Been on a retro cinema kick lately and over the last few weekday evenings caught the following on Amazon Prime for the first time in yeeeaars:

Chinatown - Solid Polanski private eye thriller. Nicholson in his sneering snide prime. Great visuals and a haunting ending.

Soylent Green - Dystopian 70's sci-fi featuring Chuck Heston. Hopelessly dated costumes , but some clever ideas and a GENIUS opening montage of how society breaks down due to over-population and pollution

Fort-Apache: The Bronx - Boss grimy NYC corrupt cop thriller. Back when the city was proper moody ('81) and with a nasty edge to it. Paul Newman stars. Also Pam Grier as a smack-addled serial killer prostitute. The riot scene is great. "LET THE BROTHERS GO!"


New Jack City - OTT early 90's crime caper that is still very entertaining. Wesley Snipes and Ice T are bad-ass. Some hopeless racial stereotypes (get onto the Eye-talians) A super-cool soundtrack. H-U-S-T-L-E-R.

Both terminators are crap tbh

Sorry, I don`t think I can ever forgive you for this.

Cargo

An interesting, alternative look at the zombie genre - Tense, bleak and melancholic at the same time

Excellent performance by Martin Freeman too

An "excellent performance by Martin Freeman "

Everyone of them is a cracker in it`s own right, especially Soylent Green

Not a film but couldn’t find the documentary thread. Anyways, am watching “evil genius”. A true crime story on Netflix. It is utterly fascinating and diabolical. Can’t really describe it but starts out with the “collar bomber” and a genius woman.

Read your post yesterday and just watched all four episodes. Interesting watch. Didn't know anything about it beforehand. Certainly gripped by the first two episodes but tailed off at the end I felt.

 

[The binman chronicles]

I honestly don't know how it could even be a question. There's a chasm of quality between the two. T2 is fantastic but it's not even close to the level of brilliance that is T1. If you introduced the films to sombody who'd never seen them before without any preconceived ideas it's a safe bet they'll pick T1 as the better film because it 100% is.

I wouldn't stretch as far as what you have gone to but on the whole I think The Terminator will stand the test of time better. T2 took it to another level spectacle wise but as a pure story with extra menace T1 is better.

Made even more poignant, by the fact that Brad Davis, the lead, died at the age of 41, due to Heroin addiction / aids.

agreed...T2 lost me when Arnie was ordered by John Connor to stop killing people and to just shoot them in the leg...lost all his menace

Seen Deadpool 2 today, best movie I've seen this year.

 

[Debaser]

Deadpool 2.

Weird. First 45 minutes was dreadfull. Not a single laugh, and the story was going absolutely nowhere. I nearly walked out.

The final hour - fantastic. Loved it and lived up to the first film.

The turning point was the formation of the X-Force/scene in the plane.

Spot on.

Saw it last night, it was like two films stuck together.

First half, dull and boring, second half was hilarious.

The bit where he`s on the sofa with his babies legs lollollollol
