Twisted (2004)
an average US cop film with a ridiculous ending. 5.8/10.

 

[claret50]

Fracture.
Legal/Drama film with Anthony Hopkins in the lead role.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Lion- A five year old Indian boy gets lost in the streets of Calcutta thousands of miles from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by an Australian family. 25 years later he sets out to find them- 8/10

 

[Stevencc]

Per qualche dollaro in più (For a Few Dollars More) (1965)

Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef hunt the same gang of outlaws.

8/10



Keoma (1976)

A "half-breed" gunfighter fights his confederate brothers, a tyrannical leader and the plague that is ravaging his hometown.

This one was great. Ridiculous soundtrack, slow-mo replays of bodies flying through the air.

9/10



Escape from New York (1981)

A brief break from spaghetti westerns but not Lee Van Cleef. Cheesy but cool.

8/10.



Da uomo a uomo (Death Rides a Horse) (1967)

A young gunfighter chases down the gang of outlaws that killed his family.

Lee Van Cleef is also in this one.

Excellent.

9/10



Blindman (1971)

A blind gunfighter chases a "delivery" of fifty mail-order brides that was intercepted by bandits.

Crazy concept in a film starring RIngo Starr.

8/10



Django il bastardo (Django the Bastard) (1969)

Strange, horror-flavoured spaghetti western featuring a gunfighter seeking revenge from beyond the grave.

7/10

 

[SALTIRE]

Can't tell you how many times I've seen the Clint Eastwood/Leone westerns, I used to watch about 3 or 4 a week when I was a kid, I never tired of them.

Same with Escape From New York as well; I had it on VHS and watched it endlessly because Lee Van Cleef again, Kurt Russell being cool as fuck as Snake, and that big chesty woman that tagged along in that film!

 

[Lance Stoe]

Life As We Know It- Comedy starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel. The godparents of a toddler are forced to put their differences aside when her parents die in an accident- 5/10

 

[mowgli]

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas (2008)
A touching film about the friendship of two 8 year old boys one the son of a Nazi concentration camp commander the other a jew a prisoner in the camp. Alas the ending was ridiculous and let the film down which was a shame. 7.5/10.

 

[Lance Stoe]

The Full Monty- Six unemployed steel workers form a male striptease act. The women cheer them to go “full monty”- Total nudity- 8/10

thought this was brilliant...

 

[Lance Stoe]

Quality film. Trainspotting is the best British film of all time though

 

[SALTIRE]

I always think of the Duke of Rothesay doing that when that film was coming out and it makes me boke a bit.

 

[claret50]

Along way down.
Black comedy about 4 strangers who decide to commit suicide on new years eve from the same building roof top.

Quality film. Trainspotting is the best British film of all time though

Have you seen the sequel T2 ? Personally loved it as much as the first. Funny as fuck.

 

[mowgli]

Alexander (2004)
Apart from the bloody battles this was a boring film and Colin Farrell as Alexander was a joke. 5/10 just for the battle scenes.

 

[Leo]

Sorry mate....I don't get the connection ? (not the boke bit....the D O R)

Forget that....googled DOR & got it.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Have you seen the sequel T2 ? Personally loved it as much as the first. Funny as fuck.

Yes. It’s brilliant but it’s not as good as the first

 

[Lance Stoe]

Never Let Me Go- Dystopian drama based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley star as a trio of friends facing up to a heartbreaking destiny- 6/10

 

[claret50]

Anti Social (2015)
I assume that this was a low budget film, the film had the lot, armed robbery, drugs, torture, rape, murder and general mayhem, the acting was B grade at best, including the part played by Meghan Markle (she who will become the latest Mrs Windsor next month) as the girlfriend of one of the gang's brothers, I can only hope that she is better as being HRH than she was as an actress.
Ps. nice legs though.

Fear Dot Com (2002)
Started off well with a New York detective trying to find a nutter who tortures women live on the internet but the last 40 minutes were just weird and lost me completely.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Pretty Baby- A young teenager lives as a prostitute in New Orleans in 1917. 8/10

Literally one of the worst films ever made!

You don't see that on the TV these days for obvious reasons.

 

[Stevencc]

The second one was great, yeah.

I preferred it to the first one, which I also enjoyed.

In between watching the first and second I had read all of the books so maybe that helped me to enjoy it that little bit more than the original.

 

[Indian Dan]

Just watched Baby Driver. Surprisingly good. A recommend.

 

[silkyman]

Just watched Baby Driver. Surprisingly good. A recommend.

It was very well reviewed so shouldn’t have been a surprise! Top film though. But Edgar Wright is a cracking Director.

I’m currently enjoying Captain Underpants...

 

[Darlo On Tour]

Recently watched The Drop (2014) (Tom Hardy) working as a bartender in a drop bar in the shady underworld of Brooklyn bars with his cousin (James Gandolfini). Who died suddenly at the age of 51 shortly after finishing this movie. Good film 8/10.

The Girl on the Train (2016) (Emily Blunt) gives a masterful performance who plays the role of an alcoholic wife, who feels she is losing her mind, due to her cheating, aggressive and manipulating husband. As the story unfolds with other characters with troublesome backgrounds. Good film 9/10

 

[Stevencc]

Se sei vivo spara (Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!) (1967)

A "half-breed" gunfighter is betrayed by his gang and left for dead after a successful robbery. He is nursed back to health by two "medicine men" before he sets out for revenge...only to find that all but one of his ex-gang members have been hung in a strange town.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the other spaghetti westerns I've watched. It stands out as a particularly weird one, though, with some pretty psychedelic editing, a gang of gay, rapist "muchachos", some medieval-style torture scenes, a fair amount of gore, shite dialogue and a gun that fires golden bullets.


6/10

 

[mowgli]

Darc (2016)
One man's hunt for a cops daughter beinf trafficked by The Yakuza, violent as you'd expect with very little plot but watchable. 6.8/10.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Q&A- Violent thriller starting Nick Nolte and Timothy Hutton. A lawyer uncovers a web of racism and corruption whilst investigating a police shooting- 8/10

 

[QPR_Matt]

Brawl in cell block 99.

It is a brutal film, one in which you see Vince Vaughan being something more than an idiot. He gets caught running drugs and then has to do things to save his wife and unborn child. Graphic fighting scenes and you do feel for him. Good watch. 8/10.
