A few to catch up on again.
The Dark Crystal (1982) - IMDb
Had never seen this, and my sister loves it, to the point she has tattoos of it. So thought I better give it a spin. What surrpised me was how dark this was for a Henson production and something aimed at kids. If I'd watched this when I...
Parents is truly terrifying:
"Ten-year-old Michael Laemle (Bryan Madorsky) senses that something is not quite right with his family. Sure, his mother, Lily (Mary Beth Hurt), is the perfect 1950s housewife, and they have a comfortable life in the suburbs, where his dad, Nick (Randy Quaid), works...
Pilgrimage (2017) - IMDb Irish entry for the oscars forrin fillum category. It's 1209 and the pope wants a rock, a magic rock in a fancy box that was used to bash saint Matthew's head in, because he reckons he can use it as a wonder weapon against johnny turk. A demented dad burning holy man...
I think Black Mirror is a little deeper than that, and tries to provoke dissent (quite blatently in some episodes)
Apart from that i agree. Hollywood regurgitates the christ myth, communism consistently being undermined.
Example : The Hollywood film Battle in Seattle
Battle in Seattle (2007) -...
A Fish Called Wanda (1988) - IMDb
Yep, I'd never seen this, and it is delightfully funny and British with the best possible outcome you could hope for! 7/10
The Lovers (2017) - IMDb
This started off really well, and the bloke, kinda reminded me of me, especially in scenes when his wife is...
I'm glad someone else loves this as much as me (pilgrim), I've watched it loads, My film of the year, for whatever year it came out!
Had a bit of a film binge today after a heavy day yesterday in Liverpool. Managed to fit 4 in!
Churchill (2017) - IMDb
Brian Cox delivers one of his best...
I'm not hugely into superhero films and generally try to avoid the comic book fanboys output after the shit they pulled after the orphanage fire that was BvS.
It's odd that they are so against it - cannot fathom it at all.
I'm not overly, or painfully, "woke" myself but I think every one of my...
Looking at the IMDb first episode of season 2 synopsis I thought for a moment that Uthred had left the show, but alas I see from some celeb gossip site that this is not the case.
A couple to catch up on
Wakefield (2016) - IMDb
Bryan Cranston stars as a bloke going through a mental breakdown and becomming bitter about his home life. Decides to pretend to go missing and lives in the adjacent (but part of their property so a bit far fetched) attic so he can still keep an...
I find these posters "more engaged" than the recent ones of vomiting unicorns. That said under representation of black people is surely relative.
There are parts of the UK, and even parts of London, where there are hardly any black people. Let me cite an example from my youth - coming from Bury...
Never really liked Sean Pean, and he comes out of this looking like a major arsehole with little regard for a woman's safety...
How a Mexican soap opera star became an political exile and human rights activist. Quite gripping, I thought. It's so new there are no comments/reviews on imdb yet...
A Quiet Passion (2016) - IMDb
The Story of Emily Dickinson, it was ok. 6/10
Colossal (2016) - IMDb (probably giving too much away with the below, so if you are waiting to watch this, you might not want to read on)
Really enjoyed Passengers myself. Wish I'd seen it at the cinema.
It airs on Channel 4 on Sunday nights. Think there are two left.
As for me today:
The Beguiled (2017) - IMDb
Remake of Clint Eastwood film of the same name from the 70s. It was pretty boring despite a solid cast. Most of the...
See, thats a film from 1941, yet theres a relatively busy board for it- people have posted repeatedly throughout 2016 Board: How Green Was My Valley (1941) - IMDb
i expect its idiots posting about films like the Ghostbusters remake that might have tipped this over the edge...
Krasnye dyavolyata [The Red Imps / Little Red Devils] (1923) The added rousing soundtrack with a mix of music styles from classical to folk singing along with sound effects is the star here, also interesting is a black actor [Kador Ben-Salim] playing a leading role in a 1923 Russian film. This...
I couldn't find anything to note but I saw Ms Mirren looking incredibly sexy:
Pictures & Photos from The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) - IMDb
ETA: s & m gorgeousness.
