SuperBacon Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 EDtv This was really good, with some excellent Woody Harrelson acting, and I always enjoy McConaughey and Ellen Degeneres in most things. Bit too long by half an hour, and it probably got overshadowed by The Truman Show, and quite rightfully so. Still generally quite good fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewster McCloud Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Oh, you guys... Back to the Future is still generally quite good fun, but can you believe Christopher Lloyd was only 47 at the time? Quite remarkable, he could easily pass for 70.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted February 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2019 Anyone seen Eighth Grade? Some cracking acting and interesting insight into how teenage anxiety has been affected by social media. Was not what I was expecting and can’t believe there was no Oscar buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found out it's due for release here in April. 8 Months after the states. It's like John Wick all over again! Anyway, it's out now in the states, so I recommend seeking it out.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 27, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2019 Cold Pursuit was really good. I slightly prefer the original, In Order of Disappearance (think it might be on Netflix) but I liked the way it kept the same offbeat humour and didn't just settle for being another Liam Neeson actioner.

zep81 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 "When a group of students led by a psychopath (Timothy Van Patten) terrorizes an inner-city high school, the new music teacher (Perry King) decides on violence as the final measure of discipline" This was excellent, a real cult classic. Perry King is great in the role as the main teacher who the gang targets and terrorizes and when they target his wife, it leads to the inevitable bloody revenge. Roddy McDowell is also great as the other teacher wrapped up in this and there's a powerful scene where the gang stage a horrific scene in his classroom involving his animals. Van Patten is so well casted as the sadistic and narcissistic leader of the gang. That piano scene perfectly sums him up and is a wonderful and quite powerful scene. A gem of a movie.

I thought it was wonderfully done, it's not often a teen drama feels so real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
