Once upon a time in America is like a fairyrale of a gangster film. Beautiful, violent picture.

Watched “They Look Like People” on Prime this morning. Really enjoyed it actually. Low-budget psychological horror but

Spoiler:

more “psychological” than “horror” really. Quite an accurate and interesting look at schizophrenia - MUCH more so than how most films that try to portray it.


More specific spoilers spoilers follow, including ending spoilers that ruin the suspense;

Spoiler:

i.e. they portray Wyatt as a relatively normal seeming guy the majority of the time, just one with paranoid ideas who hears voices and experiences visual disturbances sometimes, and he often shows self-awareness of his delusions but they “convince” him most of the time.

Also - crucially - he never actually harms anyone and the suggestion seems to be that when it comes right down to it, he isn’t capable of actually harming anyone, even himself. What made this one really fascinating for me was that it’s a horror film where no one, at all, actually gets hurt and ends on a really quite optimistic note.


Very much worth a watch, 8/10

Its oddly better now than I remember though.

I just bought 1917 and Le Man's 66 I haven't seen either yet

The girl who served me in the shop said that she "absolutely loves that film, and that she's not even into motor racing" referring to Le Man's 66.

I'll watch both later.

Both very good pictures. I'd recommend both to be watched if you haven't yet. 1917 I enjoyed more, it's probably a film I could watch a few times.

Blade Of The Phantom Master - It's a Korean-Japanese Anime Film that's in a similar vain to Berserk and Claymore.

To me it's a 10/10 Film it had good characters, two interesting stories (especially the island stuff) the only unfortunate thing is the Film never got a sequel which it clearly needed at the time because it only felt like the story had just started.

Overall though great Film.

Broken Arrow (on Disney+'s Star)

The film's main themes include the theft of two American nuclear weapons, the attempts of U.S. military authorities to recover them, and the feud between Travolta and Slater's characters


starring John Travolta, Christian Slater



Travolta in one of his most crazy roles :laugh: also great acting from Christian

Yeah it was a very good watch, up there as one of the all time great War movies for me.

Livia 11-11-2021 09:49 AM

A Time To Kill.

Made back in he 90s I've always missed it before. What a film though... Stars Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey Donald Southerland, Kiefer Southerland, Patrick McGoohan, Brenda Fricker... It's a long time since I've enjoyed a film this much. 9/10

I tried to watch Dangerous, a 2021 movie starring Clint Eastwood's son, Scott.

I'm sorry to say I am a huge fan of Clint but his son couldn't act for toffee. He has just one expression, bewilderment. Perhaps because he can't believe he's getting paid to act. Also sorry to say Scott is only in movies because of his father. If it weren't for Clint, Scott wouldn't be in films.

But this film Dangerous was awful. I switched it off 30 minutes from the end. No point wasting any more time on it. It was dull, badly scripted and Scott's acting was appallingly bad.

1/10.

Fascinating way of filming as well ..

Why did Sam Mendes make 1917 look like it was shot in a single, continuous take ?

The director wanted his World War I drama to feel more like “a ticking-clock thriller” than a war movie.

I watched "Tenet" last night/early hours of morning.

I fell asleep half way through.


I've decided to take the plunge into the superhero scene and have just bought the four Avengers movies. I will likely watch the first two tonight and the last two maybe on Wednesday night.

Tenet was terrible, tried way too hard to be clever

Just a brief warning that the final two Avengers movies won’t make a huge amount of sense without seeing (as a bare minimum) Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Doctor Strange Thor Ragnarok and maybe Ant Man 2. Actually you could probably skip Ant Man 2, the final Avengers film has enough exposition to figure out the basics of what happened there. Maybe even Ragnarok. But Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Doctor Strange are sort of vital to a lot of the Infinity War and Endgame plot.

I’d say watch the first 2 and if you like them enough to continue, grab those two films before the final two :hee:.

Guardian of the Galaxy 1 is just a fun watch stand-alone anyway, lots of nice early 70’s music for you Alf.

Well you've thrown a spanner in the works for me there.

As it happens Guardians of the Galaxy was on my to watch list if I enjoyed the Avengers movies.

Would you say Avengers Assemble is a good enough starting point to get into the Superhero scene, or would you recommend I should watch films like "Hulk" "Iron Man" ect, first?

The audio for the film was terrible, I could hardly understand what was being said and it was being said too quickly.

Nicky91 14-11-2021 01:36 PM

It’s objective fact that The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie ever made.

I like the 1980's version because it's the one we always watched when i was a kid so it's the most nostalgic but we end up watching the Jim Carey 2009 version most years now because it's the one that my kids grew up with


Finch - I loved this film 8.5/10
