There was a post of all the cast members somewhere on a site the other day
Most of the old cast will be returning, which is quite good, 1 of my top movies to see next year, i can't wait (sounds nerdy as out) haha

In my opinion, the Terminator series peaked at Terminator 2 although I thought Salvation was OK for what it was. I really don't want to see another one featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger - there's only so many times the T-800 can be reprogrammed for my liking. Why not reprogram the T-1000 and bring Robert Patrick back into the fold?
I'm quite looking forward to the new Star Wars trilogy. I like how they've conveniently set it 35 years on from the original saga.

Completely forgot to mention 'One night in Turin'.
Had never seen it until recently, but thought it was brilliantly put together.
Not the worlds biggest film buff, but highly recommend this to any football fan.
It was a local film too - part financed by One North East and partly filmed locally.

Die Hard 6 doesn't look like it is upto much!

Sitting watching Naked Gun 2 1/2.
Naked Gun 33 1/3 is on next. Dunno if the first one has been on.
If you haven't seen them, they're worth watching. Very funny.
I won't spoil the storylines, but they're all about Frank Drebin and his crusade to rid the world of baddies.
In 2 1/2, he tries to stop a major PLC from leeching subsidies from the Government...

I like the Baseball highlights from the first one.
I think I would like to see more sportsmen getting mauled by Tigers (or Lions - I can't remember).

Went to see Deadpool last night, was pleasantly surprised with it! Definitely go and see it if you can
RE: Movies - MurdnunoC - 03 Mar 2016
Trailer for the new Ghostbusters film
I wasn't impressed by this.
If the film ends up anything like the trailer then I think it'll be awful.

A Trainspotting trailer isn't a Trainspotting trailer, without a dog being shot in the balls!
Sitting in the old Metrocentre pictures and seeing that particular segment in the original trailer, was what sold the original to me.
Hoping this sequel is as good!

I loved the first one, can't wait for the this one!

Fingers crossed its as good. Haven't read the book, so have no idea what happens.

RE: Movies - MurdnunoC - 03 Nov 2016
I've read Porno (the book the film is based on - not actual Porno) and it's canny. It's not my favourite Irvine Welsh novel but it's still decent. I hope 'Juice Terry' (probably the best character in the Welsh universe) makes an appearance in the film although I haven't seen anyone listed as playing the character.
RE: Movies - Andreos1 - 11 Feb 2017
Finally got to see Trainspotting 2 the other day.
Enjoyed it.
I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but the majority of the original cast made a return. Certainly the main characters.
I didn't notice a cameo from Dale Winton this time though.
RE: Movies - Michael - 10 Apr 2017
Anyone going to see the remake of IT? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldD73I2snOY
Also the new Thor: RAGNAROK teaser trailer was released today - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oX6EokOeqo
RE: Movies - Andreos1 - 29 Dec 2017
Shaun the Sheep Movie.
Lots of VR action. A nod to Aardman's Bristol heritage perhaps?
They usually use the 62 (complete with flip-dot blinds). Which stops outside Mossy Bottom Farm and takes them to the City Centre. Has a cracking frequency too!
A fantastic underground bus-station scene too. Looked very similar to Eldon Square with shops running alongside the length of one side.
However, the buses parked in a similar fashion to the current Eldon Square, rather than the old one.
Anyone seen it and want to hazard a guess on a real-life location they may have based it on?

Does it have a cling on corner complete with an ipad wielding enthusiast.

Didn't see any.
Perhaps it is in the extended directors cut version? 'the one with extra baaa-ing'.
RE: Movies - Andreos1 - 14 Dec 2020
Watched The Likely Lads film at the weekend.
Some cracking shots of Newcastle, Northumberland, Hadrian Park, Wallsend and Whitley Bay from the 70s.
There was some cracking footage of the PTE fleet as well - including a scene with a Mk1 Metrobus and Bob Collier getting his roses stuck in the door, as he boarded outside the Grainger Market.
Edit: https://www.reelstreets.com/films/likely-lads-the/ just found this site. It has some stills from the film and also outlines where some of the scenes were filmed. The ones I didn't recognise, were because they were down south in Borehamwood. Don't think I've been to Borehamwood at all.

Got dragged to go see the new Spiderman last night, and bloody hell did it drag.
I feel like they could have cut an hour out of it and nothing would have been lost

What was it like? I've been asked to go a couple times now, but people have said you need to have watched the others to really get a feel for it.

You definitely need to have seen the previous ones as they make loads of references. The only ones I've seen are the Toby Maguire ones (and I wouldn't say I've actually /watched/ them), so I did get a few of the references.
But I definitely felt like a lemon a lot of the time when everyone else in the cinema was laughing and I just didn't know what was going on.
Visually, it was great, but the story was very meh, like I said I felt like they could have cut an hours worth of movie out of it and you wouldn't really lose anything.

I went to see it yesterday in IMAX. I enjoy superhero moves but felt aftetr leaving this was a bit over hyped TBH. Even the 2nd credit seen at the end was just a trailer for the new Dr Strange movie rather athen a tit bit to whats happening in the next marvel adventure/.
RE: Movies - MurdnunoC - 01 Jan 2022
I watched Matrix Resurrections about a week ago and thought it was pretty poor.
A film trying to be 'meta' for its own good.
RE: Movies - Chris 1 - 14 Jan 2022
Not sure how recent it is, but Netflix kept on suggesting it so we gave it a whirl. Anyone seen The Gentlemen? Didn't think it would be my cup of tea but we roared. Plenty of industrial language so probably not one to watch with the family.

Quite enjoyed it, but not one I would rush back to watch.
There were some funny characters!

Certainly is! Hugh Grant had me. Some brilliant one liners
RE: Movies - streetdeckfan - 09 Oct 2024
Went to go and see Joker: Folie à Deux this evening as I'd heard bad things about it, and oh my god was it an absolute crock of shite.
There was literally no story, there were far too many musical interludes, and the whole thing just went on for far too long. How they managed to drag it out for over 2 hours is beyond me.
There were only 10 of us at the showing, one left about 2/3 of the way through, at which point a few were just playing with their phones.
As soon as the credits started, pretty much everyone got straight up and left, I overheard the people in front of me discussing it and their overview was "that was shit"
