A couple of old favourites of mine...

Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze,

and probably my all time favourite is Deliverance....worth watching just for the duelling Banjos

Enjoy.....

 

Hi,
Just noticed your thread - how were they live these days?
I know Andy has had terrible health problems over the last few years - but understand he is much better now.
I saw Camel live at Guildford Civic hall in around 1979 - they played whole of Snow Goose live - just awesome!!
Cheers
Steve

 

I saw them play Harrogate on youtube in 2012 and they weren't great. The other night Andy looked completely revitalised, his playing was faster, his singing was in tune and as good as ever live, also his general movement was the sharpest since his illness.

Seems a strange thing to say but they were probably at their peak tbh. 'Ice' raised the roof, standing ovation for a very emotional performance.

The song list could have included a few more greats though such as

Lawrence
Stationary Traveler
For Today
Anything off the Snow Goose

 

Great scene! Right up there with the end scene on Dead man's shoes

Just been to cinema to see Jurassic World. 7/10

 

I've started to watch Sherlock Holmes BBC series with Benedict Cumberbach in it. I think he's a very good actor, and proves that one doesn't have to be beautiful to be impressive. I've only watched one episode, and I'm yet to find it gripping otherwise.

 

Cumberbitch Jurassic World is/was complete pants Matt.

 

Oye! I'm not his hard core fan or anything, so stop it!

 

It was a just above average attempt at recreating 'Aliens.' Sgt Pile playing the role of Carter Burke.

 

You can't compare that tripe to Aliens! That's sacrilege

 

Sgt. pile was full metal jacket

 

Or compare it to full metal jacket!

 

I saw an Irish musical film called Once (2007) on BBC One last night. It was a story of love, not a love story. I thought it was a good film. It was certainly better than Hugh Grant's musical love film, which is like his same annoying sh*t in another movie.

 

I once saw Once on One.

 

I saw Once only once on One, meself.

 

Actually, I haven't seen it -- I was just trying to be 'clever'/'funny'.

 

Oh, really???

Every one tries to be clever in his/her life time at least, once. The ones that say they don't, are just telling one big fib; at least once, if not all the time.

 

Taliking of One on One... What's happened to The One Show this week: nothing in the schedules!

 

Was in, or do you mean he made the film what it is?

Pile was a bit iffy in Jurassic World, I don't even think he needed that cheesy evil smile to end the ambiguity of his character.

 

I don't know, man. The One Show is one of many things that I don't watch. I actually have bought one film called seventy plus one = '71 today with Starred Up kid in it. You may know the one I'm talking about. I shall make time to watch that one, one day.

 

Yeah, '71 is a decent movie.

I love anything to do with The Troubles... Funnily enough, I was watching lots of docos on it, on YT a couple of days ago.

Gotta finish Starred Up too... I got to the bit where he's in the exercise yard and he speaks to that screw...

 

Last night I broke away from Elder Scrolls Online and Watched The Sacrament.

4/10, Father was a bit creepy but the film was pretty boring and lacked tension.

 

I know it has been recommended here already, but I only watched The Imitation Game last night. It was good, but I can see why the competent Cumberbatch fella lost his race for the Oscar against the fragile Redmaine. The Theory of Everything was much more impactful than this one. 6.7/10.

 

Watched Serenity last night 5/10.

And Minions at the cinema today 3/10.

 

They sound undesirable. After reading your scoring, I won't bother with any of them now. Spending to watch any of them in the cinema would pain me very much.

 

Obviously the latter was with the nipper. (ish) I prefer Found Footage to animations.

 

Its been mentioned earlier, but for those of us who were around at the time (seems like most on here!)


Just watched it - very good!

 

I've had this film sitting on my shelf for a very long time. I hear nothing but the best reviews on this one. I must make an effort to watch it.

 

Senna is a fine film. I deteste F1* but the film really brings home a legend to you.

Last neet I watched 8213: GACY HOUSE, not so good. The Crawl space that features heavily was creepy but they didn't utilise it well enough.

 

I watched Twelve Years A Slave sometimes last week. Real story and heart wrenching, but for me, not well-presented as a film. Despite the Oscar and BAFTA etc. only 6/10 for being tedious and overdramatising it; literally.

 

Watched '71 after food tonight. Good film. 7/10.
