What is that accent meant to be.

Told you haha. He can’t do any accent well at all.

Have you heard him speak in real life? His own accent is so weird. A mix of Geordie, general English and American. I'm hardly surprised he can't handle faking one. Green Street was the absolute pinnacle

Aye he’s from the NE isn’t he. Not sure how he keeps getting roles as his accents are shocking. When I first heard him attempt American in Pacific Rim I wanted to die.

Going through the bourne films.

Just finished the first one and was very impressed.

I’m not an action guy but was told I’d still like this trilogy and it’s got off to a good start with me.

The original trilogy are excellent. Far more intelligent than any Bond film. I'd say Supremacy the best of the 3.

Not watched the Bourne Legacy (the Jeremy Renner spin off) since release but I don't remember it being much cop.

Jason Bourne (the latest Damon one) was OK at best. Too much "big action" for me.

Yes but it was a crap mini-series.

Don't fear the reaper as the opening soundtrack, downhill from there.

I prefer No Country For Old Men as a film.

McCarthy books are a really hard slog to read. Film is outstanding, and pretty much true to the book without the hassle of turning pages.

The Shining.
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest.
Papillon,
Deliverance.
Marathon Man.
Let the right One in. ( Original film )
Midnight Express.

Another one to add to the list is 'Day of the Jackal'.

Watched Arrival...an intelligent sci-fi film (released 2016). Starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forrest Whittaker. Recommended.

Absolutely destroyed me that film

In Search of Darkness

A documentary all about the classic horror films of the 80s - A wonderful way to spend 4 hours

 

[Philw]

Ashamed to admit it but when I took the kids to see Paddington I thought it was absolutely hilarious

I've heard its really good.

Don't be ashamed, both this and the sequel are great!

 

[degsy]

Yes but it was a crap mini-series.

Agree,the book is brilliant though

Thing is with his books (any book for that matter) a lot of the action or discription is best seen in your head.
Films and tv chew up chapters like billyo...a picture is worth a thousand words...but at the the same time they miss out so much.

Strange how his two best films are set in prison

Exactly Degs,with books YOU portray how the characters sound/look,how the landscape is laid out,so when it comes to the film,though it might be decent it feels not quite right because it doesnt match your vision

I would say two of his best not his best two.

And then there just plain old total abortions like The Dark Tower
And if they can cast that refugee from the morton frazer harmonica gang tom cruise as 6ft 5in bald jack reacher...

Think the Dark Tower broke me,after reading the Talisman which was also great,I was looking forward to it,I watched it until the end but only out of disgust at what it had become

When you think of all the money, time and effort somebody spunked on Witcher, instead of doing the dark tower properly

Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but I think this is the best King film adaptation. Very sad film.
