Problem with Shawshank is that if you know the twist it ruins the film, a bit like Shutter Island great film but a watch only once IMHO.

Overrated, like Oasis.Shawshank, the cinematic version of Coldplay.
Watch Papillon (1973) instead.

Set in the near future, a dying man has himself cloned.
Slow burner, no guns or bombs, I liked it.

No where near as good as any John Wick film but still a decent watch.

Problem I had with Shutter Island is that I had read the book before the film so I knew exactly what was going onProblem with Shawshank is that if you know the twist it ruins the film, a bit like Shutter Island great film but a watch only once IMHO.

I have watched some shite recently but the award for worst goes to Triangle Of Sadness. 0/5
Then watched Bodies Bodies Bodies which was only narrowly better

I think film writers haven’t got a clue , all films today are either remakes , horror films that don’t make any sense and action films which are so fucking unbelievable in the sense of how many they can kill in under 2 hours the latest being Ballerina.
There's wanting to be outrageous with an opinion and then there's this.Shawshank, the cinematic version of Coldplay.

Watched Ballerina overnight. Meh. Even the goddess that is Ana De Armas can't save it. 3/10, because I'm feeling generous.

Remember seeing it on Ch4 Moviesromw a good few years back.
Enjoyable but pretty brutal if I remember.
Aww. That's sweet. Proof that no man is an island.I think his film takes are decent, I think.
I happen to agree with him.
I'm not having that. What makes it such a masterpiece is it's an immensely rewatchable movie. Pick any bit and I'm watching the next 20 minutes. On the roof? The tunnel? The new fish? All of it.Problem with Shawshank is that if you know the twist it ruins the film, a bit like Shutter Island great film but a watch only once IMHO.

Its big hook is its ending, once I know the plot of a film like Shawshank for me its a once only deal mate.
