I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the pitch meeting for this; "this movie has been made twice. Amazingly, both were absolute classics, we can do better".

Watched Bullet Train. 7/10.

Silly fun movie, easy watch. Probably watch it again.

 

[BloodOmen]

Just watched Jeepers Creepers: Reborn

What a pile of shit.

I enjoyed the first 2 Jeepers Creepers movies, by the third one it'd died pretty much... this had an opportunity to see it return to the glory of the first 2 but nope, they missed the mark big time.

1/10

Wife wanted to watch this.

So I saw the trailer for The Woman King, and being a bit of a history buff I thought I'd read up about the story before heading off to the cinema. Fuck me, these "warrior women" are literally the bad guys IRL, going around grabbing slaves left right and centre and the whole movie has completely reversed the story as the British baddies were trying to stop them slaving.

We may have reached beyond Mel Gibson levels of Hollywood "history" movies.

You but for saying that, you are *checks notes* a filthy racist.

I've not seen it, but apparently they allude to the fact they're possibly the bad guys for about 2 seconds then it's forgotten about. When the Slave Trade is involved and the British come out looking like the good guys then you know there is a problem.

It's as good as both, and quite interesting to see it through a different (German) lens.

 

[DaGaffer]

Banshees of Inisherrin; I really enjoyed it, but my missus thought it was "brutal". Definitely a Marmite movie.

Have you watched it yet DaGaffer? Your comment made me laugh. Wonder if they've managed to score a hat trick .

I've not seen the originals but i enjoyed this(German language version obviously ). It was "nice" to see part of the war from the German perspective. That they had young men being sent to the slaughter too, who had friendships, aspirations etc. No doubt that's obvious anyway, but easy for me at least to forget that the other side are humans when watching these types of films.

Didn't expect to see Daniel Brühl turn up in the film either. Haven't seen him in anything apart from Inglorious Bastards.

A friend has recommended it. But it's an important point about soldiers.

Just don't say that about the Russians though. Or you'll get jumped on.

I was gonna post last night that it appears those missiles could actually be Ukrainian but then I figured it's not worth the hassle because I'll just get shouted at for loving Putin or some bollocks.

 

[Raven]

They could well be ground to air missiles gone wonky. But it's funny listening to Russia wet themselves over allegations about something they may well have not actually done. Very different tone compared to when they are denying shooting down passenger airlines or bombing hospitals and the like.

 

[SilverHood]

Watched Where the Crawdads Sing, quite liked it.
Also worth a watch is No Limit, a french diving movie. It's supposedly totally fictional, but it's a massive "F*CK You" to someone IRL.

Thanks for proving my point with your double-standard facepalm @Embattle

John Carpenter going to Executive Produce a reboot of Escape from New York

Not that I hold my breath for remakes these days, I do hope he doesn't bugger the legacy of the original up

Such a great film.

I get why they're doing it (money). But they really shouldn't bother.

It'll be Big Trouble in Little China next.

Despite how much fun that film is I can't see that ever being remade. Too much about it would be seen as "problematic" today.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Gwadien]

I hope they only cast female black dwarves to piss you all off.

 

[Raven]

They have cast the Rock, somehow.

That'd be par for the course for Big Trouble in Little China tbpfh.

He is a female black dwarf.

 

[Ormorof]

Big Trouble in Little China

A truck driver and his new friend, Jack Burton, unite on a new adventure

So Kevin Hart again?

 

[BloodOmen]

So Kevin Hart again?

God I hope not... its bad enough that The Rock is cast in it already. He claims to be a massive fan of the original, if thats true, he wont fuckig ruin it.

First film is fantastic. I'm hoping this become a John Wick surprise series.

Black Adam was, predictably, a pile of wank.
