Guest Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 On 03/03/2021 at 22:42, Bargepole23 said: A Taxi Driver. 9/10. Based on real events in Gwangju, S.Korea in 1980. Those real events were the murders of hundreds of protesters by the Army, and the filming of them by a German reporter, helped by a taxi driver. Definitely worth watching. Yes I watched this sometime ago and it's very good. Song Kang-ho is a brilliant actor and you should catch his other movies like Parasite, Memories of Murder and The Host- to name a few.

alchresearch Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Coming 2 America Remember the hype with Blues Brothers 2000? The challenge it had to be a sequel to an absolute classic? The way that even though they threw in as many big names as they could, it just didn't work? Same here. Highlight for me was the wonderful Gladys Knight singing and the "deepfake" / CGI they used to fill in some gaps from the original. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the four old guys in the barbers shop was the best bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Just watched the historical drama 'Peterloo,' directed by Mike Leigh with Maxine Peake and Rory Kinnear, about the 1819 bloody Massacre that took place in Manchester. Overlong, (needs at least an hour edited out of its running length,) but a very good film nonetheless, about an important event that has been ignored for too long. I'd recommend a viewing. I wonder why they don't teach it more in British schools? Edited March 15, 2021 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky_Gibbon Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Deadly Pursuit (1988) - 6/10 Kidnapper-murderer flees with some stolen diamonds and tries to escape into Canada via some wilderness mountain paths whilst being pursued by Sidney Poitier's FBI agent and Tom Berenger, his local guide. I remember watching this as a kid and liking it so much I made my parents rent it from the video shop again. Now older and wiser (definitely the first one anyway) I can see it for the mostly average action thriller it really is. Good cast through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
