Some genuinely funny bits and thankfully nothing like The Festival! The Festival is right up there as one of the worst films I have had the displeasure to endure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Dark Waters (2019). Great film, illustrating the way the world works. Small part inspiring, but mostly terrifying/infuriating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Watched Natural Born Killers over the weekend. I didn’t remember it being that bonkers to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 So are there actually any new films coming out soon? and when they do start coming out, is it going to be a massive avalanche of films all at once to catch-up? or have all films forever just been delayed by 6 months, so the same volume will come out?

However, everything changed when cinemas had to close due to the current global situation, leading to numerous delays. But cinemas in England have started to reopen as of July 4 and in the coming weeks, more cinemas will open across the UK. Despite the delays, there are still plenty of blockbuster-sized treats in store for movie fans in 2020. Looks a bit of a ‘meh’ list to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2020 Finally got round to watching JoJo Rabbit on the weekend. To be honest after 20-30 minutes I wasn't really that convinced. I was enjoying it but it seemed average and the funny bits were a bit hit and miss. But it ramped up and up and by the end I absolutely loved it. Hilarious, sad, tense. Brilliant stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The old Bond films are all a bit nuts aren't they? I don't think I've seen You Only Live Twice since I was a kid but it's a bit of a trip innit, especially when he turns Japanese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watched it for years but felt very uncomfortable with the scene with pussy galore.

snowychap Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Stumbled upon this yesterday (about Before Sunrise, mainly): Time After Time: Looking Back at “Before Sunrise” Quote When Peter Bogdanovich interviewed Jimmy Stewart, Stewart told a story about a random guy who once told him, “You did this thing in a movie where you read a poem once … That was good.” Stewart realized that the guy was talking about a movie that came out in 1941, over 20 years before. Stewart said to Bogdanovich: “And that’s the thing—that’s the great thing about the movies … After you learn—and if you’re good and Gawd helps ya and you’re lucky enough to have a personality to comes across—then what you’re doing is you’re giving people little… little, tiny pieces of time that they never forget.” Among the many topics that interest director Richard Linklater, time is his main obsession. You can see it in the trilogy of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, filmed over a 20-year period, and you can see it most explicitly in his latest, Boyhood, filmed over the course of 12 years. The passage of time is one thing that every human being has in common, and with it comes mortality, change, loss. Other filmmakers have been obsessed with time, and have struggled to put it onscreen, to capture the un-capturable. In Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, Quince boils down his theatre troupe’s main challenge in creating the play-within-the-play: bringing “the moonlight into a chamber.” Bringing moonlight into a chamber is the essential “hard thing” of theatre, movies, art, anything involving make-believe, and Linklater cares deeply about figuring out truthful ways to create a space where “moonlight”—love, listening, the ebb and flow of conversation, the passage of time—can be captured. ... E.M. Forster declared in Howards End, “Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die.” Celine and Jessie, young adults reaching towards their own lives, asserting their own hard-won personalities and opinions, while still remaining open to the possibilities in the moment, discover the truth of Forster’s words. The film stands on its own, in this way. If Before Sunset and Before Midnight hadn’t been made, Before Sunrise would still hold a special place in people’s hearts because it tells a story of two random people who were able to “only connect.” ...more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2020 Watched "Greyhound" the other night. Like some of Apple TV's other offerings, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It's a relatively short film but there's almost no build up or backstory, you're pretty much straight into a sea battle which lasts most of the film. It works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much technical Navy dialogue for me. 90 mins of shouting random stuff at each other. lots of good about it but apart from a tiny bit of intro into Hanks’ character, it was hard to give a toss about any of them. The action was good though and it was pretty tense at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys plotting the ships movement on the charts served to explain to the viewer what was happening I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
