Aye the sequel to the descent is muck but the first one is brilliant.

Watched Jonathan Glazers first film Sexy Beast earlier. Great stuff altogether. Ben Kingsley is immense in it.

Didn't realise that was Jonathan Glazer. Great movie. Under The Skin is him as well. I thought that was total dogshit but it's highly regarded.

Wasnt sure about Under the Skin, although didnt mind it. Yeah I didnt cop that he did it until I looked into it and threw it on.

The brother was saying its a good example of what a good director can do to a script. Youd imagine it to be like any other Cockneg gangster thing otherwise.

The usual "producer owns the rights so fuck the creator".

That said more watchable than the shit Marshall's made in the last few years.

I should have known myself heading into it that there was no way it could match the first one but then again when I watched the first one I didn't know what to expect so it was genuinely suspenseful whereas the second one had to contend with the fact that we already knew what to expect and then work from there. Was it always on a hiding to nothing? Probably.

But then there's Aliens...

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Boyz n the Hood has aged far worse than Menace 2 Society.

[astfgyl]

Boyz n the hood was always the worse of the two but I haven't seen either in about 2 decades.

Watched Evolution on Netflix last night having never seen it before. I would call it an enjoyable shit film that I wouldn't ever watch again by choice.

At least Mulder finally got his hole off Scully. Good for him.

Actually does anyone remember that film with Danny Dyer and Scully off the X Files where he couldn't get the horn for her whenever he tried? Sounds more like a fever dream than a film but it really got made

[Born of Fire]

Watched the newest Mission Impossible on a flight yesterday. Don't think I've seen any of them since the second film. Grand enough to pass a few hours but I couldn't shake the feeling that Tom Cruise was wearing a Mission Impossible style mask of his own face.

Now that you say this about Sexy Beast, I saw someone recently claim something very similar about Under The Skin, that (like or love it in itself) it manages to capture the core essence of the novel it's based on (which I haven't read).

Even more than The Zone of Interest, I personally found Under The Skin to be a demanding watch: with the former, there's at least a familiarity with the perspectives involved, whereas Under The Skin asks you to adopt a wholly unknown, literally alien perspective, while at the same time providing you with almost nothing concrete to grasp in that regard. Definitely understand people not appreciating it. I still don't know what I think of it.

"Bringing Out The Dead" - high hopes that this was going to be a Scorsese classic that I had somehow missed. Can't say that I thought it was anything more than average.

It is visually stunning and the soundtrack is pretty great but I just thought it was a bit too similar in theme and tone to the greatest Scorsese/Schrader collaboration "Taxi Driver".

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Great old flick with John Wayne and James Stewart.

Dune 2. Saw it in Imax. Looked sppctacular and really enjoyed it. Have they started on the 3rd one?

Greek film called Black Stone on the plane, great

[jobrok1]

Came across a flick called 'One Shot' which as it turned out was filmed as a continuous one-shot take.
Cheap and cheerful action but cleverly paced and choreographed. I'm sure there were a few 'breaks' throughout but not that you'd notice, to be fair.

Starring Scott Adkins, the poor man's Jason Statham. The rest of the cast was full of nobody's and has-beens, so plenty of ropey acting, which I can overlook given the whole one-shot filming approach.


That flick then led me to it's sequel, 'One More Shit'. Picked up only hours after the first and continued the story.

Kinda looking forward to a third installment if there's one planned.

Freudian slip there?

Think it's already shot.

Atkins & Michael Jai White are great.
Two lads reared on Cannon Films,Golden Harvest,  and all the gold from the video stores. And legit fighters & stuntmen too.

They spotted that no one was making straight to video action properly and went for it.
