Kiwivillan Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Quite enjoyed The Equalizer with Denzel. Was looking forward to The Equalizer 2 which I just watched. Wow what a hot mess. It's all over the place. Nonsensical script that feels more meaningless the longer the movie goes on. I don't think I'll see a worse movie in a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched both films for the first time about a month ago and feel exactly the same about them. Really good first film but horrible second film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Gran Torino (13 years old now! Wtf!) followed by The Great Outdoors. Two stone cold 10/10 films in complete contrast to each other. Great nights viewing on itv4 tonight. Great Outdoors makes me feel warm and nostalgic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidolon Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Raging Fire just came out and unless anything gets released posthumously is the last directorial outing of Benny Chan, it's just a perfectly executed Hong Kong action ride and one of the most fun movies I have seen in a long time. Donny Yen is pretty much the GOAT at these films and is amazing in this as well, story is a bit barebones but thats not really what you watch these movies for. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grillio is fantastic in the TV series Kingdom, well worth checking out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just finished watching Richard Jewell. Based on a true story about the 1996 Olympic Park bombing and the FBI focus on him. Directed by Clint Eastwood you know you're getting a solidly made film. Some really good performances from Kathy Bates and Paul Walter Hauser, supported by Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm. I'd recommend it. I may have had a tear or two. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Was in the mood for a Western last night so watched 'For a Few Dollars More' for the first time in forever. Just as awesome as it always was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted August 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) No Man Of God. Wow. Wow. Tense, disturbing, brilliant. Oscar for Bundy. The first half is like Manhunter the movie, the second is different but more 1-1 dialogue scenes getting more intense. The worst part is that it's really hard to get past how much Elijah Wood looks like Mark Crorigan. Edited August 27, 2021 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Free Guy was very entertaining. It is summery daft fun but pretty clever with the gags and some of the nods to gaming really did crack me up, plus there's a glorious - and brief - cameo towards the end too.

fightoffyour Posted August 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2021 Safety Not Guaranteed. Wow. Wow. It has aged very well. Touching and hilarious from one scene to the next, bouncing perfectly between characters and scenes to achieve that effect, all the while suspense building to the big conclusion - can he or can't he really? This film packs a hell of a lot of emotion and comedy into a 1 hour 20 running time that you don't see often these days. I've taken shits for longer that! Go and watch this movie, I implore you. It's a 10/10 for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
