    <p>Von Ryan's Express. Trains, Nazis, Frank Sinatra. Some pretty cool effects considering the age. Was quite surprised at the ending, even now that rarely happens, would have been revolutionary at the time (also, the shooting of a fleeing woman.)</p>

    <p>Fucken EXCELLENT film, remember seeing that with my Granddad on a cold, rainy day. I'll give spoilers, fuck it, it's about a million years old, you should all have seen it. So hard to watch Franks character running for the train, so frustrating, in the same way in the original Back to the future where you're hoping Doc can connect the cables in time you really hope Frank can make it on the train.....it really got me at the time.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Someone mentioned Adam Sandler being in a Tarantino film, if I could legally kill someone he'd be extremely high on the list.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Deadpool ? fuck that superhero shit, does he really compare to Batman, the Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine etc ? as a rule those movies are generally crapola, the only Dead Pool anyone should watch is the final Dirty Harry Movie ( which admittedly was quite crap )</p>

    <p>Jim Carrey got killed in that film, that immediately gives it three out of five stars.</p>

    <p>Quite correct. Bizarrely enough he played a Rock star miming to "Welcome to the Jungle".</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The original Dirty Harry is hands down one of the best fucken movies ever made, Clint, the bad guy, the script, the location, the music......EVERYTHING clicks into revolutionary movie making genius. The next two were very good and then the 80's hit and Dirty Harry pretty much turned to shit as is often the case.</p>

    <p>My son and I watched the Gauntlet a while back, that was a decent mindless action flick. Also Sondra Locke gets her gear off.</p>

    <p>Yeah that's an underrated Clint flick that is decent entertainment. I prefer chicks with slightly bigger assets than Sondra but each to their own, if you keep on like that I'll start calling you M4L.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In my opinion the best of his lesser known efforts that no one else has seen are Coogans Bluff and the Eiger Sanction.</p>

    <p>Right. Dead pool. I found it very funny. It does very well to get you to root for a guy who is actually a complete and utter arsehole. Most of his superhero mates aren't much better than him either, all unlikeable shits. They're more like the scrotes in "Misfits" than the Avengers.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>TR, not one for your young TRjr yet. The humour is very adult and relentless, and a lot of the violence is full-on, like if Itchy and Scratchy were made as a live action film.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I might go again.</p>

    <p>Deadpool's trailer looked like the most cringiest thing I had ever seen. No one laughed at any of the jokes in the trailer when it was played before other movies. Then it goes and gets good reviews from most people. I will probably still skip it because I don't like superhero movies.</p>

    <p>Watched 12 Years a Slave last night. Excellent movie, but a tough watch. My better half was in tears about 30 seconds in...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Chiwetel Ejiofor was very good.</p>

    <p>We're you watching The Danish Girl with the blue rinse crowd - every time I've seen the preview the crowd has cracked up. I ignore trailers, I hate them, they give too much away, so I don't know if it's funny personally.</p>

    <p>Deadpool - Was awesome, it's almost a Superhero pisstake. Oh, and it's basically a comedy.</p>

    <p>Funnily enough The Big Short was the first film I saw (rather heard as I read stuff on my phone) the trailer at there was laughing aplenty.</p>

    Yeah Deadpool was great, good translation from the comics and very funny. Dragged the wife to it, and even she enjoyed it. <br><br>
    Worth a second watch to hear all the jokes.
