Swiss. 6:35 Sun Jul 14 It pleases me highly that you thought it was crap... it's almost like giving any film a huge thumbs up when you say its crap... I'll go along with my own verdict and all the 5/5 and 4/5's that the movie pundits are giving it... once again... thanks

"manuel, that filming style was deliberate from scorcese. he is a big hitchcock fan, and it was a homage to him (even employing hitchcock collaborator, saul bass, to design the opening credits)"

"Watched Cape Fear again, quite enjoyed it but dated now, almost like a tv movie feel about it."

"watched Drive (2011) again recently, even better the second time round. perfect copy still posted on youtube"

Have to agree with Swiss about Tom Hardy. Hammiest actor out there.

Watched Beverly Hills Cop Axel F last night. Enjoyable enough throw back to the days of buddy cop fun.

As for Hardy and Comer’s accents I thought I was listening to Popeye and Olive.

Sold The Bikeriders is fucking terrible. It’s like Greese without the music. Another OTT performance by Tom Hardy

"The Bikeriders.... fucking superb.... Comer, Butler and Hardy magnificent... https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/oct/05/the-bikeriders-review-jodie-comer-tom-hardy"

Who‚Äôs a silly cսnt then? This isn‚Äôt the TV boxes thread is it! LOL

Sydney isn't the sharpest tool..

Thought this was the movie thread

"3 episodes into the The Responder. stars Martin Freeman who also produces it, quite dark and gritty. a Liverpool cop with mental health issues, starts slow but worth a watch, won an Emmy i believe and Freeman is very good in this. finished season 2 of Blue lights, which i have to say was superb, also from the BBC, they may have gone a bit woke but still seem able to make some very good TV drama which these 2 are."

Just watched Back to Black. I was on the verge of tears several times. So tragic. Great performances all around. 8/10

"Short - Yep I'd go along with that review, was good to see the old faces again, not to mention the soundtrack. The original BHC in the 80's was huge IIRC."

zico 2:53 Sat Jun 15 I’ve just watched the trailer for this and already I’ve got a tear in me eye…..all because Caine’s accent slightly reminded me of my late grandad’s accent in his older years…I love hearing that accent and it’s nearly all but gone…..fucking gutted…..but would it have gone sooner had we lost that war…..

Axel F. Comfort food. But in a good way. It certainly ain't reinventing the wheel. Leave your brain at the door. And enjoy it for what it is.

"she made a couple of great films with george segal, great chemistry between the two and really likable characters. something modern directors don't seem to think is important. It's a big reason why so much modern shit is unwatchable"

"Cough, ha ha...... Caine doesn't get the credit he deserves, he is a top actor and I have rarely seen him in a bad film. That was Glenda Jackson's last film before she sadly passed away a short time later. A bit of trivia - ""Glenda Jackson revealed that she was approached by the director Melvin Frank for the film A Touch of Class after appearing on The Morecambe & Wise Show in 1971, in the ""Antony and Cleopatra"" sketch. After her role in this film won her an Oscar, Eric Morecambe sent her a telegram reading, ""Stick with us and we will get you another one""."

"Yea it's a really good watchable film, one of them that you know you will like before you even start watching it. Fwiw, I thought Glenda Jackson stole the show with her performance, was incredible."

Was that the one with Steve McQueen on a motorbike?

Zico (spell check!)

"Zircon. Agreed, had to watch it last week for obvious reasons. Michael Caine’s performance was outstanding but especially so in the non speaking shots when he was remembering the events of D day. You could just see the pain in his eyes. Terrific."
