Bedford Roughyed Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 19 hours ago, Wiltshire Rhino said: Hope it lives up to the expectations The reviews so far seem to say its very much worth a watch. Interested to see how well it goes down with comic book fans rather than general reviewers. I also hope JoJo Rabbit lives up to the trailer too. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyscoot Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 63 for me. Yes I do need to get out more. There Will Be Blood is phenomenal but fully expected Mulholland Drive to be at #1 since Peter Bradshaw (of The Guardian) called it the first masterpiece of this century on release.

I think remakes, poor scripts and general subject matter of films is on the disappointing end of what I'm looking for, at present.

ivans82 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Always well behind with my films , but watched the so called masterpiece "There will be blood " on Paramount the other night .Too long , dull , slow moving , not a particular exciting or interesting storyline , sombre and got tired of Daniel Day Lewis drawling his way along (He won an oscar for this film ).I can appreciate the "arty" way it was filmed and the drab use of little colour to make it look early 1900 s , but i`m afraid it failed to hook me in .

Bleep1673 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Blooming ITV, last night they had the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost film "Paul" on ITV2, fun film, ITV4 though had "High Plains Drifter" on at the same time, spent two hours switching channels watching bits of both.

All of those, bar Django (unless you mean the 60s Franco Nero one) were released before 2000 so wouldn't be considered in a list for best films of the century. I watched The Farewell over the weekend. Not for everyone since it's mostly subtitled (an American girl goes to China) but I thought it was fantastic. Probably my favourite film of 2019.

JohnM Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 This morning, in our hotel room in Mende, France. Shaun the Sheep... In French. Well, when I say in French, a sort of silent movie in French, plus one or two things in French where that could be done: restaurant menu, the odd signpost. Could not change the shop front that said Fish and Chips, or everyone driving on the left.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
