Movie recommendations

Saw the new Dwayne Johnson aka "The Rock" movie called Snitch. Well I have to say, he really put in a stellar performance in this movie, shocked by the depth and layers of both the script and characters. What I really enjoyed.........ah, I can't do it....absolute bollix!

[The Iceman]

So I watched the new fast and furious installment and I need some clarification.
At the end during the credits they showed the Asian guy getting blown up in Tokyo. This was a cut out from Fast and the Furuous Tokyo Drift. So are they saying that film was supposedly after all the other ones or did they seriously just rip off that scene and think nobody would notice??
I've enjoyed them but they are getting a bit much.....

Watched After Earth this week too. Wasn't fussed. 5:10. Expected more.

That's exactly what they're saying. Did you not cop when he died in the 3rd film and then turned up in the next one?

Flight - very good.

The Iceman - thought it was very good. Michael Shannon was excellent and am looking forward to seeing him in Man of Steel.

Thanks for that. Read the book and was wondering how film would pan out. Think RK's mother was Irish born.
According to the book he was some "operator". Did the film mention the brother?

Brief appearance of one brother. I hadn't read book and new nothing of the story but read up on him afterwards on Wiki. Film leaves a good bit out by the sound of it. Enjoyable nonetheless.

Do not go and see The Purge, total and utter shite!! That is all!!

I don't know if it's been mentioned here before, but I watched Les Diaboliques last night. (French, 1955, B&W, subtitled, directed by H.G. Clouzot, who directed The Wages Of Fear). Highly recommended.  I hadn't heard of it before, but apparently it's widely regarded as a classic psychological thriller.

It's pretty much like a Hitchcock thriller. In fact, Hitchcock was allegedly beaten to the signing of the rights to it by half an hour.

Don't give up on it - after twenty minutes, I was going to abandon it, but as it went on the plot became fascinating. And you can't watch it without being convinced that Peter Falk stole his Columbo persona from the detective in this, though it, in turn, is said to be based on the detective in Crime and Punishment.

Anyway – a very enjoyable couple of hours.
