    @Bovidae he denies it? It’s in the credits that it’s based on Infernal Affairs. I remember reading an empire mag before it was released that it was based on it...

    @raznomore IMDb says that Scorsese claims he was unaware that his film was a remake of this one during filming.

    I'm not sure how I stumbled across a movie I very much dug as a kid but as nostalgia goes it was kind of worth it.. The Wraith. 1986 pre Wall Street Charlie Sheen car-based actioner.

    Colossally bad. Funny in an unintentional way. Smoking hot Sherilyn Fenn though. She doesn't get enough love that one. Twin Peakes, Two Moon Junction(I watched approximately 6min of that film over 1000 times...) and this. Mega hot.

    2 Winning Junkies out of 5 Heidi Fleiss call girls.

    I just stumbled across 47 Ronin last night.

    Really enjoyed it.

    I was thinking at the end how cool it was based on a true story and then realised that I had just seen samurais smoking dragons and humans that turn into snow foxes. I had to jump myself back into reality.

    Shooter, low rent Mark Wahlberg conspiracy film. Quite enjoyable undemanding watch, Rhona Mitra and Kate Mara gives the film extra credit. 3.5 sniper rifles out of 5 dirty senators

    Bloody good seeing this again on Netflix after how many years....an interesting take on criminals using the media to try and generate sympathy. Just bloody entertaining all round, Robert De Niro is awesome, so is Edward Burns ( does he make movies anymore ? he was cool but seems to have vanished ) and good supporting turns from all the rest notably Kelsey Grammar and the creepy foreign bad bloke who was in Rock'n'Rolla.

    4 dodgy foreigners out of 5 celebrity cops and fire wardens

    The documentary The Resurrection of Jake The Snake is on Amazon Prime.

    A pretty uplifting redemption story about recovery from alcohol addiction with support from other wrestlers.

    And has him wearing this awesome t-shirt

    Jake is the absolute fucken man. Over lockdown I found myself googling lots of wrestlers from the 80s.......at a guess I'd say 50% of the Superstars of that era are no longer with us.

    Jakes yarns on Andre drinking and shitting during a match, Macho Man getting bitten by the Snake, tricking Rick Rude into drinking his jizz etc are legendary.

    Cheers @Stockcar86 will definitely give this a hoon.

    Upgrade. A Netflix near future sci-fi. Interesting plot line with several possible bad guy outcomes. No tits. Fight scenes a bit odd, but there’s a reason for that. I found the ending a bit unsatisfying but on reflection I’m not sure it would have been better with an alternative. 3 weedy looking bad guys out of 5 sympathetic AIs.

    @MN5 Yeah, could have shortened the review without compromising the necessary information.

    The Invisible man.

    The opening scene is brilliantly done. It sets the tone for what is a pretty tense and at times, scary movie.

    Elizabeth Moss is a fantastic actress and she is amazing in this.

    Knives Out.

    Sensational. Really outstanding film, well built, well acted, well directed, great performances. Really enjoyed it.

    Five suicides out of five murders

    Didn't get on with it.

    Overwrought.
