theboyangel Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Whilst I was a little disappointed they decided to reboot Hellboy instead of continuing with Ron Perlman, I do feel a bit for David Harbour in his first major lead (after great work in Stranger Things) and it turns out to be a turkey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was offered the reboot but turned it down, he would only make number 3 instead of restarting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Shazam: Meh. It was ok - had a bit of an 80’s feel to it, but a lot of the jokes and stuff missed the mark. Very much one for the pre-teens. Hotel Artemis: hadn’t heard of this at all until it popped up on Sky. It was a decent watch, but felt like a feature length episode of a TV show. Reminded me of Black Mirror, crossed with ‘Four Rooms’ from the 90’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Watched ‘You Were Never Really Here’ the other day. Weirdly, I found it to be the opposite of the saying ‘more than the sum of it’s parts’ I thought Phoenix was amazing, I loved the soundtrack, it looked fantastic and it didn’t overstay it’s welcome with a long running time like so many films do these days. Despite all that, I felt the film as whole was a bit ‘meh’. I think there were too many ‘arty’ shots of the main character wandering about with traffic noise in the background and the opening half hour didn’t do anything to make me invested in the character, by the time the story actually got going.

It's...interesting but falls way short of Argento. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Watched this a week ago. Not the best of films, but it was really horrible to watch. I'm not for death penalty, but Breivik deserves a slow, painfull death. Like, you know, lock him up in a cell and throw away the key. Give him bread and water.

sne Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Captive State. If you've seen the TV-show Colony you've seen this. Think there were potential in it but it ended up unfulfilling it. 5.5/10 Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing through all the film. Was it really right? I think the intention was good, but I'm leaning to thinking that I agree with you. And apparently they made 3 films about this last year, Greengrass being the director of one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the one where you basically follow 1 character? Only seen the other one called "July 22" (the Greengrass one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the Greengrass one? It's OK-ish. The acting is OK, the pacing is a bit off and they try covering the whole story but it feels rushed and it doesn't feel "authentic" even with the shaky camera and stuff. It's hard to really say with such a horrible event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Watched "Dragged across concrete " last night feels like you are watching something you've seen before , bit of a slow burner , Gibson seems to be playing himself at times with his racist cop routine , not as brutal as Bone Tomahawk ( by the same director) and not really sure why they gave it an 18 rating , tad predictable as heist type movies tend to be but enjoyable enough and worth a watch if you've a spare 2 1/2 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father This film is a true tragedy It will stay with me. The full film is on Youtube and the trailer reveals a lot if you want to watch it without knowing anything (although you may know of the case) I recommend watching it but it is a sad one and that's a huge understatement.

Chindie Posted April 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2019 Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse I wanted to see this at the cinema around Christmas, but personal circumstances meant that didn't happen. All the more annoying when everyone sang its praises. Finally saw it today. Wow. That is an arrestingly beautiful film. It's an animation like I've never seen before. The trailers made me unsure of it but the whole thing is just wonderful. It has a mash up of old school comic book art tropes (many scenes have that 'dot' texture you get in old print comics) and graffiti style, and then mixes it up even further with different characters having different styles. It looks incredible. It's wonderfully written, has a loving reverence for the character(s), down to the design of Kingpin being based on a really obscure version, a nice story and message... It's great. I don't even like the Miles Morales Spider-Man, and the Spiderverse comic is mostly rubbish but this is excellent. Probably the best Spider-Man film. Even manages to take a really D list villain in the Prowler and make him good. Excellent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
