Movie review thread...

@antipodean aside from the quality (or lack thereof) of recent films I wouldn't be surprised if his acting like a fluffybunny in pretty much all his promo interviews etc has caught up to him. It does have a bit of charm from time to time, but he must be a real fun guy to work with. Not!!
Harrison Ford conveys the same kind of feel, but you get sense he's hamming it up just a wee bit.

@jegga snap!!

@antipodean quantity over quality bro...5 crap films at $2,000,000 a pop is better than 1 average one at $5,000,000!

Works for Bruce Willis
Speaking of, hasn't his career taken a nose dive?
Nothing to do with the haircut...

Schindlers list has had a bit of press lately for its 25th anniversay, i might go and see it on the big screen again.
If anyone can watch this scene without feeling like they're chopping onions then they're a tougher bloke than I am. How Neeson didn't win an Oscar ( excuse the pun ) for this is anyone's guess.
Someone also made a comparison on FB between his comments of many years ago to the young Isis bitch and how everyone is hauling him over the coals yet they're extending her every courtesy.
He'll always be a dead set leg end for this movie alone in my eyes despite some recent crap he's been in.

King Arthur: Legend of the sword
Or maybe it should be called Arfa da geezer, wiv is shank O doom, add it's basically "Guy Ritchie fucks around with British Myth".
It wasn't bad overall. Lot of cool cinematography and the staples Ritchie is know for, but the face Charlotte Hunnam can't do a decent British "street" accent to keep up with the other actors was kind of irritating. No fucking idea why they're was one black dude in the whole thing, either.

your review is so close to mine it's not funny. Decent entertaining watch, but the whole Geezers of the Round Table thing was so fucking over done.

I reckon Fiennes was better as Goethe.

Rewatched John Wick 1 & 2 recently.
Fuck they are a lot of fun, it’s like back in the day when you had that mate that used to kill it when playing Counter Strike online or a local LAN. Ridiculous ease at popping off guys especially with head shots.
Hopefully chapter 3 which is due out this year carries on the same way.
Combined 4 kills with a pencil out of 5 Russians stupid enough to steal his car and kill his puppy. -

That was a brilliant film, Spielberg's decision to film it in B&W was a masterstroke. I remember being totally tense the whole way through, powerful cinema

One of the best films ever made. Hands down.

These days John Travolta looks creepy as hell. Like he's wearing a John Travolta mask. Like those bank robber guys might do.
He's actually bald these days, here he is with Simon Mannering's doppelganger
How old is that pic. Saw a (very good) doco about the making of SNF. They interviewed JT, who appeared to be wearing a long grey wig.
I don't know. But he was out on the red carpet recently with his daughter sporting a chrome dome. He still prefers to wig up though
No way, that's Travolta? It looks like Billy Baldwin or something.

Richies first two flicks are absolute bona fide classics, Rock n Rolla and Sherlock Holmes are pretty good fun too but I don't think big budget blockbusters are his thing.

American Assassin
That was a lot of fun. Plenty of boomstick and espionage headfuck. Not incredibly deep or original, but there were layers to it I found interesting. Keaton is a great psycho, and the young guy playing Rapp was pretty capable.
Killed off the best pair of norks in the first scene which was disappointing. Gains points for introducing boobs later.
4 shattered elbows out of 5 capsized guided missile frigates.

I’m totally on my own here, but I would have loved colour. Black and White made it feel old for me, and not as good
Neeson recent comments were dumb and naive. Reality is he didn’t do anything and regrets his thoughts. A great big nothing for me.

It was wrong to reject the coach but you can’t blame the player for showing his emotion there.
Plays 120 mins then manager tries to sub him for the shoot out. Crude analogy but the only thing that is similar is to be in a porn film then subbed out for the money shot.
