True history of the kelly gang - Netflix - I don't know what to think tbh. It was bizarre.

Tenet. Enjoyed it but you have to watch it, really watch it, to follow it. 7/10

And with subtitles as it’s bloody hard to hear

Yeah, she wasn't at all liekable, and the whole issue of her being there was pretty poorly handled.

If it came from Lord of the Flies, it's unrecognisable as such.

I've seen that film and its nothing like Lord of the Flies.

I actually enjoyed it as a mindless throw away movie. Dont try looking for any deeper meaning.

 

[Two Gun Bob]

It's an awful film, especially if it truly takes its cue from the brilliant 'Lord of the Flies'.

Totally misses the point of the the 'them and us' deduction.

I don't think I've ever seen such a bad version of the book's inspiration.

Sorry my bad Bigga and you can now relax as I actually meant Animal Farm. A maybe tongue in cheeky approach that wooshed over the audiences heads but I thought the cameo performance by that piglet was beyond the superlative and like true movie affieciandos we both latched on immediatly to what the director was espousing. The poorly-run Manor Farm became ripened for rebellion from its animal populace by neglect at the hands of the irresponsible and alcoholic farmer, mr jones. Again apologies for my Faux- Pax however I did indeed vote for lord of the flies and it should be getting a mention in the book thread anytime soon. The Hunted was a very good watch and certainly better than the Hungry Games genre.

The King Of New York

The soundtrack kicks.



The stylised visuals of 90s New York are off the scale.

The story hints at the true extent of the corruption of NY, and the film clearly captures a moment in time extremely well. But it boils down to mindless ridiculously poorly staged over-stylised gunfights and inane, awkward hagiography of mob life that doesn't ring true. Every bad 90s gangster cliche seems to have originated here.

I guess it's trying to do for NY what John Woo did for Tokyo Crime Films, but, nah.... I'm still calling this film an utter abomination. Chris Walken's incredibly awkward dance in the first ten minutes sets the tone.

The chemistry is just all wrong, although it might be a bit different if you had a big enough pile of fine-ass coke. Maybe that's the point. They even sped up the songs on the soundtrack towards the end.

Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, love them both but I'll go against the grain and say I prefer the first one.

 

[Mayor West]

Holmes and Watson. A few laugh out loud moments, a half decent way to pass 90 minutes.

Decided to rent Gandhi the other night. Second time round. Saw it in the cinema first time. A good biopic. Perhaps a bit longer than it should be.
