IMDB is full of completely-missing-the-point one star user reviews. I loved it. The Creature from the Black Lagoon meets Amelie. This is class 38 minutes ago, mikeyp102 said: I Tonya, it’s good. Margot Robbie does a great role This is also class. Possibly even better, though not really comparable. that was a great Oscars year. There was also Three Billboards IIRC. I remember preferring I, Tonya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Pretty surprised by how much I didn't mind the Child's Play remake. Really good, silly, fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Watched Booksmart this afternoon. I'd heard good things about it but it genuinely was a laugh a minute for me. Nice to see a coming of age comedy that wasn't all reliant on gross-out to get the laughs in. The sound-track is quality too. Really great directorial debut from Olivia Wilde. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted April 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2020 Watched 'bad day for the cut'. Basically an irish version of every revenge film made. Really liked it though, strong believable lead performance, good atmosphere. Its just let down slightly by one poorly written character that I wont go into more detail about.

Come for the sequel to a light-hearted fairly-amusing song and dance number, stay for the 2 hour discussion about relative merits of various musical genres. We had a family cinema day in as our 3 year old loves the first and the holiday special. I've no idea what they were trying to do with this; just glad it was a rental, so there's no chance of having this on repeat endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Cardboard gangsters - Irish film about the rise of a drug gang of youths in Dublin, very thick accents but quite believable performances, nothing special by enjoyed it. 7/10 Swallow - The setup is quite similar to a 50 shades of grey, rich husband who’s an asshole and wife who doesn’t feel loved, she develops a condition called PICA and it goes from there, sun nothing special but I enjoyed it, blends between genres. 7/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2020 I rewatched Suspiria (2018) earlier. Man. That film. That film. It's brilliant. Shot wonderfully. Beautiful soundtrack. Fantastic use of lore and myth. Dripping in atmosphere. Moments of intense horror. It's biggest flaw is a single bit of casting and a weak character design at the climax. **** brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that's still a big issue for some people despite the great strides being made. Did you watch Mid-90's out of interest? Jonah Hill's directorial debut? Lovely little indie film that wasn't about an awful lot but just a nice little period of a young lads life growing up in the 90's. Just really solid film-making with that nostalgic feel that we all love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't get in any top College comedy lists but Justin Long's Court speech at the end is better than a lot of films who take that type of scene seriously. I'd go with Deadpool or Captain America.

It's hard to ignore the core premise and the tonal shifts but there's half a good film in there. The cast is decent too. Like I said though it ain't making any top lists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Got 15 minutes into Jumanji 2 before folding. I have very poor taste in film but this was too bad even for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
