Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 24, 2020 Just watching The Death Of Stalin. Great cast. Pretty damned funny as well. Quote
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 24, 2020 Death of Stalin is hilarious (until the end). The accents slay me. Bonus points for giving Palin something to do, but it's Jason Isaacs who steals the show for me. If you've not seen it it's on iplayer now. Treat yourself. Quote
lanky316 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 I can't imagine Zhukov as anything but a no nonsense Northerner anymore after that performance, a great film but Isaacs is a real stand out performer in a whole collection of great ones. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 What If. A shit romcom with Harry Potter but made bearable by Adam Driver. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 24, 2020 I was wondering when Jason Isaacs would turn up just as he turned up. He really does steal the show. Quote

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted December 25, 2020 Author Awards Moderator Posted December 25, 2020 When Harry Met Sally It’s not a rom-com. It’s an absolutely gorgeous film about cynicism, nihilism, hope, friendship, denial and, yes, love. Billy Crystal is unbelievable in it, but Bruno Kirby steals the show. It’s the best. Very much recommend it if you’re cripplingly lonely and want to torture yourself. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 26, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 26, 2020 American Pie (pirate) It's pretty shit and not very funny. More Seann William Scott might have saved it. Minus more points for having lacrosse in it. City Slickers (Netflix) TIL that Jake Gyllenhaal is one of Billy Crystal's kids in this. Otherwise mediocre aside from Helen Slater on a horse. Quote

I remember them being all over the video shop as a kid but never saw either until the first cropped up on Netflix. Quote

I saw number 2 on Sony Movies or one of those similar free channels after watching the first one recently. Can confirm it's not very good. Assume they repeat fairly often on those channels so you might get "lucky". Quote
Mr_Danger Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Little Women (2019). I can’t tell you what it is that makes this kind of guff entertaining and what it is that makes it as dull and predictable as all the rest but this was one of the best period dramas I’ve sat all the way through. Given that her previous film was a coming of age teen drama that I really liked too its fair to say Greta Gerwig has a very promising career as a director of films I shouldn’t relate to but do. Florence Pugh was my stand out in the lesser showy role but they’re all very good and Chalamet can do no wrong can he? I have four daughters and terrible anxiety about absolutely anything bad happening to them so I definitely didn’t cry at the end, especially when it shows you them all together as small children play acting.

Members SuperBacon Posted December 28, 2020 Members Posted December 28, 2020 I've watched so many films in the last week it would be unkind for me to subject you all to my awful ramblings, but I did watch Air Force One for the first time ever which was absolutely fantastic and hilarious. The bit where some of the *spoiler I'm afraid* hostages jump out of the plane had me howling, as one of the women just smiles sweetly as she descends, as if she's skydiving for charity rather than fleeing terrorists after being traumatised for hours. Just brilliant. Also, discovered where a sample for a hip hop song came from (Pharoahe Monch-Mayor if anyone cares) and that always pops me big time. Quote
