Blown Away with Tommy Lee Jones. Not sure if I recommend it. Not because it wasn't good but because I was watching it laying down and kept sleeping in 10 minute intervals. I'm sure it was good though

…Gladiator 2……I was apprehensive about watching because as much as Paul Mescal is one of my favourite actors, I couldn’t see him in that role…but he was very, very good…he did a great job and Denzel also was ever brilliant……the storyline was weak but the cast and the whole visual epic-ery of it made up for that…and it was nice to have some original cast as well…in its own right it wasn’t a bad movie at all…and Pedro Pascal also, a good way to spend an evening…7/10…

Yes I really enjoyed it.
Especially Denzel Washington. That is an Oscar worthy performer. The man is so brilliant.

Alien: Romulus

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!

this is a masterpiece, redeeming the alien franchise by far, compared to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant


also

Spoiler:

that tribute to Ian Holm also a nice finishing touch considering his character Ash was crucial in the first Alien film

the acting work

Spoiler:

well some nice easter eggs towards the first alien films, similar phrases as Ellen Ripley towards the xenomorph, from Rain Carradine and also Andy

the plot in the film Prometheus now makes more sense

Spoiler:

regarding the black blood

also

Spoiler:

the fate of the xenomorph from the first alien has been revealed, to have been recovered by the Renaissance station + also revealed that the xeno's are capable of surviving in outer space

loved it, i am already excited now for the Alien: Earth series to come this summer

I mean Aliens alreadiy did that, what with the Queen stowing herself under the landing gear of the shuttle, near the end of the film.

[Ammi]

…Cocaine Bear……I mean, it was rubbish obviously…but it was fun rubbish with a nod to movies like Jaws …lots and lots of gore, lots and lots of cocaine and a big bear…lots and lots of fun…5/10…

True, but good we got to know what had happened to ''Kane's Child'' after Ripley blew it into outer space

A sense of freedom..a brilliant portrayal of the life of jimmy Boyle.

I didn't bother going to the cinema and paying good money to see it, so I downloaded it last night for free, and as I expected, I didn't like it.

The movie is a pretentious non event. Like many horror movies today the hype is bigger than the enjoyment you may get out of it. I have seen many reviews on YouTube and one stuck out for being so pretentious I couldn't stop laughing how the reviewer called HorrorHands basically bowed down to everything in the movie and he said with a straight face he wished the movie had been longer than the 2 hours 16 it is.

He was sucked into the hype, like many other reviewers.

Let's start with what's wrong with it in my view. The story of Nosferatu is basically Dracula, going back through all the remakes, decades back, countless films. The story is almost unchanged, the scenes one by one the same. There are a few added scenes and characters which are meh and to me of no interest. Prententious and overrated, as is Skarsgĺrd's heavy breathing chain smoking delivery. I didn't like him in this role. He's quite frankly awful.

Depp is there basically because she's the daughter of Johnny. Not a great actress.

The movie is dark, I kept looking for the brightness control. At times I wondered if it was partly shot in black and white. Nope, all colour apparently.

The movie not scary at all. Indeed I had more frights from the recent Salem's Lot version where one of the characters transforms into a vampire, and that movie got slated.

Nosferatu (2024) just 3/10.

Chinatown
8/10

I really liked this film - intriguing story, good performances, and it was shot beautifully.

There was a version of Nosferatu that also came out last year, but was filmed like seven years ago. It was much better, imo.

Directed by David Lee Fisher, with Doug Jones (below!) as Orlock.

Planning on seeing Wicked and another film next week, still choosing which one. Maybe Flight Risk. It has been a long time since I've set foot in a cinema.

Yes go for it. Cinema is great. I love it.

…You’re Cordially Invited……it felt kind of bland and mediocre and lacking in any chemistry between Reece Witherspoon and Will Ferrell for me/they’re both generally favourites of mine as well but it just didn’t work …I liked some of the other characters who for me, shone more brightly than the main characters and could have been bigger parts, some were just more quirky and watchable…5/10…

[AnnieK]

The Gentlemen with Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell and Matthew McConnaughey and Charlie Hunham.
Typical Gut Ritchie movie but Hugh Grant played a great part.
Worth a watch

….Hugh Grant always used to feel like he was playing that same ‘romcom’ type role/like the socially awkward Englishman but always got the lady he loved in the end…but he’s really broken out of that into some great roles…I liked him in The Gentleman, he brought the right comedic vibe to the role…but he also can play very convincing sinister and dark as well…

Yeah I completely agree Ammi. He was also good in Heretic too.

I thought Colin Farrell was brilliant in that film

…Colin Farrell is just generally brilliant (…period…)…in every role he plays……I was thinking the other day that if we did get around to starting up the movie club again this year, I’d quite like a rewatch of Phone Booth…/…that might be the first movie that I saw him in and I’ve only watched it that one time…
