Be Excellent To Each Other

Deadpool 2 was a fifteen, and had the word "cunt" more than once, which I don't think I've heard in a 15 before.

Watched a film. It was called Upgrade.

Here’s the pitch: Man gets microchip in his neck and then does violent murders.

It’s great.

(Summary: It doesn’t break any new ground; nonoutstandig acting, simply serviceable; the kooky IT wizard is shit; it’s a bit daft; the cinematography is quite good though; the violence is groovy; i think it’s filmed on digital camera so it looks a bit cheap; it nicely tips over 90 minutes run-time which is just right.)

United 93 is a masterful motion picture. Its impact stays with the viewer; its images are hard to shake. In the years since 9/11, much of what happened that day has become ingrained in our culture. We have absorbed it. United 93 picks the scab and brings back the freshness of the wound. But the passage of time allows us to see the events of this film in a larger context. I do not use the phrase "must see" lightly (and there are those for whom this film may be too painful). Seeing United 93 represents a difficult film-going experience, and one that should not be undertaken lightly. It's hard to imagine anyone not being affected on some level by United 93. But the value of what this picture imparts is worth the challenge of sitting through it. When I compile my Top 10 list of films for 2006, United 93 will be on it, and almost certainly close to the top.

In this witty and ultra-violent thriller, a mild-mannered farmer sets off on a bloody quest for vengeance after his elderly mother is murdered. As he tracks her killers through the criminal underworld of Belfast, he begins to realize that there was a darker side to his beloved mother--and to himself.

"The Equalizer 2 is a reasonably well-written and (of course) beautifully acted serving of geriatric-virility violence porn, with Washington on the trail of Leo's assassins."

"It's slick, violent, fast-paced, well acted but by-the-numbers summer fare."

Daft comparison of things a corporation did decades ago with things an individual did less than ten years ago. Things the corporation did were often accepted by standards of the time, things the individual did would have been considered abhorrent by a lot of folks in their time's context.

Either way can we really except Disney to not react as they did, being as they are a rapacious corporation concerned only with profit and image?

Joseph Walsh for The Skinny gave the film a rating of five stars out of five and states "You Were Never Really Here is a brutal, punishing watch, but every minute is a masterclass in filmmaking. It's like a one-inch-punch to the gut, winding you from the start and giving you no respite. This exquisite examination of suffering will leave you staggering from the cinema".[18] Matt Bobkin for Exclaim! gave the film a 9 out of 10 score, describing it as "dizzying, horrifying and utterly compelling."[19]

Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave the film 4 stars, saying that the film "is a taut and almost unbearably intense 90-minutes, without an ounce of fat on it. Ramsay doesn't give you a second to breathe."[16] Guy Lodge for Variety said Ramsay may be the world's "greatest working filmmaker", and called it "astonishing... a stark, sinewy, slashed-to-the-bone hitman thriller far more concerned with the man than the hit."[17]

What Hollywood stars are in It Comes At Night?

I watched Annihilation. I thought it was quite good bar a couple of yawnsome plot points.



And that JJ Abrams was allowed to do multiple cameos as giant lens flares.

5/10

can you sum it up, so i don't have t watch it?

It's worth it because of how much you love it.

Remember Robert Patinson of moody Twilight fame? What a one hit wonder he was, aye? Well, turns out he can actually act. I watched him in “Good Time” and he was fantastic.

It’s about two brothers who commit a bank robbery and it goes awry and one brother gets locked up. The story is then just Pattinson trying to get enough bail money together to get his brother out of jail. The performances from everyone are terrific but Pattinson is the stand out.

Well worth a watch.

Thank fuck Pan Face is nowhere in sight out of 10

ICARUS - A dude called Bryan Fogel set out to make a documentary about doping in professional sport, as he'd been disturbed by high-profile cases such as Lance Armstrong getting away with it forever with apparent ease. The documentary was to be about nothing more than him entering the premier amateur cycle race in the world (think an amateur Tour De France) whilst doping, and getting away with it.

However, during the course of his preparations he's put in contact with a Russian doctor to help him with his doping regime, and ends up blowing the lid on decades of Russian doping in sport, that culminated with Russia nearly getting banned outright from the 2016 Rio Olympics. (And includes astonishing insider reveals of how Russia cheated at the Sochi Winter Olympics with shenanigans that seem to belong in a James Bond film.)

What elevates this film is that Fogel and Rodchenkov are both likeable characters, Rodchenkov in particular is a documentarian's dream, I've seen him described as 'eccentric, garrulous, frequently shirtless, and immensely charming', and it's often easy to forget you're actually watching a documentary.

It takes a serious turn for the sinister when some people involved with the State-sponsored programme start 'dying', and Rodchenkov decides to leave Russia or end up the same way himself, and once in the States agrees to turn witness to blow the whole thing apart.

A truly fascinating watch.

841/1000

GazChap's mention of "fire extinguisher" is a reply to a screenshot of a conversation AE had with someone called 'Gareth' that starts by talking about Escape Plan.

We watched Three Billboards Outside Epping, Missouri last night. Much of the pre-release hype about it seemed to label it as a black comedy, but I'm not sure I'd go that far - it's nowhere near as amusing as Martin McDonagh's previous work (thinking specifically of In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths) but that's not a bad thing.

Fantastic performances all-round, Frances McDormand is amazing, Woody Harrelson somehow manages to get across a whole spectrum of emotion from one scene to another in a way that I'd never really considered him to be capable of doing, and Sam Rockwell is... well, he's Sam Rockwell.

8/10.

(to generalise: feeling like an outcast just because of your skin colour) would be lost on some white audiences.

It's just First Blood, isn't it?

Yeah I mentioned this when it first came on Netflix. Amazing film. Reminded me of After Hours more than anything, just a crazy trip through the night that doesn't let up for a moment.

'Good Time' is a prime example of what the cynical or the uninterested might dismiss as “feel-bad cinema” — low budget, kitchen-sink realism about unpleasant people in worse situations. It also happens to be one of the most uncompromising movies I’ve seen all year: vibrant and desperate and alive, it’s a work hanging on by its fingernails. If you lament the loss of that gutter ferocity with which filmmakers like Martin Scorsese once walked the Earth, brother, here’s your cinematic B-12 shot.

Natural born killers

I watched Jigsaw. It’s terrible.

If you must watch a Saw film just watch 1 & 2 and pretend they decided to end it there.

If only there were other ways to watch a movie than with bits cut out and lots of advert breaks.

I like these guys in general, and their Bright review I thought was particularly good. Not seen the movie yet though

I'm about halfway through Bright. It's... okay. Some heavy handed race relations allegories, and largely carried by Mr Smith.

Bright’s reviews have been incredibly bad. And the trailer looked bad. And I say this as someone who played Shadowrun for many years, so I’m down with urban fantasy.

Happened in real life too, weirdly
