TheDeeDon Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I Daniel Blake was watched tonight. Loach at his finest, a stunning film. The sad part of it all is that Tories will watch it with a sense of pride thay their policies are working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Manchester by the sea. Bit slow but thought it was alright. Not sure I understand why it's been as lauded as it has been but decent enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Going In Style. Thoroughly enjoyed it and one of my favourite movies of the year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie03 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I saw The Handmaiden last night - dark, graphic, erotic, funny and very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nips_and_Tatties Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Just watched 'the infiltrator'. Really good crime drama about the man who helped bring down a money laundering network involving Pablo Escobar. Big al ..I think you'll like it.

francis_begbie Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Was at a loose end at work recently so watched Mr.Nice, the story of Howard Marks. Was pretty good. Excellent part played by Rhys Iffans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read the book (absolutely excellent read btw) i've been meaning to watch that for ages. Watch Kajaki yesterday, which was about a group of British soldiers who got stuck in a mindful near Kajaki dam. Enjoyed it, was produced by a company that works in the same building as me. It's on iPlayer at the moment, as is Nightcrawler which is also excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Gifted - Cracking little film, brought a tear to my eye. Only just seen T2.... watched it twice but still haven't made up my mind. "Choose life, verrrrronica" Watched Logan a while back - Excellent Kong Island - Shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nips_and_Tatties Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeah mondo i liked gifted. Cool wee film. Turned Logan off after 30 mins. Was bored . Kong nowhere near as good as first. Watching T2 tonight even though youve put me off now ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 T2 is ace. Better than the first one. The new Pirate of the Caribbean film is pretty weak although Depp is entertaining enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nips_and_Tatties Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 T2 was sooooooo disappointing. The first one absolutely kicks erse with it. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Watched the Hatton Garden Job tonight, enjoyed it. Nice, light hearted and I still maintain i'm gutted they didn't get away with it. Funny seeing the area I work in being central to a film as well as some of the areas I used to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Slowly making up my mind on T2. Watched it 3 times since my original post and definitely growing in to it. A few things bother me though: There is way too much reminiscing to the original. It was a classic and it was a long time ago but it's well over done. Is it a new film or a sequel/anniversary/best of all rolled in to one? I find the relentless nods to hibs a bit sickening (yes, we get it after the first one but come on huh?) Which leads me to my main point. With all the hibs stuff (flags and strips everywhere, graffiti on walls etc) I presumed that the scene after renton and sickboy have looted the lodge where they are having a coke fuelled table football binge and then end up sliding on their knees celebrating was filmed at Easter Road. I read that it is actually filmed at Tynecastle which I thought would be a big no no, no matter what filming constraints were in place. Now just watching the film again I can't make up my mind which stadium it is. It looks like Easter Road to me but then, when the shot pans right out, the flood light pylons and overhead, white gantrys make me think it is Tynecastle. Can anyone confirm?

manc_don Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Kiwi film called Pork Pie. Nice enough film with some very funny moments. It's a remake and according to kiwi reviews is a rarity, as it's actually better than the original. Sad consequence of it though, one of the lead actors got done for drink driving not long after filming it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interested to see how they deal with sneaking off the North Island given the 'Boat train' stopped a long while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, they used the "boat train"...although it was cargo, not passenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
