Late to the party, but I'm three episodes into This City is Ours.... Brilliant stuff

Exactly where we are too.

We were watching Mobland which is fantastic, but I thought they were all available. We watched 3 and number 4 came out Sunday, but I hate week to week (serves us right for not doing our research I guess!), will now wait for all of the episodes and then probably re-watch from the start.

I was disappointed with The Amateur. It was kind of well done and a decent cast, but a little too predictable.

Didn't realise that about Mobland... We were choosing between the two to watch. Glad we went with TCIO instead

Sinners.

My film of the year so far, just so different and brilliant.

It is however like two films blended together to make one fantastic film.

The first part of the film, is a down and dirty depiction of the American Deep South, with the racism and the poverty, with incredible cinematography, a mesmerising soundtrack and little tiny hints at what`s to come in the second half of the film.

The second part of the film is like an assault on your senses, the noise, the music, the carnage and the violence.

The cast is near perfect and I`d wager that you`ll never ever see Jack O`Connell play a role like this again
( He goes full on Nicolas Cage with the overacting and looks like he`s having the time of his life )

Go and see it on the biggest screen you can and whatever you do DON`T LEAVE BEFORE THE END OF THE CREDITS !!!!!

Planning to see this next week. Seen a lot of reviews already saying it's possibly the best film of the year.
Glad the one trailer I've seen hasn't given much away

All I`ll say, is be patient with it, as the first hour is all about building and setting the scene for what`s to come and keep a close watch out for the little clues that get dropped along the way

 

[Nick]

Is it the one with Michael B Jordan?

 

[Farmer Jim]

Is it the one with Michael B Jordan?

It is.

He plays both of the main characters in it - Smoke and Stack.

Which completely burnt my head out, trying to work out how they did it !

 

[Mr Panda]

Andor S2 releasing 3 episodes weekly until mid May, so it’s like a movie per week.

Solid start I think and it’s interesting to see Star Wars finally actually show why the bad guys are so bad and not just reference their misdemeanours.

Yeah so far so good. Really shows a more mature and bleak vision of the Star Wars universe

Thought Sinners was good if not slightly too long

 

[Farmer Jim]

Thought Sinners was good if not slightly too long

Agreed.

They could`ve chopped some of the first half off.

 

[Farmer Jim]

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Havoc - Netflix latest blockbuster.

Despite Tom Hardy / Forrest Whittaker and Timothy Olyphant, it`s utter garbage.

Shocking CGI, dreadful script, bent cops, bent politicians and Triads, lots of guns, lots a car chases ( dodgy CGI galore ) a Matrix style body count and Tom Hardy with the worst New York accent you`ll ever hear.

Yawn.

Yes agreed. Some of the characters felt hastily introduced too so their deaths didn’t feel half as gut wrenching

Watched it last night, it seemed to be all about how many ways to show someone getting shot. Plot is awful & at times it was hard to work out who was shooting who. Surely Tom Hardy can do better than this or was it a vanity project written especially for him?

Some of it is madness, you think it's calming down and 65 people come running in one by one.

It's an easy watch but I still don't know the point.

Just watched Sinners at IMAX.

Thought it was really good but with random stuff happening partway through. Maybe stuff was mean to something but it was like for certain scenes they let somebody on acid take over.

Don't want to give spoilers but the random parts stick out like a sore thumb

I noticed on the credits, that he was part of the production team, so maybe he he was dipping his toe in film making, with a view to expanding his career ?

The thing is,Havoc was directed by Gareth Evans, who did one of the all time great action films - The Raid, so you`d have thought that Havoc would turn out to be much better, than the dogs breakfast, that it is.

Started Havoc last night. Shite. Turned off after 20 minutes.

Saw it last night, and thought it was brilliant. Loved the Irish folk music scene, it was nuts.

Also won't give away too many spoilers but are you on about the part where he's playing guitar and singing, and it brings through different timelines?
If so, I assumed it was referring to how the blues music influenced the more modern genres that came afterwards and they all came together, which also is what attracted the bad guy.

 

[ccfctommy]

Warfare.

Saw it at the picture house ( which is the best way to see it).

Loved it.

If you are going to stream it, turn the volume right up. The sound design is superb.

Had a day off so went to the cinema to watch this. First time I have went since Joker!

Yes, don't stream it. You need to watch it on the big screen. Very claustrophobic, very loud. A bit of an assault on the senses. But a very good film.

Yeah the Irish folk music was random but it was still decent.

Yeah the guitar bit as well was a bit random where everything went weird.

Did love the very very ending though!

The playlist is on Spotify too!

Thought the dance scene in the barn / club was immense too.

The sound quality was that good and with the crescendo of noise as it built up, you felt like you were there with them.

Some real proper stand out scenes in Sinners, which I think may go some way to win it awards.

Yeah on IMAX it needed to go down a couple of levels.

 

[Grendel]

I would recommend The Fued on C5 as the most ridiculous “drama” on TV.

There is the adage it’s so terrible you watch to the end. This is the perfect programme for that

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Did anybody watch the ‘Chess Masters’ programme that was on BBC the last few months?

 

[mmttww]

Copa90 at it again. Really interesting series so far.

Definitely was one to see at the cinema. Do wish I went in not knowing what the film turns out being though!
