useless Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) After Life (1998) I thought it was a really good movie, watching it felt like watching a long lost classic... Antiporno, thought this was really excellent, lots of vivid colors and nice use of famous pieces of classical music which gives it almost a decadent feel which is at odds with some of the other aspects of the film... Noriko's Dinner Table, this was a really great psychological thriller, had some ideas I've seen in other movies but done in a very original way, kind of film that stays with you a long time after watching and makes you think... La La Land, I liked some parts of this but not so much other parts, overall I'd say I quite liked it...Long Journey into the Night, famous because the last hour is one long tracking shot and is in 3D, one of those movies where it's confusing because you've got the same actor playing different characters, dream sequences and the story is told in a non-linear way. I liked it. Edited February 28, 2020 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Anyone feeling the hype for Ridley Scott's upcoming medieval blockbuster starring Matt Damon and a blond Ben Affleck? I so hope they will be speaking in a French/New England accent. Adam Driver is also in it and he's likely more suited to paying a role like this. Edit: It's titled The last Duel and based on a book.

mjmooney Posted February 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2020 The missus was out with her mates at a quiz at the local cricket club last night (led them to a storming win, natch), so I finally got to settle down with a few beers and watch The Irishman. Really enjoyed it. The 'reverse ageing' cgi worked better than I'd feared, and it's always fun to watch out for the Scorsese movie geek easter eggs (several nods to Goodfellas, obviously, plus "The Shootist" showing at a cinema in one background shot, a snatch of the "Godfather" theme music playing in a restaurant, and so on). Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel - what's not to like? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Contagion really is a pretty solid movie, mostly because it isn't trying to be too sensationalist. It's fairly realistic even if the flu is a bit too deadly. If you take out Jude Laws character and the whole "blogosphere" and big farma crap that makes it feel a bit dated it's not bad at all. The ending when you see how the initial spreading began is scarily spot on to what we are seeing happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Zombieland Double Tap. Really enjoyable. Doesn’t take itself too seriously, takes the piss out of the original. Plus Little Rock got hot! Would defo recommend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Shazam. I haven’t seen all the DC films, but if the ones I have this is probably the best. More comical approach. It’s ok, a bit boring. Still shows DCU is a million miles off MCU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yesterday - it’s alright. Sweet premise, one of those you pretty much know what is going to happen. If you like Beatles music it’s a good throw back. Spoiler Really didn’t understand why Coca Cola, cigarettes and Harry Potter weren’t around though.

mikeyp102 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 X men Dark Phoenix. I expected an absolute shit storm. It’s not great, but nowhere as bad as some reviews. Even for someone who hasn’t read the comics though, I know there is more they could do with the storyline. Needed more depth into what the dark Phoenix was. I’m glad that now on X Men will be moving to MCU as they’ll do a better job than fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
