Late Night With The Devil - 7.7/10

 

Refreshing slant on the horror genre. I loved the idea and the way they made this, really quirky and original.

 

Been looking forward to this since the trailer so glad to see a positive initial impression.

Just about to add it to my watchlist but hey, there are 3 films of the same name.

 

Top, middle or bottom @Poor Scouser T ?

The Mechanism is a Brazilian tv series I believe? Two series and very good too.

[Poor Scouser T]

Elephant song might not be everyones cuppa and only gets 6.5 on IMBD but it had me guessing and shattered. Quite slow dark and emotional and carried by the superb acting. Young lad should get an award for it.

Killers of the Flower Moon

 

Been waiting till I got a clear few hours to watch it in one sitting. Came away feeling it was beautifully shot and acted, but a bit, well, odd. The structure gives you no relatable protagonist, but also no mystery. That makes the first two hours a bit of a slog. 

 

The final third, with the FBI, seems like it might turn into more of an investigative procedural / courtroom drama, but any tension peters out quickly because there's nothing to uncover in the core plot. The other murders we witness early on are never mentioned either.

 

It's earnest, and heartfelt, but as a period tale of oil greed it pales next to There Will Be Blood, and as a damming indictment of the treatment of Native Americans it seems strange to not make the wife the central figure.

 

6/10

[Le Duan]

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire - twist my arm and the best I can say is ‘OK’ 6/10. Nothing special. The inclusion of three original Ghostbusters adds nothing IMHO. Also not sure what the point was re James Acaster’s character. Didn’t linger long in the memory and overall. Maybe I’m just a miserable old get these days.

Really want to see this.

Dune 2.

 

Everything this about it is very good - acting, score, story, set pieces… like the first one, it left me a bit cold - I just like it, I didn’t love it.

[John102]

Pulp Fiction 6/10

 

Lots of people appear to like this but its never appealed. After deciding to give it a go last night, it was 2 and a half hours of meh.

[redheart]

Godzilla X Kong The New Empire. Took my son to see this at the IMAX

 

Utterly shit

 

If it was claimed that AI wrote the script then AI would deny it

 

1/10

Room For Rent - 7.5/10. Thai horror on Netflix. Quite creepy in parts. Cleverly told in three segments, with each segment focussing on a different character involved, and providing some deft twists. I enjoyed it.

Dune 2.

 

It's a really good film. Looks and sounds amazing. Did I enjoy it? I don't know. With this and the first one there have been a lot of hours but still not sure I even like it. I think it's because I don't really like any of the characters. 

 

Prefer Flash Gordon, if I'm honest.

 

Saying that, Rebecca Ferguson is stunning.

 

7/10.

[Anubis]

Sorry, not Room For Rent, it’s Home For Rent. Old age catching up with me.

6/10 just for Rebecca.

I took the bairns to see the new Godzilla film, fucking Hell it was brutal.

 

-1/10 because they don't even put eye candy in this shite for the Dads & it was also too loud for me to sleep through.

 

The kids liked it although they also think The Rock is cooler than Clint Eastwood.

[Anubis]

Imaginary - 1/10. A horror film curiously bereft of actual horror or victims. A woman and her step family return to her childhood home, where the youngest starts talking to a stuffed bear, Chauncy, like it’s her new best mate. Chauncy looks less creepy than he does disgruntled. Naturally, Chauncy turns out to be a bitter little twat worthy of a plushie Everton kit. When he does finally assume his big bad form you’ll laugh your head off at how stupid he looks - something you’d sort out with a decent 5 iron. Swerve.

One Cut of The Dead

 

7.5/10  Japanese film, great take on the zombie genre. 

[polymerpunkah]

The Long Riders

 

A retelling of the Jesse James story famous mostly for having four sets of brothers in the starring roles.

 

But it's actually a very good movie, IMO.

 

Simple and straight-forward, with a couple of Peckinpah-inspired shoout-outs, well-shot and acted.

 

It holds up, 45 years later.

Yeah it's good but not epoch defining like it's made out to be. Samuel L Jackson was probably the best thing about it as that was the first time we'd seen him play that type of character, he's parodied it many times since. 

 

I'm not into Tarentino at all, Inglorious is the only other film of his I don't mind. Django at a push.

Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood is my favourite, and I like The Hateful Eight.

A-ha The Movie. A study in bitterness, envy and fame. The good looking one and the keyboard playing one hate the guitarist one who wants to be taken seriously while keeping the money for the BIG hit. 7/10

[SasaS]

Yes, after watching hundreds of films copying Tarantino over the past 30 years we are now at about meh, what so good and inventive about it.

[Bjornebye]

Pulp Fiction is arguably the greatest film of all time you heathens

Emily the Criminal. 6/10

 

Always nice to see Aubrey Plaza. It’s worth a watch, doubt you’d watch it again but a decent enough storyline about her being skint then falling into a world of credit card theft. Juice from Sons of Anarchy is in it as well.
