Movies in July!

Martin-O2 · ‎09-07-2018

Hey everyone,

I'm going to make the movie thread a monthly thing so here's July's movie discussion! Did anyone get around to seeing any of the movies talked about in last months thread?

July looks a little thin on big blockbusters but we do have the latest installment from the Mission Impossible franchise, Fallout. I've enjoyed the past MI movies so I'll definitely be checking this out!

Escape Plan 2's release has moved to July and I'm still keen to check that out. Just for fun we have Dwayne the Rock Johnson in a new over the top action flick called Skyscraper!

So, is there anything movie wise you're looking forward to seeing in July? Let me know below.

Haven't watched anything new since the Infinity War.
I will try and catch up on the MI films before watching the new one.
Have you seen the side by side of the Skyscraper poster with the Die Hard one? Rather amusing...

Yeah I'm the same. Not seen a lot since Infinity War. Started watching Cargo on Netflix but my friend had an emergency 2 minutes in and had to rush off so had to put that on hold.

The MI films are good fun. It's crazy that Tom Cruise does most of the stunts himself!

I just looked up the posters. Pretty cool nod to Die Hard!

Hmmm, we could be watching "A Nightmare in Moscow" on Wednesday evening or "Mission Impossible" on Sunday

Except MI2. Just dreadful and an insult to the first one as a sequel let alone completely forgetting that MI is supposed to have an elaborate plot without guns and fighting. Remarkably, its 22 years since the first Tom Cruise one came out and the franchise is still going!

If you get a chance, try and find a behind the scenes for the latest one - there is a stunt where TC is jumping from one building to another and breaks his ankle. Just be careful if you are squeamish....

But he still climbs up and runs towards the camera!

Apparently that is the shot they eventually use too.

That scene with TC hitting the wall, breaking an ankle and running towards the camera has been the most talked about stunt of recent years.

I have never seen the film... but know about that scene from various news items and talk shows etc etc etc

@sheepdog We'll have to wait and see tomorrow! Woah I didn't realise it had been that long since the first movie.

@gmarkj, @Cleoriff I'll have to give that a look. I know that he broke his ankle but I've not watched the video yet. Impressive he got up and carried on after.

@Martin-O2, I saw Tom Cruise on the Graham Norton show promoting the film, which had yet to be completed because of his accident. He explained what happened and said he actually heard the bone crack as he hit the building, so knew something was wrong! And then to see the clip is both awe inspiring and sickening at the same time. That this man, now in his 50s, continues to do his own stunts, breaks his ankle and continues on; with his foot at a rather odd angle. He may not be the greatest actor but boy does he have some guts. You have to admire him for that, if nothing else.

And I can't wait to see the latest in the MI franchise. I've all the other films. And his stunts, cause I know they're really him and not some stuntman always puts my heart in my mouth.

I like Tom Cruise.

He appears to be a lovely man. At premieres he always stops to talk to his fans. I saw that Graham Norton show @Glory1 and he is a brilliant guest. Seems to be so down to earth

When he was on a previous GN show one of the guests said he was her Mum's absolute favourite.

He asked her to call her Mum and then took over the phone...they put it on speaker and you should have heard the Mother...she couldn't believe it. So yes, he is a bit short for my liking ...but a nice bloke nonetheless...
