Joolz Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 The Quiet One a 6k budget and shot in Birmingham in 12 days, sound is a bit up and down but still a solid 7/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simple Jack Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 In The Land Of Saints And Sinners 1974. An IRA cell retreats to rural Donegal after a car bombing in Belfast. Liam Neeson deals with the situation with trademark grim determination. Nothing special, but a solid supporting cast and scenery. Low 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chal Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Last film I stopped to watch was on the night of my birthday, last Sunday. Wanted it to be a good'n. So, I went to my Special Reserve of a dozen I keep on the shelf. Few caught my eye. But, it really just had to be ..... The Kingdom (2007) Fuck, Yeah!!! It simply Never lets one down! Brilliant film! Anyone else seen it? (No Spoilers, please!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The Night Porter (1974) - Some weird and controversial movies came out of Italy in the 70s and this one is right up there. An abusive sadomasochistic relationship between an SS officer and a Jewish pow in a Nazi concentration camp picks up exactly where it left off when the couple randomly bump into each other 15 years after the war. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.o.i.n.t Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 'Self Reliance' (2023) Bloke played by the actor who's name I forget has boring life. Is invited to participate in 'dark web gameshow'. Things happen. Think it's a metaphor for pandemic lockdown, in a way, ish - the need for connection?......and, it's watch-able. Quite good, s'pose, but not life changing. 7.5/10.

FlowerPowerMario Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Finch (2021) A bitter sweet, saddening yet beautiful look into the human and animal spirit, and the need to overcome ones own self even through the adversity and strife of the unknown TL;DR - Its Castaway through the eyes of the ball 8/10 - The dog doesnt die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chal Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Edge Of Darkness (2010 edition) Having watched the original, 1985, series ~ which I now have on DVD, and it Still works! I'd suggest ye either find That, kick back and enjoy over five hours of what bbc used to do so well. Or, if ye just feel like looking at Mel Gibson in just another, completely unremarkable and unmemorable, 'American' ..... No. I'm sorry. I've lost any will to go on. Up to you. Original's fucking good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good movie. That’s the only bit that let it down the scope scene. A human would never be that close to a deer period. Still a good film tho.

(No Spoilers, please!) At first glance I thought you were referring to the excellent Lars Von Trier hospital miniseries but then I noticed the year 2007. Surely you're not on about that shitty "action" movie set in Saudi Arabia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
