theboyangel Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Not a recent film (2014) but really enjoyed This Is Where I Leave You on Netflix. A very good family comedy-drama about four siblings coming to terms with the death of their father whilst juggling their own problems. great cast including Jason Bateman, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Tina Fey and Jane Fonda.

I haven’t seen it since it first came out and didn’t like it then but it’s better than I remembered and Zack Snyder does have a great eye for visual style. I hated that movie at the cinema. If I could have walked out, I would have for the first time in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really as the feel good nostalgia was probably the best thing about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Wind River Its about a murdered girl on an Indian reservation in a very snowy wyoming where a young fbi agent needs help from a local wildlife ranger to track the killer, pretty good and worth a watch, I think there's a message in there somewhere about girls going missing from Indian reservations and I'm not sure that hits home particularly well but thata not a detriment to the film 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember once with my ex, we were discussing about something to watch and “Far from the madding crowd” was on (the remake, not the Julie Christie one....I wouldn’t even try to suggest that). “So you fancy watching it?” “Who’s in it” “It’s Carey Mulligan as the main character..” “I love Carey Mulligan. What’s it about?” “Well it’s about this woman living out in the country, I think it’s set in the late 19th century. Anyway there are these three fellas who love her....” “Oh it’s set in the past? I don’t like that sort of stuff, period stuff.” “So you wouldn’t watch ‘Titanic’ then? Or ‘Gladiator’? I mean, ‘Grease’ is a period piece, I guess you wouldn’t care for that. ‘Moulin Rouge’, there’s another we’ll be giving a miss from now on....” Yep, that’s me. I don’t like films or TV series set in that ‘period’ era - basically like 1800-1960. Titanic gets a pass because a big ship sinks plus it’s James Cameron. Moulin Rouge gets a pass because it’s a fantasy musical plus Baz Lurman. Grease - nah probably not Gladiator - wrong period. 2000 years ago is different to not liking ‘period stuff’ - ie: 1800-1960. Basically you’ve picked a couple of exceptions to the general rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Just endured Ava on Netflix. Great cast on paper but a dull and uninspiring female hitman movie with no originality at all. wish they’d give certain genres/plot lines a rest for a bit as they become stale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen Casablanca or any idea what it’s about, never heard of The Third Man. I have seen 2-3 black & white films and they were ok as a curiousity but I wouldn’t watch them for fun/entertainment. Theres always the odd exception though - loved Life is Beautiful which is a WW2 film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
