HongKongVillan Posted May 28 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28 Watched The Equalizer 3 over the weekend, just wanted some non critical thinking, fast moving actions from Denzel. It was pretty shit, the only worthy actions happened at the first 2mins of start and probably the restaurant scene at a push. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 21 hours ago, Marka Ragnos said: Finally got to see The Damned United last night. Lots of thoughts. Seems like the sort of film Guardian- and Indy-reading people who see some deeper meaning in sport -- people like me and you! -- might enjoy. Not sure if I really believed how Don Revie is portrayed, but I didn't really care. I love the scene where Don Revie picks up the telephone late at night in his frilly, flouncy, shaggy seventies bedroom. I reckon the other American who saw this film would have been more confused than me, but I ate it up from beginning to end, pretty much. I suspect the film is actually better than the novel, knowing what I know about it, but regardless, Michael Sheen's acting is transcendent, and the comparison probably doesn't matter. Sheen turns Brian Clough into a truly heartbreaking and human figure, someone fragile and selfish and quixotic and so inspiring. Loved it. Top film, and the book was decent, but I much preferred this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Provided-You-Dont-Kiss-Me-ebook/dp/B002RI9QYY - I'm not sure it's 100% factual, I think the author himself said it was 'a bit of story' based on factual events, but it's a fantastic read if you're after more. Back on films, watched Fire In Babylon the other night, story of West Indies cricket over the years. Decent, expected a little more. 7/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this one got better reviews I did not enjoy it half as much as the others, prefer the one's based around the clubs with all the usual suspects I enjoyed the one with Vinnie Jones in the most. Origins I think. Just watched "Boy Kills World" mindless violence cranked up to 11. Good fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, never liked that one, always preferred "Babyface" Specifically that sexy blonde being rogered to the music of Grange Hill. Unforgettable Edited June 1 by rjw63 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
