Let's have a films thread.

Watched The ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare over the weekend. I liked it, definitely one of the better free Prime movies.

Yeah Under Paris isn't like those films but the genre in general is full of terrible films like that, you'll be disappointed if you watch this though I think 

Nah I watched it when it came out( under Paris), the film was indeed pretty terrible and I did indeed thoroughly enjoy it.

Minions 4 is trash. Took the lad for his first trip to the cinema, not the best film to watch lol.

Just booked my tickets for Alien Romulus opening night at the local imax, bring it on.

As an old fashioned analogue sort of bloke I miss the mainstream channel film review shows like Film Night. Lot of movies come out that I know nothing about. By the way is it only old geezers that refer to going to the cinema as going to the pictures?

It can't be any worse than Prometheus or its sequel surely?

 

I sat laughing in the cinema while watching Prometheus.  The level of intelligence shown in that movie was completely non-existent.  The most brain-dead moment occurred when she ran away from the rolling ship.  Rather than run to the left or right, she continues to run the same path as the rolling ship. 

 

As for putting David in a bag, again, a ridiculous way to end the movie.

 

Romulus does look more Alien than anything we've seen for a while.  The trailer gives off Alien Isolation vibes and the alien itself isn't CGI generated which is promising in terms of realism.

Used to love moviedrone on BBC when growing up where they'd show a classic film every week with someone introducing it.

Fair enough.  This is a good watch 12 years on.

Saw the new deadpool film. Didn’t enjoy it and the only good thing for me was that Victor was working behind the bar- two pints ****!

Found a film on Youtube I had not seen since the 70s/80s but not found the sequel yet, basically really cheesy but fun, Flints theme was kinda cool too.

Not a bad list, Hammer horror movies, glad he mentioned the Quatermass trilogy.

My mum would let me stay up late back in the day to watch a lot of these.

Just got back from Alien Romulus. 6/10.

[urban.spaceman]

TRAP was decent.  Could have benefited from an extra TWIST at the end that would have elevated it. Hope they don’t do a sequel. 

[ithuriel]

Well, spent some of the money saved from getting a season ticket, maybe more entertaining, Godzilla is my Vards replacement.

Just checking to see if Guy Ritchie has taken out restraining orders on people involved in this.

Alex Cox introduced it, remember a fair few classics for that time and a fair few that would become classics like Terminator, he'd do a short intro detailing who directed, why the film was as it is etc.,

Looking up the guys name and brought back memories of this film, Vamp.

The union of Netflix. 2/10 utter dross.
