I have recently watched Upgrade, starring the bloke that looks like Tom Hardy but isn’t. See also Prometheus.

Despite the fact it can best be described as Knight Rider in a man also borrowing heavily from Robocop, it’s quite a smart film.

I keep asking people what films to watch on a Saturday, keep forgetting this thread. I’m inclined to trust most of your recommendations, although tonight is rugby league finals, so maybe tomorrow. I suppose its etiquette to search, but Get Out, obviously almost perfect for a horror and The Silent House was OK.

Also Bad Lieutenant, New Orleans was pretty good, made a few years back-Nicholas Cage being Nicholas Cage. Bit more nuanced than the Harvey Keitel one, assuming they’re related (films, not actors).

ā€œGet Outā€ is awesome. If you like Horror films then ā€œHeredityā€ is really great ā€œvvitchā€ also (yes it’s spelled like that, olde english or something) The Babadook. ā€œIt Followsā€

Peter Bradshaw has lost the plot of late. I’m kinda biased, I love the Coen Bros, they have also gone on record as making ā€œOne for us and One to make moneyā€ as a way of funding their films. ā€œHudsucker Proxyā€ was their big budget mainstream comedy, It lost a huge amount of money and they never really recovered.

Me and Mrs Fatso watched The Wailing tonight. It’s on Netflix. It’s pretty long at 2 and a half hours and it’s subtitled (Korean film). It’s described as a horror but it’s actually more of a mystery. Me and Mrs Fatso are still discussing it because it’s a bit confusing (I’ll using alcohol as my excuse) . It’s good…lots of suspense and twists and turns. Could do with being half hour shorter but good nonetheless.

I haven’t seen that one mate, If you and Mrs Fatso are interested an a proper ā€œhorror movieā€ then check out ā€œHeredityā€, low budget, old school psychological scares. Toni Colette is just brilliant. For the first 2 thirds it’s just the best horror film and without spoiling the plot there’s an event and after seems the writer lost things

The Commuter…

Don’t, just don’t…

I intend to binge-watch all these Liam Neeson action-dad films one day, just to find out why he keeps making the same film over and over again…

Just watched ā€˜The Blind Side’ again, nice true story that doesn’t tax your brain too much and gives you the warm fuzzy tingles, one of Sandra Bullocks’ best.

I find Fentalyn does the same thing :smiley:

I’m sure it does, just with less Oscars :lou_wink_2:

I was being flippant as usual. She did win on Oscar

I hadn’t heard too much about this film beforehand, but it’s really good. It’s from the director of Winter’s Bone. Probably the best thing ive seen this year.
