Yeah me too, I was never a massive Elvis fan but it was interesting to hear his story as he's such an icon. It's very sad for such a massive star that he never toured outside of America. Playing years on end in Vegas for an artist like that must have been soul destroying

Watched The Whale last night, it felt very much like watching a play, probably because there was only 6 actors in the whole thing and it was shot in just one location. That kind of made it feel more intense I think, the acting was fantastic, especially from Brendan Fraiser, Sadie Sink & Hong Chau. Really good film.

Critics imo have to be taken with a huge pinch of salt as they have agendas a lot of the time, and even without agendas they're not very good at reviewing Movies that are a little bit different to what they normally like as a preference.

Like most Critics love really, really artsy and "sophisticated" things, according to them it's bad quality otherwise.

Disney's Pinocchio (2022)
7/10

Among the best of the Disney Remakes, though that obviously ain't saying much :joker:

All of the characters were good, Blue Fairy sounded beautiful, the film kept the "fairytale feel" quite well, etc.

My only real complaint would be it was a bit too long, none of the additions or changes from Disney's original really added anything.

Like, it was cute how Pinoc wouldn't talk to the girl from the show unless she used the puppet etc, but it wasn't better than more Fairy, and it didn't make for good pacing.

Speaking of pacing, some of the individual scenes aren't well paced. Like, Lampwick's transformation was a bit too quick and "matter of fact", while others (like the mallet on head scene) were a bit draggy.

But all in all I actually liked the Film, in particular Simon, Edgin & Xenk from the heroes side were my favourites.

There is a fun antagonist performance in the Film as well, but I won't spoil that as the Film will make it fairly obvious who the villainous characters are anyway.

But yeah I liked the Film, it isn't the best Film ever made imo, but I thought that the Film was fun, which I'll gladly take.

I personally enjoyed it more than The Witcher, it felt better structured to me, especially as you go further into the Film.

I can't blame you with The Witcher btw, it had the potential to be Netflix's version of Berserk in tone and style, but it just doesn't meet the standard imo due to the Showrunner & Netflix wanting a Teen Fantasy flick, which The Witcher isn't meant to be from when I've seen my Brother play the Games.

Sure, I'm always open to checking Films out.

Yesterday I watched Scream VI, god I forgot how hot Melissa Barrera is.:laugh:

But honestly it was nice to watch a Slasher Film again, and compared to Scream V I would say that the guessing game was harder to 100% guess in Scream VI.

"Beau Is Afraid"

I really enjoyed it, it was certainly... err... gripping, even at its very long 3h run-time, but BOY is it a very very strange film :umm2:.

I'd give it 7.5/10

Not one to watch with the kids :joker:

Reservoir dogs. An absolute classic.
I love this movie so much! 01)10, would give 11 or 12 if I could!

[Mystic Mock]

M3gan - It wasn't for me tbh.

I liked Megan as a possible future Serial Killer icon within the Horror Movie catalogue, but unfortunately we were stuck with more of the "discuss our feelings" and cliched Family Drama segments that just dragged the Film down for me.

I think that I'm going to score the Film a 4/10

Birth/Rebirth - It was...........different, good though if a little gruesome in parts, interesting story/moral dilemma 7/10

The Outsiders. One of my all time favourite movies, with a great cast.
The ending is so sad and heartbreaking :bawling:
10/10 easy

[Oliver_W]

Insidious: Red Door

7/10, maybe 8?

It was well acted, and great directorial debut for Patrick Wilson.

Recap of relevant past movies:
Dalton (eldest son) was an astral projector, and his spirit was being held captive in the astral realm. Spirits and demons were haunting the house, trying to possess his empty body.

Josh (the dad) had been an astral projector as a child, but an opportunist spirit of an evil drag queen had been trying to possess his body when it was empty during his astral trips, so he was hypnotised so he couldn't do it anymore.

His skill was unlocked, and his astral spirit went to rescue Dalton. But the ****** beat him back to his body, leaving Josh lost in the astral realm.

The drag queen used Josh's body to try and murder his wife and kids, but their psychic friend severed the ******'s connection to the real world, allowing Josh to re-take his own body.

Josh and Dalton were both hypnotised again so they could no longer astral project, and the family lived happily ever after.

I liked the lore in the new movie, and the continuation of the Lamberts' story- Josh was left jaded and distant by the hypnosis, and Dalton was afraid of the dark and moody.

Renee couldn't look at Josh without seeing the axe-wielding maniac, and despite being gaslit into thinking it had been a dream, their other son was traumatised and had night terrors.

When starting university, certain things start to unlock memories for Dalton, causing problems for both of them, dun dun DUUUUUNN ....

October is around the corner soon and the new Scorsese movie is coming.

3 and half hours long. I think I might need to buy some weed to get me through it. I've been off it for about two years but I've realised I can't enjoy movies without being stoned.

I don't know how you drug free people get through art without a little boost? It doesn't work for me.

"Sound of Metal" (2019)

Me and Mrs Soldier randomly decided to watch this yesterday on a whim - exceptional film IMO. Very slow paced but not ever boring, brilliantly directed, really interesting cinematography especially sound design. The plot essentially is "An aspiring Metal drummer goes deaf" but the movie is packed with metaphors about love, co-dependence, addiction, acceptance and letting go... done in a way that's both clear and subtle at the same time - nothing feels preachy or shoehorned. 100% recommend.

[user104658]

I would add: may be randomly offensive to anyone with cochlear implants? :think: :joker:

[Niamh.]

A Million Miles Away - It was a decent watch, true story type of film 6.5/10

[user104658]

"Talk To Me" (2022)

Interesting twist on the "ouija board" genre in that 1) it's an embalmed hand thing not a board and 2) it's an Australian movie... which makes a nice change from American and British accents on everything I guess.

I'd say a solid 7/10 in terms of horror films - I can be easily bored by them if they're too predictable. Definitely worth a watch.

[Niamh.]

Oh I watched that one a couple of weeks back, it was good, scary enough

[user104658]

Watched the live action Aladdin on Disney+ as youngest has taken a random liking to those Disney live action remakes :joker:. I actually quite enjoyed it for what it is. Jasmine sort of stole the show, Aladdin himself is fine but a bit flat, just not a leading actor tbh.

Will Smith was OK but Robin Williams is too much to expect anyone to live up to as the Genie. Will Smith was just blue Will Smith at the end of the day.

Songs were fun though and kids enjoyed it.

It's better than the live action Little Mermaid anyway, which they also enjoyed but I say was an absolute travesty! What did they do to Flounder??? I get making them a little more realistic but Sebastian was bad enough... Flounder... that's just a ****in' FISH.

Oh I watched that one a couple of weeks back, it was good, scary enough

The... err... head-banging scene(?) was pretty brutal :omgno:

[Mystic Mock]

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society - Imo the Show is better, but it's still a really good Film.

I would've liked the Major to have been more present in the middle of the Film, but tbf she has a decent twist towards the end of the Film.

Overall I'd score the Film - 8/10, it's a memorable Movie, just with a couple of flaws here or there.

I went to a screening and q&a for The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light a week or so back, which is a film written, directed, composed by and starring Mike Skinner (The Streets). It weren’t great tbh and I had to pay £8 for a pint but got to meet Mike afterwards and hear the new album a week before its release so was a good experience overall.

…one really very emotional and joy filled bit….

…seeing them all at the cinema joyfully singing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang while their beloved Belfast raged outside of those cinema doors…just incredibly emotional but lovely…because it’s so easy to only recall those scarier and ‘worse times’….and forget that there were happy childhoods happening all around also…

I watched this one the day before yesterday as well, all I'd heard about it before I saw it was that it was by the Obamas production company and there was people complaining about it on youtube because of one scene where

The daughter tells her dad to trust no one, especially white people. And you had alot of people saying "oh it's fine to be racist against white people these days" etc etc which tbf there does seem to be a bit of trend where this is definitely the case, I've watched some pretty awful TikToks like that HOWEVER that one clip people are playing is totally out of context, you'd really need to have watched the whole film to see how this makes sense for that character to say. It is a bit of a social commentary film packaged up in an Armageddon movie but imo it showed all the characters flaws not just "the white people"

Anyway I enjoyed it 8/10

[Ray.]

I only like the first one. It was good.

I think the first three are each decent movies in their own way, for what they're going for. Three is the point where it tries veering off into comedy, but four sadly went back on that. I enjoyed the fifth entry for the 'so bad, it's good' factor, and also Doug Bradley. Six was admittedly just trash.

The original (and its remake) were both written by Alan B. McElroy, the same man who wrote Halloween 4, my favourite of the Halloween movies. :hehe:

…yeah, it’s one that really stays with you in thought, long after the movie is over…I think the ‘flat’ bit for me was just the ending of not being entirely certain that they all were reunited in the bunker…but I think the Obama’s input was interesting as well…/especially when connected with that ‘controversial’ quote because in the history of America, he was the only president of colour, hence the quote to not give power to white for me, would be anew beginning of an equal power being the only way forward this time…and with those two families, that’s how it would be for them…it’s sad though if that was a main media focus of the movie when there was so many things to take from it because it’s so reflective of our living world/planet today and how destroyed it’s becoming …one of the more sinister bits for me was the deer who were trying to warn and the flamingoes becoming misplaced also…anyway, yeah…it really hits on so many relevant things that we all think of almost daily….

…Saltburn…it wasn’t hugely unpredictable as it had shades of another movie, I thought…I won’t say which one that is…anyway, it was still very well done and very well acted etc and an absorbing watch…8/10….


I also watched The Highwaymen and found that very absorbing also in the pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde…7/10…

[Niamh.]

I watched Saltburn last night too Ammi. I'm not sure what to make of it, there was some really weird and gross scenes [emoji15]

…it was very Talented Mr Ripley, I thought…?…I guess what it left me feeling is …so what now, then…surely the ‘privilege’ of that life will just now bring him every unhappiness that it brought the family…I guess that was the point….

…it was very Talented Mr Ripley, I thought…?…I guess what it left me feeling is …so what now, then…surely the ‘privilege’ of that life will just now bring him every unhappiness that it brought the family…I guess that was the point….A bit guess, although I'm not sure Oliver was obsessed with Felix like Matt Damons character was in The Talented Mr Ripley? He seemed to be literally going after the money all the time

[Ammi]

A bit guess, although I'm not sure Oliver was obsessed with Felix like Matt Damons character was in The Talented Mr Ripley? He seemed to be literally going after the money all the time

….hmmmm, I’m not sure that it was all for the money though because in the bath scene when he was drinking the bath water after seeing Felix pleasure himself…that felt that his intention had been to have the love of Felix…but he then knew with Felix’ reaction to his lies, that would never be…it felt as though he wanted everything that Saltburn gave/including Felix, who was his obsession…but that Felix and Saltburn also represented everything dislikeable and damaging also…

[Ammi]

…but yeah, maybe it was about the money and the power, type thing…that, that’s more what drove his sexual desires, rather than an obsession with Felix…?…hence the naked house tour in the ending….

Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990)

I didn't like it as much when I was a kid, but over the years I've really grown to love it. Still probably the least good of the first three films, but miles better than the fourth and fifth movies imo. And maybe it's just because I watched With a Vengeance too many times, but lately I've found Die Harder to have more rewatch value for me.

Neem and Ammi must be into weird stuff :laugh:

A few days ago I watched the Death Note 2006 Live Action Movie, so I can't talk tbf.:laugh:

I actually do think that the Death Note Film was decent tbf, not as good as the Anime (for starters it has a rougher start than the Anime) but it definitely is an entertaining watch, and I really liked the ending as it has a new twist that the Anime never did.

Obviously don't expect the twist to be really big, but I just thought that it was clever.

Overall I'd score the Film between a 7.5-8/10, it's in that range for me.

[Ammi]

…My Son……such a good cast and gripping storyline/plot…but the cast felt lost in what didn’t grip in the way that it should have and it all grew into an ending that just felt…flat…I read that it was made during COVID times so filmed with lots of restrictions and that would explain it…but maybe it would have been better to wait and honour the storyline well rather than to have a plot that just doesn’t come together but deserved to …5/10…

Carry On Teacher - 1959 - watched it this morning.

It's a Carry On film but it's a long way from the humour in the later films.

Rather tame in fact. :p

6/10 - but dated.

10 Outta 10 Film.How can it be 10 outta 10?

10 is the highest possible mark you can give it. So that means that you're suggesting that this movie is one of the greatest movies you've ever seen in your life?

Avatar Way of Water

3 hours of pure fun :love: :love: :love: don't get why these films never get nominated for oscars tbh, but then again it's probably not heavy enough content or something, or not too dark


spoiler-free review from me


the acting once again stunning

we luv Queen Kate's reunion with Cameron and same as in titanic, such super solid acting work, very convincing

i always love Cliff Curtis btw, quite a underrated actor, i know him also from The Meg, Trauma as ''Rabbit - the medical helicopter pilot'' and i also liked him in Deep Rising


Sigourney Weaver voice acting as Kiri wow :worship: and as for her video footage material also nice and dream/eywa scene also solid acting work there


10/10

do want to give a higher score but i can't, i also liked it much more than the first one


now as for the heavy spoilers
the scenes with the Tulkun creatures look amazing up to the same standard of a david attenborough documentary vibe that amazing amount for details with the underwater scenes, we stan Payakan :flutter: for saving Lo'ak and allowing Lo'ak to bond with him

Omg

I loved both Avatar movies !!

The Avatar ride in Disney is unbelievably amazing !!

When it initially opened up people were queueing for over 13 hours for the 4 minute experience ( riding a banshee ) !!

The Lodge……it was billed as a horror genre, I think, which isn’t a genre I’m drawn toward… but I liked the synopsis and I would say it’s an equally psychological thriller with horror sprinkles…it was totally absorbing and completely drew you into the story and characters….7.5/10….

[Ammi]

Trapped……this was a 2002 movie but it’s one that I must have missed at the time and hadn’t noticed it on Amazon before…it was one of those ‘hidden gem’ type movies and a really tense thriller …plus Charlie’s Theron who is excellent…7.5/10….
