Ah ok then fair enough. Theatre type musical reboots are fine.

Aye - RHPS is one of the most closely guarded musicals I'm lead to believe. I was told in College that it is very hard to get the rights to perform it.

I don't think we'll be seeing a remake in our lifetime if I am honest; Richard O'Brien owns the rights and I really can't see him giving the cash cow up.  If he genuinely wanted it to be remade, I'm sure he would have by now.

TIL the dude from Crytsal Maze created Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Green Room = complete and utter shite.

have you seen the directors other films ?

[AJ]

have you seen the directors other films ?

No idea pal. I'm not much a boffin when it comes to films. I don't even know who the director was, let alone whether I've seen any other films by him/her.

Watched yesterday In My Father's Den

Oh absolutely brilliant. It's worth a watch just for the character development and the tragic nature of them alone. Great dynamic between the two main characters, plot is great (has its small twist) and lovely how the pieces of the jigsaw fall into place.

Thoroughly recommended. It's a damn shame the director died few years later. His first and only feature film.

Interested to see this but can't find it on Amazon, Netflix or my dodgy box?

Watched The Jungle Book last week I thought that it was fantastic, Idris Elba was brilliant as the Tiger.

[Igor Tripod Biscan]

Just watched All the way

Its the story of LBJ (Bryan Cranston) and his first year in office transitioning from VP to president

Anthony Mackie plays MLK (not a great choice in my view - didn't have the gravitas) and Melisa Leo plays Lady Bird Johnson

A really strong cast like Frank Langella and Bradley Whitford made it really enjoyable

Its a bit like a prequel to Selma although obviously from a different narrative perspective

Good watch though!

Yeah, had a pop at that with the one seeder

A good film that la....a lot more than a film about violence at the game. Also pretty close to the reality of what we did....Max knows.

What did you think of the remake buddy?

[dave 5516]

What did you think of the remake buddy?

I never watched it Rob. The original was a good film-a socio-political....even if most see it as a hooligan film there's more going on...it was a Clarke film after all.....the remake looked more a...glorification of a time that I recall as one that wasn't one to be looked at in a positive light...there were though lots of things I wouldn't change from back then, even with hindsight.

There were some aspects of Clarke's film that grated though-I thought the writing made out that the protagonists to be one dimensional...neanderthals....not all football hooligans were stupid...what it did point out quite well I thought was the fact that while the violence was part of football football was as much a victim of this behaviour as were.... families out shopping who were caught up in the violence....it also answered the question of why do these people do as they do and were do these come from....not everyone who was hooligan came from a working class background....the main characters in this were mid twenties middle class.

Along with Scum and Elephant, the Firm is one of best his films...and imo, Clarke was the best director of that generation...I suppose he was fortunate that he worked in a more enlightened time....not many one off plays being made by the BBC or anyone just now...it's all about returning series...

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

The Brothers Grimsby.

Just watched both

13 Hours = Predictably 'USA! USA! USA!' (Michael Bay innit!)

Grimsby = Absolute puerile shite but I'm ashamed to say I did laugh at a few bits, mainly the visual gags and some slapstick - You get what you expect with sacha baron cohen, (a bit like with most Will Ferrell movies) which is disappointing given his talent and intelligence - Appealing to the lowest common denominator but there were some funny moments

Condolences...that lost time. YNWA.

The Fallen Idol.

Restored and looks beautiful.

First collaboration between Reed and Greene.  A simple premise that is played beautifully. The young son of a diplomat believes he has witnessed the murder of the embassy house keeper  by her husband and his close friend Baines- a man who is having an affair with the embassy secretary....it's a fantastic study of human emotions, devotion, loyalties, duplicities and perceptions.

I'll admit to liking this more than the other two they worked on...I know...   It really is a must watch. It's available in the usual gaffs...honestly, it's a beautiful film with great performances, sets, writing and direction.

Ha ha I genuinely didn't think you'd take the bait brother! I know you haven't and wouldn't watch the remake lol

The bit in the original when the baby puts the blade in it's mouth still makes my stomach churn to this day. Tidy film but!

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Awful insomnia last night so put this on. By no means terrible. Imagine Black Hawk Down where you couldn't give a fuck who won....

How good is the Russian film Come and See ? I have it for some time but I haven't watched it yet waiting for the right mood to be in. I have heard great things about it.

How good..you won't see a better war film, ever.

I once heard it described as a film in which the living envied the dead....it's a difficult watch, but it's one of those Great Films that you have to see....and whilst people are incredulous that a child could witness and survive all that happens in the film, it is based on a true story. The person who took part in, witnessed and then wrote of those expliots, Ales Adamovich was the same age as the hero in the film. He and his family fought with the partisans and witnessed the genocide perpetrated by the Nazis on Belarussian soil. He also helped Klimov write the story for the film.

As I say..a truely Great Film.

[Yiannis]

Thanks Dave. The person who recommended it to me, also told me they had a psychologist along the set to help the kid as much as possible.

[dave 5516]

Thanks Dave. The person who recommended it to me, also told me they had a psychologist along the set to help the kid as much as possible.

I can understand that as Klimov used no professional actors in the film. There are scenes that are depictions of acts that are...pure evil and difficult even for me to take...and I'm more or less inured to violence in films.

I'd also recommend Eisenstein's Alexsander Nevsky. This is a beautiful yet harrowing...piece of pre war propaganda...a fantastic polemic against Nazi Germany.

Also very prescient in scenes, one in particular shows what was to come with the arrival of the Wehrmacht, SS and Einsatzgruppen on Soviet territory...scenes we see years later depicted in Klimov's film.

The music is brilliant, a score by Sergei Prokofiev...for me,it's a companion piece to Klimov's film-I always watch them together. My favourite of the Great directors work.

[mattybeard]

Going to watch Money Monster this weekend, I like the look of it in the trailer but that's usually a bad sign.

[Titi Camara]

Fucka.

Ha ha!



And that's super cool on the BHD front.....probably less actual Americans involved that film than there are in North Korea!

Set up and ready to go with this here if anybody is interested:

http://123movies.to/film/in-my-fathers-den-6158/watching.html

I'll let you know what I thought of it a bit later.

If anybody likes the harrowing and hard hitting stuff then give 'Catch Me Daddy' a go if you haven't already. Excellent first effort from Directors Daniel and Matthew Wolfe and also a movie debut for Sameena Jabeen Ahmed as Laila. The scene where she is dancing to Patti Smith's 'Horses' is fantastic as the song leads to not just the songs encore but her life into madness.

Strongly recommend it. Stream it here if you do it that way:

durable? its like a juiced up GoT or LotR minus all the, you know, content. its Mad Max without any compelling aspect at all. i was bored.
