so is it a film about saving a giant killer whale or a film about masturbation?sockwithaticket wrote:Different film. The Han Solo movie is simply titled Solo.Moncreif wrote:I'm a bit over these continual star wars spin offs.Floppykid wrote:If you get a chance to see Free Solo, don't miss it.

I watched H20 recently as it has a rep as being best of the rest. Dire. A modicum of amusement to be had at seeing Josh Hartnett and Michelle Williams so fresh-faced.

I'd seen 1-3 (though the latter just once when I was 14), most of V, Resurrection and the first Rob Zombie one. H20 comes out better against the second half of that list, but it was still not a good film by any stretch of the imagination.Salient wrote:Have you actually seen the rest?sockwithaticket wrote:Damning with faint praise...

Halloween - classic
Halloween II - more of the night he came back, do they actually have patients and staff at that hospital beyond the few we see?
Halloween III - Don't even want to think about the lack of logic
Halloween IV - V - IV was okay and then they frack it up in V.
Halloween VI - uhmmm so the Producer's cut is meant to explain all those disjointed scenes right?
H2O - Thank God
Halloween Resurrection - dear god in heaven baby Jesus slaughters at least three kittens every time some one watches this one.
Rob Zombie's remake and sequel, please shot the franchise in the head, surely it can't get any worse than this rubbish
Halloween 2018, guess I was wrong about it getting worse.

Gladiator 2 in the works from Ridley Scott
British film-maker will reportedly follow up 2000 Oscar winner with sequel that follows the son of Connie Nielsen’s character
Ridley Scott has begun to develop a sequel to Gladiator.
According to Deadline, the director is set to take on the project for Paramount with a script to be written by Peter Craig, whose credits include The Town and the forthcoming sequel Top Gun: Maverick.

The story will reportedly focus on Lucius, the son of Lucilla, played by Connie Nielsen in the 2000 original. Lucius was also the nephew of Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, who killed Russell Crowe’s Maximus at the end of the film.
After Gladiator made $460m worldwide and won five Oscars, including best picture, talk of a sequel has come up in the years since. Nick Cave took it upon himself to write his own take that would have brought back Maximus from the dead via the body of a slain Christian martyr.
“[Crowe] rang me up and asked if I wanted to write Gladiator 2,” Cave said to Marc Maron in 2013. “For someone who had only written one film script, it was quite an ask. ‘Hey Russell, didn’t you die in Gladiator?’ ‘Yeah, you sort that out.’”
Last year, Scott said the script was “on the shelf”.
After 2012’s Prometheus, Scott made his second prequel to Alien last year before telling the story of the Getty kidnapping in All the Money in the World. He is currently directing his first TV series, Raised by Wolves, a sci-fi tale of androids raising human children. He is also attached to a drama about the life of photojournalist Lyndsey Addario, played by Scarlett Johansson.

Perfect mixture of historical violence, epic battles, nudity, zero to hero, strong personalities etc. Would be good if given 10 hours to fully develop and tell the story.danny_fitz wrote:I would prefer if Kingdom of Heaven got the HBO multi episode series treatment with Ridley at the helm and Orlando Bloom barred from the set.Brazil wrote:Ridley'll be doing a lacklustre sequel to that Hovis ad soon...

Hope to watch it shortly. The promos look incredible, and I've only heard great things about it. Glad there is something like this to lend some perspective on the 100th anniversary of the Armistice.Kid A wrote:Saw it last night. Utterly incredible. 9/10EverReady wrote:

I'll make sure to be more accurate with historical details when I write my Canadian version, about how our current capital got a complete cleanup and re-branding after Irish and Scots and French gangs went at it and ruled the town during the mid-1800s.sockwithaticket wrote:Re-watched Gangs of New York over the last couple of nights.

It's a bit of a wanky list. Some classic movies there but hardly any modern ones.

I don't remember much about that film but I remember it being throwaway fun (and I don't have a problem with throwaway fun, not every movie needs to be high art) and having a hot Olivia Munn in it.Nieghorn wrote:I'm a couple of years behind, but Netflix just added a bunch of 'Christmas' films and thought I'd give Office Christmas Party a go because I was in the mood for something stupid to play in the background while surfing.

It's a 'bad' film, but it was reasonably straightforward with good characters and not as offensive (in both lame jokes and with crudeness) as I expected it to be. I laughed quite a few times.
Also, I'm not sure if I've ever been as turned on by Jennifer Aniston as I was when she started krav maga-ing some Russian baddies.

It's like they had a very loose outline for the story and then started filming before they'd actually finished it. There are times when several minutes are spent on special effects with weird creatures of magic battles with fire monsters, involving characters that it's very hard to care about.
Somehow Grindlewald can see the future. Eh, what? Surely that needs a bit more exploration? Nope, here's some CGI explosions.
Some moments of humour, but it tried to be too serious with heavy plot about finding some guy's true identity. Yawn.
I know it's a Harry Potter spin-off, so it's likely to be poor enough, but it was properly crap.
Also, young Dumbledore was gay for Grindlewald. Not sure what that added to anything, other than a ham-fisted means by which Dubmbledore couldn't get involved in stopping the baddie. Hence, a magical zoologist having to help defeat the most dangerous person in the world.
