The Lost Boys currently on BBC1 - so very good

I just watched Riders of Justice...enjoyed every minute of it!

The Tomorrow War - good take your mind off things action movie, great effects, overdoes the schmaltz. Better than I was expecting.

The Green Butchers....so good!

In a similar vein https://youtu.be/AvhgG9ee9Aw

- are there any others with gyrating Jason?

^ So many lovely memories that will stay with me forever... Gold!

Surely not the last 5 minutes? Is it contractual for Mads Mikkelsen to have narrative-tainting schmaltz at the end of all his films?

^^^ Coincidentally the architecture of that reminds me of the Bierpinsel tower, Berlin. The Police headquarters of Dogs of Berlin.

I watched this last night, really really good. Laurence Fishburn is pretty underrated I reckon, great performance. Jeff Goldblum wasn't at his best though. Excellent cinematography too.

Pusher is on prime
Don’t know how I missed this first time round…so good

Yep, all three. In China They Eat Dogs is another one, on that wave of movies.

Pusher 2 doesn’t seem to be up though :(

It is Berlin - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Clock_(Alexanderplatz)

Yes, I know. Thanks for the World Clock though. 👍

and don't forget this west coast banger off the soundtrack

A prophet, great movie for the boys. Lots of nice faces, if you like crime movies.

What's everyone's favourite hangover film? Asking for a mate....

For all its flaws I always found Garden State a pretty good one to sit in the dark and wallow around in feeling a bit mopey while my body tries to resolve the many various chemical imbalances I've forced upon it.

Interesting look at (how shit) the late 90s was

A great movie about heroin, a raw and crushing portrait of the life of addicts. The harsh but void narrative mirrors a community of homeless and their life, giving you a real feel of it.
It won’t leave any space for your own imagination, the anxiousness of the characters is the main feeling that will make you feel trapped in. It’s only about the diacetylmorphine.

I remember watching that a good few years after it came out - probably '98 - and thinking "Why isn't this guy bigger than Will Smith? Or even as big as, getting the same level of attention?".

I watched "Leaving Las Vegas" after a bit of a bender.

I don't recommend it.

Ha ha, I think I'd struggle with that film on a good day.
Ended up watching Project X (shit Superbad knockoff, apparently based on a true story of a teenager throwing a party that got wildly out of control and ended in a riot.)
Also watched The Mitchell's Vs The Machines. I fell asleep for a huge chunk of it (a reflection on me, not the film) but it seemed quite fun.

I watched The Mummy Returns last night as homework for We Hate Movies. A couple of fun scenes but mostly absolute dogshit. I remember seeing it in the cinema, aged 11 and thinking it was amazing. The Rock as a a massive scorpion, using the finest CGI that 2001 had to offer was pretty fun though.

This is a great film, not much fun though. The Safdies can do no wrong.
