I like a good war film. There are some uncomfortable ones like, The Deerhunter, Casualties of War. And some great films like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, The Cruel Sea, Enemy At The Gates, Zulu. It's a massive list.

Hope you enjoy it!
That film was absolutely harrowing.
What those American soldiers did with that Vietnamese lassie, they should have been castrated.
Have you seen Redacted?
The ****s gang rape an Iraqi schoolgirl & then murder her entire family including a baby.
****ing Yanks, piss ant tossers.

No. Haven't seen that one. Think I'll give it a wide berth as well! <ok>
 
I liked Drive so watched a film by the same director called Neon Demon. It was a mistake. It's two hours long and the first hour and fifty minutes covers a young girl becoming a successful beginner model in LA, the last ten minutes she gets murdered and eaten by jealous older models who were losing work to her.

Endless scenes of absolutely **** all happening while the director faps over his own arty genius. It got nice and ****ed up at the end but damn it was a boring film.

Windig Refn is a ****ing weirdo. You might like only god forgives. Very Drive like

All style and no substance for me.

I thought there was another one of his that I was interested in, I'll have a look at a review or two and see if it sounds interesting enough to watch, slightly put off from him after Neon Demon. I know with these high concept films they can be hit and miss.

I don't mind style over substance sometimes as long as I'm really into the style.
 
Its a superb film.

Hanks has been in some top notch films.

Yeah he's a true modern great. A lovely bloke by all accounts too with none of the ego you'd expect from such a big name. He still personally replies to fan mail by typing out funny one finger responses on a vintage typewriter.

I never liked him early day. But he has been in top notch films.

Green mile. Saving private ryan. Etc.

I liked the one at the airport
 
I just watched one with my daughter called My Name is Lenny.
About Lenny McClean the unlicensed boxer.
He fought Roy Shaw three times & according to the movie, it was 1-1 & a draw.
I don't know for sure, maybe Joe will.
 
Avoid Valerian like it's the plague!

What a pile of ****E!!

The best acting in the film is by Delavigne's eyebrows!
