Sorry, I just read it was by Scorsese. Turns out he produced it.

And he (Scorsese) also provided the opening voice over.

We watched this last night and enjoyed it:

Watcher is absolutely crap
Army of Darkness is brilliant
Bodies bodies bodies is better than I thought
Rhyme or Die, a short, was OK
Deliverance is terrible

Original Deliverance or a remake?

Original Deliverance or a remake?

Oh just realised, it's The Deliverance, a new horror with Glenn Close, it's sooo bad.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Oh just realised, it's The Deliverance, a new horror with Glenn Close, it's sooo bad.

The original one is a great film.

The original one is a great film.

There isn't an original to THE Deliverance (Glenn Close).

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

There isn't an original to THE Deliverance (Glenn Close).

Older people know what I mean. 'Deliverance' then. As Deliverance was such a great film, I'm sure it's not lost on them to call it The Deliverance, to get extra revenue on the back of Deliverance.

Ah, OK. Didn't realise that's what you meant. Having said that, I don't think Deliverance would have had much added value to The Deliverance.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw El 47 (The 47 bus) earlier.Agit Prop for some but it's a pretty good watch and one to look out for when it gets subtitled in English (sometime around Xmas I imagine).Set in May 1978 (and some 20 years before) the action takes place in the Torre Baro arrea of Barna near the (civil war)bunkers (where our older daughter has a place in Guinardo.)and on the other side of Parque Guell and concerns the "kidnapping " of the 47 bus and its inaugeral journey to the Torre Baro barrio or district.

Watched The Postman with Kevin Costner for the umpteenth time. Never tire of it, great film.

Not seen that one. Can recommend No Way Out and Mr Brooks as Kevin Costner films worth watching.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Ridley Scott's Alien on BBC1 last night & in the early hours.First time I've ever seen it and I wasn't very impressed despite loving The Duellists & Blade Runner on release.Thought some of the eatly scenes echoed Kubrick's 2001 and good to see some strong female characters,especially Sigouney Weaver but that was about it.Guess I'm not much of a sci-fi fan unless we're talking Forbidden Planet or similar.

The first sequel Aliens is a much better film. I liked the prequels Prometheus & Covenant as well. Not seen Romulus yet. I think I am one of the very few people who liked the first Alien v Predator film

I saw her speaking about the film on the box.Certainly looks a good watch.(Edit saw she was in San Sebastian yesterdy ,picking up a gong)

Ungentlemanly Warfare. I will give it 5/10 for the first hour, which was all I watched.
Good cast and obviously lots of money spent; but poor script and story line less realistic than a Wonder Woman war story.

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Watched a very good film on C4 last night , kept me up to 1am !!!
The Last Duel director Ridley Scott starring Matt Damon
A true story about the last ever duel to the death in 1370s in France in four parts of 45 mins, three stories from the people involved and their side of the story and lastly the fight to the death
9.5/10

 

[RHB]

Two that we've just watched again, both very good films:

The Outfit - BBC iPlayer. Mark Rylance plays an English cutter who runs a tailor shop in Chicago, whose primary customers are a family of vicious gangsters.

The War Below - Netflix. A group of British miners are recruited to tunnel underneath no man's land and set bombs from below the German front in hopes of breaking the deadly stalemate.

 

[Napster]

Alice Sweet Alice - decent horror
the Martian - excellent sci fi
