What film did you watch last night?

[Punkawallah]

Is Neeson not racist any more, or has he been forgiven?

No idea?
If I don’t worry about my plumber being racist, I’m certainly not going to worry about someone playing the fool on screen. I just want them to do the job for the price agreed.
In any event, I’m in no position to criticise - I’m happy to be ‘racist’. I like to hate the whole human race, equally - I find if you only hate one group, they get entitled.

No idea?

He was perceived to be racist over some comments he made while promoting Cold Pursuit a couplethree years ago and came close to being cancelled. I guess hes been forgiven if hes nabbed a starring role in a high profile summer release.

Oh.
Not his usual fare, anyway.

Amazon Women on the Moon (again)
Brilliant though some ideas work better than others and I suspect what I consider works better might differ from what others might think works better.

But excellent film.

Naked Gun. Good try but it has 3 fundamental issues: the original, 2 and a half, and 33 and a third are all funnier.

 

[Punkawallah]

Confirm or Deny, 1941, with a very young Roddy McDowell, and a bomb. Go-getting American newspaperman in 1940 London finds integrity.

 

[Animo]

Hell or High Water. Two brothers go on a bank robbery spree in Texas, pursued by Jeff Bridges as a grizzled old marshal. Totally missed this when it came out, despite it getting a few Oscar nominations. Well worth a look. 7/10.

 

[AndyRM]

Hysteria - 6/10

WIthout the stellar cast this would be absolutely terrible, and even then it veers wildly from childish tittering about sex to fairly heavyweight social and feminist commentary. So while I enjoyed it, it was just a bit all over the place.

Time Limit.
Tense b/w Korean war POW drama

Sisu. Finnish turbo-Rambo takes on the retreating Nazis after they discover his gold and pick a fight. Cue an hour and a half of uncommonly real-feeling ultraviolence, albeit with the occasional massive hilarious dollop of the literally unbelievable. Think Tarantino, but turned up to 11 - and better. An absolute belter of the genre, and now on Netflix. Incoming!

An absolute belter of the genre, and now on Netflix. Incoming!

I watched a few months back. Was almost believeable at first but then got a bit too outlandish. Worth a watch though.

“Bills. Big ones, please”. A nice polite man, I thought.

Believable? I must have missed that bit.

The first part of the film was of course far fetched (it's the movies after all) but made sense in a way but by the end it got a bit like he was indestructible.

City of Life and Death. Harrowing film about the Japanese rape of Nanking in 1938. Hard watching at times.
