Reese Witherspoon is an instant 'do not watch this film' for me. I'm not a fan either. I thought Election was crap and I slept through Legally Blonde. The only time I've really liked her was in Mud and probably because she only gets a comparatively small role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Chest Rockwell said: Yeah, I'm not saying she's a bad actor. Just that she seems to act exclusively in things that I know I will hate. The only reason I've seen any of her films tbh is because of my sisters. I’m not signing up to her fan club or anything, but she is so good in Legally Blonde. It’s not easy playing a part like that and doing it well and convincingly. I was really impressed. Sign me up for another one who thought Election is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Yeah, Election was ace, Devon clearly drinks Merlot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Infernal Affairs Fucking HELL!!! Why I didn’t watch this years ago, I don’t know. Absolutely loved it. Gonna watch the other two tomorrow night. Been a while since I’ve seen The Departed so probably watch that at some point over the next few days as well. Shaft (2019) Really badly written but quite fun and Jackson’s always watchable. Any film with Method Man automatically gets 5 stars. Also the third film I’ve watched in as many months to feature 93 Til Infinity. Have film makers just discovered it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep81 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 "Alexander Saxton (Christopher Lee), a brilliant British anthropologist researching in the Russian Far East, boards the Trans-Siberian Express with his latest discovery, a frozen specimen he hopes to prove is the missing link. But en route to Europe, passengers begin to turn up dead, and terror engulfs the train as Saxton and his partner, Dr. Wells (Peter Cushing), struggle to contain a mysterious -- and increasingly murderous -- force with the power to control minds." Never seen this before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Got a 'Thing' vibe to it with the 'Alien creature' acting as a host and being transposed into it's victims. Real nice charm to the movie with the actors involved and some witty humor too. It's a fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 30, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yeah, love a bit of Horror Express. I read once that Telly Savalas wasn't supposed to be in it but he was in the area shooting a paella western so they thought they'd write him into it if he agreed.

It's funny, when I was watching it I forgot he was advertised to be in it and he just sort of shows up out of nowhere lol. Like "Oh, it's Telly Savalas"!!

Paid Members Chris B Posted June 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2019 It was filmed a little after Cushing's wife passed -he was distraught, and Lee convinced him to do it so he'd be able to work with his friend for a while. Cushing is delightful in it too. "We're british, you know!" If anyone hasn't seen it, it's in the public domain, so you can check it out on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 so hang on, there's another Shaft film? That's a squeal to the reboot Shaft, but the squeal is also called Shaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 They're all sequels to the original Shaft, rather than reboots. Â Richard Roundtree's Shaft is Uncle to Jackson's Shaft (despite only being a few years older IRL), and this latest film introduces Jackson Shaft's son as a third Shaft, if you will.

Got to admit, I liked the trailer a lot, so going to check this out later. Â Edit - I hadn't seen posts on the new page and thought I was responding to the latest post. Roundtree is in the trailer, btw. Edited June 30, 2019 by Chris B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
