Nobody 2 trailer just dropped. Looks fun.

Watched Hostile (2018) yesterday, worst ending to a film ever. 

Wolf Creek 3  incoming 
I reckon  Mick Taylor is   from Mile - End stock.
 

Funny how we all have different tastes. Saw Havoc tonight and struggled to finish it. I like Tom Hardy but I felt it was a CGI mess, bit like a video game. So sorry Swiss will have to agree to disagree on that one! 

Watched Place of Bones (Heather Graham the other day, good little western as it goes.

Will watch that later.  Was going to watch it the other night but read that the other new action flick on Netflix "Exterritorial" was better although I must say whislt it was ok it was over long and got a bit dull.  Stumbled across on Prime "The Birdcage" last night. Seen it twice before and I stll find it funny. If anyone hasn't seen it I would highly recommend.  The late greats Robin Williams and Gene Hackman are brilliant and Nathan Lane should at least have got an Oscar nomination.  Only downside was five sets of adverts in one film all promoting a bloody Phillips Air Fryer!

If you like black comedy then Another Simple Favour is quite fun. Not as good as the first one though. Also Screamboat is a great laugh if you like slasher comedies. 

I also watched a low budget horror The Bayou. Wasn't expecting much but was pleastly surprised.

Indeed The Grey was a good film.  I forgot about the Commuter which is also decent enough.  Both Neeson and Statham would make a good "mature" James Bond!

Another film my mate told me about was The Ghosts of War a a 2020 British supernatural horror film.  Watched it last night.  Decent enough but still can't work out if I enjoyed it or not!

Yea you can't go wrong with Statham or Neeson, you know what you are going to get and can just sit and enjoy a film. A working man was good, maybe Statham's best for a while, and you always get a bit of humour chucked in. Was probably 15/20 mins too long though.

Before the devil knows you're dead..

The man who wasn't there .

After been taken to the cleaners by Manny ...I  retreated to my safe space
I feel better now

Agree on Statham and Neeson although old Liam is getting on a bit now. Pity he left it so late for the action genre as he was 54 when he made Taken.  I thought A Walk Among the Tombstones and Unknown were two of his better other ones.

A mate suggested Guy Ritchie's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare the other day and I watched it last night.  I can find Ritchie a bit hit and miss at times but enjoyed this bloodthirsty romp.  Decent cast with Henry Cavill, the lovely Eiza González, and Jack Reacher's Alan Ritchson,

I really enjoyed Death of a Unicorn.

Tonght it's G20.  

I thought Monster Summer was quite fun. I means a kids movie I guess.

Unfortunaley Stephen Graham was not available for this film.

Hopefully Denis Villeneuve will direct it as well. 

 

Doubt it mate.
He didn’t direct the second one, and reckon he’ll be up to his eyeballs with the third Dune.

Shame though, fantastic director.

 

I fink PRISONERS  has been his best effort...fine film that.

In a good or bad way? never seen it myself!

It's a fantastic film.

First two were well worth a watch!

Looking forward to its release.

Watched The Monkey last night. Was entertaining but I was a little disapointed for a King/Wan collaboration and had high expectations.  Probaly give it 6.5/10.
