Christmas films are mostly the same, The magic of Christmas, whatever the f that means. Redemption and forgiveness, why? And romance, boring. So when you have Santa fighting off an assassination attempt, you have to pay attention. Anyway… when recently searching for Christmas films that weren't littered with cheer and good will, I found Fatman. I briefly scanned the synopsis, something about Santa trying to save Christmas, a prepubescent kid whose got the ‘ump and hired a hitman trying to kill Santa… wait what?! #Fatman #Fatman2020 #MelGibson #WaltonGoggins #ChristmasMovies #ChristmasFilms #ChristmasComedies #ChristmasDarkHumour #Eleventy8 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

We’ll talk about Gremlins! That’s right, it is a Christmas movie since the events played out in it feature around Christmas Eve and there is a shit load of snow, real or fake makes no difference to me! So with that out of the way, did you know that Gremlins was loosely coined in the 1920s amongst RAF pilots and engineers? Gremlins were mythological creatures used as a comical way to pass off anomalies when things malfunctioned in the aircrafts at that time. So how did we go from that quaint little nugget of knowledge to the 1984 film, where little green monsters come up with wicked and conniving methods of killing people? #Gremlins #Gremlins1984 #Mogwai #ChrisColombus #StevenSpielberg #ZachGalligan #PhobeCates #JudgeReinhold #HoytAxton #CoreyFeldman 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

True Romance is, first and foremost, entertaining. It’s a ridiculous story with unlikely situations and unbelievable relationships but it’s fun to watch and, let's face it, with most modern movies, there's not a lot of fun to be had these days. #TrueRomance #QuentinTarantino #TonyScott #ChristianSlater #PatriciaArquette #GaryOldman #AllStarCast #90sMovies #TarantinoMovies #Eleventy8 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

Get Paul's reaction to Westworld and find out if Westworld is worth watching. A great premise of Crichton’s was to put people in a theme park setting. Where obnoxious people relax, expecting to enjoy themselves and let their fat hang over their waistbands. This theme park idea also puts these people in a rat maze equivalent, where they are forced to stick to the safe routes. Putting people in a captive environment, making them vulnerable, non-suspecting and unprepared is a great time to f with them. It was such a good idea, Michael wrote it twice! Westworld focuses on a theme park comprised of three different experiences, or worlds. We have the Medieval world, Roman world and Westworld. Westworld is where the majority of our film takes place and it’s based on a frontier town in the 1800s. We’ve got the hotel, the saloon and the brothel, people spitting in spittoons and men that are desperate to murder and f something, and probably in that order. #Westworld #MGM #Sci-Fi #JamesBrolin #YulBrynner #MichaelCrichton #NormanBartold #RichardBenjamin #Eleventy8 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

Get Paul's reaction to Cross of Iron and find out if Cross of Iron is worth watching. Who would have thought that the former country of Yugoslavia, a director necking whiskey all day and money from a porn director, would have combined to create a war film that still receives accolades to this day! It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors. #CrossOfIron #SamPeckinpah #JamesCoburn #MaximilianSchell #JamesMason #DavidWarner #SentaBerger #WorldWar2 #Wehrmacht #Russia #1943 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

Paul asks... Is Gran Turismo worth watching? How the hell does this happen? A movie based on a racing simulator. Not a video game, but a racing simulator. Now I know that Gran Turismo is technically a video game, but it never had a story, it was just about winning races and buying stuff to get better cars so you could win more races and buy more stuff. There is no other gameplay than that. But I never once thought that the game had such a compelling story that this should be a film! Especially when you have such great story-driven single-player games such as The Witcher and Red Dead Redemption, you’d think they would be top of the live-action movies wish list, not f'ing Gran Turismo! #GranTurismo #Sony #PlayStation #JannMardenborough #RacingSimulator #GTAcademy #OrnaldoBloom #DavidHarbour #ArchieMadekwe #Eleventy8 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

Paul asks the question, is A Haunting in Venice worth watching? Paul's ill-researched opinion of Poirot films is that murder happens on a cruise liner, a chateau, or a stately home. Someone gets dead and Poirot bores the audience to death throughout the duration explaining to the simpletons in the room, who dunnit. All the time basking in his massive ego.

Gangster No. 1 is a 2000 British crime drama film that attempts to bring a distinctive British flavor to the well-established gangster film genre. The film follows the ascent of a London criminal organization, with its roots firmly planted in the 1960s. Initially a stage play, the film adaptation was marred by controversy due to interference from the producers in the writing and casting process. This creative clash led original playwrights Louis Mellis and David Scinto to walk away from the project, citing artistic differences. Their departure resulted in Scottish newcomer director Paul McGuigan taking the helm, leaving us with his interpretation of the story. Despite the controversies surrounding its production, Gangster No. 1 garnered generally positive critical reception. The film is praised for its gritty realism and its depiction of the darker side of London's underworld. However, some critics have pointed out the film's lack of originality, given its similarities to other gangster films like Goodfellas and Reservoir Dogs. Overall, Gangster No. 1 is a solid entry into the gangster film genre, offering a unique British perspective on the rise and fall of a criminal empire. While the film's production was marred by creative disagreements, the final product remains a compelling and entertaining watch. #GangsterNo1 #LouisMellis #DavidScinto #PaulMcGuigan #MalcolmMcDowell #PaulBettany #DavidThewlis #SaffronBurrows #1960s #2000sMovies #LondonGangsters #EnglishGangsters #1960sLondon #Eleventy8 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

There are times... only a few times, mind you, where a piece of media, whether it be a film or TV show, grabs and squeezes you by the scrotum and holds you captive till you've finished watching. Boiling Point is high tension, anxiety inducing and difficult to watch film. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, then this film might make you reach for the antidepressants or start banging your head repeatedly against a wall. You may even reach for the bottle of prosecco your partner has been saving for Christmas and down it in one. Anything to stop the PTSD inducing memories of shite times past. #BoilingPoint #BoilingPoint2021 #BoilingPointMovie #PhilipBarantini #JamesCummings #StephenGraham #VinetteRobinson #JasonFlemyng #ProfessionalKitchen #RestaurantDining #LondonRestaurant #Eleventy8 🌐 https://eleventy8.com 🤑 Donate on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3VVQDT9 🪙 Donate Bitcoin: bc1qqx6rcxuu8f0mrgx8mn7a7yp8sh507sqf7unjm2p5cdzhcfvrdauqa0zggl

"The Great Gatsby" directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. In theaters May 10, 2013. "The Great Gatsby" follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

Get ready for a dynamic duo that's about to redefine movie reviewing. Paul and Samir's live stream of "The Equaliser" (2014) is on the horizon, and it's shaping up to be an event that's equally entertaining and baffling. Introducing Paul: a man whose love for alcohol and revenge-themed movies makes him a critical connoisseur with a thirst for justice – as long as it's served in a glass. Expect to be enthralled as he raises a toast to every street justice moment, savouring the gritty tale with the finesse of a sommelier dissecting a fine wine. Then we have Samir, the voice of peace in a world of cinematic chaos. A pacifist at heart, he's as likely to be appalled by a fight scene as he is to make a poorly-timed joke about it. Whether his humour lands or crashes spectacularly is part of the unpredictable charm that makes him an invaluable part of this dynamic duo.

In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by -- he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

Nick Carraway, a young Midwesterner now living on Long Island, finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbour, the nouveau riche Jay Gatsby. He is drawn into Gatsby's circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy.

Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.

Legend is a 2015 biographical crime thriller film written and directed by American director Brian Helgeland. It is adapted from John Pearson's book The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins, which deals with their career and the relationship that bound them together, and follows their gruesome career to life imprisonment in 1969.

Paul and Samir are about to embark on the most riveting live stream event of the century! Brace yourselves as these two cinematic connoisseurs, armed with their sophisticated tastes and copious amounts of wit, take on the masterful masterpiece known as "Bronson" (2008). In one corner, we have Samir, the resident lover of all things film and refined. He's got that unwavering admiration for "Bronson," like a moth drawn to a flickering prison cell lightbulb. His appreciation for the movie transcends the mundane, and his praise for the raw performances and enthralling storytelling is as predictable as a sunrise in a locked-up world. And then there's Paul, the self-proclaimed aficionado of crime and incarceration narratives. He must have been the warden's favourite at movie school with his incessant insistence on films about criminals and prison life. But hey, who needs variety when you can revel in a sea of orange jumpsuits and steel bars? But let's not forget the real star of the show – Paul's trusty drinking companion. Yes, you heard that right! As Paul graces us with his thoughts on the film, he'll also be indulging in a little liquid courage, just to keep things lively. Because nothing screams "deep and insightful film critique" like a generous swig of fermented grape juice, am I right?
