Yes 100% clearly going to play a factor. A lot of build up with that for that final scene of the Alpha to be it.

Lovely cameo at the end too.

All the signs are that Cillian Murphy is in the next one

Land man series 2 finale was decent. Better than the rest in that series.

 

[Nick]

The latest 6 of a thousand blows decent as well

The Tank ( 2025 ) Amazon Prime.

German language with subs.

Anti war film, in a similar vein to the magnificent Das Boot.

Set at the end of WW2, the Germans are in full retreat in Russia, a tank crew is sent on a top secret mission, to find a missing German general, deep behind Soviet lines.

You`ll recognise lots of the actors from playing German characters in English language films.

It`s not a patch on Das Boot, but what is ?

Still a very worthy watch, well acted, great battle scenes and sets and with a real twist at the end, which I was starting to suspect, but wasn`t really sure whether it was me imagining things !

I`d have happily gone to the cinema to see it.

Just watch ep 1 of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Slow as hell, hope it gets going in later episodes.
Didn't know they had vindaloo on the menu.

I really enjoyed it. Thought it was great and rather witty too. Had no problem with the pacing.

It has fabulous reviews.

Luckily they have a thing called special effects and in the script it wouldn't have called for him to have to do it himself.

Probably be gravy, clay and cornflour.

Hope this helps.

Glad you cleared that one up.

I watched Roofman last night which is a true story about an ex soldier (Channing Tatum) who breaks into McDonalds stores via the roof and has to live in a Toys r us store.

Easy viewing and enjoyable

Not a lot, I wasn't expecting it and it was really life like, I'm just glad I wasn't eating at the time

Not sure it added anything to the script, other than creating a talking point.

Well this is the writer's explanation.



I get that. But surely there were other ways of creating this narrative.

I suppose they had the 'urge', and decided to 'run' with it.

Mine was the same. I reckon she must have been 6 or 7 when she first saw The Exorcist.

No backbone, some kids, have they.

At school it was said some of the special effects on that film were done with Fishy Moore's processed peas.

I remember watching Threads at school when i was around 12 that was an experience

Just watched House of Dynamite. Worst ending of any film I have ever watched. Fucking bollocks

Following on from the excellent series Vikings on Netflix, I finally got around to watching the spin off - Vikings Vahalla.

I`d been putting off watching it, as I thought it`d be dreadful compared to Vikings, which I loved.

It was very surpised, as it is really very good and the only thinking lacking was a central character, with the talents of Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrook, other than that, it`s every bit as good as Vikings.

Zone of Interest. ( German with subs )

It was on Channel 4 last night, so it`ll be repeated.

The film is filmed from the view of Rudolph Hoss, the camp Commandant of Auschwitz and his family.

They live in a beautiful house in it`s own grounds, right next to the camp walls, where the "day to day " sounds of the camp are clearly audible, as is the smoke from the chimneys.

The film follows the day to day routine of the Hoss family, as genocide is committed every day next door.

It`s a film with a lot of interpretation and symbolism, so may not be for everyone and beyond the screams, the gun shots, the dogs barking the rumble of the furnaces and the smoke billowing out of the chimneys, you never see inside the camp.

A very powerful film and you can see why it won so many awards.

Watched "Sinners" last night, very good can see why it has so many Oscar nominations

I enjoyed that film.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

So, 28 Years Later is amazing. Impeccably shot, beautiful score, fantastic editing, and Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes are simply magnificent. I can see why it was a little polarising when it came out but I thought it was wonderful start to finish.

Rental Family is an excellent watch. The perfect type of film for Brendan Fraser, great to see him having a career renaissance.

It's about a struggling American actor working in Japan. He gets a 'part', and ends up working for a company, that supply actors for real life situations. From people wanting a buddy, funeral attendee, family member, pretty much anything you can think of.

Watched it a week or so ago, it's decent to be fair.

The Coffee Table ( Spanish with subs )

A friend recommended this to me and told me nothing about it, other than it was an ultra dark comedy horror and not to read anything about it, which I didn`t.

The film is about a bickering middle aged Spanish couple, who have a new born baby c/o of IVF, who live completely normal hum drum, day to day lives in an un named part of Spain.

All I can say about this film, is that after the opening act, it leaves you very much with a decision, as to whether you really want to carry on watching it ( I did ).

I`m not going to give anything away, but I`ve seen some bad stuff over the years and this up there with them.

The " dark comedy " elements come after the opening act, as just when you think things can`t get any worse for the couple, things just carry on escalating.

The final act, then plunges you back into the realms of darkness, same as the first.

It`s very well acted and put together and I`m sure it`ll win some indie film making awards, but it`s certainly not a film that I`ll be watching again.

It would possibly be the best film, that I wouldn`t recommend to anyone !

Yep.
Watched this.
Blimey.
