Frances McDormand is a bit good, isn't she?

Oh you betcha, yeah. Her filmography is nuts good, I remember her showing up in 3 of my favourites I was allowed to watch when young (Raising Arizona, Mississippi Burning and Darkman).

I have booked a cinema ticket!! I am so happy.

Thought Sound of Metal was great. There was chat on here about Riz Ahmed being a knob head IRL which made the first third even more testing but I thought the journey was really well played out.

Congratulations! What are you going to see?

Raising Arizona is so good, not seen the others. Can't believe Fargo hasn't been mentioned yet.

I watched Scanners for the first time last night. Kind of saggy in the middle but worth sticking around for the absolutely mental ending.

Yeah, we were gonna watch it last night but I didn't think my partner would last until the end. The Brood is on Amazon now, not seen it so may give that a try instead

I've not seen The Brood either. Videodrome is still my favourite of his.

Judas and the Black Messiah!

Mitchell's Vs the machines is great stuff, my daughter's not even on her tablet.

Good film, sadly literally a bible for many conspiracy theorists.

Going through a Hitchcock season atm, ended up watching The Birds. I really enjoyed how it felt like a template for Romero and Carpenter and all the rest, had a real 'small town in lockdown and everyone blaming everyone else, the real monster is man!' sort of vibe but I also thought compared to the his films from the same period (North by North West, Psycho, Vertigo, et al) it was a bit one-note. Amazing effects though.

Watched all 14 hours of Tenet the other day. Might have been an interesting concept in there had the film-making been any good.
And I if could have heard a word they said (>>>>> middle-aged thread).

Pretty nuts and bolts but In search of the last actions heroes on Prime is a good watch for Action nerds. Pretty much every childhood favourite covered. @DethBeard your man Scott Adkins seems like a decent chap as does Shane Black who i'm a big fan of. Main oversight was Brandon Lee though, he only made a few films but i loved all of them when i was young.

Also, fuck actors doing 3 months of kung fu to make martial arts films, you all look like Roger Moore to me.

Watched Another Round at the weekend.

I can safely say it's the best film I r seen in some time..

Just finished watching Bone Tomahawk, it's on Amazon Prime atm.

I know it's been said many times on this thread but it is really fucking good.

Been meaning to watch it again. Thanks for the reminder / heads up that it's on Prime.

Oh, Dragged Across Concrete is also on Prime. That’ll be a suitable chaser.

Thanks for the tip, will check it out.

Funny enough I am watching a Scott Adkins flick tonight, Seized.
John Wick meets Commando (but not as good as either) SA kicking the living tar out of dozens of Mexicans.

Coming to a big screen near you soon

Typical that the first thing I thought was "Oooh...Angelina Jolie has a Cobra buckle on her belt" 😂

I just watched Terminal Velocity with Charlie Sheen. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a parody but it’s a pretty good one.

Army of the dead now on netflix.
