Last Film You Watched


Excalibur is brilliant. Should remake it.

aye...so much epic in one film...love Merlin in it. Not sure who'd play the roles now, and who'd direct...would need to be somewhat offbeat to match the tone of the original. Paul Thomas Anderson to direct with Tom Hardy as Arthur and Gary Oldman as Merlin?


Yep, the majority of the 80's films I can relate back to having a crush on someone, Darryl Hannah in Splash, Kim Cattrall in Mannequin, the woman that Tom Hanks knobs in BIG, Mr Miyagi in Karate Kid

Grace Jones in Vamp.
 

Yes definitely hardy and oldman...good thinking...loads of potential there

some more decent 80's films from leftfield:

Gothic (surreal horror about the night Mary Shelley thought up the Frankenstein's Monster story)
Dead Calm (psycho thriller with a pre-annoying Nicole Kidman)
Paperhouse (trigger-sensitive horror...bit like Babadook)
Name of the Rose (Sean Connery's best film?)
Flight of Dragons (science vs magic animation fantasy)
Enemy Mine (sci-fi version of Lost in the Pacific)
The Quiet Earth (man wakes up...everyone's gone...twilight zone stuff)
After Hours (Scorsese sleeper...weird and fun)
D.A.R.Y.L (the right kind of sentimentality...not sugary like A.I.)
Top Secret (funny spy spoof with Val Kilmer)
Tootsie (Dustin Hoffmann in the original and best Mrs Doubtfire)
Clash of the Titans (daft but magic too)
Altered States (cerebral sci-fi about regression)
Popeye (tunes and bonkers fun)
 
The Ruins...plant horror caper with familiar formula...6/10 worth a watch if you're in the mood, tho' the darkest-skinned one getting offed first is really getting tiring in these films.
 
The Green Inferno - Eli Roth's new one, a pretty good watch but some of the script was absolutely ridiculous. The characters were just like nobody on this planet. Still, good horror flick from the guy who done hostel, with lots of gore and nods to Cannibal Holocaust.
 

2 trips to the cinema this week....

Spectre....decent watch, but never reaches the heights of Skyfall....bit disappointed with Waltz' character...no real suspence in the movie.

Sicario.....dark, intense film, great cast, well worth a watch. Drags a bit at times, but always grabs your interest again...Love Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin is his usual self, and Del Toro is proper bad ass, great showing from him...
