Look who's back is on the Irish netflix.
Basically its a comedy where Hitler wakes up in today's world. Everyone thinks its a edgy genius comic doing a method act and he becomes a star but......
Its genuinely funny, although watching it, its worrying that if he was about today he probably would do quite well.:eek:

Two nights and two more movies that I wouldn't recommend.
"Terminator: Genisys" (2015) - this franchise has run its course. Even Arnie was confused by the convoluted relationship with previous plots. I have the others in the series in my collection but won't be adding this awful pile of parrot droppings.
"Total Recall" (2012) - just awful when compared with the outstanding 1999 movie. The three-titted woman was the only nod to the original! What, apart from money, possessed anybody to make this rubbish. I need to visit Rekall to have my memory of this film removed.0 -

I must be one of the few people who enjoyed both of those movies. they werent perfect but they were both pretty serviceable action flicks.
the zero grav elevator sequence in total recall was pretty impressive iirc.0 -

'71 (2014)
A British squaddie finds himself left behind in a Nationalist area of Belfast in the aftermath of a botched army operation. Pursued by a number of IRA gunmen, and a British undercover unit with Loyalist links, things go from bad to worse as he tries to get back to his base.
As movies about the 'Troubles' go it was okay and there was good attention to detail - equipment, uniforms etc. but overall it never really hit the mark. I have seen it compared with the 1947 film "Odd Man Out" which starred James Mason as an IRA man hunted through the streets of Belfast by the authorities. While the theme is the basically the same i.e the hunted prey not knowing who to trust as he tries to avoid capture, the earlier movie wins hands down for atmosphere and tension.
If 'Troubles' movies are your thing and you haven't seen '71 you should probably give it a whirl, and you should definitely get hold of "Odd Man Out".
I'm probably being a bit harsh and I would give '71 6/10 for effort.0 -

I checked this out and I found that it dragged quite a lot, which says something about a movie less than 2 hours long. Too much scripted and not enough of the Borat/Bruno style scenes and a love story that seemed utterly pointless. If they had removed that and made it a bit shorter then it would have been magnificent.
Still recommend people check it out.0 -
