Rate the last film you watched...

I agree with Sasas, I thought the film was hugely overrated for this same reason.

Has anyone seen A Star Is Born? Gonna try and watch it on koi this weekend. Just watched the trailer and it looks brilliant. A few mates have seen it and have all raved about it. Plus, Lady Gaga is fucking gorgeous! I never knew what she properly looked like!

Lady Gaga has always had quite a nice face, despite her largish conk.

 

Really droopy looking tits though & she was on the telly the other night & has clearly been injecting her coupon with a right load of shite & now she looks like a cross between Leslie Ash & that bird out of Gremlins 2...

 

 

Looking at that Star is Born trailer, I think I'd rather pour sulphuric acid into my eyes than watch that bollocks.

Really looking forward to the Peter Jsckson WW1 film , They Shall Not  Grow Old . He has taken historical footage and colourised it and slowed it down to remove the herky jerky aspect.

 

Was premiered the other night but it seems like it is being shown to schools as a freebie and then going straight into BBC1 according to wiki.

Based on a true story so not sure what you mean about 'buy in to the character?' If you mean exaggerated then there is every chance they are as its cinema.

I meant more or less uncritically accept him the way Penn portrays him from the very beginning, which is as a tragic figure, an exceptional person to be admired, even adored, whilst at the same time mostly glossing over the complexities of his character and the whole story. The story, from what I gather, is largely reconstructed and freely presented in the book from bits and pieces of his life, they are not even sure why he starved to death. But even if it wasn't, it's irrelevant, you can take any true story and present it the way you like, you can make a film about Hitler as basically a nice guy who was fucked over by some commies and yanks.

I'm an hour into Red Sparrow. The second hour best be good as so far it's been shite.

[Bjornebye]

Watching Hangover 2 for the 2nd time. Didn't find it that funny the first time (compared to the 1st one) but its actually funny as fuck.

Streisand and Kristoffersen were pretty good even if it wasn't my type of thing.

Money Monster 5/10

 

Thought I'd give this a go as it has George Clooney and Julia Roberts in it. Bit of a rip off of Scrooged but with no comedy and a corrupt Wall Street replaces the Christmas theme.  

[No2]

15:17 to Paris. Desperate movie, 1/10 would be generous but I'm not feeling generous, 0/10.

[Mook]

Things to do in Denver when you're Dead, I've never seen this before & I'm not sure why. Very dated/90s looking film now but enjoyable enough, I thought Walken stole the show (as he so often does) & it could've done without Jimmy/Andy Garcia's overly schmaltzy love interest storyline. 6.5/10.

Yeah, it's not great, but I still like the line "I am Godzilla; you are Japan".

I turned this off and I very rarely turn films off no matter how shite they are. This was hugely shite and I just could not take anymore of its nonsense. 

[SasaS]

Lady Bird 7/10.

Not bad. Could use some Baumbach though. Is this Greta Gerwig's prequel to Frances Ha?

[Red Shift]

'White Tiger' a 2012 Russian war film with English Subtitles. 
A masterpiece. A cinematic feast. I took so much away from this that I won't be the same again.

 

9.5/10

Mile 22.  I'm basing this on the 10 minutes I saw 1/10

 

Fucking dreadful movie with Mark Wahlberg talkingreallyfast like he does in most of his movies .

But that wasn't the main bug bearer , the worst part about it was him fucking about with an elastic band as he's incredibly intelligent and on the edge so twangs it (a lot) to keep calm.

Actually I saw 10 minutes 5 seconds of it as I'd decided after 10 minutes if he does that thing with said elastic band again I was turning it off ...Hence the 5 extra seconds.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I give Mile 22 an 8/10. Quite a niche audience though. There’s lots of things in there that military types will like, but I can see why others, many others, would think it’s shite. 

[Bjornebye]

Just seen A Star Is Born. Fucking brilliant. Loads of talk about Lady GaGa getting an Oscar for it but Bradley Cooper fully deserves one. Arguably the best film I've seen in a good 10 years. 

[Red Shift]

The Exorcist.

Special screening at our local flicks. A different 'cut' - but not advertised as such. I was going to say 'best ever' horror, but I'm not even sure it's a horror film. On the big scree, it was quite riveting again, and both Von Sydow and Jason Miller are both superb, and it strikes me (not thought this before) that it is an early attempt at a 'documentary' style of cinema - succeeding brilliantly. The 5.1 surround, awesome. Immersive. Upon entering Regan's room, one enters another world.....another state.

Didn't realise it is based on a real life exorcism  in 1949

9/10 for me.
