This was on Film4 the other night - the Gamber.

I’ve never seen the original, but despite the best efforts of Mark Wahlberg it all felt a bit flat.

Wahlberg plays an lecturer with an insane taste for high stakes gambling, which eventually leads him into big trouble with assorted gangsters.

Despite a great performance from Wahlberg and a great supporting cast, it’s quite forgettable.

Proper crap that film.

I wouldn’t say crap, more a bit dull.

If a gambling thriller movie is dull it’s crap.

Late post from yesterday, but....

Saw Raiders of the Lost Ark was on BBC1 and thought “nah, have seen it 20+ times, won’t bother.”

2 minutes in, and was completely gripped, watched to the end. Incredibly well made movie. Just brilliant.

But noticed a really weird line I’d never really caught before. When Indy meets Marion in the bar, and it’s implied they’ve had a relationship. She says “I was a child, it was wrong and you knew it”. And he says something like “you knew what you were doing”.

Really strange implication to include about the hero in your movie.

I am a huge fan of them all.
What I have noticed is the John Williams music.
He's had the same bit in Indy, Star wars and Jaws.
Same tune.. it's amazing once you twig it.

The original is 70's/early 80's and has James Caan in it if I remember off the top of my head?, that's a decent movie, but Wahlberg aint no James Caan.

You know what films are crap but good: RED and RED 2.

The Thing From Another World, now watching Earth vs The Flying Saucers, I'm rooting for the flying saucers.

Southland Tales

What a beautiful mess, i think I really liked it. It's a pis take on a pis take on a pis take.

Have honestly considered rewatching. Remember the bafflement upon first time of watching. Which is weird, a post apocalyptic sci fi with the Rock and Timberlake should have been an odds on winner with me

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

Well made and acted etc but found it a bit dull.

Do you remember Timberlake miming/doing a dance routine to The Killers 'All the Things I Have Done'?

2006 or something, when he was at his peak and he did that. Incredible.

The problem with a rewatch is that it's about 2hr30 long lol

Eff it, haven't much better to do. Will give it another go. And yes, I remember that scene well.

I like Dune, no movie should be insurmountable for me
