Halloween watch: The Stone Tape (1972)
Written by Nigel Kneale (google him), a TV film produced for the BBC as a traditional Christmas ghost story. A mix of sci-fi and ghost story with great atmosphere and sense of dread which builds towards something genuinely disturbing. Def. one for @Tim to consider putting on his watch list.
4 Ghosts in the Machine out of 5 Ghosts in the Attic.

@Victor-Meldrew Cheers, will check it out.

Free Solo. That guy has balls. My muscles ache at the local climbing wall. Climbing up a sheer cliff race without any rope. Crazy.

The Stranger
Very well acted, kinda interesting but ultimately WAY too boring.
2 undercover cops out of 5 beard and ponytail combos
You got through the whole thing? I stopped after ~20mins. Too slow, too boring and the cinematography shat me.

It was one of those slow burners where you hoped it was gonna get awesome but never did.
If only I knew…..
Joel Egerton is a very good actor though. Kinda reminded me of Christian Bale in the Machinest ie a terrific performance in a shite movie. Perhaps there is a thread in that.

See How They Run (2022)
Comedy whodunnit set in the '50's around the staging of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. Came with good reviews and a good cast, had some good moments but overall was seriously disappointing. David Oyelowo was bloody awful to the point of being cringe-worthy.
3 Miss Marple's out of 5 Doctor Watson's

You gave it a high rating for a disappointing film - I felt the same but with a lower rating.
Didn't have a problem with Oyelowo.

I'm a generous bloke....

He's one of my favourite actors and one of the reasons I was looking forward to the film - he was the most disappointing thing for me.

@MN5 Your favourite character actor is in there.
Vinnie? He's got range. Does Brit AND American movies!

@Kruse if you’re not too busy is there any chance you could give this flick a review ?
Fuck. No.
Never seen it, never want to.
I remember when it came out... just the lowest of low "gross-out" comedy, from my recollection of the "vibe".
But I'm not even watching the trailer to confirm. -

But I'm not even watching the trailer to confirm.I suspect it’s one of the worst “comedies”ever made. Just looks absolutely retarded as fuck and about as funny as Cancer.
I am surprised you’re not taking one for the team though.

Congratulations. You've found my line.
I thought pretty much everybody else had seen it though - it was quite "famous" at the time. -

I was scrolling through YouTube and I do remember seeing the trailer back in the day when the flatties and I had, hmmm, I think it was Saturn TV ?
Fairly sure that’s the only flick we didn’t watch and we sat through some absolute shit.

But I'm not even watching the trailer to confirm.@MN5 I've had the displeasure of seeing it. I had a bit of a thing for watching the Razzie Award winners back in the day. And I liked the Tom Green show. But yeah, it's absolute shit. Can't remember much other than one scene where he grabs an erect horse penis and starts spraying it around.
