Watched Starred Up the morning. Good, gritty English prison movie.

Watched John Wick 3 last night, mental. Book fu!

Yep, The Deer Hunter was deadly.  And I see they are making a new version of it next year with The Rock playing De Niro's part, James Corden as Walken and some sassy transgender comedian with a speech impediment playing Meryl Streep's part. Instead of the lads heading off to Nam they are going to stay at home and battle their white privilege. I think it'll be really hard hitting stuff.

I just watched Brawl In Cell Block 99. Fucking hell, I haven't seen facial destruction like that since Irreversible.

Check out 'Extraction' on Netflix.
It's up there with John Wick.

There's a one-shot scene which is absolutely epic.
Obviously not all done in one take but very well and cleverly done.
As a 'continuous' scene, is brilliant.


The camera work during the car chase is pure class.
I gave a shout at the telly at one point... "HOW THE FUCK DID THEY DO THAT?"   
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I've been watching a few irish movies recently.
Watched calvary last night. Very good now.
Watched another on woth Colm Meany called how Harry became a tree. I'd never heard of it before but it was pretty good as well.

I wasn't expecting much from it but watched half last night and the camera work really stands out in those bits. Really cool stuff

The fight scene in Extradition just before he rescues the child..... that was exhilarating to say the least. Using the bodies as weapons of mass destruction!
Also his forearms are massive! He purse serious time into his fitness regime.

Gave Extraction a go last night, thought the end battle was dragged out a bit too much, otherwise it was great. It was kind of a more modern, grittier Escape from New York

Ya, Extraction was decent. Some very cool scenes in fairness. Between that and Gangs of London, it's put me in the mood for the 2 The Raid movies.

Speaking of Irish movies, 'I went down' is a great watch or rewatch as most of us have a bit more free time.

Extremely quotable and Brendan Gleeson is tremendous in it.

Probably my favourite Irish film, I was delighted when it finally got a DVD release a few years back (even happier when a mate who worked in a charity shop told me they had it for €2).
