Movie review thread...

@Snowy its ok, nothing great but watchable (I just saw there was also a series made in 1994 with a solid cast; Rob Lowe, Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwold and a few other recognisable faces)
Obviously having just read it you know it has a super natural element to it as opposed to just a pandemic (assuming the series writers havent taken liberties) but yeah there are some eerily similar parallels.

Completely agree @taniwharugby
Read and loved the book in the 80's and then again in 1990 when the reprint came out as a Complete and Uncut Edition (in fact, I still have this version but it's in terrible shape at my parents house with all my old shite).
Loved so much about this book except that f*cking end. That "hand from the sky" shit just really really annoys me (even more so as an atheist) and seemed like such a cop-out from King.

Motherless Brooklyn
Neo-noir crime drama set in 1950's NYC directed by and starring Ed Norton as a PI trying to solve the murder of his mentor.
Yeah thought it was gonna be a tough/slow watch but Norton's quirky character makes it much easier. Recommend. Fair few other faces too, Willis, Dafoe, Alec Baldwin, Michael K Williams.
3.5 if's out of 5 if's.

About 15mins into The Untouchables, not my pick obviously, bit dull so far, Kevin Costner at his most handsome though.

@R-L A very good movie, and some great one-liners later in the film.

pffft, sounds like someone doesn't like shootouts or Scotsmen playing Irishmen.

@MN5 I really enjoyed it actually!!! Surprised me, great cast, the only thing I was a bit
about was the baby in the pram scene and when Sean Connery character was shot to pieces but still managed to drag himself across a floor and communicate! Otherwise, yeah good! -

Otherwise, yeah good!Yeah I must try and catch it again sometime, Before Robert De Niro went all woke and anti Trump he was a fucken fantastic actor too, his portrayal of Capone was superb.

@MN5 I reaaaally love De Niro, especially his films like Meet the Parents/Fockers, he does comedy well too. Likeable guy I reckon.

Fantastic actor but comes across very dickish with his anti Trump rants ( as virtually all celebs do )
