Palatkik Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Blue Story [2019] A UK London gangster movie hums along just right despite some of the cliches with a good soundtrack, performances and poetic rapping dialogue. Plenty of senseless violence that had it pulled from screens initially in UK, but a worthy work along the lines of Boyz N The Hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 The Whistlers [2019] A crime drama with a subtle sense of dark humor, confident old-style storytelling and zesty performances make this one of the better films out of Europe as of late, when a Romanian police officer plays both sides of the law chasing a hidden stash of money.

Coss Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Capone (2020) I liked this, a lot, seems like it's getting a mixed reception, but then it's new. Director, Writer: Josh Trank Stars: Tom Hardy, Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon Once the most feared bootlegger of Chicago, Al Capone is sent to prison for tax evasion. At the age of 40, following nearly a decade of imprisonment, he is released after being deemed no longer a threat, his mind rotting from neurosyphilis. Now retired with his family in Palm Island, Florida, Capone remains under federal watch, as they think he may be faking his insanity. Forced to sell many of his belongings to pay his debts, Capone begins to have hallucinations and loses control of his motor functions. He acknowledges that he hid $10 million, although he cannot remember where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 On 5/16/2020 at 2:47 PM, Palatkik said: Brassic [2020 TV series season 2] Second installment about a group of hard up UK northerners who find dubious ways of making a living. Not quite up to the first season standard but still worth a laugh for its childish gross out humor woven into the slapstick story-line. T,was funny, being a hard up Northerner with dubious ways of making a living meeself reminded me of life 30 Years ago. A major error in the Shows title, Brassic is Cockney Rhyming Slang, “Borassic Lint” Skint, which I presume it refers to. Rhyming Slang is not used Oop Norf and in Lancashire Brassic is slang for very cold, taken from “cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Arkansas (2020) Starts a little slow, given that I don't expect much from Liam Hemsworth, then it get's better, all in all a satisfying and interesting flick. Kyle and Swin live by the orders of an Arkansas-based drug kingpin named Frog, whom they've never met. But when a deal goes horribly wrong, the consequences are deadly. Liam Hemsworth, Vince Vaughn, Clark Duke et al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Blood and Money (2020) Another, that at first appears a little slow, but is a good movie. I won't inject any spoilers, except to say, watch it all the way to the end. A retired veteran, hunting in the snow in Northern Maine...

Palatkik Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The Lunchbox [2013] A revisit to one of the best films starring Irffan Kahn who passed away earlier this year at 53, this is a wonderfully directed Indian drama about what happens when the Mumbai lunch box delivery service gets repeatedly sent to the wrong person and resultant friendship and dreams that develop between the younger frustrated cook and the retiring widower accountant, only to be consumed by the reality. Superb film making worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
