AVFCDAN Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Somehow I’ve managed to never watch There will be blood and as it’s just appeared on Netflix I decided to finally sit down and watch it. I thought the last half hour dragged a bit but my god what a performance from Daniel Day-Lewis, you literally can’t take your eyes off him and he manages to convey so many personality traits and make such a convincing troubled character, I can certainly see why he got the Oscar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a masterpiece. DDL modelled Daniel Plainview, the way he moves and speaks on the great director John Huston, rather fittingly, himself a giant of a character. I thought Paul Dano matched DDL the whole way, incredible performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to watch it again at some point, still not had a second viewing since the cinema, I think i judge it harshly on the basis that I saw no country for old men the week before and thought it was boring in comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me TWBB is a film to respect and the other I just love, one of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be very easy if you were told of the directors of both and had to match each to the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Watched A Quiet Place Part II. I think I probably enjoyed a little less than the 1st but still decent enough although it felt a bit short. 7-7.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story didn't make sense, the acting was awful and it was less than the sum of its parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 That Day On The Beach - Debut film of Edward Yang, very good, I liked it, you could already see the beginnings of some his later films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I've seen, That Day, on the Beach, Terrorizers, A Brighter Summer Day, and Yi Yi. I liked them all but A Brighter Summer Day and Yi Yi were the standouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Mrs was desperate to go to cinema so we went to see the latest Fast and Furious. Now I’ve not seen past number 6 I think, but I didn’t really need catching up. I laughed so much, because it is so so bad and unrealistic (yes I know it’s meant to be, there was one even a scene where they mocked it themselves). Spoiler They went to space my god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 No Sudden Move looks like exactly the kind of movie I want to go back to a cinema to see. A mid century Detroit heist film by Steven Soderbergh (Out of Sight, Traffic). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On first viewing I was left a little frustrated and confused. But after subsequent viewings I think it is brilliant. The Coen Brothers are on a another level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted July 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2021 Watched this last night and thought it was very good indeed. Set in Thatcher era Britain at the height of the 'Video Nasty' controversy - Niamh Algar (Calm with Horses, The Virtues) plays a film censor, who has been mentally damaged by an incident in her past. The direction reminded me of Ben Wheatley, and has a very ominous, stripped back tone. Algar is great as usual, and really nails her role.
