Films The Official bit-tech Movie Thread - What have you seen lately?

Is that an advert, or a training film, for Screwfix?

 

It can be whatever you want it to be I suppose

 

Agreed, it was too far fetched even for Marvel

That was probably my least enjoyable watch of the Marvel franchise TBH.

 

I've never watched it, it was just the Screwfix in the title.

In general, if it's a film and it's not old, I've probably not seen it, especially if it's american.

 

Machinist, screwfix was the only thing my brain could think of.

Don't judge me, the cat let me have 3 or 4 hours sleep last night. I can't be certain i'm actually awake

 

We are familiar with that problem. Sylvester jumps on the bed randomly through the night.

 

Ours looks very similar, well black and white , she just wouldn't stop this morning

 

I thought that film was well made and well written, but I really disliked the aesthetic. The dirty, grimy squalor of it. Everything is deliberately dressed and filmed to be repugnant, icky and nauseating, from the industrial accident, the freezer, Bale himself, etc. to the sets and locales and colour palette.

I understood why it was doing it, and it was very effective, but I didn't enjoy it. Even though it was a good film.

 

Perhaps 'enjoy' it is the wrong word?

Not sure, I know it wasn't enjoyable seeing Bale so malnourished - that can't have been a healthy role tp take.

But yeah, I was expecting nothing and got something so that pleased me.

 

21 Bridges 8/10 pretty decent film about nypds finest and 2 guys who try to steel drugs.

Angel has Fallen 6/10 its quite obvious this installment didn't have the same budget as the previous 2, still watchable and nick nolte is a awesome.

 

If you want to question Bale's sanity further, the film he starred in directly after The Machinist was Batman Begins, where he's ginormous. Neither are special effects, Bale is a looney that even Gary Oldman thinks gets a bit too commited to roles.

 

He was such a classic Batman as a result, though. No homo etc. but that scene in Begins where he's doing his morning pushups? Dayum.

He's a total unit in American Psycho too, but they play it for creeps. After 15 years I still can't decide if I like that film or not.

Unrelated. Has anyone here seen Three Billboards? Was thinking of getting it, but reviews swing hot and cold depending on who you ask.

 

Suicide Squad - The Avengers Didn't Shower/10

You know what, I actually enjoyed it. Gritty atmosphere, a bit of humour and a good soundtrack. A good film to half watch over a long lunch.

 

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw - Ryan Reynolds?/10

Not enough about cars, but plenty of action...

 

The Tick season two 8/10 finally got round to watching this really enjoyed it but miffed amazon will not be doing a season 3

 

Banshee Seasons 1,2 & 3: 8/10

Binge-watched an entire season this weekend (10 episodes) and I'm now halfway through season 3, and it's amazing. The action is fantastically choreographed and unrelenting, the interweaving story arcs are gripping, and there's real depth to the main characters. I reckon it's gotten better with each season (increasing budget maybe?) and I'm looking forward to getting into the fourth and final season soon.

 

Watched Upgrade on Friday, fantastic film, highly recomend it, very gory though.
Watched Spiderman Far From Home, as good as you expect
On the Last few episodes of Mad Men, such a fantastic TV show!

 

Eye see you. Hadn't seen it before (groan) but it was decent. Bit cheesy in places but yeah, overall a decent watch.

Blue Story. Been wanting to see this for ages. Good film.

 

Inhuman Resources 7/10 not the greatest series in the world but there somat oddly cool watching eric cantona headbutt people.

Scooby 7/10 pissed it wasn'tabout scooby and shaggys early years like the trailer made it out to be but a decent family fare with a sprinkle of wacky racers cahrectors

The Last Dance 9/10 im not a basketball fan but did follow the bulls in the early 90s and later when when NBA 24/7 aired. the eps shot back and forth from jordans last season in 98 to his earlier days.
