    One-and-done film actors

    Was watching Jerry Maguire last night. The guy playing Jerry's old-timey mentor, Jared Jussim - dispensing hokey life advice in the third wall-defying inserts - was very warm and watchable. I had a peek at the wiki and learned that he wasn't an actor but an ageing lawyer at the studio who...

    In praise of subtitles

    I had a programme where I couldn't tell which East Asian language was being used by two very minor characters, and there was no script and no useful info on IMDB. I asked a colleague who speaks Mandarin and Korean, and he couldn't tell. I asked around and no one who was working that day could...

    Other People. From IMDB: A struggling comedy writer, fresh off a breakup and in the midst of the worst year of his life, returns to Sacramento to care for his dying mother. Another really good film. Had a run of them this weekend, and it's no coincidence that I picked all 3 because Jesse...

    Summer of Soul, or when the Revolution Could not be Televised - Don't Miss this One

    I saw this yesterday, and I would recommend it to each and every one of you. It's the sort of film where you come out on a high, and it's not just because of the ecstatic groove running through the music (gospel, jazz, Staple Singers, Sly Stone, Gladys Knight and so many more). It's a really...

    A Touch Of Frost

    Well I’m about half way through the entire series. DS Bardock (the chief constables nephew) being shot at the end of the last episode was quite a sad moment but overall I’m really enjoying it. I find Mr Mullet to be quite hilarious, reminds me of any number of managers I’ve had. The actor...

    What's The Best Film Most People Have Never Seen?

    Home. French film. Life for an isolated rural family is upended when a major highway next to their property, constructed 10 years before but apparently abandoned, is finally opened. (Description taken from Imdb). Genuinely such a great film and well worth a watch.

    Amazon Prime streaming video recommendations thread

    :hmm: indeed... I’ve learned to disregard negative reviews from just one of the three focus groups I check- professional critics (R. Tomatoes), audience reviews often subject to malicious downvoting or immature high praise (IMDB), more balanced audience reviews (Google users). But when...

    Ready Player One

    i messed up an earlier post - from Artaxerxes photo of the book The IMDB Trivia section is the longest list of the little nods and winks - there must be hundreds in the film (doesnt include these Brazil ones though)

    Started watching today. It sucked me right in, brilliant!!!! Huge score on IMDB too (I just checked). I started watching at lunchtime, as it popped up on my screen and I'm 4 episodes in and it just gets better and better. It's funny, well written, well acted... Just as I was trying to take...

    This looks pretty shit. From Disney

    What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

    Agnes is Mickey Reece's follow up to Climate of the Hunter. I enjoyed the offbeat quality and 70s daytime soap aesthetics of Climate of the Hunter and while the same deadpan humour and camp sensibility are present in Agnes, it's a far more polished, professional looking film. I can see how...

    URBAN'S FIFTY (one) FAVOURITE WAR MOVIES

    Thats the last way I would go about when trying to find out which films are any good. You’ll always find random people who think some trash is a masterpiece if you go by IMDb. Even the overall score of 6.7 far from indicates rave reviews.

    Best film of 2019

    I've done a count and I've seen 77 from this year going more or less by their release dates but some end of year lists include ones I saw in 2018. The guardian has Foxtrot and One Cut of The Dead n their top 50 for example. Whittled down list with top 10 bolded. If there are any glaring...
