Yeah I mean, they’re entertaining, despite being UTTER bullshit and Cage being Cage……

I love these things on FB……
The makers of Face/Off really did make sure we left our brains at the door and this guy actually misses a few movie sins….
I think it was as long as it was cos half of it was in fucken slow motion ( seriously John Woo, so gratuitous and wanky ), the whole premise is just SUCH absolute bullshit, Cage hams it up in his usual annoying way, Travolta is pretty annoying too ( as he is often is in movies that aren’t Pulp Fiction or SNF )
How many times do they shoot at each other and miss ?
Does the movie not notice that they have completely different head shapes ?
…..yet it’s still a guilty pleasure that’s genuinely fun to watch every few years.
Absurd movie but highly entertaining. What I found completely effed up was how many innocent people were massacred in the crossfire while John Travolta's character was trying to get his life back.

Yeah the kill count was ridiculous.
But how about Cage waking up ( completely unguarded as the vid states ), calling his goons ( in shock and without lips ) to persuade them to kidnap the doctor AND the only FBI agents who knew about this top secret absurd plan ? How the hell would they know where they were or indeed WHO they were ?
How the fuck did the actors keep straight faces ( pun possibly intended ) during this ?
Not to mention Cage is pretty trim and muscly, Travolta is pretty pudgy, the height difference…..cutting the hair WHILE THE FACE WAS EXPOSED ?!?!?! Seriously, I get hair stuck in my ears for a good day or two after a trip to the barbers, no way that wouldn’t infect an open face……..
I guess if the wife hadn’t had any for awhile her not noticing the difference in cock size might be excused.

Next classic film (if you consider the 1970s as "classic) is the Sting with Woodford and Newman. A very neat little film. With a guest performance from Pete Thornton, not to mention Quint...apparently adjusted for inflation it's the 20th highest grossing film of all time.

Such a great film

The Boys in the Boat
Story of the US rowing Eight at the Berlin Olympics directed by George Clooney. Think Chariots of Fire but without the acting, music, human tragedy and inspirtion but with added Disney-like schmaltz.
Utter shite. 1 Rowing Boat out of 5 Cunard Liners

@Victor-Meldrew Now that's a review I can get on board with

Jaysus, that would be my rating for Chariots of Fire, an utterly shit movie that Brits seem to love for patriotic reasons I assume?

The Brits hate patriotic shit and prefer stuff which take the piss out of patriotism - which is why Dad's Army is so bloody popular. It's one of their great redeeming features.
Chariots of Fire was a film about personal achievement, personal values and the struggle between the two things. The Olympics themselves were almost a side-show. Killer film score too.

Cool cool, I didn't mean to call you patriotic.
Still, the worst Oscar best picture winner I've ever seen along with Crash.

I'm so patriotic I support any AB team - regardless of who's the Head Coach.....

You're half right - Crash was also utter shite

Speaking of Oscar movies after the abortion that was Maestro I was worried all the remaining Best Picture nominees would be equally as crap, but thankfully Anatomy of a Fall was good.
French film, German main actor, nearly half the dialogue in English, interesting look at the French court system.
Next up is the holocaust movie Zone of Interest, so that should be a fun watch.

went and saw Argylle on the weekend...stupid switch brain off fun in the mold (althought not as good as) Kingsman
impressive if ridiculous action scenes and send ups of spy movie troupe's
