The Justice League - Snyder Cut - 7/10

So much better than the original release. Coherent story rather than feeling like a collection of shorts glued together, visually more appealing and just better in pretty much every way. Pity they won't be following on with anything else (for now....)

Rams (2020)

A true Australian movie so if your get the opportunity, give it a go

Storyline

In remote Western Australia, two estranged brothers, Colin (Sam Neill) and Les (Michael Caton), are at war. Raising separate flocks of sheep descended from their family's prized bloodline, the two men work side by side yet are worlds apart. When Les's prize ram is diagnosed with a rare and lethal illness, authorities order a purge of every sheep in the valley. While Colin attempts to stealthily outwit the powers that be, Les opts for angry defiance. But can the warring brothers set aside their differences and have a chance to reunite their family, save their herd, and bring their community back together?

IMDB and the trailer for your viewing pleasure.

Whiskey, I watched this based on your recommendation. It was pretty good, thanks. Michael Caton and Sam Neil were especially good.


Saw, Nobody. Would highly recommend.

This is the kind of movie I would never choose based on the plot synopsis, but if it came on the TV at 10:30pm on a thursday night I'd end up watching it to the end..

Avatar (2009)

Yes, that one but on my new big screen OLED The detail, the vibrant colours Did I mention the astounding detail?

My reference for video and audio is the blue-ray of Baraka.

Imo, it's got the best colours, contrast, sound-mix ever. And the story is quite as good as Avatar :sly: . It doesn't have a story to speak of.

It's similar to Kojaanisqatsi.

I've read about that one. It's a remake of a scandinavian or icelandic movie, I think.
The critics said it didn't catch the cold humour of the original.
Thank you, I had the original kind of in my mind. Forgot about it.

Nobody was fantastic, way better than John Wick because it didn't take itself seriously at all. Also <3 Christopher Lloyd <3

[obsidian]

Mortal Kombat.

I had pretty low expectations since Hollywood never does a good adaptation of video games in movies, but was pleasantly surprised. The action is fantastic, the acting is... well... not so bad if you overlook some of the cringey lines shoehorned from the game. My main criticism would be that they had a rather poor way of introducing characters, there's too many of them and many feel like afterthoughts.

First 7 minutes:

The Courier (2020)

Yes, the Benedict Cumberbatch Russian spy movie of late and based on true story in the early 1960's around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Cold War spy Greville Wynne and his Russian source try to put an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Not too bad at all.
8/10

Sicario (2015)

Very interesting. I've been wanting to check it out for years. What an insight and yes I know it's a movie.

Wrath of Man
Absolute garbage but it has Jason Stathom to carry it.
3/10 for the one actual action scene it decided to include in a revenge film.

[xer0s]

Wow really? That’s disappointing. With Guy Richie and Statham, I would have expected better.

It has a 7.5 on IMDb. You might be the minority here...

[Dirge Inferno]

Ghost in the Shell (1995), always a classic, always 10/10.

It's possible I am but I doubt it... if it didn't have Guy Richie's name attached to it I don't think the critics would have been nearly as kind. The film dragged pretty hard, the dialogue was just horrible (but I was expecting stupid camp from the film so I'm overlooking the dialogue), there were like three stories in the film trying to be told and all of them were executed poorly.
Give it a watch if you feel like it.

(They should have named the film 'Dark Spirit')

Mortal Kombat.....................

I took the few minutes to view as it wasn't really 'my cup of tea' but it looks like it might be well worth investing a view
Thanks for the prompt obsidian I will find it somewhere to view.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)

Just had to see a follow on of sorts.

I really liked the scene where they use sign language about half way through the movie as it feels rare to be surprised there days.

Yea, good. 8/10

1917
Truely astonishing camera-work and editing. Story is just a by-product here, imo. Stil 8/10.

Underwater
This could have been way worse. But it's pretty good actually, 6.5/10. Those .5 are for delwing into the Lovecraftian realm.

The untold true story of the legendary detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde.

Really enjoyable

Hotel Inferno II.

There is trash.
Then there is absurd trash.
And then there is Hotel Inferno Part 2.
Made by the italian Necrostorm-Productions comes a "horror"- movie that defies classification.
It's not so bad that it is good. It is just awefully bad.

Recorded in POV-style it features a lot of bad practical effects mixed in with obvious CGI-splatter, non-existent story and, well, nothing else.
I could understand the english voice-actors and generally the audio was quite good.

I made it 25 minutes in before I had to stop it.

WTF 2/10 for the effort.

[Κracus]

Predestination.

What a mindfuck, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Whiskey 7]

Wrath of Man
Absolute garbage but it has Jason Stathom to carry it.
3/10 for the one actual action scene it decided to include in a revenge film.

I stumbled across this and I'm going to persist to the end. Seems interesting thus far.... but I am only 30 minutes in so I am looking for the twists..

Finished next day AM. It wasn't bad, maybe 5/10 for me and yes, Jason Stathom carried it.

[Whiskey 7]

Watched The Sting.

Yes, again but it has been years. That 1973 movie with Robert Redford, Paul Newman & Robert Shaw & many others of course... You know it but if you don't...

Storyline
Johnny Hooker, a small time grifter, unknowingly steals from Doyle Lonnegan, a big time crime boss, when he pulls a standard street con. Lonnegan demands satisfaction for the insult. After his partner, Luther, is killed, Hooker flees, and seeks the help of Henry Gondorff, one of Luther's contacts, who is a master of the long con. Hooker wants to use Gondorff's expertise to take Lonnegan for an enormous sum of money to even the score, since he admits he "doesn't know enough about killing to kill him." They devise a complicated scheme and amass a talented group of other con artists who want their share of the reparations. The stakes are high in this game, and our heroes must not only deal with Lonnegan's murderous tendencies, but also other side players who want a piece of the action. To win, Hooker and Gondorff will need all their skills...and a fair amount of confidence.

Classic 9/10

The Reflecting Skin

6/10

David Lynch meets Terry Gilliam. Wouldn't recommend it per-se. It's very odd.
