These two, Deep Blue Sea and Jaws 1 and 2 are the only good shark films. "Jaws 4: The Revenge" isn't great, but it has a hilarious Michael Caine acting in it. "The Time..It's Personal!!". Great tag-line. Edited February 2, 2022 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 4, 2022 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2022 Watched Lilies of the Field on iPlayer tonight. It’s the film Sidney Poitier won his Oscar for and I can see why. The film itself is a gentle, heartwarming sort of affair about a handyman helping out a group of nuns from East Germany, but Poitier is brilliant in it. Just exudes charisma in every scene. In The Heat Of The Night is a better movie and is also on iPlayer, but if you want a more easygoing Poitier I’d recommend this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 The Souvenir: Part II (cinema) (I also rewatched the first one today ahead of seeing this - even better on a rewatch.) But this picks up where the first one left off, runs with the expected themes in far more intelligent and complex ways than most films or sequels would. It's absolutely not going to be for a lot of people this film (and the original, obvs) but I thought this was brilliant, deep storytelling and character work. What an amazing career Honor Swinton Byrne should end up having. The Silencers (Great! Movies) The first one of those Dean Martin Matt Helm films, which are just the same lazy Bond rip-offs that they were doing badly in Europe in the late 60s. It's absolutely terrible - not even slightly funny, practically no action, just utterly worthless. Titanic If this had just been the second half, when it starts sinking, this would have been a cracking disaster film. But no. Cameron just had to tack an hour and a half of utter shite on the front. God. Stay Tuned (ok.ru) Peter Hyams was a weird choice to direct this weird family sci-fi comedy but as ever he produced the goods and it's a load of fun. Made about 6 years too late though, which is probably why it tanked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 Stay Tuned was the first film I saw at the cinema. I fucking loved it at the time, but I've never watched it as an adult in case it's shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ghostbusters Afterlife (Amazon rental)Â Not as great as some are making it out to be imo and obviously not on the same level as the original but still a pretty fun 2 hours.

I agree, it’s not on the same level as the first. it’s at a higher level. Ghostbusters is way over hyped and has not aged well. It’s not as funny as you remember, the story plods. The effects are still good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it’s not the right one to you doesn’t mean it’s a wind up. I grew up with Ghostbusters but it’s a rose tinted glasses film that people are too precious about. Plenty of better 80’s films. But you seem to have a weird fascination with me, so I think I’ll just put you on mute now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 5, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2022 I haven't seen Ghostbusters Afterlife but I can confidently day it's the best thing on streaming that's been made recently with afterlife in the title.

Paid Members waters44 Posted February 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2022 Jackass Forever Please get as many mates together as possible and go see it. Absolutely hilarious from start to end and oddly touching in places, especially if Jackass has been part of your life growing up Spoiler A tucked in Chris Pontius wearing an open nightie whilst slowly dancing in the background of the pitch black rattlesnake room is pure cinema  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Yeah JACKASS FOREVER is superb fun. Johnny Knoxville is still fucking charismatic as hell. Someone really needs to work out what to do with him other than the Jackass movies as there's a star there just waiting to burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) The King's Man - Probably one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. Absolute guttershite, but it was marginally better than - and I really, truly should have heeded D-Mals' warning on this - The Requin. The state of the pair of them. Jackass Forever was just glorious though. There was about 6 of my mates in there, and I genuinely felt like I was 20 and free again for a brief but wonderfully beautiful 90 minutes. Absolutely, 100%, easily the best incarnation of Jackass I've seen throughout my 20 odd year obsession with them and the CKY mob. Edited February 9, 2022 by Scott Malbranque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted February 10, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 Is there a better sight than a sunglass wearing Johnny Knoxville with his head back laughing? Jackass Forever is 90 minutes of laughter and nostalgia and was an absolute treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
