The lists go by how many good reviews there are, not by how well reviewed films are. It’s a review aggregator, unlike IMDb it’s not an opinion site which lists films by actual popularity. Another nuance you are unable to grasp. If you bother to actually have a look rather than dribble bile in a...
I'm pretty sure that Peter Mahew the Star Wars wookie actor lived in Effra Court, bottom of Brixton Hill in the early 1980s.
The IMDB biography online says Mahew was born in Barnes, and worked at Kings College Hospital as an orderly prior to being talent spotted.
He had a one bedroom flat...
Found this short from 2001, The Last Post, with Gael Garcia Bernal and Kevin Knapman as soldiers on either side of the conflict thrown together by circumstances:
The Last Post (2001) - IMDb
This thread has just reminded me that when a bit pissed/pissed off on Saturday I watched the classic reggae movie Rockers on Prime. And signed up automatically from the Amazon box I was using so am now a Prime member. Spose I could keep it, that was smart of them.
Anyway, Rockers is great...
Years behind the curve as usual, I watched this last night - jawdropping stuff (and I still don't really see the point of competitive skateboarding and don't find all the 'sport' sequences exciting at all) - it's the family drama that is so gripping. Heartening that Tas Pappas is still active...
This, the assembly cut is almost a totally different film, and Golic, whose hardly in the original release plays a huge part in this. I'd go as far as saying on iMDB that the assembly cut should have it it's own entry away from the theatrical release. It's still a shame David Fincher dis owns...
A few I've watched since last posting
Hell or High Water (2016) - IMDb
Really enjoyed this one, two brothers robbing banks, and the just about to retire sheriff who wants to nab them.
8/10
Eraserhead (1977) - IMDb
David Lynch's weird debut about a guy, his moany girlfriend, odd mutant child...
Kenny (2017) - IMDb
A sort of biography of Liverpool FC legend Kenny Dalglish, his rise from Scotland, and most importantly his dealings with 2 of Britains worst Sporting disasters. Hillsbrough will seemingly haunt this man forever.
8/10
The Young Offenders (2016) - IMDb
Couple of Irish lads go...
...a love letter in the post about it as there is no uploading for them to track.
I even have an app on my phone which I can share to fromIMDB and it will go off and look for the film for me, then automatically import it into plex. It was much less complicated to set up than I thought it...
Just inspired me to buy the blu ray, got the dvd ages ago and lent it to a mate, so looking forward to watching the full extended cut in hd on the big telly. :thumbs:
Realised I've missed a few out recently.
Marshall (2017) - IMDb
Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court Justice on a case has he also trains up his first white colleague.
7/10
Last Flag Flying (2017) - IMDb
What looks like a good fun film as 3 war vets help one of their...
Los chicos de la guerra (1984) - IMDb
Based on Daniel Kon's book of interviews with veterans from different social classes.
No subs but if you have a go at using the autotranslate feature in settings, everything comes out like Fall lyrics.
The internet has inadvertently enabled misogynists, racists and organised far-right communities to artificially distort public ratings, which sometimes makes platforms such as IMDB pretty unreliable, but if you can factor that in and ignore certain public-voted reviews, I like to speculate most...
It (TV Mini-Series 1990) - IMDb
A re-watch of the original before watching the new film. It's actually aged pretty well all things considered
7/10
It (2017) - IMDb
The new version, which is more the telling of the kids story rather than done from a flashback perspective. A lot of scenes from...
Bit of a binge this weekend while snowed in.
The Florida Project (2017) - IMDb
Follows the exploits mainly of a young girl during the summer holidays in the backlight of Disneyland as her mum, living out of a motel struggles the balancing act.
7/10
Room (2015) - IMDb
Different to what I was...
Park Yeol (2017) - IMDb Korean blockbuster about anarchists Park Yeol and Fumiko Kaneko and their trial for treason which was used to divert attention from the massacre of Koreans in the wake of Japan's 1923 earthquake.
Taeksi Woonjunsa (2017) - IMDb Korean blockbuster about a taxi driver...
Justice League (2017) - IMDb
Whilst not being anywhere as bad as I was actually expecting, it's also not brilliant. The humour falls flat on it's face, and the guy playing the flash by the end of the film is just really annoying. Wish Superman would have come back without some stupid over the...
