    Morgan, pretty short and forgettable film with a decent twist.

    Well, it wasn't a film, it was a stage musical based the movie Dirty Dancing...it was great, you have to see it. The actors in the production we saw last night in Memphis were mostly from the UK and Australia...which I found funny..a bunch of people from the Commonwealth, playing American teens in 1963...

    I saw "Room" (2015), directed by Lenny Abrahamson.

    The movie is about a young woman (Brie Larson) who was kidnapped by a man seven years ago and lives in a sound proofed shed with her son Jack (Jacob Tremblay). Jack is five years old and the product of her captor's rapes. This sounds like a very depressing movie, but it's surprisingly uplifting. The leads are well acted and the young Tremblay is fantastic. Highly reccomended! :)

    Standard horror gore filled nonsense, sadly the characters are so badly developed, you just don't
    Care about who's getting butchered. A very average horror film. :#

    Mechanic Resurrection :
    Jason Statham shooting and kicking villains in the face. ( No body does it better than the Stath !) ;)
    A couple of Bond connections , location wise Rio and Thailand, with Vic Armstrong as 2nd unit director
    and Michelle Yeoh -{. An average but enjoyable thriller.

    Suicide Squad :
    Enjoyable superhero romp, follows the well known formula. I'd give it a 7/10

    Phantasm: Ravager :. ( The balls are back ) ;)
    Watch this mainly for nostalgia reasons, I remember those early Phantasm movies as a teen, and
    Loved the horror/action. Infact I found those flying balls, with the build in drills very frightening. :)

    Scum

    London Live is an odd channel, all dusty old black and white films by day, grim crime dramas by night.

    Scum is a notorious borstal drama.

    A very young Ray Winstone plays a cherubic, angle faced young lad whose mindset is turned upside down when he encounters brutal borstal life. Well, maybe that's not the accurate take on it! Actually, his 'who's the Daddy routine' is well known, but I didn't see any of this in this movie really, he only seems to be retaliating to wrongdoing and almost one of the good guys.

    Prophetic scheduling that they screen this in the week of UKIP's latest fiasco, with its members doing the 'I only fell' routine. :))

    Parts of the film are almost like Porridge, it has a comic undertone although that makes the later scenes more horrific.

    Some Brit names who went on to other things. Phil Daniels, who like Winstone, was in Quadrophenia, and the actor who played Mickey Pearce in Only Fools and Horses. Among the crew I noticed Martin Campbell and his favoured cinematographer Phil Meheux.

    Deepwater Horizon

    Good film, excellent performances from Kurt Russell and John Malkovich, but it left me wondering how close to the truth it was. If so, BP don't come out of it very welll. At all. Oh, and Marky Mark wasn't bad.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I haven't seen it yet, but I know from reports that yes BP were Not very Happy ! ;)

    I've watched many films recently, but the best one out of those I've seen is:

    Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children.

    I was almost speechless at how good this was. It has everything. Check it out.

    Saw the new Japanese Godzilla movie, very good though it's on a limited run.

    Downfall

    A sombre, serious look at Hitler's last days. Bruno Ganz couldn't have been better, and our old friend Gotz Otto was excellently efficient.

    The other day I saw Downfall described on the Kermode & Mayo Film Review page as "The film that spawned a thousand unfunny Youtube videos..." :))

    The DVD has been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years now, and I still haven't got round to seeing it. :#
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 36,053Chief of Staff
    It's long, and heavy going, but worth a watch (no Higgins, not that kind of watch).

    Dark of the Sun, 1966 movie staring Rod Taylor as a mercenary in the Congo trying to recover diamonds and rescue miners and their families. Very brutal for the time based on Wilbur Smiths second book, I hadn't seen it for years and found it on Amazon video.

    I watched Majuba. Not a film that anyone here is likely to have heard of. It is a South African production from 1968, about a conflict between the British military and Boer commandos in 1881.

    It was quite interesting and entertaining, with some grand landscapes and decent battle recreations but not very impressive in terms of the acting which is extremely wooden. As a fan of films such as Zulu, I felt it was worth checking out. The costumes, weapons, and period details were done quite well. It is basically a South African attempt to create a film in the style of something like Zulu, but certainly with a far smaller budget and with some actors who are acting in a very theatrical style.

    As it was Halloween I wanted something a little creepy, so watched " What Lies Beneath"
    I haven't seen it in years but you can clearly see the Hitchcock influence throughout the
    Movie. Even the music harks back to some of those great 60s thrillers.

    On my many recent flights have watched Jaws, Butch Cassidy, The Sting, Unforgiven and some more - I prefer old films on flights as you can drift in and out of them and not lose the plot as seen so many times before.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    If you're referring to Downfall I'm a little surprised by this review. I thought it was superb - brilliant performances which left me surprised that Ganz isn't at least an Oscar nominee.

    I still need to watch that film. I've had a DVD copy for a while now.

    I did say more a couple of posts above, including complimenting Ganz. It certainly was superb.

    You're Next (2011)
    A standard "Home Invasion" horror film, but the twist is one of the "victims", has the
    Skills to fight back. I found it very enjoyable.

    We saw "Keeping Up With The Jones" last night,,,it was very, very funny...Isla Fisher is gorgeous, but so is Gal Gadot...however I'm partial to redheads with some meat on their bones...Isla gets my vote...
