The Film Thread

[playtheace]

Replicas. Stay clear of this one. Bloody stupid story line, wooden acting by Reeves as well as an utterly annoying character role as scientist Will Foster, who clones his family after a car crash. Just an utter load of saftness.

Lasted 20 minutes and then turned it off.... TOO ridiculous.
Loved Mid90's the film about kids, skateboards and broken homes.
The leading kids were fucking great actors.

Swimming With Men

An attempt to do a sort of Full Monty but with a synchronised swimming team.

Not sure why I chose this (well I do, I just fancied some light hearted comedy and saw it on Netflix), because it's just the most unoriginal, boring, 2 dimensional, tedious waste of 90 minutes I've seen in a while.

It fails to achieve anything. Utterly forgettable - don't bother with this.

I'm glad you've said this because we were doing the same thing tonight and considered watching this. Opted for The Party instead, which was pretty good. Quite short, simple story, bit of an arthouse play feel to it, but really well acted and rather amusing all in all

Discussion point - can you think of a film that is shit, but has a really awesome soundtrack?

 

[lemonjelly]

Judgement Night.

 

[Langers]

Never heard of it!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It is a shit movie but the soundtrack is outstanding

Slayer & Ice T is just one highlight.
Living Colour & Run DMC
Cypress Hill & Sonic Youth
Faith No More & Boo-Yaa Tribe
Helmet & House of Pain
BioHazard & somebody I can't remember

It's a epic CD. I have it somewhere.

 

[Tredman]

Definitely Judgement Night - also still have the CD,

This is great:

My 26 year old daughter has asked me if I'll go with her to see the Stan and Ollie movie.

I have raised her so well

Good film indeed. I've just watched it at the cinema this afternoon.

Never heard of it!

film is proper dogshit, but the sountrack is amazing. the biohazard and onyx track, and also paddy mentions faith no more and boo yah tribe. superb collection of tunes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_Night_(film)

Leonard Klady of Variety wrote: "The most chilling aspect of the urban thriller "Judgment Night" is how infinitely superior its craft is to its art. This is an exceedingly well directed, cleverly filmed and edited, tension-filled affair. It is also a wholly preposterous, muddled, paranoid’s view of the inner-city nightmare where the slightest misstep is sure to have a fateful result."[5] Richard Harrington of the Washington Post felt the movie was "regrettably familiar fare" and stated "The filmmakers have made a big deal of a soundtrack that features 11 collaborations between rappers and rockers (...), but their casting consciousness is less adventurous

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I absolutely love the Slayer and Ice T track "Disorder".

Awesome mash up of 3 tracks by the Exploited - Disorder, UK '82, and War.

IT'S BRILLIANT.

Maximum Overdrive. Abysmal film based on a Stephen King book.

ACDC soundtrack including Sink the Pink. It's awesome.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The Who Made Who album is a soundtrack isn't it?

 

[Johnny75]

It is.

 

[PPB]

If you are stuck for a good film to watch, look no further than First Reformed. Excellent.

 

[Langers]

Me and the better half watched Get Him to the Greek on Sunday night, which I'd never seen before.

I can't abide Russell Brand but I thought this was really funny. Puerile, certainly - but it did make me laugh.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's a decent watch.

Lars Ulrich CANNOT act though.

 

[Langers]

When she said 'Lars Ulrich' I thought she was taking the piss, until he turned around. Made me chuckle.

 

[Paul]

I liked it but I tolerate Russel brand rather than like him !

The Brand New Testament on Amazon Prime. Great little Belgium film. God is alive and well and living in Brussels. He's a bored unpleasant sleazeball who spends his days creating new annoyances for his toy humans. His daughter sets out to make the world a better place. Very funny and sweet.
