My daughter it was American werewolf in London, I blamed my mother in law for that one. Why, was you Mother in Law a werewolf? Hope she is alright nooooooooooooooooow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 My 3 year old son loves all the Toy Storys, we’ve also just recently discovered ‘Onward’ on Disney+ which we enjoyed. Definitely from about 2 1/2 onwards I noticed that attention span to watch films improve. We also took YouTube off their iPads as they were increasingly watching junk!

Yeah also has Maika Monroe in it and is directed by Oz Perkins (son of Anthony) who's done a couple of good movies (loved Blackcoats Daughter). Definitely up for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Thought I would watch John Wick 4. As good as it was, I couldn't help being distracted by Ian McShane's extremely white teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted January 31 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31 (edited) Just back from: Easily the most emotional movie I've seen for a long time. It takes the often used themes of loss, grief and isolation and avoids the clichés while constructing its brilliantly written and original story. Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal are both on their A-Game and I'm not gonna lie this one got me right in the feels. Superb stuff.

JoshVilla Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Been watching some of the Studio Ghibli films that I hadn't seen. Latest one was "When Marnie Was There". Fantastic film but bloody hell, another punch to the gut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I thought this was quite good. Interesting storyline challenging ideas of family, you can flip flop a little on whether you think they are basically good, or broken. Quite a relaxed pace, no car chase sequences or cgi, so not for everyone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other half’s review of Shoplifters was ‘I kept on waiting, but nothing actually happened’. In other news, we also watched and enjoyed: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, I don't watch many films at all and just pop in and out of this thread periodically to see if there's anything that's been posted that might take my fancy and be worth watching. The last two films i've watched, Past Lives and It Snows in Benidorm have most definitely not been my type of film. The films i've most recently watched prior to that have been catching up on the old Tarantino ones, which i've watched a few times over and still enjoy.

coda Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Saw Jonathan Glazer's new one The Zone of Interest and it was an ordeal. A great and horrifying film. Don't think I've ever been in a cinema so quiet with not a peep from anyone during the whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
