Power of The Dog was utter shite . Talking of Moonfall. Made Armegeddon look like Shakespeare .

I’ve seen : Nightmare Alley : great Belfast: Enjoyed but lightweight West Side Story : cooee Enjoyed all.

"The Power of the Dog is a load of unwatchable woke shit and Cumberbatch is his usual irritating, overacting, woke cսnt in it."

"Didn't want to start a new thread so on the movie thread it is. Was saddened to hear today that Bruce Willis is retiring from acting as he had aphasia, a condition that affects a person's ability to communicate. I'd never heard of it but I did see a film of his recently and he wasn't himself at all. He has made some dodgy straight to DVD stuff in recent years but loved growing up with Moonlighting and the Die Hard movies etc. Sounds an awful illness and I wish him well."

"Saw The Batman. Lives up to the hype. Dark, atmospheric. Excellent. Watched Copshop last week, enjoyed it, a good yarn."

"Was prepared to hate The Batman but was actually very impressed; its very dark, both literally and metaphorically and too long but it it is really well made and Pattinson makes a really interesting emo Batman"

"Saw ""the batman"" Friday. Very good. More in common with se7en than previous batman films. 30 mins too long though"

"Alfs 2:20 Wed Feb 16 Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022) Keep us updated, sounds like it could be a nightmare for all involved! 8 weeks seems a bit of a push"

"Update from the set of Kit Bag. Old 'limping' Ridley has a temper on him, causing two production staff to burst into tears. JP is pretty cool and often seen having a fag out the back. Extras arrive Friday but the Period Costume Designer is having kittens, as a million quid's worth of Prussian army uniforms are yet to arrive from Pakistan. It's a 67 day shoot with no break, and on day 2, crew are already at the end of their tethers."

"he coming of gary 2:09 Tue Feb 15 Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022 Maybe that, or the French charge at Agincourt."

"Thanks for that NS, been a while since I watched it, amazing cinematography"

"fantastically shot ... any famous battles worthy of a new film? charge of the light brigade, maybe?"

"Officer : Sir, Napoleon has ventured within range. may i have your permission to try a shot ? Wellington : Certainly not. ."

Anon… probably seen the film 20+ times… love everything to do with that part of history… like you say unless you get the whole of the Russian army in as extras (which is what they did) then pretty hard replicating it… fav scene is the charge of the Scotts Greys… absolute goosebumps…. Well that and when the French Old Guard... who had never lost a battle get their bearskinned arses torn apart…. “NOW MAITLAND… NOW’S YOUR TIME”

that was to RBshorty

"Northern Sold 12:17 Tue Feb 15 Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022) Maybe Waterloo ruined it for everyone, I don't think it will ever be beaten in terms of scale, you just don't get thousands of real extras anymore. On top of that it's absolutely beautifully shot, some scenes honestly look like oil paintings."

I’d be right up to watch a movie about old Napoleon… love the Napoleonic times… in fact took the missus up Wellington’s Arch last Thursday with a great day out in the City… first time for everything

Napoleon is the Everest for a lot of film makers Alfs. Even Kubrick shied away from the subject. Ridley well into his 80’s. And only has a few bullets left in the gun. As long as it is well written it should be a winner.

"My missus is working on Kit Bag, the new Ridley Scott film, starring Joaquin Phoenix. He's having a bit of a meltdown with nerves and Ridley is constantly reassuring him. They've taken over Blenheim Palace, costing a million a day, and they're running behind schedule. Lots of screaming and shouting going on. Why Apple TV think a film about Napoleon is worth a $120 million budget, I've no idea. They won't even be able to do product placement."

"Lansky - Better than I expected it to be, really enjoyed Harvey Keitel's performance."

CopShop. Got that 70’s vibe. But not fit to be mentioned next to Carpenter’s Assault On Precinct 13.

"Just watched The Hunt"" on Netflix. Highly bizarre and quite different but weirdly enjoyable."

"Persian Lessons on the iplayer, absolutely brilliant.."
