    The Andromeda Strain :
    Another great 70s sci-fi classic, a little slow moving by today's standards, but a great idea.

    Grimsby. Sacha Baron Cohen as a lager swilling football hooligan and Mark Strong as a DC-Bond style secret agent team up to save the world. Vulgar but funny action-comedy with lots of well known faces.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Agreed, I found it very funny but also very vulgar and tasteless, .......... A bit like me then. :D

    One of my all time favourite films is THE DRIVER starring Ryan O Neal and Bruce Dern , Now whilst bored the other I day I tried looking for it on AMAZON only to find DRIVER starring Ryan Gosling ,ok ill watch that , A similar story line starring a man with very similar boyish good looks as the young Mr O Neal hmmmm is this a re-make ?? a good film non the less ,but don't stay up late to watch it .
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Laurel and Hardy's 'The Music Box'. Never have two men getting a piano up some steps been so funny.

    Strategic Air Command starring Brigadier General James Stewart USAF Reserve plus great aerial photography of "six turnin' and four burnin" B-36 Peacemaker bombers. Pure cold war propaganda but fantastic flying sequences and Jimmy Stewart basically playing himself, a former WW2 Bomb Group commander flying B-36s . Stewart was qualified to fly the B-36, B-47,B-52 and the supersonic B-58 Hustler and flew on at least one B-52 Arc-light bombing mission over Vietnam.

    I finally got round to seeing The Hateful Eight during the weekend.

    While I've always enjoyed Quentin Tarantino's films, I must admit to having become a little bit tired of them. His only post-2000 work that I really loved was Inglourious Basterds. The Hateful Eight was refreshing though - I enjoyed the tight containment of the setting, the constant build-up of tension, and of course the excellent Ultra-Panavision cinematography, both in the expansive outdoor scenes and the moody interiors. One of my favourite aspects though, was that it didn't have a jukebox soundtrack of hits from Tarantino's record collection, but rather a subtle, moody score from the great Ennio Morricone, with only a few source cues and songs thrown in. It reminded me of his early films, which were not so intent on copying specific genre styles but rather were exciting cinematic creations with their own unique style.

    Robin Hood 1938 Starring Errol Flynn

    The DVD had a 'night at the movies' program that featured the original previews, newsreels, musicals and cartoons that preceded the feature. It was fun way to set the mood and imagine being at the cinema in 1938.

    Overall, I quite enjoyed this version of Robin Hood..perhaps even enough to consider it the definitive version. There are a few things about it that bother me:

    1. We only get like one scene with Maid Marian showing her gorgeous hair. The rest of the time she is wearing that ridiculous unsexy costume.

    2. After all the fuss about killing the king's deer and then Robin takes it into the castle and drops it on the table in front of Prince John. Didn't Much kill the deer because his family was starving? And then Robin takes it and gives it back to the Prince for no real reason?

    3. Robin and co are sure mean to Friar Tuck right from the get-go. Then every scene includes fat jokes directed at the Friar which gets old real quick.

    I'd give it an 8/10
    My current 10 favorite:

    1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK

    Haven't you heard that Robin Hood steals from the poor to give to the rich? 8-) :D

    It probably isn't the same deer, so he brings one along to goad the Prince, as if to flaunt his treason or what have you. Like, what are you going to make of that? Anyway, if he favoured the peasant he probably saw him right for meat and drink as tends to do that with strangers he meets.

    I Am Wrath starring John Travolta. Same old story of an ex-black-ops veteran taking revenge on the gang who killed his wife only to find that the trail leads to the top of the political spectrum. It's an ok actioner and mercifully short at under 90 minutes but it's all been done before by Seagal and co.

    Watched two films on the plane

    Suicide Squad: concept good but shocking execution, plot etc.

    Jason Bourne: Im a big fan but this was a case of ran out of ideas, kind of like a best of as most scenes were rehashed from previous but nowhere near as good. Kind of puzzled why they bothered to be honest, actually preferred the spin off / last film

    Does this film look lovely to look at if I take my elderly mum? Or is there too much action, making it harrowing? Also, do we need to have seen last year's SW film to follow it?

    Lots of action mate! Unless explosions are her thing I would avoid :o

    Def dont need to see Force Awakens as its nothing to do with it.

    This one is the beginning of the original trilogy (it helps forget about the prequel trilogy lol).

    Outstanding sci-fi commando flick...which happens to fit in just ahead of Episode IV in the Star Wars mythos. Brilliant.

    I recently saw two very different films about being old. First up was Atom Egoyan's latest, Remember, which involves a pair of nonagenarian Auschwitz survivors in a nursing home. One, played by Martin Landau, has a sharp mind but is wheelchair bound; while the other, Christopher Plummer, is physically sound but has bouts of senile dementia. Landau commissions Plummer to go out, armed with a letter he has to keep re-reading (otherwise he'd forget what he's doing), and hunt for the SS officer who destroyed their families. The story at times verges on being ludicrous--it's also very much borrowed from Memento and from the great 1955 story "Master Race" that appeared in the E.C. comic Impact--but somehow, maybe because of the sincere and even moving performance by Plummer, it works.

    On the other hand is Dirty Grandpa, with Robert De Niro at a career low as a man who, the day after his wife's funeral, decides he wants to go out and "f***, f***, f***!" He grabs up his repressed grandson, played by Zac Effron, and proceeds to the Florida Spring Break scene. I expected the movie to be crude and gross, but I didn't know it would be so unfunny.

    I watched three Daniel Craig films today.

    Infamous, which was brilliant.

    The Mother, which was controversial but memorable.

    Road To perdition, which is probably good but is just not my sort of film.

    By a country mile, I preferred Infamous of the three. A very decent film indeed.

    I too saw Rouge One. To be honest I have been indifferent to episode 4-6 and disliked part1-3, but both this one and part 7 have been very entertaining. :)
    I know a girl who looks like Felicity Jones' younger sister, so that felt odd ......

    "you've gotta be kidding me im blind" had the whole audience in laughter . :))

    OHMSS the Christmas Eve tradition in our house. I have all my movies on Google Play and chromecast to the TV - I have to say that the quality of the picture is outstanding.

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Agreed, I have quite a few movies on Google movies ( got the Nolan Batman trilogy yesterday )
    And I'm very happy with the quality of them.
