Movie recommendations

[johnneycool]

Watched a few movies in the last couple of months:

Sing Street: excellent 8.5/10

Bourne: disappointed tbh. Decent enough action @ times, watery story line. The camera work was far too fecking jumpy (if that makes sense) 6/10

Tarzan: enjoyable 7/10

Skiptrace: Jackie Chan / Johnny Knoxsville. Passed an hour and a half. Good action and funny in parts 6.5/10

Popstar. Andy Samberg. Absolute dung. Switched off after 30 mins. 0/10

Grimsby: see above. 0/10

Bastille Day. Big Idris Elba / Robb Stark. Good action flick 7/10

Nymph0maniac 2: had a quick flick, meh 

Of what?

See that Sing Street getting nothing but positive vibes here. Thought it was unoriginal & pish tbh.

It's only just been released. You'll likely have to wait a bit for a DVD quality copy.

Watched to kill a mockingbird for the first time .. Thought it was slow to start with but v good film.

Anyone read the book at school? Why do the children call him attiticus? Was googling for answer but there's a broad variation of explanations

Watched the new Woody Allen on cafe society . It was ok, but would not have casted Kristen Stewart, lost serious weight, v gaunt looking..

Seen the trailer for passengers , looks like it could b v good..

I did it for either my Junior Cert or Leaving Cert can't remember which. Loved the book and the film.
Must read it again actually.

Why didn't they call him father or dad etc ?

Watched Hell or High Water at the weekend. Old fashioned character driven 1970s style bank heist movie. Enjoyed it . 8/10.

Jeff Bridges has aged something else.

Ask him yourself: Atticus_Finch

Also... bit harsh calling him at-titicus.

Lol...

Have any of you south of Ireland cinema goings seen The young offenders? Based in cork set around the time of the big cocaine haul of the coast of cork...

It's getting great reviews , unfortunately not showing in the north .. But they might be waiting to see how it does down south before redistribution

I guess it was because Atticus was his own unique man in every aspect, not just in respect to his views on law and justice but also with parenting and possibly in a stifling environment, the first name basis was to encourage something different in the children.

Everest - good watch. Kept me interested for the full length of it

[Longshanks]

Watched Hell or high water lastnight, could not reccomend it enough. Some great dialogue and Jeff Bridges on great form. Ben Foster plays the slightly crazy brother well too.

[Hardy]

Just watched The Siege Of Jadotville on Netflix. Highly recommended. I would be very interested in the history anyway, but this told the story very well (in a Hollywood kind of way OK) and explained the political background well too. 8/10.
