10 minutes in to The Infiltrator. Opinion TBD but i have snorted once, so it may be ok.

Why is Robocop still relevant?

The Black Clansmen. Spike Lee’s latest. Astonishingly clever and brilliantly entertaining.

Robocop. Yeah, they call it a classic now, but it was shit at the time. A friend of mine put it best I think. Robocop is a 5-star 2-star movie.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
A wet January afternoon so I went to see a film I might not have bothered with otherwise. So glad I did!
Spider-Man: into the spiderverse- what a brilliant film. All animation but I would say it has raised the bar for the likes of Disney by some measure. If you are a Marvel fan - even in a small way - go see it and don’t be put of by it being ‘animation’. It is something else again!

Spider-Verse was amazing.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Watched 'Searching' last night as a rental on my subscription channel. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7668870/
It didn't get a wide release though I think it should have - anyway it got onto TV pretty quickly.
The whole thing - a 'mystery' story about a guy whose daughter goes missing takes place on computer screens, showing texts, Facebook and other social media content as well as the occasional bit of video. No actual film of the drama in the usual way at all.
I thought it was clever and really interesting - plus it had a really good twist at the end. Catch it if you can.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
I saw Searching in the cinema. I figured it out very early on. The answer was telegraphed clearly to anyone paying attention to what was in the windows on the peripheral. Pissed my girlfriend off that I "ruined" it on her. I think if she wasn't paying attention that's on her.

Here's when the plot was given away. MASSIVE SPOILER.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Really? The idea of a twist is to make it a surprise. Just cos you are a smarty pants is no reason to spoil it for her. I'm a smarty pants and I missed it.Animavore wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 6:02 pmI saw Searching in the cinema. I figured it out very early on.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
I got it so early it wasn't guaranteed when I said it to her. Of course once the cat was out of the bag it was hard not to look at the rest of the movie through that lens.Rum wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 6:12 pmReally? The idea of a twist is to make it a surprise.

Re: Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.
Cold and wet afternoon, so I did something I rarely do- go to the cinema on my own.
Went to see Stan and Ollie. I’m a big fan of Steve Koogan to begin with, but I thought the film was a triumph. The two wives added enormously to it. Sentimental in places but tough enough in others to make it work. Really glad I went!

The Devil's Backbone. Again. A personal favourite.

Alita: Battle Angel.
Hmmm. Didn't really like the design of the film and the script would have been rejected by CBeebies as too simplistic.
The girls seemed to enjoy a female character kicking everyone's arse, mind.
