Wow, that's some read.

Shows how talented she is, sucking all that dick and still not getting cast!

Duchess is by far the worst film I’ve seen for many a year. The bird is about as threatening as a mop, and has substituted any acting ability with “willing to show her arse” - she was more wooden than wood itself. 

And an interesting back story on how she earns her parts - https://variety.com/2020/film/news/char ... 234814357/

No wonder that creepy old nonce Swiss is all
over her

If you come across a movie called Killer Heat then avoid at all costs. Although Shailene Woodley is gorgeous.  

Just watched the Beverly Hills Cop reboot.  I enjoyed it more than I thought I would as the original is fairly iconic - and when that music kicks in... 

Nobody is exceptionally good

Delighted to read that although it's a good year away "Nobody 2" is in the works.  If nobody has seen er "Nobody" then I highly recommend, a thoroughly enjoyable action flick.

I haven't Manuel, but a quick Google tells me that it's not great.

Alfs - Have you seen / heard of Daddio, a film this year with Sean Penn, just filmed entirely in his cab with one female passenger? Looks a bit shitty.

I'm still thinking about Close Range from 86, can't believe I only just watched it. A great film based on a shocking true crime story, and embodies the 80's beautifully, and Madonna's live to tell soundtrack.

Blink Twice is worth a watch. An allegorical tale of how rich men feel it's fine to rape and abuse women.  Quite pertinent with all of the Fayed shit hitting the fan.

I watched James McAvoy's latest offering Speak No Evil, it's a remake from the Danish version in 2022. Bit of a daft plot, but it kept me interested and McAvoy is very convincing as the bad guy.

I watched Longlegs the other night which I thought was quite good if you like serial killer movies with a twist at the end. 

I was on a high speed cross channel ferry about 5-6 years ago (Poole to Cherbourg I think) and Hugh Grant (and his very attractive companion) got on and sat a couple of rows in front. 

He was left to his own devises, very refreshingly not one person 'bothered him' and he made no effort to hide away, up and about several times during the crossing, queuing with everyone else to get off. Seemed perfectly normal to me although the Ferrari wasn't too shabby.

Manny.

Agreed, he was excellent as Jeremy Thorpe.  Shame he's such a sick,he really is good at his job.

Hugh Grant was very good in A Very English Scandal (mini-series) if you haven't seen it.

Watched the Gentlemen at the weekend, thought it was very good, very funny in parts. Nothing new from a Guy Richie film but it worked for me.I think Huw Grant is a prick but he is a very good actor.

As in the Coen brothers.  Fargo etc.

Sorry Swiss aka Mark Kermode.

"New Daniel Craig film looks ''interesting'' - Queer is an 2024 historical romance drama film directed by Luca Guadagnino from a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes, based on the 1985 novel by William S. Burroughs. Set in 1940s Mexico City, the film follows an outcast American expat who becomes infatuated with a younger man."

"Alfs - I have no idea what Coenesque means ffs, but yea could have been better and most films are too long these days, I find myself watching most in two sits now."

"Manuel, not a bad shout for Greedy People but would have been better if it lost twenty minutes.. It tried to be Coenesque but missed the target somewhat. I'll give it a 6/10."

Percy yes from 1998. Do people not fucking understand the point of this thread is on contemporary films. Start a general Films thread if you want.

Watched The Thin Red Line bloody good war film 2hrs 50mins. Saw it in 2 parts.

Alfs is judging a movie from the first 5 mins. Actually the first 5 mins is pretty much the worse bit of Duchess.

Watched Greedy People and thought it was pretty good.
