What was the last film you watched?

[Mystic Mock]

Yesterday I watched Rebel Moon Part One.

I actually liked it for the most part, yes the Film does follow Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life's lyrics of "people of the world" in the casting department, so for example members such as Alf and LT want to steer well clear of this Film.:laugh:

And personally I do believe that there was a character that was underdeveloped in the Film, and without spoiling exactly who it is, they won't be returning for the sequel, which meant that the character was kind of a waste of time imo.

However I would say that I thought that the action was fun, the villain was really good (kudos to both Rebel Moon and Dune 2 for bringing back iconic villain performances again) and I do think that the Film establishes it's story and lore reasonably well.

Do I think that the Film is a masterpiece? No.

Do I think that the Film is over hated? Imo yes, there have been worse Films that I have seen over the years, a recent one for myself being The Conjuring.

And my Dad was saying that there should be a Video Game based on Rebel Moon, and whilst I agree with him that it could be a fun idea, I do also wonder how long it would take before the western Video Game developers would decide to make Sofia Boutella's character model look ugly? Because she is an attractive woman imo that could be marketed in a similar way to Lara Croft, but we all know what western developers are like today in the Video Game industry.

But if they could actually faithfully recreate the characters of Rebel Moon, then yeah I'd be with my Dad on cheerleading for a Video Game adaptation, the world is there for it after all.

Nope……it’s a bit of a slower paced sci fi/horror but it still brings that creepy vibe very nicely and I like that when it just more toys with you and not so in your face alien people…I liked the brother and sister two leads as well and their dynamic…all in all around a 7/10, I reckon…

[Nicky91]

Keeping Up with the Joneses


remains a good fun film, with Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot, Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher


a spy comedy :love:


with Patton Oswalt as the bad guy :fan:

[Oliver_W]

Rock and Rule.

7/10

An animated film from the 80s, set in a post-apocalyptic world. It's okay, the best thing about it being the songs. Has performances by Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Cheap Trick...

[Zizu]

Tully

Great watch with an amazing twist .,

Trigger warning - It was awful, don't watch it 2/10

[Nicky91]

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

8.5


very enjoyable, however i have to give some criticism here and there (yes shocking i know from someone usually positive about many things)
Kong's Armor, gave me transformers vibes


that said
the visuals once again stunning, especially Mothra's scenes near the end, and all of Godzilla's scenes, also a little funny with Godzilla sleeping in the collosseum in Rome


yes i liked it all in all

[Mystic Mock]

No offense, but the title of the Movie already scares me.:worry:

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024)

similar good fun as the previous films



omg John Ashton (Taggart) looks very nice for 76 yrs old, and Judge Reinhold (Rosewood) :flutter: also still looking very nice



Kevin Bacon nice villain role from him



good action-comedy



9.5

[Ray.]

Does Bronson Pinchot have a sizeable role? He was a highlight of the first and third films for many.

[Ammi]

…I have to say that I wasn’t personally a fan of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F…I would probably rate it around 3/10…beyond the first/initial nostalgia feeling, just all very uninspiring in storyline …

[Niamh.]

…I have to say that I wasn’t personally a fan of Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F…I would probably rate it around 3/10…beyond the first/initial nostalgia feeling, just all very uninspiring in storyline …Same, we actually turned it off after around 30mins in

[Mystic Mock]

I haven't seen the sequels yet to Beverly Hills Cop.

But I remember loving the first one.

[Ammi]

Same, we actually turned it off after around 30mins in

…I left it running in the background but that’s very much where it stayed as it didn’t catch or engage any attention at all…the soundtrack/theme song when it started up near the beginning was probably as high a highlight as it got for me…/…very disappointing for a sequel made so many years on from such an iconic movie franchise…although, I don’t think that any of the later ones matched the first one for me…

[Ray.]

Looking forward to the new Nicolas Cage horror film 'Longlegs' that's coming out at the end of the week. It's gotten spectacular early reviews thus far.

[Ammi]

…the Longlegs trailer looks really creepy, ChalkOutlineMan….I'm looking forward to it also…I hope that it’s more scare than gore…

[Niamh.]

The Watchers - Not bad at all 6.5/10

[Mystic Mock]

…the Longlegs trailer looks really creepy, ChalkOutlineMan….I'm looking forward to it also…I hope that it’s more scare than gore…

I think that you'll be in luck as the Gore Horror is out of trend at the moment, or at least from what I can tell.

[Niamh.]

Actually, I think Ammi would like The Watchers as a horror in that case

[Mystic Mock]

Tbh, the Film does sound interesting to me as well Niamh.

It might detox me from my last Horror Movie experience.:laugh:

What did you watch last?

[Ray.]

The film I've heard it be compared to most often is The Silence of the Lambs. So make of that what you will as far as the gore to actual scares ratio lol. Me personally, as far as the Hannibal movies, I always much preferred Manhunter.

[Nicky91]

Silence of the Lambs, you gotta love Ted Levine's gorgeous acting in that as the serial killer


Stottlemeyer :love:



he had a recent good acting role in Big Sky as Horst Kleinsasser, another bad guy role from him



tbh similar to that franchise, Big Sky also had a psychopatic villain in Ronald Pergman, which was such a detailed performance from Brian Geragthy, same how Hopkins put so much detail in the Hannibal Lecter character

[Ray.]

If the rumours are true that Cage is playing a transsexual, then another movie I'm reminded of is Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill, in addition to The Silence of the Lambs comparisons.

May be going to see The Bikeriders in the cinema tomorrow - will report back if I do!

Looks right up my street.

[Ray.]

******-Cage would be great for the memes.

Probably. It has to be said that I do love a good Cage meme. But supposedly he's really quite terrifying in this. He's become quite the darling of the horror genre in recent years, what with Mandy and The Colour Out of Space, etc., etc.

[Mystic Mock]

What did you watch last?

The first Conjuring Movie.

I liked some stuff in the Film, but it just didn't really grab me, and some parts of it just felt too contrived.

[Niamh.]

The first Conjuring Movie.

I was gonna say, it felt like there was a middle portion of that conversation that only you two were privy to. :laugh:

[Ray.]

I finally got around to watching Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F after people in here were talking about it the other day. I actually really enjoyed it. Thought it was a lot of fun. Did it set my world alight? Well no, obviously not. Were the obligatory woke moments here and there a bit groan inducing? Of course. But overall I had a lot of fun with it. Eddie Murphy's still got it imo. He was utterly hilarious. Disappointed we didn't get to see as much of Rosewood and Taggart as in the first few, but that was half-expected on my part.

[Mystic Mock]

[Nicky91]

Descendants: The Rise of Red (2024)


lovely 4th film


Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts, strong performance, also very funny



fun facts

Chloe's father ''Charming'' is played by Paolo Montalban and Cinderella played by Brandy, reprising their roles kinda from the 1997 disney film cinderella



cool songs and choreographies too :clap2: Kenny Ortega what a legend he truly is



very enjoyable from the first second to the last :love:

[Nicky91]

whoever done the castings also for the younger versions of Maleficent, Hook, Hades


perfectly looking like their older counterparts :clap1:



whoever selects the music, also fabulous work being done there, fits the characters, scenes very well


Descendants is really Disney in top form levels of family entertainment

[Beso]

3 good films on tv tonight.

[Cherie]

We watched the new '' A Quiet Place' yesterday, it was an easy watch, bit cheesy in places, Frodo the cat was the star

[Livia]

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Really enjoyed it 9/10.

[Ammi]

…The Batman……It’s strange because the movie has such a high rating but I found it slow and draggy and not a good Gotham ride at all…I’m not going to rate it, I just wasn’t keen, personally…

[Ray.]

I agree, Ammi. I liked it when it first came out, and there are still certain things about it that appeal to me, but overall I've massively cooled off on it and feel mixed about it at best. I do think it's tremendously overrated. I really dislike how every modern filmmaker seems so keen to suck all the fantastical and larger than life qualities out of the character and reduce it downt to being 'a crime movie that happens to have Batman in it'. It's been a problem since the Chris Nolan movies, good as they were. The Affleck stuff was admittedly a bit of a break from all that, but they were also shite. :laugh:

The Burton movies are still closest to my ideal portrayal of Batman. Schumacher's Batman Forever is also pretty underrated imo.

[Niamh.]

The Fabelmans - I liked it but it felt a bit unfinished to me, kind of ends just before where it should take off almost, I know it was more of an early life type film but I would still have liked to see him get succesful etc 7/10

[GoldHeart]

Wonka - Much Better than I thought,and actually funny and whimsical, was a good cast aswell . Surprisingly Hugh Grant fitted in well as a Oompah Loompa :laugh:.

The Holdovers - Interesting movie, Paul Giamatti & Da'Vine Joy Randolph very well cast . And I think this will be a breakthrough for Dominic Sessa. This movie was a mix of bittersweet drama & emotion.

[Ray.]

Apocalypto. I remember coming out of a move and seeing the poster for this in the hallway of the cinema and being really intrigued. Regrettably, I was much too young to see it. :laugh: And for whatever reason, I never felt that much enthusiasm to actually seek it out and watch it in all the years since, despite admittedly still being vaguely interested. Finally summoned up the energy to watch it this morning. Great, engaging film that held my interest for the entirety of its just over 2 hour length. Quite brutal and depresssing at times, but that's the nature of the beast when it's a film dealing with the fall of a civlisation and its supplanting by a technologically superior race.

[Ammi]

…oh apologies, I’ve just seen this ChalkOutline….yeah, I’m really not sure what I thought of it because it just wasn’t what I expected and it didn’t feel…(…for me..)…as though it had any soul…that’s something that previous Batman movies/stories have always felt for me…I am now thinking, though…that maybe I should go back for a re-watch and see if it was just not what I expected but still a good movie …ughhhh, it’s so long, though…I’m not sure when I could give that time commitment again for a while….

[Ray.]

Yeah the length was another issue for me. I remember some people saying that it didn't feel it's near 3 hour length...well, it did for me lol. And then some. I remember checking my watche more and more as the film drew to a close. Never a good sign.

[smudgie]

.

Green Book.
Watched it last night/this morning.
Absolutely fascinating.
I knew quite a bit about Doctor Shirley, but to see it on film was amazing.

[Livia]

Arthur the King, Mark Wahlberg. True story... Uplifting, enjoyed it very much. 9/10

[Ammi]

…yeah, same …I was restless and wandering off in thoughts after probably around and hour …and I don’t think that I really fully engaged again, which is why it felt so draggy, I think…the other thing was the soundtrack, it wasn’t that it wasn’t a good soundtrack but it felt too dominating in many places and felt as though it was more prominent than the visuals and storyline, you know…

[Ammi]

The Iron Claw….…totally absorbing but truly tragic and heartbreaking…the cast was excellent and I’m so glad to know of Pam and Kevin’s life now …10/10….:love:…

[Niamh.]

The Snowman - It was alright 6.5/10

[Niamh.]

Oh also rewatched Unhinged, hadn't seen it in years, great edge of your seat film, so tense 8/10

[BigSister]

Fishermen's friends
Cute film and really enjoyed it. Would give it 8 out of 10

[Ammi]

…A History of Violence……I found it really intense and absorbing and Viggo Mortensen has come a long way since Aragorn days, he’s such a versatile and watchable/likeable actor…there was aspects of the storyline that was kind of…ok, we’ve been here before and nothing new to see, type thing…but I think it was a very layered movie in its characters and its storyline …it wasn't the action type movie that we often see with that type of story of someone having a past that those around them aren’t aware of…

…I liked how it explored that aspect of his son that was drawn to violence in his own reactions to the bully…having ‘violent capabilities’ that scared him, really…that he himself also ‘tried to avoid being in any situation of violence and always aimed for the passive responses…even without him having that past that his father had…just being scared of himself, really and what he felt was ‘inside him’….exploring an ‘inherent gene’…?….and that family connection also with Joey’s brother, Richie…hmmmm, the blood of violence running through the family…?…

…William Hurt was really underused in a way but also perfectly cast and just always excellent as his character…but yeah, very absorbing and a bit different from the movie it could have been and many have been that have gone before…8.5/10, I think…

[Vanessa]

[Ammi]

Baltimore……I saw a review of this, saying it was dreadful…:laugh: and a story/movie that could be told in 5 minutes …but I found it interesting, Imogen Poots as Rose Dugdale was very good in showing someone who was completely radicalised and completely lost in ‘her cause’ …7/10, I reckon…

White Chicks - It was basically everything that modern Comedy isn't.

- Funny
- Entertaining
- Likable characters
- Outrageous

Qualities that make a good Comedy, White Chicks actually has it.

I highly recommend that today's Comedy writers go and watch the Film more than anyone else.

But it is a really funny Movie imo.

..A Man Called Otto……it was kind of a predictable story that has been done so many times before but Tom Hanks and the whole cast lifted it to such an endearing level…just very lovely and very moving, really…9/10…:love:…

[Ammi]

…Cold Comes the Night……also not really anything different in its storyline but very well cast…Alice Eve and Brian Cranston both made it very watchable and ticked along nicely …6/10…

[Mystic Mock]

I watched American Psycho a few days ago.

Brilliant Film imo, I will honestly never forget Patrick Bateman.

[Ammi]

…The End We Start From……I liked it, Jodie Cromer is always a great watch and I felt that it really captured the beginning of an apocalypse world so well…it felt chillingly real…8/10…

…Miss Meadows….a little slow at times but also deliciously dark and Katie Holmes was perfect as the perfect and deadly Miss Meadows…8/10…

I watched it at the weekend, I was really looking forward to it but I thought it was shite tbh, wasn't at all scary and couldn't warm to any of the characters enough to care about them, Gav thought the same. Seems we might be in the minority as it has gotten good reviews but :shrug:

'Dog' with Channing Tatum. Really enjoyed it, although I did have to Google whether or not the dog died before I could watch it. Three beautiful Belgian Malinois played Lulu, the star of the film. Funny and poignant. 9/10.

[Ammi]

Burden……it was an interesting take on someone who was ‘born into’ and conditioned from childhood into a KKK family …it did make you think a lot but I think it could have been more, I won’t do any spoilers, but….it was interesting take that I feel, could have been done a lot better and more thought filled than it was…6/10…

I liked it but I didn't love it. When thinking back on it, it's a movie I struggle to have strong feelings about either way. The bait and switch with regards to the plot and Cage's motivation was well done, but I didn't care for the twist of being a Satanic possession movie. Generally speaking, that's just not my kind of horror.

Similarly, I recently watched The First Omen after hearing such good things about it. I thought that was an overhyped piece of shite. :laugh: The only great part was when Damien was finally born and the classic Jerry Goldsmith latin chant kicked in.

[Mystic Mock]

The Last Witch Hunter - I personally really enjoyed it.

Yes it probably could've done with a longer runtime to finesse certain areas of the plot.

But overall it was a solid 8/10 Movie for me, it had good action scenes, likable characters, and interesting lore.

Apparently a sequel is happening.:dance:

[Ammi]

…Cobweb……it wasn’t really anything unpredictable but it was creepy and sinister and an absorbing watch with all of the characters well cast and uncomfortable and creepy and all that jazz…7/10…

[Ammi]

Fantastic movie! Another gem from A24.


…it was so incredibly moving how it showed grief ‘from the other side’, you know…not anger or unresolved or revenge or anything we see in stories that involve sudden and violent death…but just poor grief and confusion and completely lost…everything the living loved ones feel and go through but from the other side…I’ve never seen that done before and it was so emotional and how he portrayed and conveyed that to us so incredibly when we never even saw his face or heard a voice…it was just pure and raw….

I actually quite liked the First Omen, i probably enjoyed that more because I didn't realise it was even supposed to be connected to the Omen series until the end :laugh: (yes I know it was called the first omen but omen is also just a word that is likely to be used in any film like that)

[Ammi]

…The Grand Seduction……just a really solid wholesome movie about a harbour town struggling to support itself …it doesn’t rely on anything other than a good story, great and likeable characters to root for and excellent acting…:love:…8.5/10…

I fancied an “easy watch” last night before bed and found a lovely little gem of a film on Netflix.

“Our Souls at Night”, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. Basically about two widowed, lonely, old neighbours who find solace and belonging in each other. Really lovely, gentle film. :love:

…The Water Diviner…this was another find that was actually pretty good, very heartfelt and I think, based on a true story…an Australian man travels to Turkey after the Battle of Gallipoli to try to locate the bodies of his three sons and bring them back to their home country…the scenery is beautiful and a very emotional story, liked it a lot…7/10…

…The Autopsy of Jane Doe……very creepy and very claustrophobic and totally relying on scare and atmosphere and building tension and anticipation, rather than on gore and screen violence…it really did trigger every claustrophobic bone in my body …very well done…6.5/10….

I watched Uglies last night and it was a bit cheesy and silly 5/10

[Ammi]

I watched Uglies last night and bit cheesy and silly 5/10

…it was so layered I thought because other than the horror aspect, there was also that touching on Salem and all of the young females being completely innocent but so horrifically and horrendously treated and how the tragedy of it all was…as well as creating something evil where none had existed in the first place, for the horror story aspect…she wanted others to experience what she had suffered in her tortures and continued to suffer endlessly because what had been created was immortal suffering and pain….so tragic and horrifically sad…

[Ammi]

…Felon……a prison life story that was really very good and it was lovely to see and feel the screen presence of Val Kilmer…another movie which was just a random choice but was a complete gem…obviously brutal because of the content but very well done with solid characters…7/10…

Inside Out

Was decent. I mainly watched it because a friend said her therapist recommended it to her when she was in a bit of a slump and she wanted to share it with me. So that was my good deed for the day. Pixar's one of those cases where there's a special place in my heart for the stuff that came out when I was a child (e.g., Toy Story, A Bug's Life), but where I just can't summon up as much enthusiasm for the later stuff, no matter how good they might turn out to be. I liked Inside Out well enough, but I didn't love it.

[Mystic Mock]

Inside Out was too dreary imo, it didn't understand how to be an entertaining kids Movie.
Ray.

I watched the first Final Destination a few days ago, and I really enjoyed it.

But I remember liking the third one when I was younger, so I'm not too surprised that I liked the first one.

Well, all I'll say is that I definitely didn't like it nearly as much as my friend. :laugh: But sometimes you've got to pull your punches a bit when it's someone you care about, caring about something so deeply, etc.

On the other hand, all the Final Destination movies are fun in their own way. IIRC, the third movie is a fan favourite on account of all the black comedy in it. Growing up with the series, my personal favourite was the first movie and how seriously it took its premise. I'll have to rewatch them again at some point. So that could change. I think the second movie is usually held up as the series' pinnacle.

[Ammi]

ray…I haven’t seen Inside Out, I haven’t got around to it but for a Pixar movie I would recommend Coco, that’s such a lovely watch…

[Ray.]

I'm planning on rewatching a lot of Pixar stuff in the coming weeks anyway, Ammi. I think that's one of the few that passed me by. So I'll be sure to pay special attention to that particular one as per your recommendation. ;) And if it's terrible, I'll never forgive you. :joker:

https://sitgesfilmfestival.com/sites/default/files/styles/landscape_616x424/public/2022-07/hatching-film.jpg?h=4ebabbaa&itok=daUIajjR

It was recommeded by a friend. It was okay. Rather silly in parts and a bit amateurish, acting wise and script wise. But I sat through it.

A Finnish film, with English subtitles.

5.8/10

[Ammi]

…..Wolfs……a comedy thriller that didn’t really offer any thrilling bits or hit those smiles because it was all a bit too predictable and offered nothing new and just really chugged along ….Austin Abrams though was very endearing in his character, he’s not someone that I was that familiar with so it was an introduction to him…:love:…5/10…

such a weird yet enjoyable film, a real Yorgos Lanthimos signature type same as Poor Things but different


Willem Dafoe & Emma Stone love scene :umm2: :joker:

People often knock Tom's acting, saying he's all action but no substance to his acting.

But in Vanilla Sky I think his performance is awesome. Particularly the 'mask' scene.

Oh and Ammi I have checked out The Autopsy Of Jane Doe today, not long after I woke up.:joker:

I liked the Film for the most part, I do think that the ending could've been better, but overall I would score the Film between a 7.5-8/10.

I did enjoy the Film, it had good tension without over-egging it, but weren't too scarce either.

I always find the witch trials period of history to be sad, so many innocent women killed over a mad conspiracy theory.

[Ammi]

I always find the witch trials period of history to be sad, so many innocent women killed over a mad conspiracy theory.

…yeah, I agree…the nod to Salem was very, very sad…and not only that those young girls were killed but the method of Jane Doe dying as well…the torture that she endured in her death by those who felt that they were ‘killing evil’ while their actions in themselves were incredibly evil and monstrous…

[Ray.]

Yeah but you've gotta figure in how many actual witches they killed during that time, too. So it's not all black and white. :smug:

Oh Jane Doe definitely got a death that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's fascinating to see how some people can do monstrous things, and not even register in their head that what they might be doing is evil, the witch trials is a prime example of that imo.

[Mystic Mock]

…Nothing But the Truth……it was really quite an old movie, around 2008 I think…but somehow it’s one that I completely missed and it was such a great move…great cast and great/gripping storyline, it almost felt like a true story but it wasn’t…it’s about a journalist who exposes and reveals a secret CIA agent but when ordered by a Special Prosecutor in the courts…she won’t reveal her source and that’s the crux of the whole story and it carries it so well…Kate Beckinsale, Matt Dillon, Vera Farmiga, Angela Bassett…all terrifically cast…8.5/10, loved it…:love:…

Devil Doll - 1964.

I started watching the new Salem's Lot movie 2022(24). It was okay for the first 15 minutes but it seems everything that was memorable about the 1979 mini series movie, has just been packed into this new remake.

What I mean by that, all the dialogue, the tension, the mystery, has been deleted in favour of a past paced story, which leaves you thinking why so fast?

I stopped watching it at 42 minutes. I will return to it, but it just moves so quickly from scene to scene it was getting on my nerves.

Speak No Evil - I hadn't realised this was a remake of the 2022 Danish film

they kept it very similar so I was expecting the same terrible ending but they changed the end in this new one, I was so happy with that.

Fantastic, disgusting, horrifying, poignant, brilliant. A modern horror classic.

Nightmare before Christmas:love:

[Niamh.]

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice I liked it a lot, was a bit worried because I love the original so much but they did a great job 7/10

[Jessica.]

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - 7/10
It was really enjoyable, I liked it better than the first one, I loved the music and I was worried that I wouldn't love it at the start but it got better and better.

[Benjamin]

Just started watching Margaux. Will rate it soon.

[Benjamin]

Ok was awful. 2.5/10 at best.

[LaLaLand]

Woman of the Hour on Netflix. Was just added yesterday

Starring (and directed by) Anna Kendrick, it’s based on the true story of American serial killer called Rodney Alcala who appeared on the show “The Dating Game” (Blind Date pretty much) back in the late 70’s during his killing spree. Anna plays the woman who picks him on the show.

I thought it was really great. 8/10.

[Ammi]

…oh snap LaLaLand, I watched that yesterday evening too…

Woman of the Hour……obviously a chilling true story which was very well done as it really put is in the terrified place of his victims in those awful moments of realising the danger they were in…and also the helplessness…I mean, I really felt that…Rodney Alcala was maybe the original ‘incel’ but his ‘hate’ wasn’t spoken, he was also all charm, really…his victim count was horrendous…a terrifying story of a ‘monster’ and very well done…I think it deserves a 9/10 for his victims and to have that story told…

Annabelle Comes Home (2019)

:love:


great sequel about the creepy doll

[Ammi]

..Stake Land……a zombie type vampire post apocalyptic story that kicked ass…it didn’t really hold anything new in that it was The Walking Dead with vampires really and they’re much faster, you can’t out walk them…there was also still small pockets and colonies of people/societies without law…anyways, I loved it…it just zipped along and non stop Acton and good characters…I think there might be a Stake Land 2 as well….7.5/10….

[Niamh.]

Smile - It was a re watch, decent enough 6/10

[Cherie]

Still Water

Excellent

[Vanessa]

Watched Smile as well. I love that movie.
The atmosphere gets so tense! 8/10 and can't wait to see the sequel.

Watched Terrifier (2016) and Terrifier 2 (2022) over consecutive weekends. Really enjoyed them, proper gory, but parts were pretty funny. Art the Clown is hilarious and twisted. Want to go and see the 3rd one that's currently out in cinema.

…I watched Stake Land 2 and also enjoyed it, both movies just zipped along nicely as most post apocalyptic zombie vampire stories do…they have more of a vibe of a series than being a movie production…like a two part pilot leading to a series…another 7.5/10…

The Substance

8/10

Brilliant (and horrific!) film, highly recommend.

I suggest you watch it without any research or spoilers, go in dry.

[Niamh.]

Army of the Dead - didn't get great reviews but I enjoyed it 6.5/10

[Ray.]

Terrifier 3.

I'm kind of mixed on the first two, but I had so much fun with this new one. The Christmas setting works perfectly for the movie and serves up a really warm and cozy backdrop for all the gore and mayhem to take place. For fans of black comedy, it's hilariously grim. The violence is so over the top as to be cartoonish and laugh out loud funny. I already think it's one of the better Christmas horror movies.

[Mystic Mock]

A few days ago I watched Goodfellas for the first time.

It was very good imo, especially as it started to escalate.

[Ammi]

Rob the Mob…….the workings of the mafia/mob a d that type of genre are not generally my vibe but true stories very much are and this was a true story…I don’t want to give away any spoilers so won’t say anything of the storyline …but it was cast very well and an interesting true story…7/10…enjoyable to watch and two very likeable lead characters…

[Ammi]

Duel……2016 movie, as I think there are a few movies with that same title…Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth and Alice Braga all excellent..:love:…bleak and brutal and gripping and some great backdrops…8/10…

[Nicky91]

The Boogeyman (2023)


very enjoyable Stephen King horror

[Mystic Mock]

Batman Begins - I have never watched it before (yes I watched The Dark Knight first all of those years ago lol) but while Batman begins is nowhere near the level of The Dark Knight, I do still believe that it's a decent Film imo.

Especially as it goes along, it warms up quite nicely.

The Apprentice, 10/10 great soundtrack as well as old footage off NYC

Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong are just wonderful, hopefully there is an Oscar Nom in there somewhere, whether you love or hate Donald J Trump ...great movie Alf Crimson Dynamo Beso

Donnie Darko

Beautifully depressing. And set on Halloween, too, which is incidental to my rewatch today.

[Beso]

Oh the cinema..

Carved (2024)

very enjoyable horror film


quite a lot of funny death scenes too


you kinda sympathize with the Killer Pumpkin somehow in a few sceneseven one moment when it was touching some carved pumpkins with its vines, shedding a tear along with it



also stars Chris Elliott (famous from being in many comedies, such as Groundhog Day) in one of his best roles to date, so very well in character, even with the accent and everything :laugh:




lead role was for actress Peyton Elizabeth Lee (Prom Pact, Doogie Kamealoha M.D) great acting work too

[Livia]

Halloween, the original, in respect of it being, well... Halloween. Hadn't seen it for ages, classic scares 7.5/10

[Nicky91]

Cheaper by the Dozen (2003)

been a while since last time i watched that one

[Alf]

Went to watch 'Heretic' on Friday.

7/10

[Niamh.]
