Stumbled upon this film on TV the other day, tuned in and couldn't stop watching:
Title: Ghostbusters (the 1984 original)
Genre: Comedy
Actors/Directors: Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramos & Rick Moranis. Directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Ackroyd and Ramos.
Why you should watch it... Absolutely hilarious - Murray, perfectly cast, has never been better and Weaver - well wow!  (Very fine actress too, as it happens.
And to think that it only got two Oscar nominations, neither of which won - I can only think the voters were all on drugs! |
Ghostbusters is unf**kwittable greatness.
It's one of the best films ever made. Shame the series as a whole is dogshit though now. 2 was okay, 2016 was ultra piss and the last one before this one was shit and dull. Not bothering with the new one. |  |

Man on fire
American gangster
Donnie Darko
The constant gardener
Law abiding citizen
The butterfly effect
A good year
Inception
A beautiful mind
To name but a few not already mentioned, also anything with Pacino even later stuff like Donnie Brasco and Carlito's Way |
Carlito's Way is fantastic, I love that film.
A shout out for Derailed, starring Clive Owen, Vincent Cassel and Jennifer Aniston. It's a gripping and unpredictable thriller, made in 2005, and is full of twists. |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

Not wishing to give the game away, but I thought the scenes where SH's mother visits and realises what's going on, and how disturbed she becomes by it and the obvious ignorance of her daughter, brilliant.
Such a clever film. |
Spoiler alert
It wasn't obvious that the wife knew what was going on over the wall and it was only when Sandra Hueller's character says to the maid "my husband can turn you to ash" (or something along those lines) that it is finally made clear she knows exactly what is going on.
That's what I meant when I said, how long does it take to become that comfortable with mass murder? When you realise she knows but is carrying on just like any other housewife, that's, as W4Hoop says, quite chilling. |  | | |

Good interview in the Observer with one of Hoss' daughters this week - very uncomfortable:

The kids want to go and see the new one - I know it'll be a bag of shite but we'll probably go this weekend anyway.
Sad truth is I'd prefer to see Kung Fu Panda 4... |  |

I've not seen the film, but the book makes it clear everyone knew what was going on, People were complaining about smell and water contamination for miles around, |  | | |

I may have missed it but I don't recall anyone saying anything like that. The directors clearly chose to go in a very different direction from the book and instead give the audience more a 'fly on the wall' style documentary. You hear the never ending background noise of machinery churning away 24/7 and see the occasional smoking chimney or steam from a train pulling into the camp all while the kids are playing in the garden or the wife is hanging out the washing, clearly oblivious.
I've just read this article and it appears the film only worked with the essence of the book and went in a very different direction. If you've read the book I think it's safe to say you can watch the film and see something very different.

I also watched The Holdovers on Sunday afternoon and would say that's exactly where it belongs. I nice, relatively harmless, lazy Sunday afternoon watch where you turn to the missus when the credits are rolling and say "that was good". [Post edited 27 Mar 2024 15:00]

One of Hoess’s early projects is to organise prisoner squads to exhume and burn hundreds of thousands of buried bodies because their putrescence is too overwhelming. It takes months, making the “problem” worse rather than better in the interim. Hence the crematoria. Apologies for the detail. | | | |

Has Jack Nicolson made a bad film? Cant really go wrong with picking one of his.
Chinatown is a great film a watched recently. |  |

The most recent film I saw at the cinema - Zone of Interest. It's a truly remarkable work and directed by Jonathan Glazer who directed the 2013 film, Under the Skin. |
Just went on sky store and they want £20 to download it! |  |

Watched the Roadhouse remake on Prime. Total garbage. Whoever sanctioned that wants shooting.
Connor McGreagor's acting makes Vinnie Jones look like Anthony Hopkins. Shyte! |  | | |

You can watch the film "Our Alexandria". Our Alexandria" offers a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit amidst societal upheaval. Through its richly drawn characters and captivating storytelling, the film provides a deeply moving and thought-provoking cinematic experience.

If you have Netflix, put an evening aside to watch Under Paris. The setup is this:
Summer 2024. Paris is hosting the World Triathlon Championships on the Seine for the first time. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, learns from Mika, a young environmental activist, that a large shark is swimming deep in the river. To avoid a bloodbath at the heart of the city, they have no choice but to join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander.
It's as bananas as you'd expect - a pure popcorn movie that builds to a comically gory 3rd act. | |

But, as someone on Twitter pointed out, missed a huge open goal by not calling it 'Shark de Triomphe'  | | | |

A currently apt film (well it was on Friday) The Longest Day. Richard Todd who took Pegasus Bridge in the film was actually part of the real life force that took the bridge in 1944.
As we are on a war footing, national service and three days supplies, another film I can return to is the 1992 German made Stalingrad. Filmed by the same people who made Das Boot. | | | |

For about the 112th time, I watched The Usual Suspects last night.
Why should you watch it? I doubt there are many on here who haven’t seen it anyway, but here goes - the amount of time you spend afterwards trying to figure it all out - what was true, what wasn’t, who was real, who wasnt?
It takes my breath away every time. [Post edited 9 Jun 2024 12:42]
