James Broonbreed Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I want to see the Han Solo film, but cinemas are a huge deterrent for me. My couch is heaps comfier than any shitey cinema seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Deadpool 2 was good fun. Proper belly laughs. I think it's definitely missing it's anarchistic edge that came with being so low-budgeted in the first film. Took a little longer to get in to it but once it did it was proper good. Cable was great, Domino was great. Brad Pitt was fantastic. I waited until the end of the credits for any other post-credit scenes and was a bit disappointed. But the mid-credit scenes were absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they not wonder they the lights hadn't come back on, or why 90% of people weren't leaving? It was great fun though. I preferred it slightly to the first. Loved the parachute scene. I hate the cinema though. It reminds me why I usually wait for a film to come out on Bluray (last film I saw at a cinema was the first Deadpool). Film started at 2:45, and two lads come in late at 3:30! And obviously they sit two seats away from me, rustling of jackets, popcorn, bags, TALKING TO EACH OTHER. Die. Once the trailers are done, that should be it, you've missed it and you're not coming in, rather than disturb everyone else who has paid £12-odd to be there. I agree with everything you've said here. Once the trailers are done, doors locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Another wrestling documentary recommendation. Andre The Giant. It's available on Sky Atlantic on demand at the moment. Brilliant, and Vince McMahon cries in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Aye, it's pretty good. The guy was a total workhorse/ You should see if you can get a hold of this one about Rick Flair. Whilst i'm here... I've seen some really good horror recently. The Ritual is a fun, fairly scary homage to just about every type of british horror movie ever made. Goes off in a million different directions but remains enjoyable. Eden Lake : Young couple camp on a beach, get menaced by group of youths, mayhem ensues. Well paced with some really tense scenes. Some satisfying comeuppance scenes too. Hell House LLC: apparently 'found footage' is a horror genre that is going mental at the moment.This was one of the scariest films i've ever seen. Thought it was fantastic. The Collection: Guy breaks into a house, realizes there's a crazy murderer already in there with the family as hostages, can't escape coz the house is booby trapped. Like a really grim Home Alone. A bit senseless at times but gory as fuck in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the found footage thing blew up biggest around the time of Rec, Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity etc, and kind of died when the new Blair Witch film didn't do too well. Haven't seen much hype around found footage in ages. Seems to be more mood and atmospheric driven horror, like Hereditary and Quiet Place etc that's having the upswing right now.

ca_gere Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 True, it's been on the go steadily since Blair Witch but there seems to be a mini renaissance at the moment in particular. Most likely due to the True Crime trend in podcasting/Netflix just now you're seeing them pop up a lot more - not so much at the cinema but perhaps more the good stuff from the past few years bubbling to the surface on streaming services. Maybe it's Netflix and co buying them up and promoting them because they see an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Ghostbusters. The 2016 one. Nowhere near as bad as all those precious boys crying about it supposedly ruining their childhood made it out to be. It was fun and silly. Kate McKinnon is great in it. I thought the cameos started to get a bit too cheap as it went on, but overall its a good watch. I hope there's a sequel less reliant on throwbacks.

AVB Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 finally got round to watching 'hunt for the wilderpeople' it was surprisingly good, I like it when I see a movie that isnt a rehashing of the same old story we've all seen a million times. Rhys Darby is always hilarious & Taiki Waititi's involvement made me go back and rewatch 'what we do in the shadows' fucking love that film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I recently rewatched Eagle Vs Shark. Nowhere near as good as 'what we do in the shadows' and 'hunt for the wilderpeople', but still pretty good bantz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hunt for the Wilderpeople is great. Not enough Rhys Darby in it. Took me ages to realise where I knew the kid from Deadpool from, and it was that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Also Killer Legends, a Netflix doc where a guy investigates the source of urban legends involving murder to if there's any truth to them. It sounds good but it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Watched that new(ish?) Lonley Island film, Popstar. It's as silly as you'd expect it to be. Pretty shallow plot which is predictable from the off, but it makes up for it with all the silliness. Worth a watch if you are familiar with and like Andy Samberg. Game Night, starring Jason Bateman and whatshername from Mean Girls. Pretty good. Not many belly laughs for a comedy, but it's a pretty cool plot.

James Broonbreed Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Popstar was reasonably funny, but it's astronomically far away from being anywhere near as funny as Hot Rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I agree, though I also think that is the case for about 90% of comedies. Hot Rod is #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
