    I watched Death Wish 4:The Crackdown, last night. Cheesy OTT fun! Second favourite Death Wish film after Death Wish 2.

    Paul Greengrass is planning to make a movie about the Utøya tragedy based on Åsne Seierstads book "One of us". Sooner or later a movie will be made about the tragedy, and I think Greengrass is perfectfor it. Åsne Seierstad's book is excelent and I recomend it highly:

    Just watched Speed Racer on Blu Ray, and wow is this still a cool & fun movie! The original cartoon series was influenced by Goldfinger & Presley racing flicks, and that influence is seen heavily in this movie. Pure entertainment.
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Kelly's Heroes. I saw it on TV with my dad once but at the time I wasn't particularly interested in it and didn't remember much, loved it as an adult though. Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Don Rickles all in the same movie? Can't believe it took me so long to watch it. Donald Sutherland stole the show though, I have no clue what Oddball's accent was supposed to be but even that was hilarious.

    Eddie The Eagle. A great biopic about Britain's ski jumping champion who was last in the Olympics but stole the hearts of the watching world. A really good cast and Taron Egerton is brilliant as Eddie.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    I watched The Lego Batman Movie recently with my Father. It was a lot of fun and had tons of laughs for both kids and grown ups alike. I am a big kid so this kind of movie really appeals to me. After the awfulness of Batman Vs Superman and Suicide Squad this movie was just what I needed.

    The Founder: entertaining movie about the beginning of the McDonald's restaurants chain.
    The Lego Batman movie : Charming, fun and very, very funny.

    Sausage Party, R-rated animated film in which foul-mouthed food items in a grocery store learn the horrible truth of their collective fate. Utterly juvenile, but I laughed so hard I was wheezing. Also--a major surprise is that it's largely about THEOLOGY!

    Black Caesar (1973). A Blaxploitation film starring Fred Williamson as a gangster. It also has Gloria Hendry and Julius Harris from LALD. Gloria looks really good in this movie, her hair style is much more attractive than in LALD. Interesting to compare the two films locations, Harlem looks more gritty but then again the photography is a lot sharper in LALD. The film was released in the UK as Godfather Of Harlem and apparently has a sequel, Hell Up In Harlem with the same cast.

    Received the re-mastered new BR release of Heat this morning , brilliant, one of my favourite movies of all time the shootout scenes especially. How about Michael Mann to direct a Bond ?
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,292MI6 Agent
    Hows the remaster? Still got a crappy DVD version!

    Always remember watching this in the cinema and the gunshots felt for real during the shootout / robbery

    Remaster is brilliant, it is the Amazon Prime directors edition, the sound stage takes you into the middle of the action.

    Law Abiding Citizen.

    Reeally enjoyed it and still think Gerard Butler would have been a good Bond.

    The Accountant : very good action thriller, well worth watching.

    Resident Evil: The final Chapter. Basically more of the same, killing Zombies by the thousands. :D

    I saw Logan on Wednesday night. Brilliant film, a fitting end to the Wolverine story. It's a real exploration of family, ageing, and loyalty. And a kick-ass film too!

    ,it always re minds me of The Florida Mall at Sand lake road and Orange blossom trail

    I was at Florida Mall last year on holiday and saw a cop there too (didn't make the connection to the movie though :)) ) - it was a lot quieter than when I had been before - the shopping mall at the north end of International Drive was very busy and seems to have taken a lot of the trade.

  • always shakenalways shaken LondonPosts: 6,287MI6 Agent
    :)) yes I prefer that mall too, Been some where that's been in a film ???? could be the start of a new thread hmmmm

    I just saw Logan this evening. Great film! The performances by Jackman and Stewart are superb - this is a superhero movie like no other and it's one for the ages.

    I've never played any of the games but I really enjoyed the first one, however I thought each sequel got worse and worse. I never made it past the 4th movie.

    Jack reacher never go back. Watched this yesterday, very basic, run of the mill, I'm a bit disappointed really, Cruise is just starting to look aged, not a patch on the first one....
    It was either that.....or the priesthood
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Agreed, I was very disappointed with it too.

    I saw La La Land, first movie at cinema in a long long time. Saw it before the Oscar hoo-ha.

    Great opener and very affecting ending. In between, a bit patchy. Ryan Gosling doesn't really do charisma and initially there seemed to be no chemistry between him and Emma Stone.

    I kept thinking how great it would be with someone like Jean Dujardin in the role.

    And they are the only leads really. No one else gets a look in.

    Gradually I came to see it differently. Stone carries the film, so really this is a Singing in the Rain type movie respun from a female perspective. Gosling is how women see a lot of men, he has that Beckham thing going. Good looking in a bland way, but no personality at all really. In reality I think a lot of women see personality as getting in the way rather than helping. It's a more a case of a bloke thinking, this is how I am, a real card, a joker, rather than how he actually is.

    You could have a more charismatic male lead, but then the slant on the film would be wholly different. I suppose you can say that about the Craig Bond films too, he isn't some sort of wise guy with the witty one liner showing he's top dog all the time.

    Grimsby with Sacha Baron Cohen & Mark Strong ... completely daft & juvenile humour, but had many genuinely laugh out loud moments. I'll never look at an elephant again without having a particular image in my mind :)) .

    Eye in the Sky, a very intelligent thriller that looks at the pros and cons of using drone strikes. Instead of taking a particular side, it dramatizes the effects of a strike on those who call for it (in England), those who execute it (in Nevada), and those who are in the cross-hairs (in East Africa). It also features the final performance of Alan Rickman, who's solid as a British general. Good show.

    I was looking at that on Netflix at the weekend ... couldn't decide if I fancied it or not. I'll give ot a go on your recommendation.
