It's cracking, but it isn't.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

 

I can take camp horror, but this was shite, only saved by Gary Oldman, a few decent effects and copious boobage. Coppola had as good a 4 film run as any in cinema history, but Christ did he peak early.

The two Godfathers, The Conversation & Apocalypse Now?

Woman of the Hour

 

Psychological thriller starring Anna Kendrick (directed as well).

 

Better than I was expecting: sort of a "sliding doors" look at a US serial killer, good story, great acting from all three leads (particularly the killer).

 

I'd recommend it.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for that.  Now my wife hates me.  Because I'm a man.

Yep. Hell of a run.

Pretty unbelievable really.

 

I just had a look through his filmography and not convinced he made another great film outside those four.

 

Having said that, I like Rumble Fish & The Godfather part III & have always wanted to see The Cotton Club.

He was a producer on Paper Moon and American Graffiti too.

Rogue 1

For the umpteenth time

An almost criminally underrated film

3rd best star wars film and better than jedi imho 

In those Shite new films the empire,or whatever they are called are Like cartoonish villans.In this they are Like proper nazis who dispassionately commit genocide.

It's always like a war film proper gritty 

And  that vader bit at the end Is the best star wars section ever.

Jen is boss aswell

 

9/10

 

 

[Arniepie]

Alien romelus 

Very good

Obviously nods back to the 1st film and far better than the last 1

8/10

[Mook]

The Juror

 

Mid 90s caper where Demi Moore is on a jury trying a mafia head honcho & Alec Baldwin is the hitman tasked with 'persuading' her to get a not guilty verdict. A bit daft but entertaining enough. 6.5/10

 

The Chamber

 

Another mid 90s one where Gene Hackman is a racist, child murderer on death row & his grandson is his lawyer in the last few days. Fair to middling effort with the usual masterful Hackman performance. 7/10

[NoelM]

Small Things Like These, a new Irish film starring Cillian Murphy. A pretty harrowing story about the Magdalene laundries in 1980s Ireland. Murphy is superb as always, also a chilling performance by Emily Watson as the reverend mother.

8.5/10.

I watched it first time on an airplane, on another passenger's screen without the sound.

 

And understood the entire movie.

 

A revamped silent movie. I was impressed.

 

Still am. Great movie.

 

 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Caddo Lake

 

A girl goes missing in the Bayou, with echoes of a previous disappearance.

 

Really enjoyed it.

 

7.5/10

[John102]

The Creator 6/10

 

Thought it was decent.

[Pidge]

Tinker tailor soldier spy

 

Been on my list to watch for ages. The lighting choices to bring out the grain of the film, not my favourite. Plot reveals itself very satisfyingly. Not as dry and dour as it's presented, but also doesn't pander to a modern audience. 

 

8/10

I read the book before I saw the film, enjoyed it.

Cracking film that

[Arniepie]

Speak no evil

Cracking thriller

James mccavoy really does play those deranged psychopath roles very well 

 

8/10

[Arniepie]

Joker folie a deux 

 

The 2 leads were excellent in it just thought it was up its own arse somewhat 

 

6/10

[Anubis]

Venom: The Last Dance - 3/10.

 

An object lesson in not letting your star and director write the overall story. Merely serves as a vehicle to introduce Sony’s equivalent of Thanos.

Watched this last night and enjoyed it. One of those films you're better going into knowing nothing about it. Seemed to borrow quite a lot from the TV show Dark, but that's not a bad thing.

Miller said he wanted to make the loudest silent movie ever. It's worth checking out the black and white release of it. Despite the colours of the film being so beautiful, it works surprisingly well in black and white. I still can't get over the amount of physical effects were involved in making Fury Road, and nobody was killed.

[Harry's Lad]

Lee.

 

The story of the experiences of female wartime photographer Elizabeth 'Lee' Miller.

 

Winslet is excellent.

 

An engrossing 8/10.
