Films

Den of Thieves - starring Gerard Butler and Fitty Cent, bit different to your normal cops n robbers, very good full on action scenes, like most films a few holes in the story, but really enjoyable and a good twist at the end that has me and my lad seeing it differently. Worth going to see.
 
2 hours in the new Blade Runner, and only 45 mins left. Mmm, hope it picks up speed a bit.

It doesn't.

Can't be worse than Phantom Thread. Two hours of my life I could have done something useful with.

I've not seen Phantom Thread but Blade Runner has got to be one of the worst films I've seen for a good long while. Maybe even worse than Dunkirk...

2 hours 63 mins run time. Run time? It didn't even break into a brief stroll.

So 3 hours 3 mins then? :D

Blade Runner 2049 was fantastic, imo. The pacing was perfect and in keeping with the first film. The atmosphere it created was breath-taking. If it doesn't win multiple awards for it's cinematography and soundtrack something is really wrong!

I'd second that. :thup: Thoroughly enjoyed it, didn't think there were that many plot holes, known plenty worse and like you, thought the twist was good.
 
King Arthur, the Guy Ritchie film. King Arthur in geezer form, cor Blimey. Really bad but with a pretty big budget I'd guess. In case anyone is tempted, don't be.

I love that film! Only for the fact it won me a bet and had my mate wear a saints shirt to work (he's a pompey fan).

He's a massive fan of the lead actor from Sons of Anarchy. He was adamant it would be the box office hit of 2017. I said it had no chance so bet that loser won the shot. I pointed out my missus job but he thought that her being a cinema manager meant nowt in regards to my knowledge of what movies would do well. Not sure it even made top 20 box office!
 
Pappas, did you have to suffer it? I reckon Guy Ritchie was in his local east end pub one Saturday night and asked who wanted to be in a film. A load of drunk hands went up and that was the cast sorted. Jude Law was presumably in to attempt some gravitas but that was a huge fail as well.

Your mate was mugged, ha ha.
 
Mine. Currently on Sky Movies. Nice 50 minute idea but 90 minute film is stretching it. Two marines on the run in a desert find a minefield. You begin to wonder near the end what is real and what is in his imagination.

Pretty good movie and well played, but, like you said, dragged out a little too long.

There's always plenty of folk, about Soho, who believe they have the magic formula for getting bums on seats...
If only...
