Winchester 73 only old fuckers like me will remember it.
If you've not seen them, try The 12th Man, and, Narvik. 2 more foreign language war films, both outstanding.
Watched it last night... Very goodNumber 24 (Netflix) - absolute quality, and a brutal true story.
That's Nolan for you he's shit when it comes to sound via dialogue. He's aware but seems a bit of a stubborn bastard.Just watched 30 mins of Oppenheimer. It was awful, I just don’t get modern film-making sometimes. The constant background music was bad enough but the editing was all over the place with short scene after short scene, it was like a highlights package.
I know it’s a slow story and they tried to make it more compelling with the music, the fast pace storytelling and mix of colour and black and white but I thought it was a mess.
Watched Flight - Gerard Butler (yes, I know !) as an heroic airline pilot fighting to protect his passengers who’ve crash landed on a lawless Philippine island. Cliched as fuck - just about okay for 30 mins or so, then plot falls of a cliff. Competent action scenes but childlike storyline. I wouldn’t recommend it 4/10
Nowhere to Run (1993) - 6/10
Van Damme escapes prison and then helps a woman try to save her farm from property developers so he can shag her.
