Clearly TAG Heuer wasted their product placement budget then.Originally Posted by Tokyo Tokei
Saw some interesting ones in the past few days:
A Simple Plan (1998), directed by Sam Raimi - a minor masterpiece
Carnage (2011), directed by Roman Polanski - amusing and very believable behaviour of four "adults"
Heist (2001), directed by David Mamet - with an evil Danny DeVito and a dependable Gene Hackman
and Haywire (2011), directed by Steven Soderbergh; I am now a little smitten by martial arts star Gina Carano.
mmmm hhhmmm
I'm a little smitten with her breasts actually....
Of course, smitten with - thanks. She's got a great figure, but I'm also glad her lovely face has (so far) survived the blows and kicks she must have received in her MMA career.

Spy is good for an action comedy!

Sicario, is well worth a watch, thoroughly enjoyed that one
Great film.
Billy Bob Thornton was brilliant.
Cheers,
Neil.
Agreed.Great film.
Billy Bob Thornton was brilliant.
Today on BBC1, 23.40 hours (or 11.40 PM)!
Excellent film. Shows how you can tell a story in under 90 minutes if you cut away the fat.
And the way the films builds and maintains suspense is excellent—just walking down the street becomes a nail-biting affair.
Just saw Danish film,A War ,really good but in the heavy category.
Watched "The Hitcher" (again) from 1986 tonight. Rutger Hauer was more evil than he was as Roy Batty in "Blade Runner!"
+1 - enjoyed it tooSicario, is well worth a watch, thoroughly enjoyed that one

So true !A close friend ( not in the industry ) said she thought of me when she watched this film, but I admit I hadn't seen it until now. It just popped up on Netflix so I spent 3 enjoyable hours in the mayhem, indulgence and excess of The Wolf of Wall Street.
DiCaprio wears a gold GMT Master, but you won't notice him or his watch in any scene featuring Margot Robbie.

Lincoln lawyer,I think it's a john Grisham book really enjoyed it
Nope, Michael Connelly - Mickey Haller features in several books.
I saw The Big Short on the Monday. A docupic about the financial collapse of the world in 2008. I work in banking and I thoroughly enjoyed the film, it made a dull (but interesting to me) subject really enjoyable. SWMBO didn't understand much of the phraseology, but really liked the film.
I thought Christian Bale put in a superb performance.
It's well worth a watch.
The Revenant was a superb experience. An easy 10/10 for me and highly recommended.
Each to their own. Maybe don't have 8 pints before next time......
I agree. Visually stunning.

Heist (2001), directed by David Mamet - with an evil Danny DeVito and a dependable Gene Hackman
really good film will search this out tonight
3096 days. A film about the kidnap of Natascha Kampusch who was held captive for the amount of days of the film name.
Very sad and dark at times. Some dark stories to read up on post film too.
I saw Kingsman and Antman in the last couple of days, both much better than I thought they would be
Went to Sherpa,about guess what ? ,well Sherpas.Excellent documentary ,happened to coincide with tragic ice Avalanche which killed 16 people.
Revenant - watched this last night and really enjoyed it.
The Big Short - Watched this the other night. I thought it was a great film showing the build up and downfall of the US housing market , bank crashes etc. It has a lot of big names in the cast.
Margin Call - I tell everyone about this movie. I watched this a few years ago. Again its about the financial crash in the US. This was released in 2011 so was way ahead of the game compared to "The Big Short". This movie has a big cast featuring Spacey, Bettany, Irons , Tucci... to name but a few.
Watch shallow grave last night ,only second time I've seen it ,the first was when it came out,forgot how good it was
Good ones this week:
Fast and Furious 6 - Actually very good! They've sort of hit their stride with these now, plus the Israeli girl is stunning and there's a Jensen Interceptor in it. It has caused me to realise something though - the F&F movies are not released in chronological order. Chronologically, they go 1,2,4,5,6,3,7. Who'd-a-thunk-it.
Mission Impossible Rogue Nation - As good as Ghost Protocol but still not a patch on MI:2. Simon Pegg wears the latest T-Touch Expert Solar and a GW-A1100.
Valley Uprising - documentary/movie on the rise of climbing in the Yosemite National park. Excellent but of no interest to non-climbers really.
The Revenant
Outstanding performances all around, but go well wrapped up as you will feel cold just watching it!!
Headhunters....
Watched Everest last night - flippin' brilliant!
Found myself willing the climbers on.
Also made me realise that it's an amazingly selfish pursuit - especially when you look at the sucess rates.
I also enjoyed 'Summit' on Netflix, documentarising a similarly ill-fated expedition to K2. It turns out Everest is the relatively easy mountain. K2 is a killer.
Is that still on UK Netflix? I do like a good documentary feature!
We have similar tastes!
1) (Revenant) saw it last night - LOVED IT!
2) (Big Short) read the book few years ago & really, really enjoyed it, so am looking forwards to the film despite hearing it's not so good
3) (Margin Call) one of my favourite films - it's no Casablanca, but it's one of the few DVDs that I come back to and watch every 4-6 months or so. Better than Wall Street, I think.
Glad to hear it, I recorded it.
Probably give it a look over the weekend.
Cheers,
Neil.
Werner Herzog's 1979 "Nosferatu: The Vampyre"
Good call on Herzog's Nosferatu. Bruno Ganz plays a good part too.
I've had the BFI Herzog collection sat on my shelf for over a year - finally cracked it open yesterday to watch Nosferatu... now which next??!
The sting was on the box yesterday, I forgot what a great film it was.

Cheers, just started watching this.
Watched this a couple of evenings ago and absolutely loved it ( and Margot Robbie)
Favourite scene has to be the drive back from the country club in the white Lamborghini after the ludes kick in, amazing how he made it unscathed!

Finally got round to watching this...
Brilliant
Watched spectre last night. Was ok. Not great though
I quite enjoyed Kasper Häuser.
One of those movies everyone should see.
I thought it was pretty boring - Mission Impossible 5 was a better bond film.
Watched 'it Follows'. Pretty poor. Gonna watch babadook later and hope that's better.
The original was better,but this is enjoyable.
Watched margin call yesterday. Very good, thank you for the advice BTW.
Stroszek is my favourite,but then he made so many great films.
I watched the NWA movie "straight outta Compton" last night.
I was gripped, even though I knew 95% of the story as I was a teenager when they took the world by storm in 1989-1992!
Those guys were instrumental in so many acts making records....
The guys playing the rappers were great but both the Eric wright actor and ice cubes son (playing ice cube) were amazing, and Paul Giamatti as they're manager was good too.
Watched The Big Short over the weekend, loved it. Hateful Eight was good too, as already mentioned.
