The Night House - newly widowed woman learns some disturbing things about her former husband. Solid mystery/thriller. 8/10

 

Old Henry - good western with a satisfying surprise toward the end. Tim Blake Nelson is brilliant in it, as is the Dorff, whose late career resurgence I'm very much enjoying. 9/10

 

Dune - standard Villeneuve fare, although not up there with his best, imo. I know nothing of the book, but got the impression a lot was left out here, with the plotting feeling a bit rushed. Maybe the source material would lend itself better to TV format? Defo worth a watch, tho. 8.5/10

 

That new Halloween film - pure shite. A big fat 0 out of 10.

Looking forward to Old Henry now.

 

That Halloween film is ridiculous isn't it? Like really, really bad in every possible way.

The Night House

 

Really good looking mystery, thriller, chiller.

 

Thought the acting was pretty poor though and the story preposterous.

 

4/10 Nodi Fen Real Debrid

 

Sorry @Duff Man

[dockers_strike]

Do You Tube short videos count? I rate this a good 7.5 but I get the feeling she didnt get past a 3!

Night Teeth - 2/10. A Netflix original (who is commissioning this guff at Netflix). Theon Greyjoy tries to take over the Los Angeles vampire underworld via his two henchwomen. It’s crap. Debby Ryan is cute, though.

 

[Anubis]

Gunpowder Milkshake - 1/10. Sky original. Let’s make an ‘action’ film about women assassins killing lots of men. Let’s give it a 1930s noir look. Actually, let’s abandon that a third of the way through and alternate between a current day look and 60s chic because our designe team can’t settle on a uniform look. Let’s make the fight sequences poor. Let’s film most of it on sets and not actual locations as a stylistic choice. Let’s make every character quirky because we think it means they’re humorous, but really they’re just fucking annoying. Let’s realise we’ve wasted some serious acting talent on this shit script. Let’s keep the release low profile because it’s really, really shit.

Old Henry - 8/10

 

Best new film I've seen for a while this one. Always been a fan of Tim Blake Nelson since O Brother Where Art Thou. Great recommendation by @Duff Man as it's gone under the radar.

Dune - 8/10

 

Thought it was excellent, but I suspect it will be like marmite. It won't be for everyone.

[elvis]

Old Henry 8.5/10

Good stuff , thanks to whoever recommended it . 

[Ken Robber]

Had to go see the new animated Addams family today 

 

Just your standard, bland, shite kids film that's been churned out for the Halloween season. Completely unremarkable. 

 

2/10. Extra point because Ace of Spades is on the soundtrack

Not hit amazing numbers at the box office so far, still not convinced we'll see a part 2 despite what WB execs say (though as long as it doesn't lose money there's still hope) 

 

40 mill in the US, though 200 mill world wide is better.

[TD_LFC]

Luckily I was talking shit, Dune Part 2 has been given the go ahead.

 

First film ended in a really weird place so be good to see the film in it's entirety.

The new Mortal Kombat film is better than it deserves to be. 7.5/10.

Funny as fuck that 

[VladimirIlyich]

Old Henry 7/10.

 

Pretty good for a western but some of it was a bit too far fetched.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The Addams family the 1991 version. Great cast and Raul Julia is superb in it. I give it a thing and a half out of 10.

[RedKnight]

Dune - Everything you'd expect from Denis Villeneuve especially if you've seen Blade Runner 2049. Lots of long, stunning shots and loud music and effects. Thoroughly enjoyed this, wasn't bored for any of the 2hr 30m runtime, and found that they'd untangled the story enough to keep you engaged. It's not perfect, it ends abruptly even though the title says 'Part One', and maybe some characters aren't given enough time but, for someone who isn't Timothee Chalamet's biggest fan, I thought he was a good lead whilst Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac are both terrific.

 

Saw it in IMAX and I'd recommend seeing it on the biggest screen possible. 8.5 out of 10

Couple of films recently appeared on Netflix (I should know better really)

 

Hypnosis. I watched this simply because Kate Siegel was in it and the premise was mildly interesting. A woman who has recently spilt from a relationship after a miscarriage and is spiralling with drinking, no job and trying to get her life back in order gets suggested sessions with a hypnotist by her successful friend. Bland, middle of the road thriller which doesn't really do anything. 5/10.

 

The Possession of Hannah Grace. A troubled ex-cop takes a night job in a city morgue (of course she does!), during her first week a body of a young girl is delivered and soon becomes clear something is not right. Very silly and predictable, not at all tense or scary, 4/10, don't bother, instead go watch the Autopsy of Jane Doe which is a so much better film with a similar premise.

There's only so many times I can watch La La Land.

Anatomia Zla 7.5/10

 

A pretty good Polish crime film on Netflix about an hitman. The ending annoyed me though even though it was not a Hollywood ending in any way shape or form.

[Chip Butty]

Dune, is boss, 9/10

 

think Formby point, meets the wanderers, meets the English patient, in space. 
 

Take your own sweets and drinks, trust me.

These are ace, as well.
