useless Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Sono had a new film released late last year which was pretty good, called 'Red Post on Escher Street'. Follows different people and their stories as they audition for a role in a new movie, the 'Red Post' in the title refers to the letter box that appears throughout the movie where they all post their auditons. Not as wild as some of his films, but you can still tell that it's one of his movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Watched Maria on Netflix which was like a Filipino John Wick but a mess. Language all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted February 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2021 So while it’s 2nd February, that brings to mind a certain film that takes place on that day... With that in mind, has anyone ever seen “12:01”? The feature film or the original short film? The short is quite interesting, I’d describe it as the best episode the twilight zone never made (I know the series did an episode about a recurring dream which was quite good). Quite nightmarish really. It has Kurtwood Smith in it, from Robocop. The full feature is a more “comedic” version of the story. Think both can be found on YouTube.

Follyfoot Posted February 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Bit of an odd old one that i was not convinced actually ever existed until a few years ago let me track it via the Internet. I vividly remember one night in the early 80s they cancelled match of the day due to bad weather and stuck this film on instead. It’s the only time I’ve ever known it broadcast and it had a really profound affect on me (And also many others after reading some of the reviews) It’s called La Cabina, It’s only half an hour long and there is virtually no talking in it. It is based on the simple premise of a man who gets stuck a telephone box. Highly recommend giving it a go But do not read any of the reviews before doing so as that would ruin it. It is only available on YouTube Edited February 3, 2021 by Follyfoot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 It's weird with no new films having come out for months now (except crappy Netflix garbage). I miss watching films! Caught up on a load of TV shows though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 To be fair to Netflix, they do have some decent films on there. I miss going to the cinema though, it's actually painful to think about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what sort of films you like, but my favourite Netflix release last year was Tigertail, which I assume is still on the platform, and was a rather emotional family drama about a Taiwanese man moving to the US, and his relationship with his daughter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to cover every genre so it's hard to say Chicago 7 is a 8/10 for me da five bloods was a 7/10, the dig was another 7/10 but I think a lot of people will find it boring Edited February 4, 2021 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Really enjoyed one night in miami, its about Ali, malcolm x, Jim brown and Sam Cooke celebrating after Ali beat Liston Probably helps if you know at least a bit about all of them, some great performances and the majority of the film is 4 guys in a room so it had to be good performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
