Hugh Grant was very good in A Very English Scandal (mini-series) if you haven't seen it.

Watched the Gentlemen at the weekend, thought it was very good, very funny in parts. Nothing new from a Guy Richie film but it worked for me.I think Huw Grant is a prick but he is a very good actor.

"Alfs - I have no idea what Coenesque means ffs, but yea could have been better and most films are too long these days, I find myself watching most in two sits now."

As in the Coen brothers.  Fargo etc.

 

 

Yea of course lol, I even saw Fargo mentioned below. I started The Instigators, fuck me it's a bit shit innit.

"New Daniel Craig film looks ''interesting'' - Queer is an 2024 historical romance drama film directed by Luca Guadagnino from a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes, based on the 1985 novel by William S. Burroughs. Set in 1940s Mexico City, the film follows an outcast American expat who becomes infatuated with a younger man."

[Alfs]

"Manuel, not a bad shout for Greedy People but would have been better if it lost twenty minutes.. It tried to be Coenesque but missed the target somewhat. I'll give it a 6/10."

[Swiss.]

Percy yes from 1998. Do people not fucking understand the point of this thread is on contemporary films. Start a general Films thread if you want.

[Percy Dalton]

Watched The Thin Red Line bloody good war film 2hrs 50mins. Saw it in 2 parts.

[Swiss.]

Alfs is judging a movie from the first 5 mins. Actually the first 5 mins is pretty much the worse bit of Duchess.

[Manuel]

Watched Greedy People and thought it was pretty good.

[Council Scum]

"Watched Trap, not bad Sunday evening watching, but nothing more."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Watched Alien Romulus last night and agree with others below. Entertaining but just a less impressive repackage of the same thing, that was too long and offered only a slight addition to the original story. Also watched Greedy People the day before which was decent, but a poor mans Fargo."

[Alfs]

"I lasted 5 minutes watching Duchess. Truly terrible. But then found a gem of a film called 'Tag' on Amazon. Very funny and also poignant, about why we shouldn't lose our inner child. A delightful watch."

Loved Duchess. A must watch. Always been a fan of Neil Marshall’s work. His misus Charlotte Kirk has very fit body but facial she’s looks like a tranny. Sean Pertwee as usual is great.

Lee Trundle 1:09 Tue Aug 13 where can i watch 3.10 to yuma?

"Alfs - That looks like a good yarn. Finally got around to At Close Range, the 80's really were a different time, and Walken's tosh looked ridiculous. Thought it was so so, which is probably why I hadn't rushed to see it before."

[Alfs]

"Just watched and enjoyed The Instigators. Not a classic but an entertaining 100 minutes, and good to see Toby Jones stealing scenes from Matt Damon."

[Cheezey Bell-End]

It was clever how they recreatedthe Ian Holm character. But the young English guys ruined it for me. The black guy talking like Chris Eubank was very good.

[Swiss.]

RB shorty Totally agree. Not been a better Alien film since 2 . I think Romulus was back to basics. And was almost an amalgamation of 1 and 2. I enjoyed it but for how long can you re hash the same story ?

[Bungo]

"Cheezey Bell-End 4:26 Mon Aug 19 I'm sure I'll end up watching it on a plane or something, but I cannot imagine what they could do with this franchise now that hasn't been done many times before?"
