Ruth Sheen) are a couple who are drifting past middle age into their sixties; he's a geologist and she's a psychotherapist. Tom and Gerri have a stable and happy marriage and a grown son, Joe (Oliver Maltman), an activist lawyer who hasn't settled down yet, much to his mother's chagrin. One of Gerri's co-workers and close friends is Mary (Lesley Manville), who puts up a facade of desperate good cheer despite the fact she's been very lonely since her husband left her and has been drowning her anxieties in wine. Gerri has unsuccessfully tried to fix Mary up with Tom's sloppy but good natured pal Ken (Peter Wight), and she's startled when Mary begins openly flirting with Joe, more than 20 years her junior. Mary's troubles only grow worse when she stops by Tom and Gerri's place only to be introduced to Katie (Karina Fernandez), Joe's new girlfriend.
Perhaps you have to be a certain age to watch it - the kidz were 'still waiting for it to get going' when the end credits rolled... ::)

Watched this in the Minema last night - another £4 bargain that LL brought back from the UK...
Quote from: Amazon
Written and directed by Academy Award-winner John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck) and with an exceptional cast including Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman plus Academy Award-nominee Amy Adams, Doubt is a gripping story about the quest for truth, the forces of change and the devastating consequences of blind justice in an age defined by moral conviction.
It’s 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the school’s strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James (Amy Adams), a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence.
Breathtaking acting from Streep and Hoffman... in fact all the cast perform superbly... No action, no shooting, no shagging but a thoroughly engaging film. Five thumbs up! happy088 happy088 happy088 happy088 happy088
Quote from: Amazon Reviewer
John Patrick Stanley's film adaptation of his own Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning play 'Doubt: a Parable' unfortunately did not come up with any Oscars Sunday night but still deserves accolades for it's multi-layered plot, excellent performances and thought-provoking denouement.
The setting of the film at a Catholic school in a largely Irish/American Catholic neighbourhood of the Bronx in 1964 - a year after the deaths of JFK and Pope John XXXIII and the convocation of the second Vatican Council, which boldly sought a rapprochement of the Catholic church with the modern world - emphasises the central conflict of the film between:- (A) The old certainties of the past, as embodied by Meryl Streep's arch-traditionalist, stern, foreboding, ball-point pen hating nun. (B) The ever-increasing uncertainties of the present represented by Patrick Seymour Hoffman's modernist, charming and openly liberal parish priest.
The story is ostensibly a sort of 'whodunnit'? (or rather 'did-he-do-it'?) in regards to allegations of innappropriate relations with children but on a deeper level probes further into the nature of faith in an ever-changing and increasingly secularised world. Is Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character a sexual predator or merely a misunderstood victim? is Meryl Streep's character an overzealous gossip or true believer? there is indeed doubt. The film does not underestimate the intelligence of the audience and allows for several interpretations. Thought-provoking, engrossing and well-acted by a strong cast. A film that is well worth a watch.

(https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Ftelegraph%2Fmultimedia%2Farchive%2F01243%2FQUAD_MAIN-DOUBT_05_1243807d.jpg&hash=d5b9271dcf2a1c78e5ddba595c4fe5afbcf408d2)
Not bad at all - drama set a year in 1964. A character movie with some great performances - no shagging.
Essentially Doubt tells the story of Sister Aloysius (Streep) who suspects that her school’s priest (Hoffman) has been molesting a male student. She is very much of the old school philosophy of teaching / religion whilst Hoffman represents a threat to her on many levels. She appears bitter , twisted and fierce but is very sure of her convictions and pursues her suspicions without any real evidence - just her gut feeling that she is right.
Some of the cinematography is gorgeous - although some scenes look as if they are preparing you for a horror flick.
Hoffman really is excellent ( as ever) and the performances of the the boys mother is brilliant and unexpected.

Quote from: Amazon Reviewer
The Third Battle of Ypres was fought in the most nightmarish conditions of any campaign on the Western Front, going from initial unexploited victory to muddy, bloody stalemate, yet despite the impossible conditions, the Canadian troops who fought there, like the Australians, distinguished themselves on a remarkably regular basis, inadvertently providing endless material for a truly great film. Unfortunately Passchendaele, Canada's most expensive film to date (but still mostly unreleased outside its borders), is not that film. Even more unfortunately, it has the feel of a vanity project, with Due South's Mountie Paul Gross writing, co-producing, directing, providing the end title song and giving himself a leading role with all the things actors love to do as a heroic/cynical/tragic/shellshocked Canadian soldier who falls in love with a nurse back home (Caroline Dhavernas, an appealing actress who delivers the film's most convincing performance) before being thrown back into the fray to keep an eye on her screwed up brother. Looking like Patrick Wayne and often sounding like the Duke - "Bring on the Hell!" - he's rendered as too much of a stock WW2 movie character despite being based on a real person, which keeps you from taking him or the movie seriously.
Nor do the opening heroics convince - like much of the film, too many of the attitudes ring false, from its far too modern hero to the designer cynicism. For all the sporadic faux-Saving Private Ryan combat sequences, these are always stock movie characters in stock movie situations saying stock movie dialogue like "You're looking for romance, kid, you're not going to find it in a trench." The latter might be one reason why it spends most of its running time away from the hellholes and mud of Flanders and in the gloriously photographed scenic grandeur of smalltown Alberta instead. Some occasional details are right, like the soldiers sleeping on the hospital floor because after months of trench life ordinary beds are agony for them, others are wrong (it places nurses much closer to the frontline than they were allowed to provide a romantic reunion), but while it recreates period details it often completely misses the feeling of being set in another time. Only the brashly enthusiastic British recruiting officer seems a spot on characterisation, and he's there primarily to further the melodrama, which this film has in spades. It's at its best when evoking Frank Hurley's iconic photographs of the battlefield (though Hurley's portraits were mainly of Australian soldiers), but even these are ultimately undermined by an ending that takes allegory into utter absurdity as our wounded hero carries a crucified soldier through Flanders mud as all the guns fall silent, a scene that's hard to watch without hearing John Wayne's voice in your head saying "Aw, truly this man wuz tha son of God."
Thankfully this is a lot better than Canada's last shot in the blockbuster stakes, the woeful and risible Battle of the Brave/Nouvelle France, and it's not the total misfire of Joyeaux Noel or the utter disaster of The Trench, but it is ultimately just a common-or-garden war movie: okay if you're in a undemanding mood, but constantly failing every chance to be more. For all the clichés it does work in fits and starts, but it's very much an old-fashioned war movie of the kind that would have been made in the 50s rather than the great film it at times seems to think it is. It's very easy to see it being made with the cast of D-Day: The 6th of June - Dana Andrews in the Gross role, Dana Wynter in the Dhavernas one, Edmond O'Brien as the jaded Canadian commander, Richard Todd as the British recruiting officer... But even in 1956 they'd have baled at that scene with the cross.
Unlike the Canadian and Asian DVDs, this UK release is also presented in the wrong ratio - near 1.85:1 rather than the original 2.35:1 - giving you just one more reason to wait until it turns up on TV.
This film started remarkably well and for the first hour or so was quite enjoyable - some of the scenes set in Canada were breathtaking in the Minema...
However, the last half hour was an embarrassing, absurd farce.... four quid wasted... I spilt me beer on the floor too.... noooo:

Cause Celebre, Terence Rattigan. This was apparently his last play premiered in 1977; he died four months later. Based on a 1935 trial it tells the story of a woman who scandalised society by having an affair with a lad of seventeen which led to the murder of her husband... but, by whom?
Excellent acting as you might expect and a searing critique of hypocritical moral indignity from those around her, the press and the public at large.

Do NOT get this out on DVD if it ever makes it to that format. I suspect the person doesn't exist who would have the necessary patience to sit through this piece of Art movie in a home setting with all the distractions around. I doubt it will ever make it to a cinema near you unless you have the sort of place that enjoys showing last year's Reykjavík International Film Festival winner ;).
To say that it's slow would be an understatement, glacial would be closer. There is no dialogue and no story in the conventional sense of the word. It's not funny and there's definitley no shagging. A reviewer on IMDb gave this:
Quote
Run, don't walk, from this movie. It is excruciatingly boring and this from a person who likes slow movies. Think minimum of one-minute-long takes focused on the same subject where absolutely nothing happens. The message was supposed to be quite deep, I suppose, but it really wasn't "all that" – instead rather mundane. Numerous flaws were evident – the same goat wasn't even used throughout "the goat's" life (you could see from its markings), and at one point you could see that it was tied up so that it couldn't go far where instead it was supposed to have been stuck in a ditch. The landscape and village shots were supposed to be very beautiful, but actually they were nothing special and the colour washed out, at that. At one of the scenes which was supposed to be beautiful, I actually closed my eyes to rest from the crushing monotony of the film...
Alternatively, if you like goats, there are plenty of them and some stunning, Calabrian landscape. I had worked out that Le Quattro Volte means 'the four turns' and this is the key to unlocking the riddle that is the film. If you're feeling in a meditative and reflective mood and fancy pondering the Pythagorean conjecture or four reincarnations then set aside a few hours to go and see it.
IMDb gives it 7.5 / 10 ... I imagine a VP rating would be more like ::) ::) ::) ::)

Not quite. I'd say the monotony of the old goatherd's life fails miserably compared to the high jinx of being born again as a goat ;D . But, and this is stretching the 4 reincarnations theory to the limit, being born again as a fir tree has it's moments ... until of course the local village decide you're the one for the celebrations and you become denuded, cut down and climbed upon sad32:
Finally, we all end up as charcoal and I must say that segment of the film was fascinating and beautifully filmed razz:

Deus Ex Human Revolution is the long awaited third game in the Deus Ex franchise and the prequel to the original game. Set in a dystopian near future where cybernetic augmentation is common but controversial with human purity groups squaring off against the corporations, you play Adam Jensen the security manager for a biotechnology firm that is just about to make a huge breakthrough when it is attacked by unknown assailants. Critically wounded and left for dead you are augmented in order to save your life and then begin a crusade to find those responsible for the attack.
As with the others in the franchise the game plays in first person perspective apart from when you use the cover system when it changes to third person and allows you multiple ways to complete your missions whether you like to hack security to get past, sneak around, find alternate routes or just blast through your opponents, there is no right or wrong way although there can be consequences to your actions later as the story progresses.
The world is rich and diverse and you can see where the designers drew their inspiration from, there are a number of subtle tips of the hat to science fiction films and authors from login details on computers to conversation you can eavesdrop. The game also does well setting the scene for the original games, The back story is incorporated well and also iintroduces some of the key characters from the other games. Manderly is mentioned in a number of emails you can read by hacking computers and you get to meet the young Tracer Tong.
The augmentation system works well instead of the traditional skills upgrade system seen in most RPGs, you can either upgrade naturally over time or buy/find praxis kits to further upgrade/unlock your augmentations. A number of kits are hidden in the game world so it is well worth exploring as much as possible. Jensen’s Augmentation powers give him options to persuade, see through walls, hack high security terminals or fall to the ground without injury and depending on how you upgrade yourself you can combine the effects of multiple augmentations, for example using upgraded sight to see an opponent through a wall and then punching through it to deal with him.
The core elements of the franchise are here, and in some areas improved over their predecessors. More dialogue options and the interesting persuasion system fits perfectly into the franchise. The open levels can present a wide array of options and you might find yourself going back to engage enemies. Even the Augmentation system has been carefully worked to enhance the options. My only real gripe about the game would be that if feels short, although with the announcement that three city hubs had been cut from the game due to production constraints Montreal, Upper Hengsha and an Indian city hub it sounds like there is going to be a raft of DLC to further expand the storyline and game world, the first of which comes out next month.
All in all this is an intelligent, well designed game with plenty of replay value due to the various ways you can complete the missions. Certainly one I’d recommend.

Went to see it at the cinema when it came out (1966) but it is still supposed to be one of the best motor racing movies ever released... :thumbsup:
Quote
Forty years on, Grand Prix is still the best motor racing film ever made. The cars may be faster now, filming techniques improved and special effects more advanced, yet the film still has a truly epic scale and a feeling of veracity down to the last gear change that would be impossible to duplicate today. It feels real because much of it is real, the actors (with the exception of Brian Bedford) doing much of the driving themselves, with the production even entering cars in real races to seamlessly match footage. The real danger is only underlined by the fact that so many of the professional drivers in the film died racing themselves (ten in the decade following the filming alone). The crashes are there, along with the knowledge that that's what many in the crowd come for, but more than that, each race has a different character: more than just a different look, they're almost tone poems at times, one race from the driver's seat, another from a spectator's, another almost inside a character's head. Yet throughout, unlike later films, you always have a clear idea of what is going on and what point the race scenes are trying to make. The sequences have clearly been thought through and designed both emotionally as well as visually, with the great use of long lenses to establish scale and speed as cars drift in and out of focus giving the film a feel at once realistic and almost dreamlike (an impression further heightened in Saul Bass' almost balletic split-screen sequence). It's still a remarkably good looking film, too, not least because it was made at a time when the cars still looked like bullets rather than vacuum cleaners.

Quote from: Amazon
The prohibition of alcohol in the USA was a notorious fiasco. The War on Drugs has been a deadly failure. Bans on alternative nicotine products keep people smoking cigarettes. Attempts to suppress legal highs result in more drugs hitting the market. Prohibition doesn't work but the world is filled with prohibitionists. Why? Christopher Snowdon's new history of prohibitions is a panoramic study of how bans begin, who instigates them and why they fail. It is a story of moral panics, vested interests and popular hysteria, driven by people who believe that utopia is only ever one ban away. Includes: The campaign for alcohol prohibition in the USA The worldwide ban on opium and the dawn of the War on Drugs The curious case of the European Union's ban on oral tobacco (snus) The 1920s crusade to suppress drinking worldwide The prohibition of Ecstasy and the rise of designer drugs The enduring appeal of prohibitionist policies today

Finished reading it last night ~ a most entertaining book in true Boris style.
Some of his history may be a little suspect but never the less many facts about London and various inhabitants down the ages causing "Well I never knew that" moments.
Not a book for the academic but worth a read for entertainment value.

Most enjoyable film - same inevitable conclusion with anything about politics. However principled you start out power corrupts and you inevitably need to compromise on just about everything !!!!
However it stars Ryan Gosling and I could do serious damage to that boy eyes:

Watched this film last night .
Tilda Swinton was excellent . She is the mother of a boy who from an early age appears to be disturbed , evil, manipulative, remote etc. Her husband remains oblivious and his relationship with the boy he thinks is fine. Raises the question are some people just born like this?
Uncomfortable viewing at times and the symbolism a bit unnecessary and clumsy at others but on the whole excellent performances from all .

Prometheus - storyline was really disappointing and weak. No stand out acting performances noooo: Lots of cliches noooo:
A bit harsh. I liked this though I thought it was bit of a missed opportunity in some ways.
Interestingly, I see that Scott's next film will be a sequel to Blade Runner.
He must be going through a phase of making sequels to his own films. If he tries to make a sequel to 'Robin Hood' I may have him assassinated.

TG what did you make of why the alien at the beginning committed suicide - what was the relevance ?
Was he upset with his own kind or was it a more insidious reason ?
I was confuslimicated by that whacky115
I assumed this was the aliens way of injecting its DNA into the human race. Assuming that sequence was set on Earth rather than on the alien planet. Who knows?
I saw this in 3d and the only time I noticed it was in 3d was the navigation bit where the robot bloke got all the answers. Otherwise 3d was unnecessary and pointless.
I rather liked the warning message at the end that became the 'distress' signal that drew in Ripley and 3 sequels.
Having said all that I will buy myself a BluRay copy of this and watch it again nor did I feel robbed at the cinema price.
Post by: Grumpmeister on June 16, 2012, 05:55:52 PM
I didn't think the film was that bad. certainly better than the AVP prequel efforts. I think you are right about the sequel(s) though, something tells me this is less a prequel and more a reboot of the whole franchise.
The start of the film does look like it was either their way to seed DNA onto a planet or someone who was already infected committing suicide before it was too late.

Wasn't in long enough to read more than a chapter or six I have been spending my evenings with my new pipes, a bowl of Players 965 mixture and my feet up re-reading books from years ago.
A most excellent way of spending an evening cloud9:

The script, needless to say, is one, long zinger, parodying high-falutin' costume-drama diction with an exquisite mixture of savagery and scatology. I loved Edmund's excruciating comparison of his first and second wives' pudenda: "Arabelle was smooth as ham – nature did not busy her broken mound with such a black and forceful brush". And Dorothy's sombre update on her master's mother's medical condition: "Her bowel has still not spoken, Sir ... though I fancy I caught a whisper

Quote from: Amazon
I've read all the books and 'yes' in print Jack's a big lad and Tom's only little but I was willing to forgive this piece of anachronistic casting and give this movie a fair go.After all even a below par Reacher novel is still a cut above anything else out there.
So far so good. Starts well, moves along at a brisk pace and when Jack/Tom confronts five thugs in the street, explains to them how the fight is going to go down and then proceeds to take them apart I'm starting to think' Hey, perhaps Tom is Jack Reacher despite the obvious limitations in stature.'
Then the wheels fall off.
There is a 'fight' scene in a bathroom that resembles a 3 stooges sketch with incompetent, comedy henchmen repeatedly hitting each other in a scene that wouldn't be out of place in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Then there is a perfunctory and yet seemingly endless car chase shoehorned into proceedings before Rosamund Pike turns into a helpless, doe-eyed victim and the true villianous mastermind is revealed as a slightly dilapidated old bloke with no fingers.
Cue some gunplay, a fist fight, some exposition, a metaphorical ride into the sunset and roll the end credits.
This movie was bad in a way that Lee Childs creation didn't deserve and Mr. Cruises height has nothing to do with it. It's all to do with a bad script, poor directing and bland, formulaic, Hollywood-mill production.
^^^ Is about right noooo: ^^^

Quote from: Amazon
Jason Statham plays Parker, a thief and sometimes killer with his own set of ethics. After he is double crossed and left for dead, he decides to go after the clowns that did him wrong. But ZOIKS! The really bad guys have major Chicago gangster connections. He is advised against the action by his silent partner Nick Nolte, whose daughter (Emma Booth) Jason has a relationship.
On the trail of the bad guys, Parker uses Leslie (Jennifer Lopez) a down on her luck, cut throat, high end real estate agent, who also likes to play amateur detective. Parker is resilient as bullets, knives, jumping out of a moving vehicle, and broken ribs only slows him down a step. Classic Statham "performance" for better or worse.
I don't need to mention the no surprise ending. It's a Statham film. The fun part is the tough guy getting us there.
Parental guide: occasional F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Jennifer Lopez bra/panties. Jason and Emma in shower together with discreet camera angels and arm placement.

Quote from: Amazon
I watched this film in a state of unease, for it is unconvincing. Anthony Hopkins is not speaking to anyone after doing a bit of Gorillas-in-the-mist-style bonding with apes. Cuba Gooding Junior starts to get through to him and eventually gets the truth about his past from him.
Very sentimental and very pro-conservation this film bends reality to prove its point. Every turn is heavy handed and will have many audiences, zoologists, and psychologists screaming at the films many'Oh come on' moments. Hopkin's relationship with his daughter was the only bit I liked.
Cynical viewers should steer well clear.

Killing season is the story of two Bosnian war veterans, Emil Kovac (John Travolta - Face/Off) and Benjamin Ford (Robert Deniro - Killer Elite). Both men are scarred by the experiences, literally and figuratively. Emil tracks Ben down to his remote cabin in the U.S. where he is living out his retirement in solitude, kept busy by photography and the upkeep of his humble abode (cue cliché wood-chopping). But when Emil drops in on the pretence of hunting in the area, the two begin to reminisce about their pasts, it becomes clear that there is a score to settle... who will come out on top?
Killing Season is a well, if predictably, filmed experience. The natural surrounds of the woods, river and soaring Condors give us some exceptionally picturesque vistas. The opening war scene shot through a sepia filter is cheesy even if it is dealing with the pretty harrowing theme of religious genocide. However the plot is pretty stilted and doesn't actually make much sense, with the two guys alternating who has the upper-hand and then losing it repeatedly but never actually finishing each other off despite being given the opportunity on a silver platter.
Travolta's accent is a bit wobbly but at least it's consistent - unlike the number of arrows in his quiver which seems to change at whim. We have time-travelling arrows, released by one actor in bright sunshine, yet hit their target on a grey-overcast day. Travolta's hair is laughable - it's sprayed on; you can see the reflection of a bulb in the sheen on his forehead, yet when he walks under said bulb, there is still the reflection on top of his head. It looks like a bowling ball it's so ridiculous that it's actually distracting.
There is the tenuous inclusion of the religious theme as Benjamin (De Niro) has lost his way and the final showdown happens (predictably) in a chapel in the middle of the woods and by the end nothing is settled or changed and it really left me wondering why I bothered investing the preceding 1hr30 mins. These are two ageing Hollywood greats and even their names didn't carry this enough to make it anything other than a small-time cinema release. It's not the worst, but it's a long way from their best.

But when Emil drops in on the pretence of hunting in the area, the two begin to reminisce about their pasts, it becomes clear that there is a score to settle... who will come out on top?
Killing Season is a well, if predictably, filmed experience. The natural surrounds of the woods, river and soaring Condors give us some exceptionally picturesque vistas. The opening war scene shot through a sepia filter is cheesy even if it is dealing with the pretty harrowing theme of religious genocide. However the plot is pretty stilted and doesn't actually make much sense, with the two guys alternating who has the upper-hand and then losing it repeatedly but never actually finishing each other off despite being given the opportunity on a silver platter.
Travolta's accent is a bit wobbly but at least it's consistent - unlike the number of arrows in his quiver which seems to change at whim. We have time-travelling arrows, released by one actor in bright sunshine, yet hit their target on a grey-overcast day. Travolta's hair is laughable - it's sprayed on; you can see the reflection of a bulb in the sheen on his forehead, yet when he walks under said bulb, there is still the reflection on top of his head. It looks like a bowling ball it's so ridiculous that it's actually distracting.
There is the tenuous inclusion of the religious theme as Benjamin (De Niro) has lost his way and the final showdown happens (predictably) in a chapel in the middle of the woods and by the end nothing is settled or changed and it really left me wondering why I bothered investing the preceding 1hr30 mins. These are two ageing Hollywood greats and even their names didn't carry this enough to make it anything other than a small-time cinema release. It's not the worst, but it's a long way from their best.

Top tip for terrorists etc in action films:
If you don't want the hero to find and defuse your bomb seconds before it goes off, don't fit it with a bright red flashing light and a large 1970's digital clock counting down.
Or set it so that it actually explodes at 5:00 instead of 0:00 so they think they have plenty of time to find and cut the red wire.... Thumbs:

We apparently HAD to go see it as "the next espipode of that TV series won't make sense otherwise" Well the reviews were OK, seemed an ideal antidote to a shite day yesterday but there was just one tiny flaw: it is utter shite. Don't even watch it for free. Worst film I have paid to see since that Connery/Thurman fiasco of the Avengers
And then I checked the phone and saw the footie went even worse.

A common failure of police/prison drama was repeated tho... When Micky Donovan is released from
The first thing he does is to take his watch out of the bag, slip it on his wrist and close the clasp...
I can't help but think that after 20 years the watch would a) probably not fit and b) would need a little looking at to remind yourself how the clasp worked...

Quote
The Counsellor is a film with one aim, to win as many Oscars as it can. The only problem with this overly ambitious aim? It isn't any good despite the A-List director and all-star cast. The main problem of this film can be summed up in one word, boring, because that's exactly what this film is.
At 117 minutes long this film felt like it was 3 hours long film. To be honest I hadn't a clue what the plot was about before seeing this film and I still only have a vague idea. It seems the counsellor as everyone calls him including his girlfriend is getting involved in a drug deal with Javier Bardem and gets the money from Brad Pitt. In a completely separate incident, someone steals a shipment of drugs from The Cartel. The Cartel believes that it was the counsellor as he made a phone call to get the son of his court appointed client out of prison. The end.
Michael Fassbender does some excellent acting as the Counsellor and if the sole reason I went to see films were the acting then I would highly recommend this. Javier Bardems hair is brilliant, I like the style as the fact that he had two cheetahs, always was partying and had loads of nice cars didn't really drive home to me the fact that this guy lives carefree and dangerously. Brad Pitt is also great as the guy who at the start of the film tells the counsellor not to write stuff down but after one night with a beautiful woman gives over all his bank account details.
Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz have little to do. Although, Cameron Diaz does at one point in the film go to church.
Also, this film contains some of the most pointless cameos ever; the cameos are so pointless that I think the actors have just been given small roles. In hindsight, I don't think they were cameos. Anyway, look out for Breaking Bad's Hank Schrader and ER's Dr. Luka Kovac.
Overall, The Counsellor is one of those boring pretentious films you always see around Oscar season only when the Oscars do come around this film is unlikely to be nominated in anyway as it is overly boring with a story that doesn't engage at all. In the end you simply don't care what happens to any of the characters.
See! cloud9:

It's full of things that are clearly impossible/unlikely to those that know a little about space science and history but surely that's what Science Fiction is all about. IMHO it is just so realistic in 3D but I don't think it'd work on a second viewing as yes the basic plot and dialogue are thin. So no 3D Blu Ray player for me just yet - even if they're under £70 now eeek:

Quote from: Amazon
In the late ‘60s, a musician was discovered in a Detroit bar by two celebrated producers who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics. They recorded an album that they believed was going to secure his reputation as one of the greatest recording artists of his generation. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, the album bombed and the singer disappeared into obscurity amid rumors of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and, over the next two decades, it became a phenomenon. Two South African fans then set out to find out what really happened to their hero. Their investigation led them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. This is a film about hope, inspiration and the resonating power of music.

I like reading the Amazon reviews.... with hindsight, I should have checked them first....
Quote from: Amazon
Although it is curiously described as a thriller, it had all the makings of an interesting historical drama with a good dose of humour running through it with that cast, but it doesn't hit either side. One minute it felt like it was going in the direction of Saving Private Ryan and Schindlers List, but didnt have the gravitas or drama to pull it off, only to abruptly switch scenes which were more reminiscent of Indiana jones but without the humour or sense of adventure. By the time you revisit the "dramatic" scene you've forgotten where they are, what they're doing and why you should care. The music doesn't fit either. I sympathise with the composer because the film can't decide what it wants to be. Getting your teeth stuck into a single theme for long enough to illicit any sort of appropriate response from the audience would've been impossible for the composer.
I'm not sure three steaming turds is enough..... noooo:

Yes I know it's a Tom Cruise film, yes i know it sort of uses the Groundhog Day device but for those that like SF action films it's a cracker with some clever twists. Good use of 3D too. And both Cruise and (Emily) Blunt are excellent.

Quote from: Amazon
Begins so well, subtle details of modern british life etc then falls into gross-out black comedy that is so cheap, you can neither laugh or take it seriously. In fact, it undoes all the good work it sets up at the beginning of the film by indulging itself in so many 'shocking' moments that it comes across as desperate to be cool. It's as funny and as 'shocking' as a 12 year old who has just discovered swearing. Embarrassing film and a massive waste of an opportunity for something greater. Not in the same league as so many other quality British films out there and certainly nowhere near the brilliant Nuts in May.
Despite it's indie quirks, Sightseers lacks joy and soul.

I thought it was alright but not much of a story and getting a bit bored of Brad Pitt playing the same character
No, the story as such was a bit crap and it was a bit too 'Hollywood' throughout....
But I thought the action scenes were very realistic - gave a very good idea what it must have been like to go to war in a tank (fucking awful)...
Surprisingly, after such graphic depictions of death and mutilation throughout the film, the effect on Pitt of being trapped in the tank along with two exploding Stielhandgranate was quite minor! ;D

This sums up my thoughts....
Quote from: Amazon
There is no doubting that some of the scenes in this film are beautiful and provide a great backdrop and insight to Turners work. This film will also be remembered for Timothy Spall's brilliant portrayal of the man himself, however, as a film to sit back and enjoy it falls short of the mark. The film feels like it is aimed at the critics who will examine and delight over the small details and technicalities but for the average viewer who wants to delve into a flowing film and well told story it does not do the job. I feel this film does not match the hype.

Set as a companion piece/sequel to 300, the story pitches Themistokles of Athens (complete with an accent so bland that it makes Sean Connery's in the Hunt for Red October seem like a work of art) against the Persian general Artemisia who can only be described as an insatiable, self loathing, psychotic goth. Although it tries to use the same visual style film itself doesn't have the same feel as 300 and feels more like a series of very well choreographed CGI battle scenes than an actual story although Eva Green's performance as Artemisia is certainly worth a look.

Quote from: IMDB
I am a massive Terminator 1 and 2 fan, I disliked 3 and 4 a lot and I really thought this would be terrible as well!
However I turned out to be wrong! Dead Wrong!
This film has the best Arnold character of them all! He is the most 'human' towards Sarah and I really loved that connection, I can see many people liking it also. It was reminiscent of John Connor and Arnold from T2 which I just saw today... I remember seeing the first trailer and having many problems. I thought the story line was too complicated and wasn't respectful of the older films and I thought the visuals were bad.
I was wrong in both cases. The story pays massive respect to James Camerons first two classics! And it wasn't complicated for me. It was a fun story and kept my eyes on the screen. Also the visuals... wow the visuals... I know people said that we will never be shocked again by visuals like we were in T2 and the first Jurassic Park! But the young T800 looks too good to ignore. Wow! The best animation I've ever seen, I can't see the difference between him and the real one.
This is a fun, humorous, emotional action flick that shouldn't be ignored! I loved it! And you know what, I'm not ashamed! Alan Taylor deserves praise!
P.S. I love the soundtrack, I hand it to Lorne Balfe who I know makes great soundtracks from Assassins creed!
I enjoyed it most muchly.... :thumbsup:

Basically the aforementioned prince of darkness has become completely disillusioned with his role as the lord of Hell and decided to jack it all in, ending up in LA where he is happily running a nightclub. This changes one night when an associate of his is gunned down in his arms so he takes it upon himself to work with the police to find the killer. Realising he enjoys what he is doing he then continues working with the detective while trying to figure out why she has had such an effect on him. The show is at its best when Decker and Lucifer are interacting, trying to one up each other and figure the other out. It’s their relationship that grounds this show while also making it enormously entertaining.
Ellis does a good job of making Lucifer someone you'd probably enjoy having a drink with but would more then likely regret the aftermath and the way he deals with some of the more irritating aspects of life will likely raise a laugh. The whole bit about coming back to the club and finding out that someone had stolen his identity and gone on a spending spree was brilliantly done.
Not sure where they will end up taking it but so far overall I'd say it's worth a look. Thumbs:

Been watching the first few episodes of Lucifer on Amazon, quite possibly one of the oddest ideas for a show I've seen in a long time but there is certainly some potential.

It was visually superb in 1080p...
The action stuff (car chases, etc.) has no meaning any more... you have no idea if it was real or created in a computer... So for me it doesn't have that eeek: any more...
The story, dialogue and acting were terrible IMHO.... That nice Mr. Flemming must be spinning in his grave.... noooo:

There have been complaints that this was just a rehash of episode 4 and to be fair you can see more than a few similarities between the 2 films. From the force sensitive heroine coming from a desert world to the rehash of the death star trench run but it works with the new storyline.
The only part of the film which I think could have been done better was Luke's appearance at the end. There is meant to be this powerful scene when having located him he turns around and the heroine hands him his lightsabre. THe only problam was that as soon as he turned around and revealed his face my immediate reaction was "BLOODY HELL!!! OLIVER REED IS A JEDI!!" Whoever decided that the character needed that beard to look old and wise needs to go to specsavers. lol:

Finally got around to watching The Force Awakens and I'll admit to being pleasantly surprised. I had been half expecting Disney to make a total pigs ear of the franchise but this is a promising start. The new additions to the cast work well and I'm curious to see where the character development goes with them. Killing off a major character was always going to be a risky idea, even when the actor in question wanted it done but the scene played out well. The action set pieces were all well done and didn't lose the feel of the original trilogy.:thumbsup:

Finally got around to watching The Force Awakens and I'll admit to being pleasantly surprised. I had been half expecting Disney to make a total pigs ear of the franchise but this is a promising start. The new additions to the cast work well and I'm curious to see where the character development goes with them. Killing off a major character was always going to be a risky idea, even when the actor in question wanted it done but the scene played out well. The action set pieces were all well done and didn't lose the feel of the original trilogy.:thumbsup:
There have been complaints that this was just a rehash of episode 4 and to be fair you can see more than a few similarities between the 2 films. From the force sensitive heroine coming from a desert world to the rehash of the death star trench run but it works with the new storyline.
The only part of the film which I think could have been done better was Luke's appearance at the end.

Well, that is an interesting take on it... I particularly liked: -
Quote
Strangely, no one mentioned the huge exploitation of workers, including children, which that entailed. Perhaps the Sadlers Committee Report of 1832, which revealed the dire treatment of children in textiles mills and factories, was a piece of fiction and it was all peace, love and money during the Industrial Revolution.
Rather desperate I would have thought as the film argues that it all started to go Pete Tong for the UK because of over-regulation brought about by the First and then The Second World Wars...
Still, would be interested on your take on it.
Post by: Steve on May 14, 2016, 10:34:33 AM
.. .Still, would be interested on your take on it.
Well watched it all, much of it twice
Short verdict: all seems to be preaching to the choir and not the congregation
In more detail:
If there's a killer argument for leaving the EU it's why pay £140 per man woman and child to have 2 million and more each foreigners undermining our jobs market and overloading our services.
This film didn't even once allude to that focussing instead on the obvious that if we wanted a free trading block in Europe we wouldn't start from here. Well no shit Sherlock. Farage, Davis and Hannan came over well as did the presenter but many of the faces did not. There was too much xenophobia, chip on shoulder paranoia and disingenuity thrown in. Kate Hooey in effect saying we should leave because she is ignorant wasn't good and the guy at the end saying it'd be better to have to eat grass than be in the EU does rather lead the neutral observer to think that leaving might be that bad. And to echo the Huffington Post comment, for many it could be that bad if the libertarian themes behind the film came to pass with its praising of 19th century Britain.
As for deploring that we regulate children's toys so there's no lead paint to suck, sharp edges to cut or choking hazards to kill, well that was a big fat own goal.
I repeat there's a strong case to leave the EU, this film made all the wrong ones. Its net effect might be exactly what its backers didn't want.

Something about even the positive reviews indicated it wasn't worth forking out to see it at the cinema.
Terrible, just terrible... noooo:
It'll be free to watch by Christmas, not sure I'll bother even then based on your review.
It was visually superb in 1080p...
The action stuff (car chases, etc.) has no meaning any more... you have no idea if it was real or created in a computer... So for me it doesn't have that eeek: any more...
The story, dialogue and acting were terrible IMHO.... That nice Mr. Flemming must be spinning in his grave.... noooo:
It is utter shite... and completely unbelievable.... noooo:
But, hey, it's not real life and if you don't take it too seriously, it's a good filum and I enjoyed it... :thumbsup:

I will admit, after seeing what had been done with Episode 7 (introducing Darth Emo and recycling huge plot sections of New Hope and Empire Strikes Back I wasn’t overly confident about this film but being able to introduce an almost entirely new and diverse cast with a couple of exceptions has allowed Rogue One to slide neatly into the existing plot of the original Star Wars trilogy (technically you could call it episode 3 ½).
The pace is quick, moving from setting to setting, while at the same time, keeping plot details simple and easy follow. The Rebels find out about the Death Star after being sent a message by the protagonist’s father and ends up with a mission to obtain the plans for the station. While you can argue that it isn’t as fleshed out as the other Star Wars films it was only about a single event leading up to Episode 4 and so that was bound to be the case.
Existing characters have also made an appearance in one form or another, the CGI Peter Cushing used to reprise the role of Governor Tarquin was extremely well done. You can still tell it’s CGI but the level of detail and texturing makes me think that we are about a year away at most of having CGI characters in films that you can’t tell aren’t real actors.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Grand_Moff_Tarkin.png)
The only one that didn’t seem right was Vader. I first remember watching A New Hope as a kid and being terrified of him and even when I was older it was clear that teaming David Prowse with James Earl Jones had given the series a character with a hell of a presence. This time around you don’t get that feeling, partly I think because on the one close up of him I was wondering if his helmet had been a Poundland special.
Overall for the first of the spinoff films that Disney has planned for the franchise it was a good effort and hopefully bodes well for their 1 film a year plan.
And now for Assassin's Creed
Having seen it get panned by the critics I wasn’t expecting to be overly impressed with Assassins Creed. Historically video game adaptations have a curse of being seen as garbage primarily because with very few exceptions Hollywood directors aren’t gamers. This is especially evident in the case of Ewe Bolle who is probably unique in the fact that over 200,000 people signed a petition asking him to stop making films.
At this point I should point out I'm a fan of the franchise and have played most of the games in the series. redface:
I have to admit however, that this was a fun action flick and it does a good job in capturing the essence of the games, switching between modern day and reliving the past through his ancestor’s genetic memories. And for fans of the game there are plenty of easter eggs hidden throughout the film such as Rebecca's baby in the background of the Animus room.
The basic plot is that death-row inmate Callum Lynch is executed for killing a pimp. He then wakes up in a research facility in Madrid owned by Abstergo Industries, the present-day incarnation of the shadowy Templars, where he's drugged, hooked up to the Animus, a device that allows you to experience the memories of your ancestors…., and virtually reincarnated as his ancestor Aguilar de, Nerha who in the 15th-century lead a secret society of assassins in a mission to capture the "Apple of Eden" from the Knights Templar to protect the right of free will., during the Spanish Inquisition.
Visually it’s a stunning film, with the 15th century sections filled with swooping camera movements during scenes where Aguilar and fellow assassin Maria leap across rooftops and through buildings, slicing and dicing whatever gets in the way of their good fight, Assassin's Creed catches the dizzying allure you want in a game and a movie
The film blatantly sets itself up for a sequel so if that does happen it will be interesting to see how they flesh out the other aspects of the precursors that made the game plots so engaging.
While perhaps not for everyone, fans of the will certainly enjoy it.

I have to admit however, that this was a fun action flick and it does a good job in capturing the essence of the games, switching between modern day and reliving the past through his ancestor’s genetic memories. And for fans of the game there are plenty of easter eggs hidden throughout the film such as Rebecca's baby in the background of the Animus room.
The basic plot is that death-row inmate Callum Lynch is executed for killing a pimp. He then wakes up in a research facility in Madrid owned by Abstergo Industries, the present-day incarnation of the shadowy Templars, where he's drugged, hooked up to the Animus, a device that allows you to experience the memories of your ancestors…., and virtually reincarnated as his ancestor Aguilar de, Nerha who in the 15th-century lead a secret society of assassins in a mission to capture the "Apple of Eden" from the Knights Templar to protect the right of free will., during the Spanish Inquisition.
Visually it’s a stunning film, with the 15th century sections filled with swooping camera movements during scenes where Aguilar and fellow assassin Maria leap across rooftops and through buildings, slicing and dicing whatever gets in the way of their good fight, Assassin's Creed catches the dizzying allure you want in a game and a movie
The film blatantly sets itself up for a sequel so if that does happen it will be interesting to see how they flesh out the other aspects of the precursors that made the game plots so engaging.
While perhaps not for everyone, fans of the will certainly enjoy it.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:Decided to do something for my birthday that I haven't done since I was a kid and do a double cinema stint seeing Star Wars Rogue 1 and Assassins Creed.Barry Norman lives! worthy:
I will admit, after seeing what had been done with Episode 7 (introducing Darth Emo and recycling huge plot sections of New Hope and Empire Strikes Back I wasn’t overly confident about this film but being able to introduce an almost entirely new and diverse cast with a couple of exceptions has allowed Rogue One to slide neatly into the existing plot of the original Star Wars trilogy (technically you could call it episode 3 ½).
The pace is quick, moving from setting to setting, while at the same time, keeping plot details simple and easy follow. The Rebels find out about the Death Star after being sent a message by the protagonist’s father and ends up with a mission to obtain the plans for the station. While you can argue that it isn’t as fleshed out as the other Star Wars films it was only about a single event leading up to Episode 4 and so that was bound to be the case.
Existing characters have also made an appearance in one form or another, the CGI Peter Cushing used to reprise the role of Governor Tarquin was extremely well done. You can still tell it’s CGI but the level of detail and texturing makes me think that we are about a year away at most of having CGI characters in films that you can’t tell aren’t real actors.

The only one that didn’t seem right was Vader. I first remember watching A New Hope as a kid and being terrified of him and even when I was older it was clear that teaming David Prowse with James Earl Jones had given the series a character with a hell of a presence. This time around you don’t get that feeling, partly I think because on the one close up of him I was wondering if his helmet had been a Poundland special.
Overall for the first of the spinoff films that Disney has planned for the franchise it was a good effort and hopefully bodes well for their 1 film a year plan.
And now for Assassin's Creed
Having seen it get panned by the critics I wasn’t expecting to be overly impressed with Assassins Creed. Historically video game adaptations have a curse of being seen as garbage primarily because with very few exceptions Hollywood directors aren’t gamers. This is especially evident in the case of Ewe Bolle who is probably unique in the fact that over 200,000 people signed a petition asking him to stop making films.

Grumpeister Stylee Review*
We've all experienced the same monotonous train commute to work in our lives at some point. You go by the same places and see the same faces each and every day. None of us have quite had a commute that changes our lives quite like Rachel Watson in The Girl on the Train though.
Emily Blunt stars as Rachel Watson, an alcoholic divorcée who takes the same train to work each day. On her journey, Rachel fantasises about the relationship of Scott (Luke Evans) and Megan Hipwell (Haley Bennett), who live a few doors down from her ex-husband, Tom (Justin Theroux), and his new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson).
Rachel's unstable state leads her on a downward spiral that sees her embroiled in a missing persons investigation that will change her life forever.
Based on the best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train is a mystery thriller that reminded me of David Fincher's Gone Girl, which is not a bad thing at all. Now, while I don't think this is a better film than Gone Girl, I do think it serves up a worthy mystery that kept me guessing right up until the twist/reveal later on in the story.
The narrative is told from the point of view of the three main female characters; Rachel, Anna and Megan. It could have easily become quite convoluted and messy yet Erin Cressida Wilson's screenplay allows things to move along smoothly and without any confusion.
A lot of my hopes for this film were depending on the twist/reveal that would undoubtedly arrive in a mystery like this. Thankfully I can say that it was very well done and actually offered something totally different to what I was expecting. Yes, it gets a little far-fetched in the final act but if you go with it, The Girl on the Train really is a suspenseful watch.
Coming to the performances, The Girl on the Train features a great lead performance from Emily Blunt and a solid supporting cast, Haley Bennett and Rebecca Ferguson jumping on the paranoia train with Emily Blunt to great effect.
So, if you're a fan of either mysteries or thrillers, The Girl on the Train will be a journey you want to go on. If not, best to wait at the platform for the next train.

"Critical response
The Girl on the Train received mixed reviews from critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 43% based on 226 reviews, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Emily Blunt's outstanding performance isn't enough to keep The Girl on the Train from sliding sluggishly into exploitative melodrama"
But have to say Emily Blunt is a brilliant Actress

Got roped into the Oscars competition at work and as there were films on there I'd never even heard of much less seen I had a look at the Golden Globes results to get some ideas when I noticed that musicals and comedy films seemed to have a joint category which would mean that Deadpool and La La Land went head to head....

Just watched 10 Cloverfield Lane (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179933/?ref_=nv_sr_1)
Utter shite... noooo:
Take back utter shite - I've just read the perfect review of it...
Quote
I'll leave this review fairly concise.
This film was originally called "the cellar" the premise being what we see for the first 90% of "10 cloverfield lane": an excellent, brilliantly-scripted thriller set in an underground bunker, the tension lying in the "goodie-or-baddie" mystery that is the owner of the bunker, Howard. He is telling our hero, Michelle, that she cannot leave because the air outside is not breathable due to an attack, probably nuclear. She wants to leave because she suspects that Howard is insane.
That premise right there is perfect. Is Howard telling the truth? Is he a deranged kidnapper? Will Michelle eventually decide to leave? Is the air really breathable outside? The magnitude of that intrigue would have made for a brilliant film.
Would have.
This is when JJ Abrams and bad robot came in and basically did what they do with the end of every single project they ever take on. Ruin it. Ruin it absolutely horrifically. They have clearly seen monetary value in the name "cloverfield" and are insisting on making it a franchise. Do we expect monsters going into this film? Yes. Do we get them? Yes. Was it necessary? Absolutely one million percent no.
10 minutes from the end of what had been a gripping film, we finally see Michelle leave, and escape the bunker. She realises that the air is still breathable. Now, "pre-abrams" as I'll refer to it, this would've been an excellent ending. A bittersweet tale of abuse, of loneliness from Howard's point of view, of revenge, of victory. But with a huge psychological trauma to go home with. Honestly this film would be perfect had it ended here. But it wasn't to be.
This is when the aliens come. We seem to in the blink of an eye turn from "the cellar", a brilliantly told thriller, into an Abrams, overly-Hollywood, big budget cringefest. For me, it wasn't the moment the spaceship came on the screen, it was the moment our timid hero, portrayed brilliantly up until now, who'd just been crying uncontrollably with relief at the air still being breathable, suddenly turns stern action hero. She looks up and says "you have GOT to be kidding me", in the same emphatic way we've seen in 600 "five out of ten" films down the years.
I'm sorry, but you've just seen alien life. And that's your reaction? In what until now was a very realistic, well told suspense thriller? Not having it for a second. It was like we could see the moment Abrams took over. And it ruined what could have been a classic.
The remaining 9 minutes are nothing more than a glorified creature feature, culminating in our hero, who's suddenly lost all her emotions, driving off to help the "human resistance" fight against the aliens.
End of movie. What amazes me most is the number of critic reviews I've seen saying "the aliens are a metaphor for what is outside a person's lonely bubble of abuse" or some nonsense along those lines. Sorry guys but you're thinking WAY too much into it. This is a story of a money-grabbing company, who bought a perfectly good script, and ruined the ending with aliens.
I'm not entirely sure what I expected in all honesty. It's Abrams. I saw the ending to LOST and vowed never to make the mistake of investing my time in any of his projects again. Sure enough, I made the aforementioned mistake again and it's almost as bad as LOST was (minus the 5 years of my life id invested for the lovey-dovey, semi-religious, out-of- ideas cop out snoozefest that was the ending to LOST).
Abrams strikes me as one of those who inexplicably takes pride in disappointing his audiences, as if he feels he's somehow above them and that the negative reviews are just people who don't "get" him. I think in all honesty it's more a sign that he's just not very good at what he does.
My advice? Turn off when you see Michelle remove her oxygen mask. Pretend that's the end and you have your film of the year. Watch on for yet another example of "how to ruin a perfectly decent project: by JJ Abrams"
5/10. 10 for the first hour and a half, minus 5 for the last 10 minutes.

Set 4 months after the first film this one continues pretty much in the vein and even without the novelty, there is still enough fun and laughs to keep the audience amused. Baby Groot's dance number while all hell is breaking loose around him pretty much steals the opening scene and does carry on the dancing Grootlet/Drax scene from the original.
http://youtu.be/6dQK8TCTuTY (http://youtu.be/6dQK8TCTuTY)
As fun as the film is I think that if like me you haven't grown up with the comic series then the plot will seem to be a little erratic, lurching from one misadventure to the next until the megalomaniacal plot is revealed. Bringing back Yondu and Nebula as well as the addition of Mantis does change the dynamic of the film, especially the ones with Yondu and Rocket, giving more of an insight into the past of some of the characters as well as lining up a raft of insults and one liners throughout the proceedings.
Arguably I'd say this probably the funniest Marvel film released so far and given how grim the storyline is going to get during the upcoming infinity war trilogy is a good change of pace.
I will admit I'm curious to see if the Howard the Duck cameo means he's either being included in the infinity wars films or is getting a spin off of his own.
Overall it's flashy, colourful and fun, just as a warning though, there isn't just the one post credit scene this time.

Well I just got back from the midnight screening of Alien Covenant and I have to admit that I was pretty underwhelmed by the film. I wanted to like it, I really did. Hell I've been waiting for another good one in the series since Aliens so I was really looking forward to this when Ridley Scott said it was a return to the original format. It looked stunning but it was ponderous and predictable. There was so much potential in the plot that was sadly wasted, the interaction between Walter and David, what really happened with Shaw and David, the horror of the genocide of the engineers on the planet not to mention the fate of the members of the covenant crew most of it was simply rushed through in an attempt to try and build a sense of tension that never amounted to anything.
All in all it was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back again, on the bright side it was a staff ticket so didn't cost me anything.
I went to see Aliens at the cinema when it first came out and was underwhelmed by that... To be fair, it had been grossly over-hyped with stories of people running from cinemas screaming in terror... noooo:

I never watch a movie on an aeroplane for that very reason... all movies on 'planes have to be restricted so that any kid with a TV screen in front of them for five hours or more can watch them. I always take my own movies on a pad to watch on the plane...

In a bit more detail, like all Luc Besson films it's visually stunning. Unfortunately in order to cover the special effects budget the scriptwriting and casting departments had to make to with a fiver and whatever they could find down the back of the sofa.
The 2 lead 'stars', Cara
The much advertised role given to Rhianna was clearly crowbarred in just so they could say she was in it although I did like the irony of her character plummeting to her death down a garbage chute, a perfect mirror of her acting career.
The plot, such as it was, could have easily been condensed into 20 minutes although I'd say it was still 19 minutes too long and somehow manages to make Ed Wood and Uwe Boll films seem like cinematic classics. Maybe if I'd grown up reading the comics it would have been a better experience but somehow I doubt it.

That might be something to do with the reason the BBC won't let me replace Kermode as a movie critic, I may not be diplomatic enough for their tastes. As for the sisters, apparently they are supposed to look 'edgy'. Personally I think they just look gormless. noooo:

The film first got my attention after all the furore about having to have a female James Bond when Daniel Craig said he was leaving the role. I've always thought that casting the role shouldn't be governed by being able to tick a box but by who is best for the part. If you want to show equality then start a new franchise off in a similar vein and make it a success for it's own merits rather than coast along on something that has long been established.

Bloody hell!
I'll start this by saying that this is only part one of the story, Chapter 2 will cover when the kids have grown up and have to return to face Pennywise once more.
Set in Derry, Stephen King's version of small town America, the plot has been brought forward from the 1950's to 1988 and there is a strong 'Stand By Me' feel to the early part of the film. In fact The members of the Losers Club come across as natural and charismatic and there is an easy camaraderie between them. This is soon put to the test however when Pennywise starts making more appearances, and when he does he includes almost everything but the kitchen sink (although there is a scene with the one in the bathroom that puts Carrie to shame).
As with all Stephen King works there parts of the story that have been based upon obscure historical events, in this case the disappearance of the people who originally signed the town charter shares a clear parallel with the Roanoak colony mystery of 1585.
While Miss D will undoubtably disagree with me there is only so much you can do to make a clown truly horrific and Skarsgard does a blinding job with Pennywise, basically becoming the epitome of every scary clown meme that has ever made it into the media. Swapping between talking to kids in order to lure them away to turning into their worst nightmares or just attacking them with no warning whatsoever. Combine that with the work done by the special effects team and you end up with a monster is truly unnerving to watch. Having read the book and seen the Tim Curry version I knew that Georgie was going to be grabbed at the start of the film but there was no gentle 'ease you into the film' approach it was a brutal opening.
While I did find myself doing it you can't really compare the 2 portrayals of Pennywise as comparing Tim Curry's Pennywise to this one is like comparing Nickelson's Joker to Ledger's, both good but very different.
Speaking of Tim Curry if you keep an eye out you do see his version of Pennywise make an appearance during the film which I thought was a nice tip of the hat to him.
All in all the film is certainly worth a look and I'm eagerly waiting for chapter 2. :thumbsup:

Swapping between talking to kids in order to lure them away to turning into their worst nightmares or just attacking them with no warning whatsoever. Combine that with the work done by the special effects team and you end up with a monster is truly unnerving to watch. Having read the book and seen the Tim Curry version I knew that Georgie was going to be grabbed at the start of the film but there was no gentle 'ease you into the film' approach it was a brutal opening.
While I did find myself doing it you can't really compare the 2 portrayals of Pennywise as comparing Tim Curry's Pennywise to this one is like comparing Nickelson's Joker to Ledger's, both good but very different.
Speaking of Tim Curry if you keep an eye out you do see his version of Pennywise make an appearance during the film which I thought was a nice tip of the hat to him.
All in all the film is certainly worth a look and I'm eagerly waiting for chapter 2. :thumbsup:

"Mother is the kind of film that makes you want to walk out, demand your money back, then file for a restraining order that would forbid the director from coming within 500 miles of any filmmaking equipment again. The following groups of people should take care to avoid Mother at all cost: pregnant women, those with nervous constitutions or heart conditions, and anyone who happens to be burdened with good taste."

Currently listening to Bruce Dickinson's autobiography 'What Does This Button Do'. When the prologue has a tale of when one of his commercial flights was denied landing permission by a Russian air traffic controller and then threatened with being shot down if he didn't immediately leave their air space you can tell this is going to be fun to listen to.

Quote from: A Reviewer
"Wind River" is a gripping murder mystery-thriller written and directed by Taylor Sheridan (Best Original Screenplay Oscar nominee for "Hell or High Water") starring Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen and Graham Greene, featuring an unusually strong supporting cast that includes many fine Native American actors.
Renner and Olsen play a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tracker and an FBI agent, respectively, attempting to solve the murder of a young woman whose body is discovered by Renner under mysterious circumstances as he patrols the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.
The film scrupulously avoids clichés and is tightly edited with nary a wasted moment, yet never feels rushed or artificial in performance or plot. Everyone and everything is there for a reason, and best of all, the audience is given credit for being able to keep up and connect the dots.
The violence, which is absolutely necessary, is kept at a bare minimum as a narrative device, explaining and clarifying rather than assaulting the senses.
Every character, even the most heinous, is portrayed as a fully developed human being rather than as stereotype.
We learn how the Native American culture is victimized in a way that takes us inside their world and their souls, but the journey is skillfully handled and never heavy handed.
The photography is perfectly rendered, celebrating the icy Wyoming scenery in a muted style consistent with the mood of the story.
Renner, Olsen and Greene are excellent and believable, but in no small way this is an ensemble piece whose potency and effectiveness derive from the palpable passion and belief of everyone in front of and behind the camera.
This is an engrossing story well worth your time and money, and kudos to everyone involved for having faith that a discerning audience will find and appreciate it.

Quote from: A Reviewer
Richard Dreyfuss claims first portrayal of this monster, but he made Bernard out to be somewhat approachable, as he talked through the fourth wall and joked about the art of selling a scam. He was good but too likable. DeNiro is one of our great acting treasures and his take is nothing nice at all. In fact, it is impossible to like this man. He is evil here, and while one can have some sympathy for Ruth and her sons, the entire tragedy, almost out of Shakespeare, is well done. It bounces around a bit to the past and present, but easy to follow and under the direction of Barry Levinson, moves smartly. But don't watch this if you want a positive evening - hard film indeed. Shot of whiskey portrayal of a monster.

A sensational filum and absolutely beautiful visually... cloud9:
Quote from: A Reviewer
This beautiful work has made history in the genre of Animation cinema - a precious gift from devoted film-makers. The story is well known - a matter of history. Vincent painted the portrait of Joseph Roulin, Postmaster of Arles. The film tells us the story of Vincent's life and last months before his death on 29 July, 1890 (aged 37) from a self-inflicted gun-shot wound, via the device of the postmaster's son being sent on a mission to deliver a letter from Vincent to his brother, which has been returned. Vincent and his brother Theo were very close, and Theo supported Vincent with regular gifts of money, and painting canvas and tubes of paint. The postmaster Roulin knew and loved Vincent, because these two loving brothers kept up a very frequent correspondence. These letters have been published elsewhere and make very moving reading. The son of Roulin goes to Paris, and to Auvers-sur-Oise where Vincent had been in care after he had an emotional breakdown, and talks to people who knew him. He is at first unwilling, but becomes interested, then passionate to find out the truth of the man whom he is now starting to fully appreciate. The remarkable aspect of this film is that the entire story, 95 minutes of it, is told in hand-painted oil paintings, done in the style of Vincent's own work. Scenes begin with an image that Vincent himself painted and if viewers are familiar with all his works, they will recognize the people and the places. But now they are moving, they are speaking, they are telling their stories, and their impressions of Vincent, the man. Some were fond of him, some ridiculed him. There are various points of view.
Technically the film "Loving Vincent" is a wonder of animation. One hundred artists in two countries, (Poland and Greece) working in Vincent's own style contributed full colour paintings for "the present" and black and white paintings for "the past" as the story is being told by the people who knew Vincent.
The film is made up of 853 'shots', and each one began with a first frame of a full painting on canvas board. As the animation photography was done in 12 frames per second, the first painting, would then be photographed, then painted over, with each gradual change to certain details or all of it, until the last frame of the shot. (This is in place of the use of animation cels, which could not be applied in this style of work.) At the end of the 'shot' the film-makers were left with an oil-painting on canvas board, of the last frame. So at the end of filming 853 paintings remained, and 200 are being auctioned off, and many have already sold, (as can be seen from the films own website) although at the time of writing the film has not yet premiered in the USA. The size of the works was usually 67cm by 49cm. Bear in mind that for one hour of film, 43,200 paintings were required, and you will begin to see the extraordinary ambition of this project. Additionally 90 design paintings were created in the planning stages during the year before shooting started. The purpose of these was to define the style in which the artists would all re-create Vincent's style of painting and make it move, live and breathe. 65,000 painted frames in oils were made for the whole film. The story moves along briskly and is full of wonderful characters (the people in Vincent's life). The dialogue of the characters is full of expression, as are the faces, and the characters have been created to really "live" for us. This was done by casting well known and excellent actors in the main roles, and filming them in live-action, then using those 'normal' cinematic images for a basis of the key paintings for each 'shot'. As the film went on, I recognized (from other films) certain of the painted faces of the real actors, who are also giving voice to the painted characters on the soundtrack. This type of animation has never been done before, and as it took seven years to make the film, it might never be done again. The ingenious planning of how to actually do it is brilliant and has been a great success.
Vincent, who suffered, from what we now call bi-polar disease, was an intelligent, deeply sensitive man, who had a sad childhood in a strict bourgeouis family, and was something of a misfit. He showed immense natural art talent. This can be seen clearly and unmistakably by looking at his early drawing. Later he used brush techniques that imitated the 'signature marks' in his pen and ink works. He was understood and saw visual texture.
From Paris Vincent went to Provence, and lived in Arles. He begged his friend Gaugin to come and join him. Vincent was over-joyed but after a few months, things went wrong between them, and Vincent seemed to become very distressed. When Gaugin departed, he was inconsolable. After the famous incident of cutting of his own ear in his distress, he went into care of Dr Gachet in Auvers, where he found a kindred spirit in Gachet, who loved art, and recovered. There he did quite a few more strong drawings and paintings. Vincent saw the world in a kind of almost violent motion and most of his works, drawings and paintings show this. It's as if the wind was visible to him in the air itself, not only in the resulting movements of trees, and fields of grain, or the moving sea.
He never sold a painting in his own lifetime, but gave away some, and sent many to his brother Theo who attempted to sell them in his Paris art gallery. And yet now his works hold the record as being the most expensive ever sold – which happened in modern times.

After the famous incident of cutting of his own ear in his distress, he went into care of Dr Gachet in Auvers, where he found a kindred spirit in Gachet, who loved art, and recovered. There he did quite a few more strong drawings and paintings. Vincent saw the world in a kind of almost violent motion and most of his works, drawings and paintings show this. It's as if the wind was visible to him in the air itself, not only in the resulting movements of trees, and fields of grain, or the moving sea.
He never sold a painting in his own lifetime, but gave away some, and sent many to his brother Theo who attempted to sell them in his Paris art gallery. And yet now his works hold the record as being the most expensive ever sold – which happened in modern times.

It was watchable but not much more than that TBH... I shall watch the 1958 version tonight...
The film really doesn't convey the sheer scale of the event in terms of men, ships or aircraft... Given the amazing ability of CGI these days that seems odd...
I was also rather miffed by the depiction of a Spitfire's ability to apparently carry an infinite amount of ammunition and glide for about 20 mins after running out of fuel... noooo:

Just Luke that is shown to be fallible it is not, a number of the resistance leaders we see and how easy that they can make mistakes it is. While not really seen on screen, mentioned some famous leaders from the original trilogy there are. Opening set piece with Dameron at the beginning when he is stalling with General Hux amusing it is but arguable if worth the losses the following battle it is.
While speaking of amusing moments I am, missed opportunity there was early in film. Lightsaber on the ground there was with with 2 porgs, in front of the business end one was standing while jumping up and down on it the other was. Take a mind reader to know the entire audience at this point was thinking "Land on the button....." it would not.
Trend of clear parallels between a new hope and the force awakens continues it does, straight from Empire Strikes Back a few scenes could have been. At one point Rey's father half expecting Snoke to say to tell her I was.
Overall enjoyed the film I did although getting rid of the old guard this trilogy starting to feel like it is, especially with scene early in film. however, popular old character brought back one is. Cackling like loon he was while causing a little chaos but good to see again he is.

For my Last Jedi review time it is. admit I do, that unsure about the ending I am but willing to give the film the benefit of the doubt I shall. Some brilliant set pieces there are, the story of how ben solo became kylo ren includes this does and explained from different perspectives it was. Shows the full picture and explain why a bitter old man Luke has becone, it does. Has the audience wondering if truly beyond saving Kylo Ren is or redeemed could he be. Yes, hmmm.Brilliant that is Meister

Difficult review to write it was, easy to give away spoilers by mistake it is. Hopeful I am though that edit the porg scene someone will to show the birth of Darth Porgy. Similar comic scene opportunity missed in Return of the Jedi there was. Wicket already shown to be canny when stealing speeder bike he was. Plausible it would have been, to pick up a discarded blaster during the battle and accidentally fire it. Then once figured out how to do it again he had, running round the battlefield firing in all directions like psycho teddy Rambo he could have been. lol:

Quote from: A Reviewer
This enjoyable and inspiring movie is a worthy contribution to the courtroom movie genre.
It memorializes the great Thurgood Marshall (who later won Brown v. Bd. of Education and sat on the Supreme Court). The film brings to life a forgotten rape case in Connecticut that Marshall tried early in his career when he was the solo staff lawyer at the NAACP. The story focuses on the plight of a black man accused of raping a white woman and it highlights issues of racism in the courtroom and on the streets.
The movie recalls the classic fllms "To Kill a Mockingbird" (which also involved a black on white rape case) and "Anatomy of a Murder" (which also involved sexual issues and in which--like many real trials--we're never sure just what actually happened and who is telling the truth).
The writing is sharp and witty and the acting and direction are great. Particularly strong is the emerging partnership and friendship of Marshall and the local lawyer, Sam Friedman, who had never tried a criminal case and thought he would just sit next to Marshall during the trial and and do nothing. But the judge forces Friedman to conduct the trial with Marshall serving as his adviser--and he rises to the occasion.

REVIEW - GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN
Honestly didn't know what to expect when I went to see this film. As its based (loosely) around the creation of the Winnie The Poo stories I thought it was going to be a children's film but.......
The film itself is actually and surprising very good, touching on the family dynamic of the upper classes during the 1930s to 1940s.
Very stand offish parents who seem to care about their social standing rather than their son (Christopher Robin) and how this impacts on all of their lives.
Looking at how one person can force the hand of another, in this case forcing father and son to actually spend time together and bond.
Lessons can be learnt from this film, no matter how much you work, your children want you.
Thoroughly enjoyable film on many levels.
Rating 10 out of 10

Quote from: A Reviewer
Yes, Pixar Animation Studios has done it again -- their latest release, Coco (2017), is not only a return to form, but also manages to be their best feature yet. From 1995 all the way up until 2010, Pixar knocked it out of the park with every release, save for Cars (2006) and maybe A Bug's Life (1998). However, after Cars 2 (2011), it seems every release of theirs has been bad or mediocre, except of course for 2015's extraordinary Inside Out (2015). Luckily, Coco (2017) manages to be the second great Pixar movie since Toy Story 3 (2010), and hopefully a return to form for good this time. All I will divulge about the plot is that it follows a boy named Miguel and his dog traveling into the Land of the Dead. From there, the story takes you to startling visual, entertainment, and emotional heights that no Pixar movie, no kids' movie, and very few "adult" movies have ever taken you. Yes, this is even more emotional than Up (2009) and Inside Out (2015) -- both of those films moved me to tears, but never hit me as hard as this one did. It touched something deep within my soul, and unlike most emotional films where my eyes will water a bit, in this one I began to openly weep. It was an emotional catharsis like I've never experienced before. Aside from the poignant elements, the film also manages to be enormously entertaining, with exhilarating sequences that reaches levels of fun Pixar hasn't reached since Monsters, Inc (2001) and The Incredibles (2004). They use the visually gorgeous Land of the Dead they have created to their full advantage, to provide a rollicking adventure that combines imagination and entertainment brilliantly. The other thing I should mention is the score, which is, by far, the best Pixar score I have ever had the pleasure of listening to -- yes, even better than Finding Nemo's (2003), Up's (2009), and Inside Out's (2015). I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise, considering this is the most musical movie Pixar has ever created, but nevertheless was one of the many, many memorable aspects. In Conclusion, my favorite Pixar movies up until this point have been Toy Story (1995), Finding Nemo (2003), The Incredibles (2004), WALL-E (2008), and Up (2009), with Monsters, Inc. (2001), Ratatouille (2007), Toy Story 3 (2010), and Inside Out (2015) not far behind. I have been disappointed by their seemingly endless sequels this decade, and by the fact that even their originals (Brave (2012) and The Good Dinosaur (2015)) have been okay at best. Even Inside Out (2015), though I love it, is still better at delivering an important message to children than it is being its own story. But with Coco (2017), Pixar has nailed it. It brought me back to childhood nostalgia of watching Pixar classics like Finding Nemo (2003) and Toy Story (1995); the fun, the adventure, the laughs, and the tears. This is what a Pixar movie should be, this is what a kids' movie should me, this is what any movie should be, and it is truly one of my favorite movies of all time.

The basic plot is Lena is currently dealing with her husband going missing on a covert mission and she is struggling to focus on what remains of her life. But when he suddenly returns, her brief hope that normality will ensue is shattered when his odd as he behaves oddly before clearly showing signs of serious illness. In the ambulance on the way to the hospital they are taken by black armoured soldiers. He is hospitalized and she is interrogated by a psychologist who informs her that his mission took him inside “the shimmer”, a rapidly expanding area that’s taken the lives of everyone who has entered, bar him. She soon joins a new mission to find out what’s inside and discover whether she can save her husband’s life.
Visually the film is stunning, and the shimmer area has a very creepy stalkerish feel to it which I suspect was a large part of the inspiration for the source novel.
I'm probably going to end up watching it again before my free Netflix trial ends as I'm still trying to decide whether to keep that or Amazon Prime Video so maybe a second run through may make more sense but overall it's worth a look for a different take on the standard science fiction/survival horror genre.

Overall while flowing in fits and starts this version of seems to be about allowing temptation and human frailty to erode the idealistic values of Star Trek we’d become used to, before offering the chance for our heroes to take the difficult choice and do the right thing all over again. There are episodes that include attempted genocide, mutiny and forced experimentation on an arguably sentient being.... all committed by Starfleet - like I said, trek Jim but not as we know it.
One thing I will say is that the level of the writers ability to come up with plausible sounding technobabble needs some serious work. A new faster than light drive system powered by fungal spores that somehow connect to a network spanning the whole of creation allowing near instantaneous travel? Sounds like the kind of thing that Nick would start spouting off about having had too much collapsio... noooo:
I may give the second season a look when it comes out if I haven't got anything else worth watching but I'm not waiting with baited breath

Worked through season 1 of the new Star Trek series, Discovery. To badly quote McCoy, it's Trek Jim but not as we know it. In all honesty if they had removed all of the Trek references and based it upon a new IP it would probably have been a decent show but it doesn't fit in with the rest of the productions, not even the reboots. Personally I think they would have been better off funding Axenar instead, though the cynic in me does wonder if CBS filched parts of their plot once they had shut them down.Ta Not worth me subscribing to Netflix for then

Wrath of Khan is the best, made on a tight budget so they had to concentrate on script and acting

The driving force behind this production, scientific curiosity about Mars notwithstanding, is that given the current rates of overpopulation and consumption colonising Mars may be essential for human survival. The documentary aspects of the series include interview footage with Elon Musk - the founder of Spacex, Andy Weir - author of The Martian and Stephen Petranek - author of How We'll Live on Mars, on which the series has been based as well as a wealth of astronauts and NASA scientists who all show us just how difficult and dangerous the undertaking will be. These interconnected segments cleverly show our current level of research and experimentation and how they are stepping stones on the path towards successful Martian colonisation covering aspects such as the Kelley twins experiment to show the long term effects of prolonged duration in space and the failed SpaceX rocket tests.
Overall Mars is a good production but it does have some flaws. The transition between documentary and narrative drama isn't always smooth and in some places feel like it is disconnected with the emotional aspects of the mission, it seems sterile not to mention overly optimistic that an international group could be founded in the way that the one in the series has. In fact that is the part of the series that I find the hardest to imagine, that by 2033 we have managed to band together and create an international federation that will send it's best and brightest on this daring one way mission to set up a camp on a world 140 million miles away.
It's certainly worth a look, especially if like Mort you are interested in space and science fiction. :thumbsup:

Started watching Mars, a drama/documentary about the first Mars colonisation mission, having previously applied for Mars One (described by some of my family as a random act of insanity lol: ) previously this show was one I've wanted to see since I first heard about it. Based upon the book 'How We'll Live on Mars' it's a clever mix of the story of the expedition in 2033 interspersed with documentary segments that investigate where we are currently in the quest to spread beyond our planet. Pairing fact and fiction in this way enhances the tension of the story as the different elements play off against each other and while the transition between the two elements isn't always seamless they are certainly thought provoking. Don't expect an action filled ride though, this is a slow considered exploration that is thought provoking and visually stunning and certainly worth looking at.:thumbsup:

Having heard the news about some of the cast not wanting to renew contracts I knew that these 2 films would be used to cull people but bloody Hell, they aren't pulling any punches when it comes to killing major characters off... eeek:
It's difficult to give a review of this film without giving away any spoilers but this is the culmination of an arc that started back in 2008 with the first Iron Man film with each successive production leaving breadcrumbs to tease the larger plot going on in the background. And now, with the Avengers dealing with the consequences of the civil war and Thor trying to find a new home for the survivors of Asgard after Ragnarok, the big bugger himself has arrived. Josh Brolin has been perfectly cast as Thanos, the insane Warmonger who has decided that in the interest of balance half of the universe's population has to be eradicated and who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal no matter the cost. This has led him to search for the infinity stones, six gems of unimaginable power, some of which have already made their appearance such as the Tesseract and the Mind Stone that brought Vision to life.
The scale of this film is far and above anything in the MCU that has been released so far but even with this massive apocalyptic storyline there is a very human element in there as well, with a subplot of sacrifice to protect the universe which goes about as well as you'd expect.
I haven't seen an audience leave a screen in almost complete silence until now. If you have enjoyed the Marvel films so far then this is a must watch. :thumbsup:

Stylish, clever plot, Gosling was excellent in the lead but it's a 100 minute film dragged out to nearly 3 hours FFS noooo:

Seems there is some controversy over the reviews of Gotti with a suggestion that Rotten Tomatoes was hacked.

I will admit that when it comes to killer shark films Jaws will always be the benchmark so I went in more expecting to see something along the lines of Sharknado or Megashark vs Giant Octopus rather than Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss in a boat but it was still an enjoyable B movie romp.
If you haven't heard about this film the basic premise is that megalodons survived the believed extinction of their species by diving deep into the Marianas Trench where they were protected by an insulating thermal layer made up of assorted minerals. After this new area of the trench is discovered and explored, one of the prehistoric sharks is able to make it way through the clime and to the surface, where it follows it’s biological imperative to feed so Jonas Taylor (Statham) is brought in having escaped an encounter with one of these in the past while attempting to rescue the crew of a crashed submarine.
If like me you have read the novel then, as with most adaptations, while you may find it entertaining you may feel a sense of disappointment in some parts as (strange as it may seem as this is a film about a giant prehistoric shark) the science element and sense of being able to see aspects in the real world that form a large part of Alten's novels are absent.
For example, deep sea pressures. There is a scene in the film where a person is able to decend thousands of fathoms in a submersible faster then Baldymort taking a swan dive off a roof, something that just isnt possible or the two mini subs that seem to have been at the very least inspired by the A wings from Star Wars and even move like one. Now at this point I know what some of you are going to say, this is a film about a prehistoric monster shark going on the rampage in the modern world, why the Hell am I going on about realism. It was just something that struck me as I was watching it.
As much as I enjoyed it I would say that this is not a scary film by any stretch of the imagination, you may see a couple of jump scares but you won't experience that edge of your seat creeping sense of fear you had watching Jaws for the first time. You aren't going to see headlines about a widespread refusal to “go back into the water” because it comes across as so ridiculously impossible. The fact that they were able to give it a 12A rating, even with the beach scene (from the 10 commandments of Brenchly: Thou shalt not haveth a killer shark film without a scene of carnage at the beach) also tells you much about what you’re going in for- there is very limited blood and (human) gore, but given how many parents brought young children to see the film I'd say that was intentional.
Overall it was a fun couple of hours and hopefully the box office takings will be enough to convince the studio to work their way through the other books in the series.

That wasn't the only bit of stupidity yesterday, there was a march and demonstration about a local who had unfortunately died after being tasered by the police a few weeks back. Now I have no problems with you arranging a protest if you feel strongly enough about it but why in the hell did you have it
(a)On Sunday, when the town centre is pretty much empty
and
(b)About half an hour before the shops close which mean the few people actually in town would head elsewhere...
May also explain why there were only about 25 people actually on the march noooo:

Yeah I know a 90 minute documentary about a chess player but worth a go, it's surprisingly an interesting watch all the way through and as whole an excellent documentary especially if you were around during that 1972 match.
As for Fischer himself: as odd as you can get with only one head but ultimately what a tragic life

Chris Pine does a good job in the role of Robert the Bruce, a character light years away from his previous well known portrayal of James T. Kirk. There is a lot more nuance and subtlety here.
The opening sequence of Outlaw King is an object lesson in effective directing. The single, unbroken shot crams a hell of a lot into about 10 minutes but paces it so that you aren't buried under events. From Robert and some of the other Scottish lords pragmatically swearing allegiance to Edward I, the sparring session between Robert and the Crown Prince and unleashing the infamous trebuchet War Wolf against what I'm pretty certain was Stirling Castle the sequence screams that while the film was made for Netflix this is not going to be a production that is small in scope.
It's clear from the start that the Bruce is struggling between keeping to his oath of allegiance and following his personal sense of honour, something that comes to a head following the execution of William Wallace leading to a failed attempt to ally with a rival to the Scottish throne ending up with him being forced to kill him.
The combat scenes that follow through the film are gritty and don't pull any punches when it comes to the kinds of wounds you could inflict on someone with the weapons available in the 14th century especially when they are wielded by the obligatory screaming celtic nutter character. In another scene, the execution of one of Robert's brothers was heavily toned down compared to the historical accounts of the time but still manages to show the horror of being hung and drawn.
There are the inevitable comparisons between this film and the godawful ranting mess that was Braveheart. But while there are some parts of the film that don't feel particularly fleshed out such as Robert's quest to rescue his wife and daughter, the only way you could have a comprehensive biopic of Robert the Bruce would be to write a TV series. Personally I'd say that Outlaw King is the better film of the two. While there are some mistakes it's certainly the more historically accurate. For one thing, William Wallace was never called Braveheart. That title was given to Robert the Bruce after his death as he had given instructions that his heart was to be removed and buried in Scotland.
Overall it's certainly worth a look :thumbsup:

Sample review from IMDB...
Quote
Boy, was that so not what I expected. That's all I'm going to say though, anything else would be a disservice to those who haven't seen it. All I'm going to say is that it's a splendid film. Endlessly intriguing with some superb writing and directing, and two absolutely fantastic leading performances. I remember Mark Duplass from Your Sister's Sister, and he's even better here. A guy to watch out for. The main reason I sought this out was because of Elisabeth Moss, who's already given one of my all-time favorite female performance on television with Mad Men. I was pretty excited to see her for the first time in a film, and as a fan, she still surprised me. She's enormously talented, and her work here isn't unlike her work in Mad Men. She's subdued, and always giving the impression that she's portraying so many different facets of her character beneath the surface. If Duplass is great, Moss adds that extra dimension that makes her work here nothing short of outstanding. It's the best female performance I've seen all year, if maybe only rivaled by Johansson's turn in Under The Skin. And, well, the entire film is one of the best I've seen this year. I strongly recommend this, and recommend everyone sees it without knowing too much about it.

It's one of the few films based on a game that seems to work, mainly because the game was purely about 3 giant creatures demolishing a city and had no plot... lol:
Who was the third one?
Baldymort? Something tells me that as far as wholesale chaos and destruction is concerned those three would be the unholy trinity... scared2:

A story based on the killing of Bonny and Clyde but really a Harrelson and Costner fest...
It is a good filum but if (like me) you like Harrelson and Costner it is unmissable! cloud9:
Post by: Barman on April 25, 2019, 06:07:53 AM
Quite an amazing story... worthy:
Followed up by watching Marwencol (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391092/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1) (or Village of the Dolls) which is a fascinating documentary about Mark Hogancamp who the filum is about... :thumbsup:

Longer review...
It's going to be difficult to give this a proper review without giving away spoilers as some of the more poignant moments are intrinsic to the plot. Set five years after infinity War you can see how the characters have tried to deal with the feelings of guilt for having failed to stop Thanos, The growth of the characters over the whole story arc is far more apparent here as they are trying to find meaning in their lives until a chance to undo the effects of the snap is revealed.
It's a corking ride all the way through with all of the set pieces and humour that have become a trademark of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Thor's appearance after the 5 year gap shows Chris Hemsworth still has a knack for comedy. Some of the jokes will likely fall flat for our older members (the one with Thor, Korg and Fortnite comes to mind) but that is more of a generation thing rather than anything else. The foreshadowing that has been all through the films so far brings us to an ending that truly does justice to the characters.
Stan Lee's final cameo is also a fitting one but it's one I suspect that it was missed by a lot of people as it isn't done in the same way as his previous ones.
I will admit I'm going to end up seeing it again at least once more as I'm sure there are things that I missed first time around. Even with the 3 hour length of the film they still ended up having to cram as much as possible into the time they had.

A very rich cast all perform superbly and the CGI throughout is excellent. Yes some won't like it as it's a fantasy film but it also has wit, intricacy and pathos
Maybe 15 minutes too long but an excellent end to the whole wonderfully entertaining Avengers cycle

shrugs:
Back when they were making Alien 3 there were a number of different screenplays in the running, Gibson's one was far superior to the utter shite they ended up with because it actually made sense as a follow on and would have spawned a far more interesting storyline going forward. Instead they went ahead and greenlit a film so bad that the director has publicly tried to remove himself from it afterwards.

Quote from: IMDB Reviewer
Todd Douglas Miller's documentary Apollo 11 is a rich buffet of restored footage, clever image juxtaposition, and ingenious lip reading. There is SO MUCH newly-released footage, one gets the impression that 1/4 of the mission weight must've been cameras and film! Where have these images been for fifty years? There's no narration... just sounds and voices from the mission, peppered with occasional contemporaneous commentary from Walter Cronkite's legendary broadcasts. The film is a beautiful, visceral thrill ride, lovingly constructed, without aggrandizement... yet emotions soar. This is what America once was, and what it could be again, and I absolutely do not mean that in any jingoistic sense.

Quote
Plotzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Arthur Harris is the grumpy husband of Marion, who is terminally ill yet continues to participate with enthusiasm at her local seniors' choir, The OAP'Z. The choirmaster is a young teacher, Elizabeth who is preparing the choir to enter a local musical choir competition called "Shadow Song". Arthur is also estranged from his son, James. Marion's health deteriorates over time until one night when she dies in her sleep. Arthur initially takes this loss severely and cuts himself from his family and the choir. Eventually he agrees to take Marion's place in the choir. The transition proves to be a challenge for Arthur thanks to the unconventional songbook that includes racier songs such as Salt-N-Pepa's "Let's Talk About Sex" and Motörhead's "Ace of Spades". However he grows to enjoy spending time in the choir.
On the eve of the competition, Arthur has an argument with James in a failed attempt to rebuild their relationship . . .

Just had a staff screening of Labyrinth at work, God that took me back. This strange Muppets/Alice in Pythonland (it was written by Terry Jones) cross has Jennifer Connelly's character wishing her younger brother into the clutches of David Bowie's Goblin King and she only has scant hours to rescue him from the castle at the end of the Labyrinth. It's a kid's film, so don't expect huge amounts of suspense and thrills but it is still an enjoyable piece of fantasy fun and you can see just how much Bowie was enjoying himself through the film. The songs Bowie wrote may not be to everyone's taste but they fit in well with the film.

Finished another audiobook last night. This time it was Six Bravo Zero by Damien Lewis (no not the actor). It's a corking Boy's Own true story of a 60 man special forces squadron being hunted by 100,000 Iraqi soldiers during the second Iraq war. Well worth a listen. Was so impressed I've started another one of his now, Churchill's Secret Warriors. :thumbsup:

Star Wars fans: "The Last Jedi ruined the franchise...!"
JarJar Abrams: "Hold my beer....."
TL:DR That's 2 and a half hours of my life I'll never get back again.
Given the many leaks that have been released (yes it's true, they decided that Palpatine somehow managed to survive being hit with his own lightning, thrown down a bloody great big shaft and then blown up with the Death Star and has in fact been behind everything in the last 2 films) and the mess that Rian Johnson left the plot in with The Last Jedi I wasn't expecting to see a masterpiece and I have to admit JarJar Abrams did deliver. Now the film does have some good points, it looks great and does have some really impressive set pieces but the plot (or lack of one) really lets it down. In all honesty I think the film should have been named Raiders of the Lost McGuffin with the way they had the search for the mystical device needed to find the lost planet they need to get to (go to planet, find clue, Kylo arrives, run - rinse and repeat). Then there are the plot holes...................and there are a hell of a lot of them. So many in fact that I can't mention any of them without giving way what little plot there is.
Strip out all of the Star Wars material and you would end up with a half watchable Roger Corman B Movie.

Not surprised, very convergent with the professional reviews. Shame really as episodes 4,5,1,3 and to an extent 7 were good plots (yes even despite Jar Jar Binks)

Sensational doesn't really cover it... Hanks and Rhys are incredible! eeek:
Quote from: IMDB
A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood is a superb film and one of the most wonderful movie going experiences of my life. Mr. Tom Hanks gives what is nothing less than the performance of a lifetime. Simply incredible. Subtly and with artistry and sensitivity Mr. Hanks becomes Fred Rogers and it's as if the actor himself disappears. Beautifully written and wonderfully directed, this is a motion picture that will live in the hearts of audiences for generations to come. Tom Hanks will rip your heart out and return it to you filled with love and understanding. This is an historic acting accomplishment in a film that will become an instant classic.

Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of Disney. A land of rushed reboots, poor quality sequels and cash grab live action remakes in the frantic single minded quest to make quick money after spending an absolute fortune to acquire the Star Wars licence, Marvel and 20th Century Fox. noooo:

Just watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3224458/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)... worthy:
Sensational doesn't really cover it... Hanks and Rhys are incredible! eeek:Quote from: IMDBA Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood is a superb film and one of the most wonderful movie going experiences of my life. Mr. Tom Hanks gives what is nothing less than the performance of a lifetime. Simply incredible. Subtly and with artistry and sensitivity Mr. Hanks becomes Fred Rogers and it's as if the actor himself disappears. Beautifully written and wonderfully directed, this is a motion picture that will live in the hearts of audiences for generations to come. Tom Hanks will rip your heart out and return it to you filled with love and understanding. This is an historic acting accomplishment in a film that will become an instant classic.
We are supposed to be getting it sometime soon so will add it to the watch list. :thumbsup:

So finally saw it today. I'll give it a B (aka should have waited til it was free on Sky) Amazingly Mrs K gives it an A noooo:Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker.Ta
Star Wars fans: "The Last Jedi ruined the franchise...!"
JarJar Abrams: "Hold my beer....."
TL:DR That's 2 and a half hours of my life I'll never get back again.
Given the many leaks that have been released (yes it's true, they decided that Palpatine somehow managed to survive being hit with his own lightning, thrown down a bloody great big shaft and then blown up with the Death Star and has in fact been behind everything in the last 2 films) and the mess that Rian Johnson left the plot in with The Last Jedi I wasn't expecting to see a masterpiece and I have to admit JarJar Abrams did deliver. Now the film does have some good points, it looks great and does have some really impressive set pieces but the plot (or lack of one) really lets it down. In all honesty I think the film should have been named Raiders of the Lost McGuffin with the way they had the search for the mystical device needed to find the lost planet they need to get to (go to planet, find clue, Kylo arrives, run - rinse and repeat). Then there are the plot holes...................and there are a hell of a lot of them. So many in fact that I can't mention any of them without giving way what little plot there is.
Strip out all of the Star Wars material and you would end up with a half watchable Roger Corman B Movie.
Not surprised, very convergent with the professional reviews. Shame really as episodes 4,5,1,3 and to an extent 7 were good plots (yes even despite Jar Jar Binks)
I'll still likely go see it but not exactly rushing to book
As Meister says, the visuals are very good, I'll even disagree with Meister and say the basic plot isn't bad but the dialogue just does not work especially as several of the actors (Ridley, Grant and Diarmid excepted) put in C- performances. Some neat cameo performances though. Like a lot of films it should have been 20 minutes shorter, its two hour 20 minutes run time seemed like 4 hours and I swear I briefly nodded off a couple of times

Eastwood has the right to make anything he likes... I've no doubt that if he oversteps a line legal action will be forthcoming.

Apprently it's taken $123M at the box office worldwide incl $8M in the UK https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1051906/?ref_=bo_se_r_1
Might watch it tonight... rubschin:

Tell Mrs K to keep half an eye on movie and business news. The way things are looking for Disney at the moment I can see them biting the bullet and just releasing the new Black Widow film straight to digital.
Mind you if the films go the way it sounds like the comics are now then it's only a matter of time before the MCU crashes and burns. When I was a kid you had comic characters that could inspire you to be better such as Superman, Batman, Spawn, Judge Dredd etc. I saw in the news earlier that Marvel have released 2 new heroes......................Snowflake and Safespace. facepalm:

I remember watching Fletcher in Press Gang when I was a kid. Was your usual kids fare kind of drama with him and Julia Sawalha about a school newspaper, but there was one stand out episode that I can still remember one scene from even now where he is trapped after an explosion in a shopping centre trying to get to someone he can hear crying for help only to find that he's hearing her voice through a broken pipe and she is on another floor.
He's underrated and very talented as an actor and given the response to Rocketman I'd say he has his director's chops as well. rubschin:

Just had a quick look and I think I know how the rumour started. There is an Empire article with the headline "Dexter Fletcher Will Direct Sherlock Holmes 3 With Robert Downey Jr" that could make people think they are directing it between them.

Dear Amazon,
You have enough data about me to know that I live in the UK. You even blocked me from using a VPN in order to watch some of the stuff you only have available in America so why the hell did you recommend a show that I can't watch because I'm clearly in the wrong bloody country. cussing:
Yours sincerely
Narked off of Cornwall, UK Finger:
Anyhoo, found season one on DVD for £3 on ebay cloud9:
Ok basically Regenesis is CSI for science and medicine. It revolves around a scientific team based in Toronto at NorBAC (The North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission a fictional organisation created for the show). The organisation investigates things such as bio-terrorism, previously unknown diseases or unexplained environmental phenomena. Headed by David Sanstrom, a very flawed molecular biologist (portrayed brilliantly by Peter Outerbridge) who usually addresses ethical and political issues related to whatever is going on that episode although there is an overriding plot that stretches out the entire season.

It is a brilliant book about the war (and helicopters!)... In the early part of his flying instruction he is all over the place trying to keep the aircraft stationary. His instructor says, "It's true what they say about you, you are a natural!". He replies, "What do you mean, I was all over the field!". Instructor replies, "we just have to practice in smaller and smaller fields".
I've read all his other books too about his life after the war and his science fiction. Fascinating stuff...
But if you just want a brilliant book about the airborne cavalry, Vietnam and how a Huey works then Chickenhawk is well worth it... Thumbs:

Quote from: IMDB
Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen (in her acting debut) provide us with great perfomances, a very special dynamic duo that for that alone is worth watching the movie. Both are the best of the film. The script, by Aneesh Chaganty (also the director) and Sev Ohanian, is good enough to get to know and develop the two characters, find out what the problem is and reach the climax. It may be a simple story, but it is still excellent. Finally, what every thriller needs, a good scoring, is achieved in this film thanks to the talented Torin Borrowdale. Without a doubt one of the high points of the film. It's a light and exciting ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
...just about sums it up... Thumbs:

Quote from: IMDB
I very rarely write a review on IMDB this is my second review, but I felt compelled to write one because of my familiarity with this story as a former Long Island resident and was very familiar with the area where their bodies were discovered. The Long Island Serial Killer (aka LISK) still remains unknown to the Suffolk County police. There have been many suspects over the years. John Bittrolff was one of those accused in these murders. He was arrested, tried and convicted of three of the murders of Rita Tangredi, Colleen McNamee and Sandra Costilla. He is serving two life sentences plus an additional 25 years in Fishkill, NY. DNA that was found on these girl's bodies is what convicted him of these murders.
Joseph Brewer was the last person to have seen Shannan Gilbert alive. He hired her as an escort from Craigslist on the night of her disappearance. Brewer said that shortly after Gilbert arrived at his residence, she began acting erratically and fled into the night. Gilbert was reportedly seen running through Oak Beach, pounding on the doors of homes in Brewer's neighborhood. Around this time, Gilbert called 9-1-1 saying that "they were trying to kill her". However, police did not find any evidence of wrongdoing, and Brewer was quickly cleared as a suspect.
Dr. Peter Hackett was one creepy dude in my opinion, and he lied to the police when he said he never made a phone call twice to Mari Gilbert when phone records showed that he did. Why lie about something like that, that could be easily identified? The marshy area where Shannan Gilbert's remains were found were behind Hackett's house and backyard. Mari Gilbert filed a wrongful death suit against Hackett in November 2012, claiming that he took Gilbert into his home that morning and administered drugs to her, facilitating her death. Later police revealed that Hackett had a history of inserting himself into, or exaggerating his role in, certain major events. Police also noted that Hackett's wife and two children were home on the night of Gilbert's disappearance. Police later ruled out Hackett as a suspect in the deaths of Gilbert and the other LISK victims.
Now, one of the more interesting "suspects" was James Burke, the former Suffolk County Police Chief claimed he was connected to the Long Island murders. In November 2016, Burke had been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison, along with three years of supervised release, for beating a man who stole a duffel bag filled with sex toys and pornography from his vehicle. Burke had pleaded guilty in February 2016 to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Gilbert's attorney said in December that one escort claimed that she had had "rough sex" with Burke during an Oak Beach party. Burke was reported to have blocked an FBI probe of the LISK case during his time as police chief. He has never been cleared as a "suspect."
The media has speculated about a profile of the killer, referred to by police as "Joe C" (unknown subject). According to the New York Times, it is most likely a white male in his mid-20s to mid-40s who is very familiar with the South Shore of Long Island and has access to burlap sacks, which he uses to hold the bodies for disposal. He may have a detailed knowledge of law enforcement techniques, and perhaps ties to law enforcement, which have thus far helped him avoid detection.
Shannan Gilbert's death was originally ruled as a drowning but due to the controversy about Gilbert's death, in September 2014, famed forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden agreed to conduct an independent autopsy of Gilbert's remains in hopes of determining a clear cause of death. Upon examination of Gilbert's remains, Baden found damage to her hyoid bone (the same bone in Jeffrey Epstein's case), suggesting that strangulation may have occurred. Baden also noted that her body was found face-up, which is not common for drowning victims. Despite this, her death is still officially listed by police as an accident.
The worse thing about these many deaths and bodies found was the lack of respond from the Suffolk County Police. Fourteen bodies were found and only 6 have been identified and because most of the victim minus the 24-month-old baby girl whose mother was identified as Jane Doe #3, were all prostitutes. Their bodies were dismembered and spread out along the south shore of Long Island because many had identifying marks such as scars from surgeries and tattoos. Because they lived a dangerous lifestyle their murders didn't matter to them and never took it seriously until Mari Gilbert came and made it important. She was unrelenting in her pursuit of justice for Shannan. Sadly, there are no happy endings in the Shannan and Mari Gilbert's stories. Mari was murdered by her youngest daughter Sarra, who suffered from schizophrenia and Shannan's murder remain unsolved.
The police didn't care enough to want to solve these brutal murders because they were prostitutes. I've seen enough real murder mysteries to know this is a pattern with most police. If a victim lived a dangerous lifestyle even runaways and were murdered, they probably deserved it and that just infuriates me.
This movie brings back all those horrors of the LISK into my mind. It was well acted by all involved but Amy Ryan was outstanding, and her performance brought out the quintessence of the real Mari Gilbert and her pursuit of justice for her oldest daughter Shannan. The actor who played Peter Haskell brought out his creepy vibe perfectly. He made my skin crawl just as the real man did.
EXCELLENT movie and I give it 9 out of ten. I would love to see a miniseries on the Long Island Serial Killer in the hopes of families who could identify the remains of the remaining 8 bodies.

This film was truly fantastic. A dynamic story do well orchestrated I was glued to it. Hanks a magnificent actor shines out as usual portraying a most unique character in a tumultuous time in history. What I can say about Helena is that she is a marvel. Many young actresses cannot meet up to her as far as I can see. This duo of characters was superbly performed. Best film I have seen in a long long time.

Honestly I'm shocked, it was surprisingly good, it was the kind of intense movie that had you sitting on the edge of your seat the whole time, I thought the message was something that really needs to be heard, why the hell was the rotten tomatoes score so bad, honestly critics just care about the agenda and not about the actual story, because it was written well and acted amazing, trust me you'll love it

Quote from: IMDB
IN BRIEF: Great performances and sensitive direction create a haunting journey into dementia.
JIM'S REVIEW: (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) It's been a few days since I have seen Florian Zeller's brilliant film, The Father, and it still haunts me with its vivid depiction of the ravages of dementia. Other films have previously tackled this tragic disease very well. Amour, Still Alice, Away From Her, Iris, these exceptional films do come to mind, but no moviegoing experience will prepare you for this emotional free-fall.
We witness Anthony's mental decline directly as we are transported to his ever-changing world. It is a jarring and disturbing view. Scenes are flipped and repeated by different characters. Actors trade roles and utter familiar dialog heard before. Items are lost or found and settings are slightly askew with changes in decor hinting at his mental disarray and anguish. As moviegoers, we cannot recognize the real from the surreal and the film accomplishes what no other film has done before...we become as dead to the real world, just as Anthony has, lost in a parallel universe and unable to find an easy escape. The emotional upheaval is palpable and moving.
This is a great movie. French playwright Florian Zeller takes his play (with the assistance from Christopher Hampton) and adapts it for the screen in his glorious directorial debut and it's a stunner. His dialog captures the outrage and angst of a patient slowly being erased. Mr. Zeller's sensitive touches throughout the film indicate vast changes in Anthony's time frame (a misplaced fork, artwork that moves and shifts placement in the apartment, a whole kitchen redo, etc.).
Production values are top-notch. Special kudos to Peter Francis' stylish production design and Ludovico Einaudi's brooding and lyrical music score which sets the perfect bittersweet tone. Yorgos Lamprinos removes all of the play's stagy theatrics from this adaptation with his concise editing and the lens of Ben Smithard lights and composes areas of the apartment with a sense of cluttered isolation with equal parts Edward Hopper or David Hockney.
In the title role is Sir Anthony Hopkins and he is mesmerizing in his portrayal of a man unable to come to terms with his demise. He cajoles, bullies, and demands attention of those he loves. His final break-down scene is a masterclass in acting. This is a towering performance by an actor at his peak. The whole ensemble is splendid. Rufus Sewell, Imogen Poots, Mark Gatliss, and Olivia Williams shine in their transferable identities and add layers to the story, but it is Olivia Coleman as Anne, Anthony's sorrowful daughter, who impresses. The actress brings such deep nuance to her part. Her frightened glances, disoriented manner, and expressive line delivery is devastating. Mr. Hopkins and Ms. Coleman deserve every accolade this award season.
Simply stated, The Father is one of the year's finest films. Do not miss this gripping movie.

Amazing performance from Tom Holland. I was so glad to see him nail a much more serious role as well as Spiderman. This movie, in my opinion, managed to portray PTSD and addiction in a way that it kept my whole attention from the beginning to the end. I even got goosebumps at some of the scenes, thanks to the music which is truly a masterpiece. Haven't read the books, but my advice is that the movie is worth watching at least once, the atmosphere of it is incredible!

Finally got to see some amazing movie in the cinema. To be honest this film is filled with lots of terrific moments and surprises (not twists) with its badass characters, especially the protagonist "Bob Odenkirk" he completely nailed it.
From the start to the end of the film was a BANG! ... for all those who love movies like John Wick, Equalizer shouldn't miss this movie at all ... It worth the money

Been listening to Bravo Three Zero at work, it's the story of one of the other 2 SAS teams that were deployed into Iraq to hunt Saddam's scud missiles. It's been gripping stuff, both Powell's recollection of the patrol as well as other missions and training that he reminisces about. I have a lot more respect for Douglas Hurd now, I'd never known he'd flown into Somalia to talk with Mohamed Aidid (yes that warlord) about letting humanitarian supplies get to the people who needed them and was cool and unflappable for the entire trip, even when bullets were flying.The SAS in Iraq in Gulf War 1, just awesome what they managed to do. I doubt we'll ever know the whole story

Quote from: IMDB
This movie is precisely what the opening scene plays out, "this is not a true story ... except for all the facts!"
In that blunt revelation, the purpose, narrative, and portrayal is explained in succinct and profound manner. This movie is not trying to be a documentary, primarily because the focus is so personal, that those personal details are dramatic license. But, the overall story is entirely true, based upon the precise information that the movie itself reveals.
The production values are very good, and the plot goes by quickly. The scenes, even if not entirely accurate, nevertheless provide a realistic context for motivations and objectives.
So, is this a political satire? Perhaps, but it seems so much more than mere satire. What it seems to be is a dramatic telling of a very important real world story, from an intensely personal point of view, that gets to the heart of many very critical political realities that were suppressed for political reasons.
In the end, for anyone who tries to stay current with events, the conclusion leaves one to ponder the realities, and make the judgments that seem most appropriate.
Those judgments may vacillate from sympathy for the people at the heart of the story, to outrage at their asserted betrayal of public trust. At one point, the movie even pokes a bit of fun at itself, by telling the backstory of how so many worked so hard to keep the entire narrative secret, and by those actions, may have influenced an entire national election.
In the end, this story, that Hollywood refuses to touch, provides information and perspective that fills a void left through deliberate censorship efforts. With that in mind, the movie may serve a very useful purpose.
In that light, the movie shows once again that effective satire can sometimes be more vital and relevant than documentary, because it provides the emotional context along with the hard truth.

I couldn't find it on lone so ordered the DVD (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00Y353HVC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details).
It is excellent! how refreshing to see an historically accurate series not fucked up by political correctness*, etc.
Binge-watched Disc 1 last night and will watch Disc 2 tonight prolly....
Quote from: IMDB Review
An absolute gem of a series. I remember it well, viewing it during the early years of my medical training. It was certainly released on Betamax at one stage but appears to have not had a DVD release.
Inspirational, historically correct with the usual effective BBC dramatic edge. Anyone with an interest in science, particularly microbiology would find this enormously entertaining. Reminiscent of those old biographical movies from the 50's and 60's re Pasteur, Curie and Ehrlich
Can anyone suggest how the BBC can be encouraged to release this fantastic series on DVD. Should not be left hidden away in a vault.

Don't normally watch 'horror' but the reviews were so good I gave it a go...
Intriguing... First couple of hours were good but it turned to complete shite for the last scene... Disappointing...
This IMDB review sums it up for me (other reviews are available)...
Quote from: IMDB
This movie was disappointing to me because it had some really nice things going which made it promising for the first 66%. In the end however, it dragged to an over-the top disastrous climax which was really more gross than clever or insightful. I wish the end of the movie had been rewritten to perhaps have a confrontation with the drug makers rather than be all about her demise at a big public media event.
Any viewer on earth could anticipate that the media event wouldn't go well. They made it go about as awful as possible. But I wasn't on the edge of my seat. Instead I was just grossed out and annoyed at all of the contrivances which allowed for such a tragic concluding spectacle.
The film's visuals were pretty good if not a bit heavy handed. The sound design and score were pretty effective. The premise of the story was good. The actors did a fine job. And all of that made the end of the story that much more disappointing, given the potential. I suspect the positives are why the movie had gotten so much positive hype. But in the end, the overall story and conclusion matters too much for me to give it higher than a 6.

Watched The Substance (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17526714/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_7_nm_0_in_0_q_the%2520substance) last night...
Don't normally watch 'horror' but the reviews were so good I gave it a go...
Intriguing... First couple of hours were good but it turned to complete shite for the last scene... Disappointing...
This IMDB review sums it up for me (other reviews are available)...Quote from: IMDBThis movie was disappointing to me because it had some really nice things going which made it promising for the first 66%. In the end however, it dragged to an over-the top disastrous climax which was really more gross than clever or insightful. I wish the end of the movie had been rewritten to perhaps have a confrontation with the drug makers rather than be all about her demise at a big public media event.
Any viewer on earth could anticipate that the media event wouldn't go well. They made it go about as awful as possible. But I wasn't on the edge of my seat. Instead I was just grossed out and annoyed at all of the contrivances which allowed for such a tragic concluding spectacle.
The film's visuals were pretty good if not a bit heavy handed. The sound design and score were pretty effective. The premise of the story was good. The actors did a fine job. And all of that made the end of the story that much more disappointing, given the potential. I suspect the positives are why the movie had gotten so much positive hype. But in the end, the overall story and conclusion matters too much for me to give it higher than a 6.
You have been warned.
