Jabberwocky Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) This is a 1999 American dark comedy-thriller film that follows a trio of high school seniors (played by Katie Holmes, Marisa Coughlan, Barry Watson) who must prove their innocence to their vindictive history teacher (the titular Mrs Tingle played by Helen Mirren) , who accuses them of cheating on their exams. They break into her house at night to try and convince Tingle that they didn't cheat but a series of various accidents happen from almost accidentally killing Mrs Tingle and tying her up. A home invasion gone awry. It's a pretty good film. The acting is serviceable but god damn is Helen Mirren a first rate cunt. 6/10 Trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about John Dillinger? Well it is set during a similar era as the Cagney film. The Public Enemy was based on an account of Al Capone's gang. Capone was more 1920s (the actual film came out 1931 so was almost contemporary and acted as a salutary warning on gangland violence), Dillinger Gang: early-mid '30s. It is a true masterpiece, The Public Enemy, Pre-code, that brief little period between the onset of talkies and the implication of the codes when American cinema had a pair of bollocks.

I guess it’s two different focuses. One Dilinger, One Capone. I read the Public Enemies book, but can’t remember if Capone was in that. Everyone seemed to be in it though.

Jabberwocky Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Movie 43 (2013) Movie 43 is a 2013 American anthology comedy fillm with an ensemble cast with the likes of Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Gerard Butler, Leslie Bibb, Kate Bosworth, Josh Duhamel, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Justin Long, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Chris Pratt, Liev Schreiber, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts and Kate Winslet. Julianne Moore, Tony Shalhoub and Anton Yelchin, I have an affinity for watching "so bad it's good" films but this one failed with me BIG TIME. The whole thing was cringe inducing because the gross out/shock factor wasn't funny at all. There is a reason why this is considered one of the worst films ever made. Avoid this piece of shit like the plague. 0/10 Trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds alright in America, it just fuckin' clangs really badly over here but its becoming more and more common. I've heard phrases like 'its all good' and 'hey guys' and 'dude' SOOO much in recent years. If there's anything more unsettling to the digestion of ones breakfast than the sound of an English person going 'dude' I have yet to encounter it. And the way the word 'cool' has been the go to way of saying 'yes', again it sounds cool when Americans do it, black Americans at that but out of an English persons mouth it makes you sound like a fuckin' minge.

DieselDaisy Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler (1922) Both parts, over four hours long. A remarkable film. Weimer cinema epitomised, brimming with extraordinary Expressionist ideas, aesthetic ingenuity, psychological performances and subversive context - your can forgive it its copious length pertaining perhaps to self-indulgence. Fritz Lang is a genius. Edited November 10, 2018 by DieselDaisy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
