I suppose it's difficult comparing eras, silent, to talkies to colour. Maybe a 20 or 25 year hop skip n jump?

I think it says something about the language of cinema becoming established. Films from the 70s still feel somehow contemporary, films from the 20s often feel like they're from an entirely different dimension.

Exactly my type of film then

It's terrific, but not a Sunday night flick for me!

Yeah the 70`s is considered a golden age for cinema which is why I think a lot of them have stood the test of time and feel contemporary.

Yes, i think you're right, 70s marked that full switch between movies predominantly still being a bit stagey and melodramatic into a pervading realism in acting, dialogue, direction, effects - even in fantasy and sci fi. Star Wars, Close Encounters and Alien are a massive shift from the sci fi of the 50s and 60s.

Ambulance - Bank robbers hijack an ambulance with a dying cop in the back.

Rather enjoyable and a solid amount of practical effects rather than CGI everywhere.

Another cracker. Might watch that later, nice one for reminding me. Wanna bum?

‘Once Upon a Time in The West’ for me.



Inspired me to learn how to play the harmonica and I’d have loved to have spaffed all over Claudia Cardinale’s boobs back in the day. Still would tbf

mission impossible 2 is just ending and I'm reminded of how embarrassingly bad this 2 hour snooze fest is. So I had a little search for some reviews, and I got more entertained and had laughs in 5 minutes than during watching this complete rotter.

Interesting fact and reason to be grateful for this turd. The prolonged shoot running over schedule meant Dougray Scott had to pass up on his next project in 1999.
He was supposed to be Wolverine in X Men.

That'd have been agonising. His pension manager must curse Woo daily.

He's not a bad actor but cannot picture him as Wolverine. Doesn't strike me as the action movie type. The fight with Tom Cruise just doesn't work.

Then again, can't see anyone other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Rome, Open City

Very good, didn't really feel like a film from 1945 when you got into it

Maybe wolverine had been a librarian for a few years to let the heat die down.

Ferrari was a decent watch.

Luther: Fallen Sun


Ludicrous. Shame really as it opens quite well but starts stretching credibility early on then goes completely off the rails. My girlfriend came up with a better plot while the credits were still rolling.

Big George Foreman. Plenty of gaps if you are not familiar with boxing but a decent watch.

Liston, a story.

Way more interesting. And sad.
