"Swiss. 3:07 Fri Aug 20 Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021) Re: Becket Unfortunately I watched this load of crap the other day. Not once, was Becket mentioned as a black man in the entire film by the people who were pursuing him. Extremely poor dialogue and acting throughout. If it wasn't for the stunning Greek landscape I would have turned the film off."

"Swiss. 3:07 Fri Aug 20 He's Denzil's son, innit."

"An actor mate had a small part in Maddison County that Eastwood was starring in and directing. On the first day of the shoot, when everyone had arrived, Clint walks in, knowing everyone's eyes are on him, and walked straight to a Mexican cleaner, offered his hand, and introduced himself as Clint Eastwood, the director of the film. ""What's your name, son?"" ""Miguel, sir'. ""This is Miguel"" Eastwood announced to everyone on set. ""Thanks to Miguel we will have a clean workspace, he has as an important role as myself and everyone here. Let's give Miguel a round of applause"". Everyone did, and the tone was set. Respect everyone you work with, whatever their position. Even though my mate had one scene and four or five lines, Eastwood made a conscious effort to spend five minutes with him, shooting the breeze, as he did with everyone. During that chat, they got talking whiskey and my mate mentioned that he loved some brand or other. When the film wrapped, he received a gift from Clint, thanking him for his great work, along with a bottle of his favourite whiskey. The man is class, through and through."

"Saw Beckett which was worse than Tenet which is saying something. I understand but necessarily agree this woke thing to have a black ""lead"" . But fuck me can't Hollywood find a better actor than John David Washington?"

Manuel Seen both of those. I think they did that genre better in the noughties. Today we see a lot of bad immitations. I saw the horror Separation the other day which I thought was pretty good. I like English actor Ruper Friend from his Homeland days. Superb as Quinn.Probably the best character of the whole series. Is he Oralando Bloom's uglier younger brother?

"Swiss - If you like horrors, I thought Hide n Seek with De Niro was very good, bit old now though. The Skeleton Key was deec too."

"Seen bits of some utter bullshit on sky over past few days called ""you, me, madness"" fucking abysmal and nigh on unwatchable."

Suicide squad. Unwatchable bollocks. Worst film in DCEU THE suicide squad. Superb. Best film in DCEU

Aftermath a decent horror.

"zico - I enjoyed BTTF and Die Hard, too. Just watch the ones about the films you enjoyed, I guess"

"SurfaceAgentX2Zero 9:40 Mon Aug 16 I certainly enjoyed The Back to the Future, Jurassic Park and Die Hard ones. Find it interesting how little bits of luck or a gamble end up making a difference. Better documentaries ourt there for sure. Cracking one on Jaws on You Tube for instance."

"I saw The Suicide Squad last night. An absolutely hilarious gore-fest. Idris Elba and John Cena very good and Margot's best effort at Harley by a mile. It sends up the whole genre by taking it entirely OTT, even going so far as to make the antagonist Starro the Conqueror - a truly silly villain who made his debut in 1960 in the first ever appearance of the Justice League."

"zico Some of them are a decent watch, but most verge on being advumentaries. Plus, a lot of the movies are crap."

"Abnyone who likes their films there is a series on Netflix called ""The Movies That Made Us"" which is a good watch. Slightly different slant on documentaries on how some classic movies got made and it's enjoyable and quite surprising at times with it's facts and figures. A good watch."

I'm halfway through the Fear Street trilogy. Quite fun if you like retro style slash horror.

The only thing I’ll ever agree with Manuel on. Eastwood is a living legend.

"Quite enjoyed the low budget Boys from County Hell. Sort of Irish Shawn Of The Dead.. Fast and Furious 9. Fuck me it's ""Jumped the Shark"" as they say."

"Gran Torino and The Mule are great, and without watching his latest film only the trailer you can see its the same mould of character, cant think of a bad film he has made TBH, although the comedy ones look a bit cheesy and dated these days. Rigth turn Clyde!"

"I could watch Eastwood all day. Get onto Gran Torino and The Mule, if you haven't seen them. Greyhound I thought was decent, but Captain Phillips (also Hanks) is better, imo."

"I could watch Eastwood all day. Get onto Gran Torino and The Mule, if you haven't seen them. Greyhound I thought was decent, but Captain Phillips (also Hanks) is better, imo."

"I like Eastwood, always have, he seems to specialise in the hard arse loner with no emotion, or difficulty showing any, funny how that theme runs through so many of his films! Even back to Dirty Harry and the spaghetti westerns Trailer here for Cry Macho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5fQa9kN7pQ Also watched Greyhound last night, expect its been mentioned!!! (not trawling through to check) But a great all action film, and great performance from Tom Hanks, another legend of the screen IMO"

"Clint Eastwood, now 91, has another film out soon, that he also stars in 'Cry Macho' I remember reading that The Mule would be his last acting role. The man is an absolute icon. Legend."

Cheers Chim. I’ll give it a butcher’s.

"RB There's a similar film from last year called Guns Akimbo with Daniel Radcliffe that's great fun too. I watched Those Who Wish Me Dead last night and it was a bit shit to be honest. Spoiler alert but one of the heroes is a six-month pregnant black woman on a horse! Shame really because I expected more from the director, Taylor Sheridon."

Boss Level. A action version of Groundhog Day. Good Friday night movie. Just leave your brain at the door. And don’t except high art.
