Designer1 Posted June 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2017 Very interesting movie from Bong Joon Ho (The Host / Mother / Snowpiercer / Memories of Murder) Great cast, a very eclectic tone and a nicely layered story with some genuinely emotional moments. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Batman Lego Movie was a lot of fun. Arguably better than the first too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it but I thought it was louder and messier than the first one which meant I didn't think it was as good but I'm far more likely to watch it again cos I'm sure there's stuff that I'm going to have missed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The Man Who Fell to Earth was on last night at the local contemporary gallery so my friends and I went. I love Bowie, but this film is absolute shite. I know it's of its time being from the early seventies but Jesus film and visual storytelling have come a long way since then. They took an alien film and made it about corporations and the government. The flashbacks to his home planet are laughably bad and their interpretation of alien life is just ridiculous and embarrassing. The story is cack and it goes on for far too long. After seeing Don't Look Now and realising what a steaming turd that film is, my opinion is Nicholas Roeg is a garbage director who stole a living. Needless to say, I didn't like it. Baby Driver next week though. Really excited for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted June 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2017 Well that was terrific fun. Slick, funny and entertaining with Wright reining in some of his usual director 'box of tricks' to the benefit of the overall film. Recommended. Absolutely superb soundtrack too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it in over 10 years but I think its a good film. He directed walkabout as well which was very good Edited June 29, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Watched the most recent Terminator again yesterday. While the premise is not terrible it's delivered so poorly. Glossed to appeal to as many as possible and to build the brand. 1st film was essentially a sci-if slasher film. 2nd was big budget but still gritty. Rise of the machines, Salvation and Genisys all are too glossy as well as poor story lines. Calling arnie "pops" throughout all of the last one, **** dreadful. cant see Cameron doing anything with franchise, he had so many Avatars coming out his arse he's forgotten what it's like to make a proper film.

But it certainly changed the life of the late Kim Peek for the better, whose own story is far more interesting than the film. https://youtu.be/DLpCfHH1OVU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Bedevilled Bleedin' hell! Another cheery bit of Korean cinema! Excellent and very violent. Disturbing as well. One part psychological drama... and one part gore laden revenge film. Great acting performances throughout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
