Great stuff. And speaking of Melville: don't miss Un flic while it's on, if you've never seen it. Saw it at the cinema last summer and loved it.

Few ive watched over last few days.
Last night i watched The Warriors, all time classsic 10/10, highly recommended but not the directors cut that came out a while back, isnt as good, as it goes the best version is the one i recorded off TV yearssss ago but the start on the TV version is missing on the DVD

None of these ones i had seen before, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, moving film about the holocaust with an upsetting ending, kind of thing im trying to avoid right now! Thought it was good they demonstrate how young school children were taught to hate the Jews even if it has got a few other historical errors in it.

Hidden Agenda, Ken Loach film about the troubles in Ireland, typial Loach, decent film. Apart from 71 Ive not seen much about Ireland in the 70s/80s on the look out for more films like this

Murder at 1600, enjoyed this one too, Wesley Snipes crime drama about a murder in the Whithouse and a frame up, was decent

The Sentinel, was ok, not one of Michael Douglas best, about an assassination attempt on the President

Enemy of the State, enjoyed this one, Gene Hackman is ace as always in this. Interesting thriller about the secret service spying watching some lawyer kind of thing, worth a watch, prefered it to some of Will Smith later stuff

Bloody Sunday is a good film mate Paul Greengrass directs it. Elephant is supposed to be good. the crying game. the wind that shakes the barley is good but set in war of independence

Thought Sicario was decent. Quite an action-less action film but that seemed to work. Emily Blunt’s character was annoying as Hell and since when did Colombian lawyers get taught how to be top hitmen?

I think the CIA helped him with that after the Cartel beheaded his wife and dropped his daughter into a vat of acid !

Emiiy Blunt was supposed to be annoying ( imo ) to make you empathise with Del Torro.

Do tell.

Well for one young children we're killed right away at the camps, another was Jews are seen being led into gas chambers by other Jews, that didnt happen, SS guards would do that although they might of been forced to take them out afterwards though but you dont see that in the film. Jews beating on other jews happened but not how its shown in the film.
It's also a bit of a plot hole someone was able to get in there, which kind of implies the lad could of got out if he wanted to.
Also the son, at his age he would of been in the Hitler Youth and would of know to some extent what was going on.
On a less serious note at one point there listening to Jazz music, which was band in Germany at the time, Wagner would of been better.

Yeh just seems strange a lawyer would be trained to do all that just because of his motive. Like, they have their own assassins in the CIA haha.

Vivarium

An intriguing, quirky little sci-fi thriller - in the spirit of a Black Mirror/Twilight Zone episode

Just watched this. A strange one, but I liked it.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

I watched the warriors again last night for the umpteenth time and then watched Mississippi burning.

Mississippi burning is a belting film, along with LA confidential one of my fav films.

 

[SuperTimCahill]

Knives Out

Took a little while for me to get into it, but then it got very enjoyable. Think this one will be even better on second viewing. 7/10

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Big Butts 13 - a classic of the genre.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Actually watched Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. Perhaps their best, it is like art come to life. Much better than the modern 3D tripe.

Daughter made me watch Princess & The Frog afterwards. The difference in quality was staggering. Modern Disney is treacle slow and so formulaic, both in terms of story and in terms of art.

An interesting fact is more Soviets than Jews died in the concentration camps. You would certainly not know that if you watched the movies and the general way the concentration camps are portrayed.

Add in the numbers killed both on the civilian side and on the military side and it seems to me the sacrifice the Eastern Europeans made is way understated.
