KennyFuckinPowers Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I won't be re-watching it either. His poorest film by some distance. I didn't enjoy the Kill Bill films to be honest, I'd say they were his poorest, but this wasn't far behind, some excellent dialogue aside, it never did it for me.

rocket_scientist Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I enjoyed the Kill Bills, despite some preposterous plot lines, the sword fighting aerobics being beyond a joke. Pulp Fiction is the greatest film of all time for me. Django is excellent but Jackie Brown is hugely underrated. Those three are his best but Reservoir Dogs and particularly Madchen being stuck in the middle with him was part of an epic ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I have seen Jackie Brown, but I'll look it out for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Atomic girl, good film, and I've always fancied saffa Charlize theron, but christ, she can't do accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Looks like a laugh. Talk of Disney 'having issues' with it being released given it was made by Fox (now owned by the mouse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I went to the cinema the earliest I'd ever been this week. 11 a.m. screening of Once upon a time in Hollywood on the day of release. Loved it. Tremendous acting by Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it. Tremendous acting by Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio. Looking forward to seeing this one. Even though this is the first positive account of it I've heard! I know 3 people who've seen it and none of them liked it. I just can't see me not enjoying a work of Tarantino's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The Hateful 8 was a big disappointment for me but if it's any help, my 17 year old went with her mates on the night of release and my oldest daughter went to see it in Rotterdam at the weekend and they both liked it too so there's three positive accounts albeit from the same family. I can't imagine anyone other than a moron giving it a negative. Specifically, they'll be complaining that there wasn't a beginning, middle and end, like a traditional storyline. But since when did QT follow fashion. You'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijc Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I watched The Hateful Eight on a flight home from vegas/Mexico trip, thought it was alright enough but I'm not really a film person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hateful 8 had some good bits for sure but I was probably expecting too much, with QT having produced some of my favourite films of all time, Pulp Fiction being the best. I thought Jackie Brown was vastly underrated and that plus Django and Inglorious - in no particular order - would be included in my all-time top 5. This one was better than Hateful but not in my top list. It was gripping entertainment for the whole 2 hrs 40. And stay to the very end, past the credits. It's worth it...

KennyFuckinPowers Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I watched Best Of Enemies last night, Sam Rockwell is in it, I enjoy his work. It's based on a true story, CP Ellis, former exalted cyclops of the KKK & Ann Atwater, a civil rights activist. I'd recommend it, thoroughly enjoyed it to be honest.

KennyFuckinPowers Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Watched IT 2 last night, on for over 2 hours and 30 minutes FFS, but it was pretty decent, plenty of jump scares and that cunt plays Pennywise very well it has to be said. Would give it a 7/10 and definitely recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Don't think it's out over there yet, but go watch jojo rabbit when it comes out. Taika waititi's new film about the end of the second world war. Very, very funny. Saw it at the weekend and would give it a solid 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The last thing I saw a week or two back was Official Secrets. Based on a true story about a whistleblower who was charged with a breach of the official secrets act. A really good film if a little depressing. Our society is corrupt to the core and many of us swallowed Tony Blair's lies so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 "Resurfacing" on Amazon Prime. Documentary about Andy Murray's journey back to professional tennis following two hip operations. Loved it. You don't have to like the guy (although I think it's a bit weird that some people don't) but you have to respect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 "Resurfacing" on Amazon Prime. Documentary about Andy Murray's journey back to professional tennis following two hip operations. Loved it. You don't have to like the guy (although I think it's a bit weird that some people don't) but you have to respect him. Finally watched it. Very good and fair play to him for allowing the major op to be filmed. Would have been nice if it had finished on his win against Wawrinka. But what was the point in interviewing Lendl, Mauresmo, Nadal, Federer etc... they were on screen for barely 10 seconds. Odd. Would have loved to have heard more, especially from Lendl.

rocket_scientist Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The one who liked it is correct. You're right. Just watched it. Outstanding. Loved Joaquin Phoenix, both his acting and the character. The most fucked up thing I've seen for a very long time. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I watched Kingsman; a secret service last night, a total random selection off Netflix. I'd never heard of it but it had a big cast and I thoroughly enjoyed it despite the most preposterous of preposterousness going on. The boy who played Eggsy just won a Golden Globe for his Elton John. A very good young British actor. Taron Egerton has a big future.
