    I watched Jaws last night still a classic, I'm watching tswlm as I type and it was released only 2 years after jaws and I can't help but think how much better the shark attack scenes are in tswlm. In fact even thunderball had more realistic scenes with sharks in.

    I saw "Quest for fire" last night. For those who haven't seen it the movie from 1981 takes place in the stone age. The group we follow had barely mastered language and live in caves. When their fire is lost it's a crisis because they can't make fire themselves. Three men set out to find new fire and we follow their adventures. This movie is different from any other movie I've seen and is highly reccomended!

    Sounds like One Direction. ;)

    It was nice watching a French movie that didn't need subtitles. I can safety say Quest of fire isn't dialogue heavy. But they kept one great tradition of French cinema: naked chicks.

    I think Apocalypto was another great movie with no subtitles.

    We need more unusual movies, not thirty more superhero movies and countless action movies about a cop in LA/NY who doesn't go by the book. Why not viking movies, movies set in ancient Byzantenum, or the SAS in North Africa in WWII, the Arctic race between Scott and Amundsen etc.

    Thank Odin! "Berserker" is listed as Mel Gibson's next movie to direct :D :D :D

    Trailer for Logan Lucky. With Daniel Craig, I do love a " Caper" movie.

    I remember when the movie came out, one reviewer called it "Quest For The Missionary Position", because that's actually as important to the cavemen's journey of discovery as is boring old fire


    not a film, but last dvd watched was Doctor Who: Power of the Daleks
    an animated reconstruction of Patrick Troughton (the Second Doctor's) longlost first storyline
    dozens of sixties episodes are still completely missing, but this was always conspicuous as its the first time they changed actors: out of all the endless choice of Classic Dr Who episodes, introductions of new Doctors are always essential viewing
    also as a pre-credit teaser they show the first regeneration, from William Hartnell to Troughton, which would technically have been the ending of the previous episode
    I'm used to Troughton being this Chaplin-like clown character, but here he's more like a wise-fool trickster archetype, especially with the flute and the bizarre top hat he keeps wearing

    also we're used to the pattern of companions doubting the new Doctor's identity while the new Doctor spends an episode or two acting all discombobulated and sillier than usual, but this time the concept was unprecedented to the audience and the very people making the show, every regeneration since has been a variation on this one

    so the episodes don't exist anywhere, but apparently the audio does and enough production stills they were able to make a convincing animation of all six episodes

    Watching Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, I havnt seen this for years, one of my ultimate favourite childhood films, just realised Spectre may have copied the Aston/ fiat 500 scene from the opening scenes with the rickshaw?

    Bolgen (The Wave) 2015. A Norwegian film with English subtitles. The film is in the "disaster movie" category and is similar in substance to films like Dante's Peak. Stunning scenery and a plot based on what could happen if a mountain subsided into a lake causing a tsunami (which really has had happened in the past). The acting and CGI is very good. Worth seeking out.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    A fjord, the Geiranger fjord, not a lake. I actually mer a man who experienced the same thing when he was a kid. Roar Uthaug, the director, is now making the new Lara Croft movie.

    Watched Shout at the Devil again yesterday, directed by Peter Hunt and loads of Bond names in the production unit. Why couldn't Roger Moore have played Bond as he does Bassy in the 2nd, dark half, of this . His fight with the German naval officer is brutal ,almost Craig like and the final killing of the villain is colder and revenge filled than anything else I have seen him do.
    If watching it make sure you get the full two hour plus version not the butchered one that has been shown on TV.
    This has to be IMHO Moores best performance.

    finally saw The Night Manager
    trying to rate Hiddleston as a potential Bond, but Hugh Laurie as the villain completely overwhelms him ... Laurie was scaring the poop out of me every scene he was in, I had to keep reminding myself "that's Bertie Wooster, he's not scary, he needs Stephen Fry to tie his shoelaces for him"
    Tom Hollander too I know as a comedian, last I saw he was taking abuse from Peter Capaldi in In the Loop, so that's two comedians being really scary and outclassing poor Tom Hiddleston's performance

    beautiful expensive looking location shots, and being as its Le Carre its completely different pacing than a Bond movie, so its hard to compare what Hiddleston has to do here with what he'd have to do in a Bond film ... still, I wouldn't mind some of this type of slowboiling suspense and paranoia in a Bondfilm in place of the nonstop action sequences


    EDIT: plotwise, this is actually quite similar to License to Kill: gory murder of a woman at the beginning motivates our hero, who then infiltrates the villain's organisation under a false identity and gains his trust, while sowing distrust between the villain and his underlings, seduces the villain's girl, then blows up an armada of the villain's merchandise at the end

    Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales.
    Here's a review by comparison:
    If (like me) you love the first one but thought 2 & 3 were kind of big & noisy with an unsatisfying end, this new one will end up being your second favourite.
    If you loved all of 1, 2 & 3 this will be your fourth favourite.
    If you though 4 was the best... well then, you're on your own, mate. :D
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Wonder Woman

    A good movie. I think it's one of the better superhero movies - good story, good action, good cast. It has a lighter mood than some other superhero movies. It reminds me of Indiana Jones and Captain America.
    Gal Gadot is a good choise for the lead and also very hot!

    Churchill.

    An abomination, by some margin the worst film I've seen in a long, long time. My dad, who is 88, said he wouldn't mind seeing it, and so I went along with it, but it truly is beyond awful. Avoid at all costs.

    I think it was only visible on Gadot in pick-up scenes, so they had to CGI her pregnancy away.

    The Brian Cox one? That's disappointing. I quite fancied that :#


    I watched 'American Psycho' last night ... what a weird yet strangely fascinating film :s

    I had to do some research after watching it to find out what it was actually about :))

    Batman: The Movie 1966 on Blu-ray


    What great, silly and wonderful fun. I must admit I was teary through half the film but I don't think I ever enjoyed it that much like this time.

    All four popular villains working together...Lee Meriwether makes a great Catwoman for this film.

    It is set in the days before D-Day and makes out that Churchill is dead against the invasion and tries to persuade Monty and Eisenhower not to go ahead by turning up with a redrafted alternative plan, they fob him off like he's an embarrassing old relative at a wedding reception. He seems like a senile drunk. None of this seems based on any kind of truth, the dialogue is inane, exposition leaden, and there's this awful pretentious soundtrack and heavy cinematography to distract from the fact its made on a tiny budget. It's insultingly bad.

    Churchill was a drunk, but a highly functional one. But the idea that he was against the D-day landing sounds strange to me and it is at odds with everything I've read on the subject. Sad that a bad movie has been made on such an interesting subject.
