Jas Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Blood & Bone - Watched this on (US) Netflix on Friday night. Mrs Mike was out, I had chicken, beer & weed and wanted something to compliment my low-brow evening. This was perfect! It was rated 4.5 stars by Netflix users (I know
The Natural Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Hope Dredd makes the money to get a sequel. Dredd comes out in the USA this Friday. I'm interested to see how they regard it. EDIT: Forgot to mention the score of the film. I liked that as well. Edited September 17, 2012 by The Natural
Loki Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Dredd was one of those cool films where all the audience react at the same moments. There's one point near the end where <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler she's falling from the top of the block in super-slo-mo and you get an angle from directly underneath, and all the audience realised at the same time that you were about to see her face impact at full speed with the concrete floor, from the perspective of the floor, and everyone went "oooh" in anticipation. [close spoiler] ");document.close(); Also, a middle-aged couple left about 1/3 of the way in, and as they went out the door there was a round of sniggers from the rest of the audience, who all instinctively knew the missus had thrown her toys out of the pram about the violence and demanded to leave.

The other was Dredd punching the corrupt judge right in the throat. Film must have a record for deaths from high places. There are five of them. [close spoiler] ");document.close(); I thought Dredd looked good but I'm surprised at the acclaim it's getting by most. Dredd is 90% on Rotten Toamtoes, after 30 reviews it was on 100%.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 17, 2012 Paid Members Posted September 17, 2012 Just watched Sunset Boulevard for the first time. Possibly the greatest film I've ever seen. Billy Wilder was a genius, and I mean that in the proper way and not in the overused way it's chucked around by idiots these days. Just incredible.
Polish Dad Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Richie, have you watched Kamen Rider Wizard? If not, I reckon you'd fucking love it. I
KingOfMetal Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Anyone who wants to contrast Dredd with Stallones Judge Dredd, its on Channel 5 this week
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 18, 2012 Paid Members Posted September 18, 2012 Why would anyone need to compare and contrast? The original had Stallone in it and is therefore better. Plus he took his helmet off and hilariously trolled lots of fanboys.
Richie Freebird Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Just watched this pile of mentalist crap: Gamera vs Zigra (1971). I Edited September 19, 2012 by Richie Freebird
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 18, 2012 Moderators Posted September 18, 2012 Why would anyone need to compare and contrast? The original had Stallone in it and is therefore better. Plus he took his helmet off and hilariously trolled lots of fanboys. It also had Rob Schneider in it; a mark of quality if ever there was one, I'm sure you'd agree.

Richie Freebird Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Karate Bear Fighter (1977). This was a brilliant Japanese martial arts action film starring the legendary Sonny Chiba as top badass. In it, he has to fight a deathmatch against a bear. I don
Loki Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Richie, can you just watch some normal films, or start a "Obscure and Probably Utter Shit Jap Monster Movie" thread? Seriously. Nobody should invest as much of their time into this sort of film as you do.
