Great film.
Dredd was on tonight.
Love it, nice gritty feel, not quite a visually accurate as the Stallone but the vibe was miles better.
Pity about the awful cgi right at the end when Cersei gets hers, and not sure the chucking her off the roof bit worked but excellent otherwise
8/10
I thought he went out of character by passing Anderson at the end. Shame we never got a sequel to this one.

Yes, it was superb. I really like that film. Definitely worthy of a sequel. Love it, nice gritty feel, not quite a visually accurate as the Stallone but the vibe was miles better.

O.K. Connery
Utterly terrible but amazing at the same time. I've never seen a film that made me go WTF more times. It's full of poor dubbing which just makes it funnier to me
I loved it
Short and very, very basic synopsis as I see it:
The best secret agent in Europe (never named but presumed to be Sean Connery) is not available, so intelligence services recruit his younger brother Neil, who plays a fictionalised version of himself in which he's an American hypnotist and plastic surgeon
Half of the cast is straight from 1960s James Bond films, basically playing their roles from the James Bond films

Tonight, we watched a 1971 film called See No Evil (or Blind terror, as it was called in the UK), starring Mia farrow as a blind woman being terrorised.
I drove up to HMV to get this yesterday, but didn't have it, so ordered it from Amazon (new BR release and came today). I hadn't seen it since the late '70's/early '80's when I was a boy, and I was pleasantly surprised at just how effective it still is as a horror/thriller.
7/10 - but very early '70's..

Baby Driver - 2/10
Couldn't believe how much hype this had received and how bad it actually was. In fairness though I bloody HATE musicals and cottoned on that it was pretty much a modern take on the genre. That aside, the acting is gash as is the plot.
Have to agree - not a film you'll go back to.Couldn't believe how much hype this had received and how bad it actually was. In fairness though I bloody HATE musicals and cottoned on that it was pretty much a modern take on the genre. That aside, the acting is gash as is the plot.
Like Inception - hype overtook reality.

Hitman's Bodygaurd
Finally got round to seeing this, quite funny in bits and everything you'd expect.
7/10
Flatliners
Not seen any reviews of this yet I don't think? Not seen the original but this recent was good I thought. Weird and worth a watch. Unexpected (pretty cr*p ending) though imo.
7/10
On another note - ordered some classics that I've never seen from Music Magpie last week so looking forward to those! Include The Shining, Butterfly Effect, Minority Report, Night at the Roxbury...
'Once were warriors' and 'What becomes of the broken hearted'.
30 something year old Kiwi movie, and sequel, about gangs and domestic violence. Pretty gritty movie portraying the very bottom end of social life amongst the indigenous in New Zealand.
"An unemployed Maori living in the Auckland slums, Jake Heke (Temuera Morrison) has a terrible temper that he takes out on family and strangers alike. His wife, Beth (Rena Owen), takes regular beatings after he's been at the pub, and his kids do what they can to sidestep trouble".

Jake "the Muss" is one of the most scary characters in cinema. Given this, what one of his drinking buddies does is *insane*...30 something year old Kiwi movie, and sequel, about gangs and domestic violence.

The original is one of those films that didn't need a remake imo...
Gee....the original wasn't THAT great.
