Remake of Papillon, anyone seen it?

No. What would be the point?

It was her sex noises in the barn bonking scene that did it for me.

Bill, I saw the remake of Papillon. It was just okay. Parts were interesting. Hunnam was pretty good, but Rami Malek as Louis was very weak in my opinion. The original was much more emotionally engaging for me.

Thanks joan, i imagined as much. Gotta go some to beat a classic film and 2 such great actors. Weirdly i started watching that Chasing Bullitt film about mcQueen set in early 70s and in it he has a scene with actor playing Hoffman discussing the "french colony thing" and that "Schaffner might be directing" and that Hoffman had "talked to Trumbo about fleshing out Dega's character".

In fairness I hated the second one. The first one was ok. Rather than have any one outstanding fight sequence it's just 90% action 10% dull exposition that sort of washes over you. It all looks and feels very computer gamey.

Hot Air
3/10
Gets tiresome quickly and doesn't say very much. Coogan can't shake the ghost of Partridge. His Yank accent never sounds fully convincing to me either.

Between Two Ferns The Movie
5/10
Pretty amusing parts.will Ferrel is lousy whenever he's on screen. Same schtick from 20 years ago. Thebinterviewbouttakes at the end are the funniest thing in it.

Black '47

7.4/10

Basically a western set in Ireland during the Famine. And not a bad one either. The main character looks a bit like a ginger bearded Robert Pattinson and has the man-with-no-lines role. Although he's also Irish Rambo too, basically.

The music is mostly inoffensive celtic-flavoured stuff, until a few action scenes where it becomes gratingly generic, and a couple of times where it tries sounding like a western and really wants you to know it. So inoffensive or irritating in equal measure.

Worth a watch if you like straight forward westerns or revenge films. The setting sets it apart enough to make it interesting.

Scream (1981)
0.5/10

Terrible slasher film. Off-screen deaths. Unlikeable characters. Banal dialogue. Flat direction. Music that is mostly fitting a light, breezy TV comedy of the period. The great Woody Strode is thankfully only in it for a brief cameo at the end. The identity of the killer is abysmal.

VILLAINS (2019) - 7/10

A young couple (Bill SkarsgÄrd and Maika Monroe) rob a convenience store, but some monumentally bad planning causes them to run out of gas on a lonely country road during their getaway. Looking for a new ride to steal, they happen upon an isolated house where the owners are not at home. In searching for the car keys, they come across a child chained up in the basement. Then they are discovered, when the parents come home--Jeffrey Donovan, a genteelly malevolent husband devoted to his wife, and Kyra Sedgwick, a woman teetering on the edge of sanity. An awkward situation develops.

This semi-comedic tale offers no new surprises for its genre, but the cast is good, and at 88 minutes, the film does not overstay its welcome.

You know the film was intended as a semi- spoof of the genre, right?

Same score, then but for different reasons. Still an abject failure.

Every time one of these remakes is announced fans scream " sacrilege".
Every time the film sinks without a trace preserving the reputation of the original!
