useless Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The Ancient Woods (Mindaugas Survila) Filmed in one of the last remaining patches of old growth forest in Lithuania, The Ancient Woods is a place where the boundaries of time melt and everything that exists does not wither or age but "grows into" eternity. A poetic and atypical nature film takes its viewers on the endless journey - from the forest thickets to the wolves' caves and up to black stork's nest, and then deep into the water to the underwater forest, returning after to the human beings inhabiting the edge of the woodland. There's no commentary, only the rich, almost palpable sounds of the forest and the magical situations captured by the camera This was quite stunning to look at, and great sound, very good film 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Watched Decision to Leave, the Korean film from last year, hypnotic to watch with some lovely visual touches, but found the central theme of the film didn't land with me as I might have expected. By the starkest of contrasts, currently watching Your Christmas or Mine 2, which is predictably abysmal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to give this a watch tonight mate, based on your recommendation. If it's crap I'll let my missus know it was your fault 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I watched May December last night (following @useless posting about it above). Some great acting but didn't blow us away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one showing per day at my cinema at a time I can't make Annoying, because I was really up for watching it at the cinema and it's reviewing ridiculously well. Hopefully the schedule updates for next week and I can get to see it. Edited December 11, 2023 by Designer1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted December 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2023 Killers of the Flower Moon, some decent performances but the whole thing was just to slow and drawn out , 6/10 for me, took 2 sittings to get through it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done 3 sittings and still haven't finished it yet. Nothing about the plot/story is gripping me to keep watching, and I'm a huge Scorsese fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the first part but my wife found it utterly boring - will take my lad to see part 2 (and will try and rewatch part 1 the night before to refresh my memory!)

hogso Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I love long form analysis videos on YouTube. And I do mean long. The master of the format is probably Tim Rogers who will do 6+ hour reviews, but my favourite are the guys from Resonant Arc. Normally I watch video game related reviews, but they do some film ones too. Here's their Jurassic Park review which really emphasised to me what an incredible movie it is (with the only real down side being some utterly daft continuity errors which I can remember even as an 8 year old not making any sense and really annoying me). If you have a spare 4 hours and like that movie too, but perhaps wonder if it actually is good or whether the greatness you associate with it is down to nostalgia...this answered that question for me. I haven't watched it for years, but have a hankering to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big fella is good value as always, but there are other monsters much closer to home at play Equally uplifting and harrowing The musical score for the final section was rising and impressive and a nod to the original Godzilla films, I think what separates this from the Hollywood blockbusters is one simple thing, this film has a soul and a clear subliminal message enjoy Spoiler A man still at war whose life is entwined with a monster at war.
