Popular Post Designer1 Posted January 20 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 20 (edited) We're watching this tonight as the good lady wife didn't see it with me when it was first released. Because of the recent exposure that Saltburn has received, hopefully this (Emerald Fennells first movie) will be getting some well deserved fresh attention. A career best performance from Carey Mulligan in a really superb drama. Edited January 20 by Designer1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Really quite enjoyed The Creator, it’s by no means perfect but it was a decent sci-fi movie with another good performance by John David Washington and the newcomer playing Alphie. Aesthetically great to look at too and an added bonus of having Sturgill Simpson in it! deffo worth a watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Wonka. Hadn't realized it was a full on musical, I hate musicals. Not 100 % certain why but I think it's an immersion thing. Having the odd song is OK, having 30 or whatever completely ruins it for me. On the plus side the movie becomes really short when you fast forward through every singing number. The colours where nice thou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Also just finished Wonka, really enjoyed and not to be contrary, really liked the songs. They were penned by Neil Hannon so that helped. Good film, different of course to the other 2 Wonka films. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for the Blu ray price to come down a bit so I can watch it again. First time Director too, which is astonishing considering how mature a piece of work it is.

Designer1 Posted January 22 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22 Just back from watching this... Good stuff. A million miles away from Hollywoods idea of a disaster movie (here, the UK is affected by almost apocalyptic flooding), very character centric and emotionally powerful with another excellent performance from Jodie Comer. Well worth your time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted January 22 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22 Direct follow on from last years 'One Shot' it is basically Die Hard in an airport but allegedly filmed in one take and much the better for it, think of a continuous fps. I think Adkins is actually becoming a much more accomplished actor these days, yes you get the ass kickin and gunplay but the lad can also add a bit of substance to his roles One criticism is the criminal underuse of Michael Jai White but even so the 102 minutes rattles along at a fair old pace. Worth a watch if stuck for a loose end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted January 23 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23 (edited) I think I'm the one person on earth who dislikes Oppenheimer. Well, no, I'm not, but it feels that way at times. I don't even think some of my favourite film critics could convince me otherwise on this one. But I've never liked Christopher Nolan's work -- not one single film of his has worked for me. They seem so pretentious and unfun. I found this one heavy-handed to an extreme, overly stylized, and the titilar tortured genius thoroughly unlikable from start to finish -- and unbelievable, too. Some of the dialogue embarrassed me to hear: Niels Bohr : The power you are about to reveal will forever outlive the Nazis, and the world is not prepared. J. Robert Oppenheimer : You can't lift the stone without being ready for the snake that's revealed. Niels Bohr : We have to make the politicians understand, this isn't a new weapon, it is a new world. Thanks for that explanation, Niels! It's new! The nuke was new! It changes everything! Got that. About 100 times over in the film, so much so, the idea loses its impact. It's like spoon-feeding simplistic ideas to audiences not really interested in anything other than simulated intellectual or political engagement -- over and over. Is there anyone likable at all in the film? Not for me. Many characters seemed to be so obviously telescoping themes. It's was cloying. Got tired of all the trippy blooms of fire on the screen and hey-pay-attention-to-me soundtrack. Awful. I actually think it's disturbing that so many people admire this.
