Ridgewalk   100 #2425 Posted April 1, 2018 Journeyman 8/10  Story of a boxer brain damaged during a fight and his struggle for rehabilitation.  Slow first 30 minutes in the build up to the fight focusing on his gentleness and love towards his wife and baby daughter. At this point in the film I was ready to walk out through shear banality and boredom. ( i’m not a great lover of British made films ) This film was a collaboration between Channel4 and Yorkshire Film. It sort of had the feeling of a 1960s «* kitchen sink drama*» ( Ken Loach et al).  However what a film it turned out to be. It wasn’t until halfway through that it dawned on me that it was filmed in Sheffield , saw scenes on the Wicker, or more accurately Burngreave and Brendan Ingles gym Wincobank. There were other scenes filmed at Bramall Lane, Barnsley Metrodome.  Moving and heart warming. Still not sure whether it was pro or anti boxing.  Side note. Not the «* usual*» Showroom type crowd  ---------- Post added 01-04-2018 at 07:58 ----------  Lady Bird 10/10.

Â No, I am wrong here, that film was called simply McVicar. Edited April 1, 2018 by Ontarian1981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

tinfoilhat   11 #2433 Posted April 2, 2018 The Mummy. The new one with tiny tom cruise. He's normally pretty watchable can turn a crap film into something half decent but didn't stand a chance with this turkey. The plot was muddled, it sort of wanted to be a zombie/horror film but couldn't pull that off as it wasn't scary enough and was way short of wise cracking daring do of the Mummy films of the late 90s early 00s. It reminded me oddly enough of some of the later Underworld films - dark and broody but no substance. 4/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M   1,625 #2435 Posted April 3, 2018 I watched the Green Mile last night for the first time everyone told me its good and it sure was great film  I think it's one of those films that most seem to like apart from me. Same as The Shawshank Redemption, which with the Green Mile shares the same writer and director - the film did nothing for me.
