Film you recently watched: Part 2

Thanks, that looks interesting.

 

Watched "the Sweeney" the other night on normal TV, what a dreadful film, really was shocked how bad it was. I

 

I watched The Damned United. Brilliant film. I had absolutely no knowledge of football in the 70s so i spent hours after browsing wikipedia looking up Don Revie and Brian Clough and Peter Taylor etc.

This is supposed to be quite good, haven't seen it yet myself but it's on my list to watch.

 

Escape to Victory

 

The book is brilliant too.

 

I saw the 2 escobars. Blimey what a sad story.

 

Great film, really enjoyed that film, cloughie legend, hope they do another one about his time at forest.

Second best ever manager

 

I found it hard to put things into context and it made me realise just how little I knew about football history. Boon in 1993 I know pretty much nothing pre-2000s.

The leeds derby rivalry is comparable to United and Arsenal in the mid 2000s perhaps?

 

I think anything nowadays is hard to compare to footy in the 70s, arsenal and man Utd have always been relatively big clubs, Derby were not a big team at all and really came from nowhere to win the league and get to a European semi final, something that unfortunately will never be repeated, it was a sport then, now it is a business

 

Watched Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead last night. Well worth a watch if you've seen the first, laughed throughout.

 

I watched Zombeavers a couple of weeks ago.

It was surprisingly entertaining. I was shocked. Obviously a very low budget movie, with a basic plot and far from excellent acting. But I thought some bits were laugh out loud, with far more than expected (or at least some) subtlety.

Perhaps it is because I am fed up of these big Hollywood explosion borefests, but I really enjoyed a poor cgi, bad acted, not-taken-seriously film, which could take the mick out of itself; without being too loud and in your face about it.

7/10 - It isn't going to be on anyone's Oscar list, but is certainly watchable when drunk.

 

I pitched a movie to a studio executive once about suburban skunk zombies entitled "Zzzzkunks". They didn't go for it but then a few years later this movie came out... I demand royalties!!!

 

Spy.

Made me laugh.

Quote from Susan Cooper, the unlikely heroine -
"I'm the person who's going to cut your **** off and glue it to your forehead so you look like a limp-**** unicorn. That's who the **** I am."

 

Deus machina - great movie. Well acted. Well written.

 

I saw that too. One of those films that I felt I shouldn't watch as it was sort of rubbish, but I struck with it to see what happened next and ended up being relatively entertained till the end.

 

Talaash. Bollywood Movie. Great Ending.

 

Just watched Jurassic World and thought it was decent. Nothing out of this world but a good enough watch if you're a fan of the original. Really like Christ ***** too.

Edit: Pra.t.t is censored, really guys?

 

Fury and Wedding Ringers are decent viewing
Jurassic World is watchable

 

Watched Selma, I was surprised how little I knew on the topic as i'd never learnt about it. It was a brilliant film, amazing that it only happened less than 60 years ago!

 

Sin City. 7/10.

Brilliantly shot and has great characters to match. Drags a bit though. I also can't stand Clive Owen, and his American accent was terrible.

 

Watched Jurassic World last night. Couldn't wrap my head around their solution to killing a big scary dinosaur on the loose. They simply unleashed another scary dinosaur, and left that on the loose instead. The same dinosaur that had terrorised all the people in the previous films. Special effects were incredibly good, which is what I suspect the film to be really about.

 

Re-watched The Departed tonight for the first time in years. Forgot how ****ing good that film is. The tension for the last hour is unpalpable.

 

Terminator Genisys. Pretty disappointing overall, but oh how I do love Arnie.

 

Plan on re watching that in the next few days as I picked it up recently, phenomenal film.


Watched edge of tomorrow/Live die repeat, for the first time the other day, really really enjoyed it. Ending doesn't make sense but other than that a great film.

 

I started watching Casablanca two days ago but the girl I was with complained that old films are rubbish and that the subtitles were too quick, so I had to watch pitch perfect. Pitch perfect was actually alright and i laughed at a few points. The girl though has been demoted to number 4 in my rotation

 

she's on thin ice. between this, her inability to understand sarcasm and slight homophobia, i usually would have got rid ages ago. but she is a massage therapist with a gifted touch and also has a beach house in the north east, so i've settled for relegation to the number 4 slot. i'm going to make her watch the third man on friday morning and if she doesn't like it then she's finished.

the third man for the fourth woman ... excellent

 

The Judge - starring Robert Downey Jr. About a lawyer son and his estranged father, an old judge in some backward country town, who is on trial for murder. A film about law and family values. 7/10
