Thread: last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

Out of the furnace starring Christian Bale, who is an exceptional actor, in a gritty working class film which also has Woody, Forest Whitaker and Defoe in it.

Next up for me is The Revenant, ol' Leo DiCaprio's bear rapey masterpiece

I have had the urge to see some more Westerns since I have been reading a great autobiography of a guy who was pretty much the most interesting man in the world...yeah, he was like the Dos Equis dude.

cracking film that was, I really enjoyed that, what a cast it had as well.

Anyways I went to see Suicide Squad today

I wanted to enjoy it, I really did, I wanted the reviews to be way out of line...They wasn't, it was horrible.
The first 40 minutes were quite good and enjoyable as each 'villain' had their own mini origins tale, Will Smiths character was annoying from the offset as the righteous smug hit-man Deadshot, Killer Croc was instantly forgettable, Fireman was terribly cliched, Cara Delevingne I thought was surprisingly quite well done (at the start) and Margot Robbie and Jared Leto were show stealer's.

The main problem with the film is when the storyline actually kicks in, the script was shockingly poor, some of the characters lines were ridiculous and it took you straight out of the film every time (the worst lines seemed to be saved for Killer Croc and the Enchantress) Margot Robbies character was overplayed a lot of the time to the point she grew annoying, and Cara's character started off well then reduced to Cara Delevingne just standing there dressed a little silly and just wobbling around.

all in all if they had a better script and the film stretched the first 40 minutes into 2 hours in order to set up future films then it would have been a hell of a lot better, or better yet scrap the whole film and make a Batman film with Harley Quinn and the Joker as the main villains.

All in all I'd give it a very poor 4 out of 10

Blackhawk Down. Again. Much better this time around

Well The Revenant was utter crap....long, drawn out, simplistic storyline, preachy, just a damn mess of a movie. The special effects were alright, the bear did not look as if he raped Leo so that was a lot of fuss over nothing but that bear did fuck his character up something fierce.


Up next the ORIGINAL Ghostbusters 'The Ghost Breakers' starring Bob Hope

The Ghost Breakers was absolutely hilarious, Bob Hope was brilliant. A lot of the comedy doesn't play well especially today which of course made it all the more irreverent and humorous to me.

After that I saw Ron Howard's 'In The Heart of The Sea' which was the story of the Whaleship Essex ie the original Moby Dick. It was a decent movie, but the pacing and scope of it was all wrong.

After that I watched a little thing on YouTube about Stanley Kubrick's unfinished movies namely Napoleon and The Aryan Papers but also AI which Spielberg did.

Next up I have 'Darkman' which is a take off on 'The Shadow' and stars Liam Neeson pre Schindler's List and pre 'Taken'.

Good old 'Darkman' directed by Sam Raimi....ooooh boy....think a B movie version of Tim Burton's Batman/Batman Returns and this is it, this is the one. Danny Elfman, Tim Burton's A#1 choice for music did the score for 'Darkman' as well thereby connecting the two even more.

Liam Neeson's acting is questionable at best in this one....I think Willem Defoe would have been a better choice, but I digress....fun movie, good action, comic book feel to it which I appreciate a little more these days and honestly you could tell from the scenes that a video game was made out of it or was going to be made out of it.

Watched American Mary, very bloody and gory film but strangely erotic.

Is that the one about the bird who performs illegal operations on people and stuff?

If so then I watched that a while back, can't remember if it was any good though.

REC 4. It was late.

Yes it was on film 4 and very weird.

Watched Lone Survivor which is a first-hand account of a disastrous navy Seals mission in Afghanistan, this gruelling war picture follows four Americans pinned down near the Pakistan border while seeking out a Taliban militia leader.

I liked it and it starred Mark Wahlberg who is a poor mans Matt Damon.

Watched Mechanic: Resurrection

A little "James Bond-esque" with some of the unbelievable stunts, but passable.
Nothing like the original "Mechanic" and the way Bronson takes out his very first victim.
That was a classic.

Kickboxer Vengance - I've got to be honest, I was actually quite exited to have a look at this. The original kickboxer is a cult classic and even more awesome when you see the uncut version. Van Dam is Van Dam, Michel Qissi as Tong Po is the bollocks.

Sadly, Kickboxer Vengance is pony, as you might expect. The guy playing Kurt is an ass, his only redeeming act was the piss take of JCVD dancing in the original. Eric was a token part played by a weird looking cunt. Eric was THE bad guy in the original. I was even quite intrigued by the wrestler dude playing Tong Po, he looked the part but again fell short of the original, how could he not? I'm convinced Michel Qissi is in this one as a prisoner but no mention of him in any credits.

The copper trying to shut down Tong Po's outfit is hot as fuck.

War Dogs - What sounds like a ridiculously interesting story, reduced to an out of the box film with Jonah Hill (Was this done before he lost weight or did he seriously pack on some timber after being thin?) being Jonah Hill. Slow mo walk on/walk aways with RnB, its all there. Candy Pop production of what could have been awesome. Jonah Hills characters laugh is quite amusing to be fair.

Karate Kid I II III

You've got to admire Daniel Larusso. The guy does not know how to fight, never has, never will, yet somehow manages to win the All-Valley Under 18's Karate championship with the bare minimum of training (albeit from a genius trainer) defeating nearly every member of the Cobra Kai along the way.

He then goes to Okinawa with Mr M where he despite his training still doesn't know how to fight (a bit like Rocky after Clubber Laing, that cunt forgot how to duck as well). He does manage to win a fight to the 'death' with the nutjob nephew of his trainers best friend, phew, well done Daniel.

He then comes back to the Valley, the film producers have twigged now that the cunt cant fight so they devise a way to keep him from fighting, introduce a new rule meaning he wins the comp with one pathetic chop, brilliant. Whats great about Karate Kid III, is that within the space of a year, Dutch, Bobby, Johnny, The other one, have all fucked off and left Karate behind, not a sign of one of them at the comp. Whats sad about Karate Kid III, and II, is no Elizabeth Shue. I would let her poo on me.

Watched The Revenant last night. Visually it was stunning with some genuine 'fuck me!' moments. The bear attack obviously, arrows through the face, water coming out of his neck, all very impressive visuals. I couldnt help thinking as I watched it, times getting on here and there isnt much time left for this epic vengeance mission. I think I was expecting him to blame the whole lot of them and slaughter them one by one in gruesome fashion.

I also spent the whole film thinking I'd be crying here, and that was just because of the cold and wet. Proper hard cunts.

Bronson was a special actor and he is THE reason there hasn't been a proper The Punisher movie as for the most part the 'Death Wish' series is what The Punisher films should have been.....only maybe with a bit more grindhouse style violence in it.

Want what 'The Revenant' was trying to be? Try 'Jeremiah Johnson', now THAT my friend is a movie!

Also as for the "Proper hard cunts" 'There Will Be Blood' showed a lot of that grit and tenacity that one would expect from 'The Revenant'....also I think 'Last of The Mohican's' was better as well....ooh and 'Apocalypto' too, that was badass.




I watched a documentary on Netflix called 'Holy Hell' about the Buddhafield cult. I quite enjoy watching these movies about cults and seeing how people get hooked into this kind of thing. I watched movies on Jonestown and The Source Family and there's always a charismatic figure that runs these cults and this was no different, but I do believe and I'm sorry to say this about the people who were in the Buddhafield, but they seem a lot more naive than the people from the other groups. The leader of the Buddhafield, Michel Rostand (known by SEVERAL aliases) started out as kind of an Indian sounding guru and then migrated from that accent to kind of a Pinoy accent and then to kind of a Mexican/Hispanic accent all over just a few years and just from looking at the guy and how he carried himself I could IMMEDIATELY tell that he's homosexual, has a great many issues with his sexuality, and is quite possibly someone who would like to be transgendered but has not reached a level personally where he can accept that about himself but at the same time he has not let go of that idea/feeling. I find the psychology of such people very intriguing....master manipulators who always end up being more neurotic and fucked up than any of their followers who quite often suspend disbelief in order to accept the positive messages a leader like that might accidentally stumble over in their manipulations of their groups.
