I wish I had that much free time

20 min chunks not too bad

[Stevie-A]

In need for some laughs, any comedies you can recommend gents?

Rewatched 'Grosse Pointe Blank' again recently. Still a superb comedy if you've never caught it.

[Macphisto80]

No one else underwhelmed by Logan?

It was good, but the way it had been hyped, I was expecting great.

It's Marvel. Marvel films never meet the hype. Logan is a film that should have happened 10 years ago. At least then we'd have gotten to see Wolverine in the way he was supposed to be, and we wouldn't have extreme schlock shite like X-Men Origins. Logan went against the grain, when it really shouldn't have to have been looked at in that way.

The Hatton Garden Job 2017 HDRip XViD-ETRG

Just appeared in the usual places..

Fast8 - awful, worst of the series

[Skidder.]

Have steered clear of the new Star Trek, but I'm watching it now, and I now know I should have.

I really don't like them at all.

Just watched 'I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore'.

It's bloody great. It's written and directed by Macon Blair - who had a role in Green Room; which I know is rated around here. He was also the lead in 'Blue Ruin' - another of Jeremy Saulnier's films which is great.

The influence of Green Room and Blue Ruin can be seen here. But it is its own film. It's very funny. Bounds along at a great pace. Keeps you guessing. And subverts some tropes nicely.

And it's on Netflix. Give it a watch.

[Phil M]

Finally got round to watching 'I, Daniel Blake..' at the weekend. Powerful and thought provoking stuff with typically great performances but fuck me it's bleak!

Did, a few back, loved it. It got lauded when it was shown at Sundance and won the Grand Jury Prize. A boss little film.

Really enjoyable watch

I watched Green Room last week and then Blue Ruin the day after.

I'll give this film a go sometime this week.

I was going to to watch "The Age Of Shadows"

Switched it off after a minute of dialogue as its dubbed with cheesy American accents.

I'll wait for a version with subtitles.

[Titi Camara]

F&F Bingo! Made me giggle!

It's wonderful. Easily one of the best that have been out this year and personally for its message, considering the state of the world and politics, puts it right at the top.

Now I'm worked up cause I remembered a Tory c*nt complaining about Loach's speech after receiving his Bafta (?) award.

[Buck Pete]

F&F Bingo! Made me giggle!

"Establishing shot of instantly recognisable world city with name of City in huge letters"

[Agent99]

I'm still struggling to understand why these movies are so popular. They are an easy watch but for the new one to have the highest opening weekend of all time just does not compute.

Puberty?

There was literally nothing else for it to compete with out at the minute and the world is full of fucking morons

Maybe I've a weird sense of humour, but I sat pissing myself laughing reading those. Must be because they are all true.

[IgorBobbins]

Watched Hell or High Water a few days ago.  Was expecting great things after reviews on here and elsewhere, but it was very underwhelming.  It was ok, nothing more than that - pretty forumulaic plot, decent acting and cinematography, but nothing hugely memorable! I'm struggling to see why it's so highly rated - what am I missing?

[Titi Camara]

I could have entirely the fucking wrong end of the stick here but....

The Unchartered film is set to be released in the 30th of June but there's fuck all info out there about it. Genuinely don't understand, does anyone know who's playing Drake yet?

No one at Naughty Dog has read the script. No idea what the movie is about let alone its tone. https://t.co/lc64Pevqyk

The script was only finalised in January and they haven't even begun filming or casting yet.

How the fuck can they have a release date for it then? All seems very fucking odd indeed. Probs end up being another huge fucking turkey just like Assassins Creed anyway. The director they have on board did Smokin' Aces and The A Team, hardly a fucking glowing recommendation!

Fuck!

I take it this is more shite based on a game?

The release date was was set back in 15...that's why.

[Macphisto80]

Yeah. So you know it's going to be a bit shite.

[dave 5516]

I watched Assassins Creed...I'll say no more.

December 31 2017...so expect to see next year...

Is this it?

It reminded me of the shite that was this.....

Spotted the Russian avengers/suicide squad clone in out and about shaking it's wares!

The Guardians
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4600952/
During the Cold War, an organization called "Patriot" created a super-hero squad, which includes members of multiple soviet republics. For years, the heroes had to hide their identities, but in hard times they must show themselves again.

Had a little look at it last night, shit subs and not the best picture, but fuck me it was bad! Hoping it might be so bad it's good...a bit like Spawn...will wait for a better copy then try again

I saw this listed here the other day.

Just had a gander at it,the picture is okay,if you do plan on watching it here press the CC button for the subtitles.

[Buck Pete]

Watched yesterday The Keeper of Lost Causes. Those types of films now are difficult to wow you cause we have seen shitloads of them. Still a decent watch as was the background of the story and the story itself.

Part of a trilogy...they're all available. Look for The Absent One and then A Conspiracy Of Faith.

'Department Q' Trilogy Just been repeated on good old BBC4

I'm halfway through the first one: 'Keeper Of Lost causes' and had to come back to work.  I can't wait for 17:30 to watch the second half.

At the moment Danish Crime thrillers have taken over Swedish but its a close call.

Will be steaming though the rest of these before the weeks out.

The third one I saw lately was a massive improvement from the disappointment of the second one. Good acting by one of the leading actors, decent plot although not a whodunit, maybe the religious element was too on the nose in a couple of occasions.

Blurring the lines between film and telly here, I'm confused

I watched Keeper of Lost Causes, has ruined my week as I was up too late early hours of Tuesday thanks to this.

Still won't learn as I'm planning on watching another tonight

[Buck Pete]

Blurring the lines between film and telly here, I'm confused

Yeah true. I didn't know if my search would show up in the TV or Film thread.

They are feature length episodes so either is good I suppose

[Buck Pete]

Just Finished 'Keepr of lost causes'

Film or TV it's still a fucking brilliant piece of work. Tense as fuck and as usual from a Scandie thriller it's brooding and beautiful to look at.  They have a knack of making the bleakest and most ordinary of locations look interesting.

Spoiler

The sequence towards the end which depicted the car crash and how Lars life panned out after was amazingly shot

[close]

Really impressed with it.

[Gifted Right Foot]

Finally watched Logan. Loved it but man that rocked me.

Logan....good movie but was there really any need to make it so depressing?.....I know Jackman wanted out, but it felt at times like a big two fingered fuckoff to the fans of the franchise.....enjoyed it for all its bleakness, but to be honest i was relieved when it was over
