Last Film You Saw

[TonyM]

Under Paris. Shark in the Seine, 6/10.

I hate to sound like a Pierre Poopipants but let's be honest here. The sharks were pretty poor actors.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Open water
The Reef
Both good shark films I'd say.

The Shallows is decent.

Godzilla minus one. It passed the time.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Lawrence of Arabia (remastered) looks and sounds stunning in 4k, but I thought the scripting and acting was very poor at nearly 4 hours long it’s one of those old epic films, the first 5 mins is a blank screen with just music and it even had an intermission! Quite a remarkable story of one man in Arabia, looking on Wikipedia he did a lot in such a short life, 6/10

Compared with Nick Cage they were magnificent!!

 

[Always Ali]

Under Paris - Please make it stop, please. 2/10

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

The Hit Man not too bad, something a bit different. Not what you expect from the title, he's only posing as a hitman undercover to entrap people trying to hire a killer for the police, entertaining and the main actress is mega. 7/10

The First Omen. 7.5/10

Wasn't expecting much to be honest but it was much better than I had expected.
Plus the main female lead was really good.

The Ministry For UngentleManly Warfare. (2024)

I Managed to track this film down on the Sky Store, but turned off after half an hour. I love a good war film, but maybe my asperations were set too high, I didnt realise the film was designed as a tongue in cheek affair.

I'd say it was a cross between the Dirty Dozen, Robin Hood, The A team, Kill Bill, and those muderously wonderful Inglorias Bastards. I made it to the first raid were they were instructed to free one of the chosen few from a heavily defended German compound, but was left mouth aghast, at the comic antics that unfolded. Mein gotte das ist nicht gut!

Aparantly it was based on an SBS type true story, and what should have been a serious, tension-filled drama should not have been so Gun- ho silly. My bad, as I probably misread the mechanics of the film, and will have to pop back for a second sitting owing to the high reviews it got.

A blast from the sten gun, a quick lob of a pineapple, and then all back home in time for tea.



1st sitting. 6/10
