Xann Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Was sucked in to the 'Dune' trailer, then the soundtrack went all 'Lion King' and the spell broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 How many films are they planning to make out of it? Two? Paul in part one and Muad'dib in part two? Or a film for each of the original 3 books? Makes me want to watch the Jodorowsky's Dune docu more than anything. It also makes me really sad to see how good that looks, and the utter travesty that was The Dark Tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think The Departed might be the most tedious well reviewed film I've ever suffered through. Decent cast, and an interesting plot, it was a fantastic 90 minute blockbuster extended to two and a half hours of boredom. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2020 Jason & the Argonauts, 1963. I won’t spoiler my thoughts, because it’s Jason & the Argonauts from 1963. Looking at it now, anyone else think it’s odd that the film doesn’t end with Jason confronting the bloke who killed his parents and tricking him into risking his life by sailing across the world for a grubby sheepskin? It’s like they forgot about that opening bit and just thought “well he’s got the fleece and a new girlfriend...that’s close enough.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Saw Greyhound last night Empire kinda low scored it as it didn’t offer any background on the characters but I really liked it ... they avoided the cliche of boom boom boom underwater sequences as the subs were hunted and it was just a fast paced film as Hanks character goes about his job. The film deserves a wider audience than it will presumably get on Apple TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I enjoyed Greyhound but do understand the criticism of the lack of background to the main characters. i get the feeling it was edited down to 90 mins to stream quickly on Disney+ hopefully there’ll be a directors cut with a little more to it. enjoyable film though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Antebellum turned out to be just as disappointing as the reviews said it would be. The elevator pitch was probably much better than the execution turned out in the end. It's not terrible but a worthy successor to Get Out it was not. 5.5/10 maybe. Sad that because it could have been pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you watched Infernal Affairs? It’s the original Chinese version which is infinitely better. They made a couple of sequels as well though I don’t recall seeing them. Edited September 20, 2020 by cyrusr Haven’t seen them! Only just realised the typo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoyed it too, but I didn’t care about any of the characters and there was too much technical, naval dialogue being shouted back and forth at times. It’s well made though and rattled by at a right pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent work, some incredible acting, Paul Dano is right up there for me, superb talent, completely held his own in There Will Be Blood up against arguably the greatest movie actor of all time playing his greatest creation Daniel Plainview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
