Watch The Cokeville Miracle.

It's fucked.

At the start there's some religious stuff, but then I didn't think much of it.

Then when the events happen, in the aftermath a kid goes 'There were other people there' 'What, teachers?!' 'No, Angels.'

TURNED IT OFF made me cringe so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard

Lets summarize Everest for anyone who didn't get it all.
People climb a mountain
The mountain may or may not be a molehill
There may be molehill people involved
People die
People lives
Based on a (somewhat) true story
The end.
Movies suck if you watch a dirty cam.

Also, by just watching the trailer of Everest, without knowing anything of the true story it portrays, I could tell that some main character would die, it was dead given (pun intended), only a question of who(m?). (fucking grammar)

Funnily enough someone recommended it to me yesterday, so I'm "obtaining" it right now :)

I had high hopes for that film but it bored me shitless tbh. The only part I liked was where they battled that German tank in the field.

I remember looking forward to The Monuments Men as well and being disappointed.

Hasn't been a proper good 'historical' war film in a very long time.

Saving Private Ryan possibly being the last.

Not counting Band of Brothers of course, because that's a series.

It got a bit of shit for historical accuracy iirc but The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was "good".

Days of Glory was good, so was Letters From Iwo Jima

I meant more like full on classic war films, I can't remember Days of Glory, Two Letters is kinda border line but yeah, a good film.

Boy in striped pijamas is more of a period drama

Days of Glory was the French one; very good apart from the guy with the very distracting missing arm.

Maybe not then! I'll have a look!

There's been some good films from Korea too.

Enjoyed The Descendants. George Clooney. My black humour.

Anyone watched The Gamechangers?

Watched spectre last night. Was under whelmed by the conclusion of the film. Bond movies the end is usually more epic. This felt a bit tame.

I can't work out if that looks awful or awesome. It's making my head hurt

Apart from a daft segment in Doom paying homage to the game, can't think of anything. Certainly not an entire film. Weird but might be fun.

Will be shit.

Although Sharlto Copley is pretty damn awesome in everything he is in.
