Wasn't The Thing in The Munsters? Edit: it was in The Addams Family. 

Not sure, I haven’t seen those either.

Maybe you should stick with the mature rated films like A Bug's Life and Jurassic Park.

Someone mentioned Soul earlier in the thread. I loved that.

Sounds terrifying. Did you have to cover your eyes?

That’s my default position for any film until I’m confident there’s no upsetting scenes.

I thought Soul was decent but nothing special within it's genre.

Solid 8/10 for me. Each to their own I guess.

Darktide - 4/10

 

Halle Berry and great white sharks. Some really good footage of the sharks to be fair and an extra point for Helle Berry in a bikini at times but the acting isn't great. Worth 1 watch if you're bored and fancy, well, Halle Berry and some great white shark action.

Titane - 6389392271 out of what the fuck was that’s?

 

Just your everyday film about a serial killer/motor show piece of tail who gets her kicks having sex with cars.

 

Said tryst leads to becoming impregnated by said car and producing an heir to the automobile.

 

She has a lesbian affair and ends up killing loads more, all the while gestating Herbie, but is then adopted by a steroid freak fireman for no real reason and they contrive to retain her liberty by making her look like a man and act like his son.

 

This is the first forty minutes and it stops becoming a run of the mill french film and somehow gets weirder, without me spoiling it for those intrepid cinephiles looking to search it out.

 

Batshit from start to finish and I’ve no idea if it deserved the Palm D’or, but it’s a fucking riot.

Eternals - Marvel takes a stab at something different and it almost works. It's much more po-faced then the usual MCU stuff and there's bigger questions asked about free will, morality etc. but it, of course, ends in a CGI battle. The deviants were a real weak point, just portrayed as generic monsters, they reminded me of the robot animals from Horizon: Zero Dawn. Gemma Chan was a good leading presence and Kumail Nanjiani has fun with his role. It's a bit too long and takes the long way round on some of the exposition but I was expecting this to be a real dud; it isn't but it's not going to trouble the best MCU films either. 6.5 out of 10

I really wish these film makers and studios started thinking outside the box instead of regurgitation of stories already told.

Yup, that’s the true crime of the French auteurs, always chasing the multiplex crowds.

Game Night.

 

Silly enough, lightweight fun with a fair few proper laughs.

Wrath of Man. Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham take on Bond. It's decent but very confusing. 7/12.

Sounds like a WWE handicap match.

I thought it was ok and a bit less OTT from Statham,which helped.

The Card Counter - 6.8/10

 

Oscar Isaac is great in this but the film tries to incorporate too many genres and ends up being neither one thing nor the other. Still enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing Isaac in other lead roles as he's a cool motherfucker.

To be fair, Michael Bay was one more sequel away from Megan Fox or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley being fucked by a  yellow Camero.

No Time to Die.

 

Goes to shit after Anna De Armas says goodbye. Hardly anything happens till they get to baddy island and even the purpose of that was a bit of a let down.

 

Shame really as Ive loved Craig's run and rated him as the best Bond.

 

Feels like there was a better movie somewhere in there that they changed with the Covid break. You can see when they're standing at a socially distant 2 metres from each other in the London scenes. Esp when they're all having a glass of scotch.

 

What was Phoebe Waller-Bridge gonna bring to a film like this other than an upper middle class feminine element. Was waiting for James to set the table and make the tea when they round went to Q's gaff or have him reading nursery rhymes to the kid.

 

Some great characters that never got anywhere near enough screen time, nice nods to previous Bonds but not one id be in a hurry to watch again.

 

45 minutes too long.

 

Disappointing 5/10 (Rian Johnson does Bond)

Just watched Finch starring Tom Hanks ,a dog and a robot. Just a pointless movie.
