The Last Film You Watched….. IV

Von Richthofen and Brown

Ignore the acting and the historical accuracy (Roy Brown flying an SE.5a?!) and just watch the flying. It’s good for that alone.

Have finally seen Skyfall. Not that keen on Daniel Craig but enjoyed the film with Bardem as a marvellously coiffured blond villain and great to see Albert Finney as the old gamekeeper at the end.

John Wick
Keano Reeves as a pissed off hitman killing everyone.
Good `head shot` action.

Fright Night and Vamp

Two under-rated classic vampire flicks from the 1980s. Stuff this Lost Boys malarkey!!

And another. I did take my son to see the first film last century some time but haven’t watched any of the subsequent versions. Like a few million others I guess.

Star Wars – The Force Awakens

I must have been the only person on the planet who hadn’t seen this, so I borrowed the DVD off my mum.

No, there’s at least two of us. I’ve never seen a Star War film all the way through.

Hi All,
Last night I watched the Metallica film ‘Through The Never’ an excellent stage show interspersed with a story in the background, Starring:- Dane DeHaan,James Hetfield as himself,Lars Ulrich,Kirk Hammett,Robert Trujillo and Mackenzie Gray……….:cool:

As the rock band Metallica performs a roaring set for fans in a sold-out arena, a young roadie named Trip (Dane DeHaan) is sent on a mission to meet a disabled truck and retrieve a particular item. However, the routine task turns into a surreal odyssey when Trip’s van is hit by another vehicle and he finds himself up against a death-dealing horseman. As Trip flees through desolate streets, he has only his wits to help him avoid the deadly equestrian and deliver Metallica’s cargo.

Giant, man-eating worms threaten Kevin Bacon’s little desert town in America.

Brilliant fun!

I must have been the only person on the planet who hadn’t seen this, so I borrowed the DVD off my mum.

Yep, pretty bloody good!

Crossing point.

Hi All,
I watched last night a French with subtitles film ‘Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas’ available on BBCi till 04/05. A not to shabby film as the story was easy to follow in the form of a man done wrong takes revenge tale. Starring:- Mads Mickleson (Hannibal Tv Series),Delphine Chuillot,Bruno Ganz,Paul Bartel,Mélusine Mayance,David Bennent,David Kross,Denis Lavant,Sergi López,Amira Casar and Roxane Duran.

During the 16th century, horse dealer Michael Kohlhaas is taking his horses to market. As he passes through a local baron’s lands, the baron seizes two of his horses, even though the right to extract tolls has been abolished in the country. When Kohlhaas discovers that his loyal servant was attacked by the baron’s guard dogs, and that his horses have been injured and abused, he attempts to sue for monetary compensation, but his lawsuit is dismissed because the baron has a kinsman at court. Later, Kohlhaas’s wife dies from injuries suffered at the hands of the baron’s men. Kohlhaas leads a revolt to attack the Baron’s house and then to induce the authorities to administer satisfactory justice.

We were at the Mother in Law’s this afternoon. I was setting up the new TV we’d bought for her birthday,
and was flicking through the channels.

Well, imagine my surprise……..Reach For The Sky was on Film4. 🙂

Still an outstanding film from the Disney stable – scary to think this film is now 22 years old. Looks like it was made yesterday!

Batman

Forget all that Christopher Nolan stuff – the Tim Burton Batman is still the best!!

Willow Creek

Two amateur film-makers go out into the wilderness to look for evidence of Bigfoot. Pretty good, actually!

Hi All,
hampden98,
One of his best films in recent years I thought….:cool:

I watched ‘ The Town’ from channel 5 last night surprisingly good considering Ben Affleck not only Starred in but directed the movie……:cool:
Starring:- Ben Affleck,Rebecca Hall,Jon Hamm,Jeremy Renner,Blake Lively,Chris Cooper,Pete Postlethwaite,Slaine,Owen Burke,Titus Welliver,Dennis McLaughlin,
Brian Scannell Isaac Bordoy,Jack Neary,Edward O’Keefe, and Victor Garber.

Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) leads a band of ruthless bank robbers and has no real attachments except for James (Jeremy Renner), who — despite his dangerous temper — is like a brother. Everything changes for Doug when James briefly takes a hostage, bank employee Claire Keesey. Learning that she lives in the gang’s neighborhood, Doug seeks her out to discover what she knows, and he falls in love. As the romance deepens, he wants out of his criminal life, but that could threaten Claire.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

The last “good” Indy flick.

47 Ronin.
Keanu Reaves superfluous performance in a Jap Samurai make believe romp.

Hi All,
Charlie,
Yes I thoroughly enjoyed it available on SKY if you want to catch it….;)

I watched Trekkies 1 then 2 last night an amusing look into the lives of star Trek fans from around the world hosted by Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar off The Next Generation).
The 1st film from 1999 deals with the fans from the US the 2nd from 2004 deals with a few other country’s every now and then bouncing back again to the US. The end credit scenes are worth watching for a laugh as some looking back at the 1999 film and cringe…:D
If you like Star Trek in all it forms it’s worth watching to see if your just a fan of the show or an extremist as some of the fans featured take being a fan to the next level……;)
