Thought Midway was a bloody great film too.
is it good? i sort of avoided it because i was very Pearl Harbour gunshy
Plus the black and White version was fucking rad.
Very much this... times heaps.
But from some recent posts on here, perhaps I give it a go? If only as background violence while doing some other shit.
It’s obviously a great story but I’m not sure that it’s well told. It is heaps better than Pearl Harbour but I just felt that they were trying to out-dramatise an truly dramatic true story.
I also found some of the effects laughable, almost comic book.
Cheers. Like @mariner4life says - I was VERY gunshy after Pearl Harbour.
But you've sold me on it as something to check out - perhaps while doing something else. Playing Destroyer on a C64 emulator, perhaps. Or Pirates.First part of real beers nerds review, short story, is a bit slow cos it's so real, not many shortcuts or hoo ah! I was similar to you, to was never foolish enough to watch PH (U27 whatever was enough for me) but this made me go back and watch it

Boiling Point
Few on here already reviewed it but thought I'd throw my hat in the ring.
Not sure I'd say its a fantastic movie, but I'd say it's more an incredible piece of work. It's full on from the word go and the acting, especially by Stephen Graham is phenomenal.
Amazing viewing, would recommend to everybody
1 shot out of 1 shot.

Virgin Witch (1972)
Chanced upon this on a vintage TV channel. Has Vicki Michelle from 'Allo 'Allo. Crap plot and no-one here will look for it.
But it has loads of great boobs....

caught this quirky film the other day, well shot, well acted, great cast with loads of cameos, many humourous moments.
Sort of shot in cartoon style, it is a series of short stories centred around a French Magazine editor (Bill Murray). Might not be everyones type of movie and I was a bit unsure but ended up quite enjoying it.would give it four frescoes out of five revolting students

Some people are like an old TV set, they need a slap to get them working.

I’ll keep an eye out for this one. Looks promising.

Original top gun, watched in prep for the new one…shit that’s a fun flick, not going to talk about if it’s good or not…just great fun to watch

Top Gun Maverick: Good fun blockbuster movie, lived up to the hype I've been hearing about it. Only issue I had with it was they didn't really have the time to properly develop the younger characters as the focus was mostly on Maverick. But I reckon they could do a sequel focussing on them. The jet footage is pretty awesome too.
Chip and Dale: Good fun live action-animated movie about Chip and Dale the Rescue Rangers. Was recommended this by at least 3 mates with kids so decided I'd give the first 10 minutes a watch. Up there with The Mitchells vs the Machines and the Lego Movie as an adult friendly kids movie.
Andy Samberg and John Mulaney play Chip and Dale (except the other way round).
Disney basically brought the right to every IP out there and put them in this movie as a joke. Mild spoiler to illustrate, Sonic the Hedgehog is a character, but the one from the trailer that everyone hated - Ugly Sonic.

So you liked the latest version of The Wes Anderson film.

@Nepia maverick probably delivers on the hype more than any other blockbuster in a long time.
Good fun, predictable watch with some genuinely good comedy.
I haven't seen the original since it first came out. It may be because I saw it in Orleans and my French isn't very good but Maverick didn't seem to have the bucket loads of homo-eroticism of the first TG.
Bloody hell the flying sequences were awesome. Definitely need to see it on the biggest screen available.
I thought the young guns cardboard was cut out adequately.

Top Gun Maverick
I started my experience by watching Top Gun. Still a very good film, it was good to recap the story where it all began.
CF Jr had seen TGM and raved about it so I was expecting a lot. And as DM said the movie doesn't disappoint. It uses the original soundtrack, in a Star Wars like manner. Great that they used one of the original film's iconic songs. The story had a bigger mission as its centrepiece, which provided for a great finale. Lots of nods to the old film, plenty of action, and the theatre got a bit dusty ##spoiler
when Mav and Goose's son made up
##endspoilerAn all star cast, Val made an appearance, and Jennifer Connolly looked hawt as usual. 5 beach football touchdowns out of 5 impossible missions

Really ? I haven’t thought she’s looked too decent lately.
Not being the biggest fan of the original I won’t be rushing to the movies to see this.
Back to JC……..here are a couple of pics about 30 years apart……for some reason I preferred her when she was younger…..
