Years back I remember a USA magazine building a genuine 'Harley' out of after-market parts to prove a point - replica S&S engine or something, etc etc. Nice bike, but not a HD...................Originally Posted by pritch

On Netflix last night I watched "Whisky Tango Foxtrot" basically just because the name appealed to me. Yeah I know I'm shallow. I use "WTF" on social media, actually a lot of people do now, it's the Trump effect.
The story concerns a US journalist who gets uprooted from her boring domestic reporting job to become a war corespondent. At first of course she is super naive, Hollywood always lays it on thick so that you can't possibly miss it. She adapts and makes a name for herself.
As I watched it I wondered where it was filmed because it was unlikely that it was actually filmed in Afghanistan. When the credits rolled I think it said the whole thing was filmed in New Mexico although I may be mistaken because the vinho tinto was kicking in by then.
Despite being filmed a long way from Afghanistan the locations are convincing enough, certainly convincing enough for me, never having been there and having no desire to go. The off-duty life style depicted seems over the top hedonistic but I guess there'd be an element of "eat drink and be merry".
Not much tits and bums and not *that* much action but I don't feel the movie was a waste of time.
Maybe 7.5, - worth a look.

it's a shame this didn't have the budget to be better. it's also a shame that there was very littile subtlety in the plot, everything was made very obvious... leading me to believe their target was children or retards.
neat enough idea, the bits of in-world tech where the budget went were orright, and the sfx (both of them), too.
but overall let down. no-one can type qwerty that fast. and if hacking, you don't have to, but i guess watching someone write ten thousand lines of code and proof read it doesn't look good on screen.
had potential. didn't live up to it. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

This is quite weird in how it seems to gloss over some pretty dark shit.
Can't say fuck all without spoiling it.
Would watch again.

"Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" bit of a strange one. Starts of well, strong performances by actors but then sort of (IMHO) ends without going anywhere.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

No, but I'm looking forward to it. Watched Bitter Moon again the other day (off work so have too much time on me hands), it's a tough watch, but a good film.

I rated it a bit higher than that, even if I could only remember a little of the original. "Blade Runner" was a long time ago and it might've been better to watch that before seeing 2049.

The Death Of Stalin
Critic's Review: 8 / 10
General Ordinary Person Review, well mine anyway: 3 / 10 (and that's being nice)
Right, it's supposed to be a blackly comic look at some mental goings-on following Stalin's fatal stroke. Razor-sharp script, top shelf acting talent, very nicely dressed up and staged too.
There are quite a few scenes showing people getting rounded up, jailed, tortured, and summarily shot. People are being dragged away from their families by uniformed gun-toting goons. It's quite difficult to find anything funny while this stuff is happening, no matter how clever the script is. Beria's execution - although he has it coming big time - is just horrible.
For a supposed comedy, I've never been a theatre where so few people actually laughed... Zhukov was OK. That's about it really.
Fucking awful. Avoid.

Layer Cake.
Still one of the finest British movies of gangland style genre. Made in that way which hollyweird totally fucks up but the Brits do so well (Lock,Stock & 2 smoking barrels - Snatch, etc).
Multiple threads of stories intertwining into one with some well known acting credentials involved.
