useless Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The Swimmer: A man swims home through his neighbours' swimming pools, and on his journey you learn more about him and his life via his interactions. It reminded me in some ways of Mad Men, so wasn't surprised to read afterwards that it was apparently an influnece on that show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I don’t know why people are excited about the Snyder cut of Justice League. He directed Batman v Superman and that’s dreadful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted February 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2021 Really enjoyed this last night and not just because ScarJo is in it. Very funny but also thought provoking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Synchronic was a fairly decent low budget movie surrounding two paramedics attending strange deaths of drug users taking a new designer drug. It's not fantastic by any means but it's pretty solid and has a great concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Took me a long time to get round to watching The Handmaiden, but it was good. Park Chan-wook is great sometimes, but he can get a bit carried away with the visuals, I thought he just about reined it in enough. The plot was fun, though the final twist was obvious. Glad I watched it in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted February 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2021 Watching Wall-E with the little one this morning. Such a good film and it always amazes me how much character they can get into him from the eyes and little movements. Possibly my favourite Pixar film but hard to compare with Toy Story because it's such a classic, and I love Ratatouille too (but haven't seen it in ages so will have to watch again soon and evaluate!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Planes, Trains & Automobiles Enjoyed it a lot, almost felt like I was watching an all time great, I read afterwards that there's a directors cut that has never been released so would be interested to see that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted February 18, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2021 That looks better than it really should do. Also either this thing is really, really long or its going to be moving at an obscene pace. There's a lot going on in that trailer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Was loving that Mortal Kombat trailer until the last minute when he drops an F Bomb . There's no need for language like that in any situation to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Gave Monster Hunter a try but couldn't make it all way through. Ended up fast forwarding most of the movie. Special effects are only so slightly better than in the 2007 Beowulf movie so that's nice I guess. The monsters look not awful but the settings looks like a cartoon. The story (not surprising I guess) is utter tripe. To call this B-movie quality is an insult to most B-movies. 3/10. Watch pretty much anything and everything rather than this. Apparently Paul W.S Anderson has been working on this project since 2012 and this is what he comes up with Spoiler That big boss dragon looks like a giant shaved barbecued parrot Edited February 19, 2021 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Watching Beasts of no Nation on Netflix, about an hour in but paused it for dinner. It’s pretty grim at this point but very good so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
