The Movies Thread

Watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly warfare. A film in the vein of Where Eagles Dare and Force 10 from Navarone except not good.
Guy Ritchie really phoned it in with this one. Nazies get mowed down like the are Sniper Elite ai set to easy. The lack of any danger or urgency ultimately lets this movie down the most, it's just not exciting.
Between that we have the most bought from temu-Winston Churhill I have ever seen chomp on a cigar and do a dreadful impression once in a while.
Cavill and a couple of others seem to at least be having fun but the rest are just picking up paychecks, especially Ritchie.

Just watching ALIEN (the very old one from the 70's) on my XSX because I saw an sale for 6 movies from this franchise for 25€ sadly only for HD quality.

Could not remember that it is such an scary and tough movie. Of course on of the best Movie in general. I will watching the other 5 too.
 
Saw Gladiator 2 last night, what a fucking train wreck that was, cant believe how they even made such a shit follow up, thin story, bad acting, unrealistic stuff in the arena etc.
Pedro Pascal and Mescal were good, but a seasoned actor like Denzel, absolute shite.
1/5 for me
 
I was watching the 5 episodes series "Tchernorbyl" on amazon prime video from HBO and SKY.

Fck the soviets-russsians, RBMK nuclear power plant engineer, KGB and politicians!

It really hurts me whats happened in 1986 26th of april. And had an deja vu, on the moment where I was a child and in my elemantary school some kids from Belarus visit us and all these kids had cancer or had radiation sickness. I was so god damn really fckng sad at this moment and don't understand the situation. why? 😠😟

A classic every year. Watched on amazon prime. I'm not such a friend of watching for example "Die Hard" movies on xmas. It have to be cozy, quiet and sociable. :D

I've just finished watching The Damned United. Really good movie tbh. Sheen had Clough's character and mannerisms down to a tee

The fun thing about the movie/book is thats in the genre "realistic fiction", aka it didnt happen, or it could have happened, or the author takes a real person, some truth and then makes up a lot for the sake of the story.
Quite a few lawsuits both for the book and the movie followed
Nevertheless, Michael Sheen is brilliant as Cloughie

Because of your profile pic i have rewatched Flash Gordon, possibly after 27 years or more. Not a good movie but still very trippy and dumb fun. Seen it like every time it was on hbo as a kid, like every time!
 
Saw "No place for you in our town" (HBO MAX i think)
About a group of ultras from Pernik Bulgaria, a town really down in the dumps, just like the football team (3rd div) and the ultras/supporters all being nazis of course.
But from a social view very interesting, not every country has the same oppertunities and safety net etc
 
I've been in bed for the last month because I got sick and couldn't get out of bed. I thought I'd complete the movie list a little. There was a little progress. Letter A is finished. 2% :DD

Here's my list;

I still had some doubts about Final Reckoning about 30-40 minutes in as it goes a bit up its own ass but then it just gets better and better and I loved it by the end. Some incredible sequences and truly edge of seat exciting.
Not sure why Dead Reckoning got better reviews, for me this is a clear improvement and worthy finale.

Anywhere else to watch that? I don't have access to HBO
 
Happy Gilmore 2. Bit of a cheat because I haven't actually managed to watch the whole thing. I have watched most of it, it just starts bad and then gets gradually worse. It's very bad. Comedies are officially dead.

Naked Gun. Quite good actually. Forget that thing about comedies I just said, I may have spoken too soon. Happy Gilmore 2 still sucks, though.
