Snowpiercer
To clarify, the movie not the TV series
In a nut shell, who green-lights this kind of utter bollocks?!

The Chris Evans one? I quite enjoyed it. The carriage assault in the dark sequence was very well done.DaveE wrote: Fri Sep 05, 2025 9:40 pm Snowpiercer

Re: The Movie Thread
That's the one, thought it was absolute twaddle
Re: The Movie Thread
I love it, Bong Joon Ho is one of my favourite directors.
We saw the UK premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival and Ewen Bremner did a wee introduction for it. It was nice.

An absolute unit
Re: The Movie Thread
There are just some 'suspension of disbelief' things I find harder to swallow
And a train that continually navigates a totally frozen earth, on which there are haves and have-nots (for some reason the haves decided to include the latter) is just daft IMO
One of those films where I kind of hoped they all died
No idea how they got some names to sign-up for such drivel (and I wonder what they made of the finished film)
Definitely one of the worst films I've seen in a very long time...

Re: The Movie Thread
I’ve seen part of this film. I could not watch it all. I’m afraid I sit with the “that’s absolute dribble” camp.

Re: The Movie Thread
I liked the Weapons trailer, seemed like an interesting premise and its just been released to buy on Apple TV so thought I'd give it a watch.
Fvck me. What a ride of absolute insanity through tense thriller to WTAF.
Well worth watching.

Re: The Movie Thread
Yep, watched that one at the cinema, it was great. Who knew the sound of the rear door of a car opening could be so frightening
Barbarian is by the same director and is good fun too

Alien Romulus
Hey guys! I've had a great idea:
Why don't we remake the first Alien film, but with teenagers instead of proper people?
It would be great if we could get Millie Bobbie Brown to star in it, but if she's too expensive, just find someone who looks a bit like her
That'd be great

Spinal Tap 2
If you have affectionate memories of the first Tap film then you should enjoy this, it’s got some great gags and some absolutely stellar cameos from the biggest names in music. It does help if you are already in on the jokes from the first film, but overall it’s a witty and entertaining follow up, although I’m unsure how funny it would be to non diehard Tap fans.
I’d give it 7 drummers out of 11
