Films I watched this week

[PH XKR]

LAst night I watched the A team. Love the film, its a repeat offender for me. If I could give a film 11/10 this would get it. Any film where you parachute in a tank and steer it using the gun is good enough for me.

I cannot wait for the follow up

The physics just don't work for that....bu, then I guess it's not the point...

A common economic misconception.

Are you talking about the equal-and-opposite force bit where the recoil is disproportionately small next to the mass of the tank, or that those guns utilse recoil management (I'm not sure they do), or simply that you can only "steer" the tank in the narrow plane the gun operates at while the tank is hanging by its tail?

I still love this film. Gets better with each viewing.

Pretty sure a follow up was canned following poor performance in the box office. Unless you know otherwise?

77m net profit should demand a new one!

And yes the physics was laughable but its the A team!

(Jurassic World) Would you say ok for small child upon your view or not? The original I wouldnt have a worry with.

Yep, same as original - if you were happy with the kids and that, then go for it - my 6 and 2 year old found it ok, but did get a bit bored after a while.

Mr right.

Weird film, big name actors (Anna Kendrick, Sam Rockwell), felt very b-movie, very silly.

I enjoyed it. Id give it 3.5/5

Bit surprised to see Nymphomaniac Vol 1 on Film 4 last night, Vol 11 on tonight. Only very slightly edited too!!

Fully agree, never going to set the world on fire, Lars Von Trier not at his best....

Just watched this again,epic

Strange isn't it - I thought that was a tedious film.

So many missed opportunities, I felt and too much deification...

From IMDB.

Flight Control Commander: Are they trying to shoot down the other drone?

Capt. Charisa Sosa: No, they're trying to fly that tank...

A fun film, and that was a great scene, but 11/10?

Mr Right with Sam Rockwell and the delectable Anna Kendrick.
Good fun 'assassin with a twist'although very silly. Good action from Sam; he should do more fisticuffs. Tim Roth puts in a good turn, too.

Vol 2-10 on next week?

The A- Team, awful waste. I don't see any connections to the series save for the names. Rotten miscasting and writing and direction.

We'll have to agree to disagree but you're *so* wrong on all counts.
