last movie you watched (Flag Up SPOILERS)

Ok I watched “the promise” which is about the Armenian genocide. It was interesting in the fact you really don’t see much Hollywood productions about Armenia’s genocide but they didn’t go into much detail about what brought it up other than a few Turks saying Armenians were a tumor that needed to be removed. Also, it had a live story going on. Why a love story/genocide movie mixed. If they left out the love story they could have spent more time on the politics of the genocide. I had to watch it a half hour at a time as we our electricity is still fucked up from the tornado. All in all it did show the plight of the Armenians and some of the horror they went through. It had Christian Bale in it I expected it to be a bit better. I can’t say rush out to get or stream it but it had some interesting parts

Anne of the Thousand Days (1969)

10/10

This one is nicely written and directed. I loved the historical accuracy. There's exemplary acting by Richard Burton, Geneviève Bujold, and Anthony Quayle. A more recent movie covering the same historical events, The Other Boleyn Girl, is nowhere nearly as good.

12 Strong (2018) 8/10

Very good movie. Based on real events in northern Afghanistan in the fall of 2001.

Kill Switch (2017) 7/10
Revolt (2017) 7/10

A couple of underrated sci-fi movies. People are used to high budget special effects, these two were made on relatively small budgets but the stories were more original and less predictable than in some of the high-budget movies.

The Hunger Games (2012) 5/10

Had an all-star cast, but the story and direction was mediocre.

Trollhunter (2010) 5/10

It can be rather frustrating to watch these shaky-camera found-footage films. The story had potential, but deteriorated by the second half.

The Northlander (2016) 2/10

This one has some of the very worst acting I have ever seen in a movie, and the story makes no sense at all.

Now u are talking Richard Burton is the man. I will check this one out my favorite films are the old noirs can’t get enough

Introduced the wife to "The Petrified Forrest" classic gangster flick....but also with Leslie Howard and Betty Davis it had a little romance in it.

Cargo, surprisingly decent. Protip: Babies in the apocalypse do not mix.

That's a good movie - I love Bette Davis. It includes one of Humphrey Bogart's early roles as a criminal. I find he was more convincing as a gangster than as a good guy.

Crime Wave great film noir and filmed a bit cinema vertae years before it was popular. Studio originally wanted Bogart in it, director disagreed so his budget got slashed and he was given two weeks to make the film, he did an excellent job, very gritty, ahead of its time

@Freedom I got 12 strong solely on your recommendations. I read some bad reviews online but I’ll give it a shot. I’m not big into war movies, I had enough military this lifetime but I’ll run it up the flag pole see if I give it a salute

Bogey was versatile he was a darker version of Cagney, he was George Raft but with good snappy delivery on his lines when all Raft seemed to do was flip a coin. I love the old gangster movies! 'The Public Enemy', 'Little Cesar', 'The Roaring Twenties', 'Scarface'....oh so many great great movies!

Edward G Robinson was great. Famous for the gangster roles but he was great in a few drama and noir films I saw. By the way I just picked up Winchester about Mrs Winchester building the never ending house, I’ll comment after screening

Watched Winchester, don’t bother, I’ll never get that 90 minutes back

Would have worked GREAT as a horror comedy....have like the Three Stooges building staircases to nowhere and what not. Interacting with ghosts.....it would have been a laugh riot.

Anyone seen new death wish film ?

Kickboxer Retaliation - Fucking awesome!!

Kickboxer is a bit of a cult classic, especially the unedited version, but I love the spin offs. You don't need to know whats going on, it's basically Kickboxer (The Reincarnate of Kurt Sloan) V's the Worlds Strongest man on PEDS. Whilst he's on route to WSM finale, he kicks the piss out of a load of people for reasons I'm not entirely sure of.

Cameos from all sorts of MMA WSM and Boxing bods, Iron Mike is in it ;D

If you dont like this you need to roundhouse yourself in the face.

Watched sat night, I enjoyed it. falls into the taken, law abiding citizen, equilizer catagories but not as good as those imo.

Took the kids to watch Solo, they enjoyed it, I thought wasn't very good, pretty boring to be honest. Prefered Rogue One.

Can’t bring myself to go see it. Know I’ll be disappointed.

Star Wars as we know it is over.

And apart from Leila they all become relative losers turning their back on the rebellion

Beddim tish !

Just watched Logan lucky

Thought it was pretty dull

I actually watched the last two Star Wars out of order this week and became real confused. Kept waiting for Han to go and then Luke blows away in the wind. Boba Fett trailer looks solid. I want a release strictly focused on the bounty hunters, Sand people and Jawas from first 3. That would be great.

Red Sparrow

Russian Spy/Crime Thriller with a shitload of sexual filth and really violent
Got mixed reviews from the critics but i really liked it, the main character (Russian girl) is hot as fuck and gets her tits and ass out constantly, good story with loads of twists too.

Started watching it the other night with a girl (fwb) but ended up fucking halfway through ;D so watched it in bed the following morning.

Won't spoil the beginning but how the Male Ballet dancer never got a red card was beyond me ;);D

Red Sparrow Full HD - 2018

The first one maybe but it got a little absurd near the end of the 1970's franchise.
