This has somehow passed me by, what a film.

A young solider ( Jack O’Connell ) is left behind by his troop, during a riot in Derry. The film follows his fight to stay alive in the Provo part of Derry.

The film doesn’t take sides, they’re all equally as self serving and brutal as each other.

O’Connell, as usual is standout.

Superb performances all round in that - Richard Dormer, Sean Harris and Barry Keoghan is especially good as always.

The lad who plays the Protestant kid steals the show though! Funny when he squares up to the big fella and gives it the "D'you know who my Uncle is?" stuff.

Just finished moneyball decent film don’t understand why it got so much hype though

Weirdly makes me think that their concept is similar to Everton’s summer transfer strategy trying to build a good team on a low budget

It’s alright. Much prefer The Big Short as an adaptation of a Michael Lewis book.

Watched the matrix for the first time. For years I always wondered what it was all about and what the matrix is. It’s an interesting concept took me a while to understand what was actually happening. I note the matrix 4 is out in December so gonna try and watch 2 and 3 tonight and tomorrow. The oracle thing is a bit weird. Heard some big names turned down the role of neo like leonardo di caprio.

Haha to be honest its nostalgia thing for people of a certain age, besides there are a lot of people who dont even own physical copies of films, just watch on stream sand download, which is poor really, missing out on all the art.
I've got loads of old tapes, including plenty of NTSC tapes I cant even play, lots of 70s black exploitation films and 50s sci fi, there in these great card sleeves, look ace on a shelf!

I remember when dvds came out, the difference was immense... 'you don't have to rewind them?!?

Will Smith turned it down to do Wild Wild West which must be one of the worst decisions in Hollywood. Not that it really affected his career though

Last week I caught up with a couple of things I'd been looking forward to for a while- the first was Titane, from the director of Raw, the cannibal film from a few years back. I really enjoyed it - it's completely demented, but great fun - although I was quite surprised it won the top prize at Cannes. Will definitely try to see it again at some point. The other was the new Paul Verhoeven film, Benedetta. It's basically OK - nothing special, and Verhoeven's made far better films.

Evangelion: 3.0+1.01 Thrice Upon A Time

End of an era, but I think it ends well. As wonderfully bizarre as the original ending to the series was all those years ago. Even more so, in fact. But I feel NGE has finally got the complete ending that rounds things off that its always needed.
Don't watch any of the movies unless you've seen the original series. And don't watch at all if you aren't looking for complete fantasy action nonsense.

Interesting. Didn’t know that.
Imagine he would have been great as Neo

Countless thousands of VHS movies never made it to a DVD-release, and usually if there was never a DVD-release then it never found its way to online-streaming, so the only way to watch them would be to have it on tape on a VHS-player, and no good connecting the player to a modern HD-TV, it will look unwatchable. You need an old-school telly.

Red Letter Media also have a proud collection, never heard of the vast majority of films they have on tape:
