Still, it can't be as bad as Fedora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet you’re one of the wronguns who doesn’t like Q. Granted, he's a great actor. Did you know he played a character in The Hunt for Red October who was captain of the USS Enterprise? No, I love the Q episodes, they always did something different with them. Probably best saved for the Star Trek thread though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays Martin Lawrence, Luke Wilson plays an idiot, neither of them are very funny although the action's pretty good and Dave Chappelle gets all the laughs that are here.  This scene absolutely creased me. In anyone else's hands/mouths - particularly Martin Lawrence - those lines would have been absolutely poxy, but Chapelle's delivery is astounding.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 24, 2020 To Kill a Mockingbird (nefarious means) Still a wonderful piece of work, doesn't really need any explanation why. If you really must do the 'white saviour' narrative, at least acknowledge its problems, as this story does. Mission of Justice (YouTube) This was fantastic. Jeff Wincott goes undercover at Brigitte Nielsen's weird vigilante justice commune to find out who murdered his best mate. The fight scenes and stunts are absolute quality, Wincott was really underrated, and Karen Sheperd was definitely on a par with Cynthia Rothrock. Loved this.

Paid Members DEF Posted September 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2020 Samurai Assassin (1965) - DVD I love a good Samurai film. Particularly the classics. Toshiro Mifune stars and its directed by Kihachiro Okamoto who would go on to direct my favourite samurai film Sword of Doom a year later. It's not quite on the level of Sword of Doom but it's still well worth a watch. Slightly less choppy choppy than I'd like but enough to keep me satisfied and cinematography is ace.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Wiseau Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I watched Crank: High Voltage last night. I remember seeing it at the cinema and getting annoyed about 3/4 of the way through because it just got "too silly" My girlfriend (or wife, I've no idea when this film came out or when we got married. it's the same person regardless of timeframe) laughed at that at the time because "it's a sequel to Crank, what did you expect?" Last night i decided to give it another go and for the first three quarters of it really enjoyed it, but then, once again, it just got too silly. i'm all for suspension of disbelief , inventive deaths and corny one liners but it just gets too daft towards the end. The head suspended in some kind of liquid like an episode of Doctor Who or a 1960's horror film? it's a no from me. Still, any news on a third one?

Keith Houchen Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Enola Holmes was a whole lot of fun. Even Bonham Carter didn’t ruin it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 25, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2020 King & Country (nefarious means) 1960s drama about a British soldier during WWI who goes AWOL and faces a trial and firing squad as a result. Really rather similar to Paths of Glory (which is a masterpiece) but a strong film in its own right, with Tom Courtenay on his usual great form. The Hunted (nefarious means) Christopher Lambert tries to do The Yakuza and predictably it's not as good. I don't really like Lambert for the most part (Fortress excepted, of course) but he's actually kept to the sidelines for the most part. Some good combat scenes and a mental scene on a bullet train, even if it is too long and there's not enough Joan Chen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) The Bourne Identity Still such a fantastic action film, and Matt Damon is perfect as Jason Bourne. The mini chase is thrilling, the cast is a cracker but Chris Cooper is massively underused though. I can't remember which ones I've seen, so I'm going to go through them all. I haven't seen the Renner ones and to be honest, I'm not looking forward to them. Pets United Don't usually mind watching any old shit with the kids, but this is one of the worst animated films I have ever watched. Absolutely fucking rotten. Goon Just so much fun. "Gay porn hard!" Goon: Last Of The Enforcers Not as fun, but still excellent and made me laugh out loud on several occasions. Seann William Scott is the best. Rocks Made me cry multiple times, and the best film I've seen this year. Watch it if you get the chance. Edit: Rocks will be on Netflix this week:  Edited September 28, 2020 by SuperBacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Looper (Netflix) Great start ran out of steam halfway though, shit ending reminded me of Jumper, alot  Painted Faces (Netflix) Sammo Hung starring film about the Peking Opera School he and 'bignose' attended. Wonderful, how to be a bastard with a heart. Really Enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
