Designer1 Posted December 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2021 6 minutes ago, useless said: Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn - I liked the first half an hour when she's wandering around Bucharest and the way the camera often leaves her and focuses on things like statues and shop facades and so on, the second part a sort of short dictionary of anecdotes, signs and wonders, is kind of interesting, wasn't too keen on the final part though. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover - This was an interesting spectacle, Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon were good. My favourite performance from Gambon. He's absolutely, brilliantly vile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Watching the last duel whilst on my phone Damon feels really miscast, comer is stunning, it's OK and looks the part fir sure but it's jumping around a lot rather than establishing anything, it's also near overbearingly bleak It doesn't have that big battle get you in to it opening of say gladiator or even the get some character in of brave heart, its a hard film to get going imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follyfoot Posted December 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2021 FAO @Xela I have just come across a film called St George’s Day, it appears to have some good actors, cockney mobsters, Russian mafia and football hooligans. Is it worth me investing in this for my Sunday treat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Petite Maman (Céline Sciamma) - The way much of the movie is from the perspective of a child's imagination, so that every day things can have slightly scary/fairy tale feel to them I thought was used to good affect. After not being sure of it after the first ten or so minutes I ended up really quite liking it. Wavelength (Michael Snow) - A fixed camera films inside a room, there are few brief appearances from people, but for the most part it's just the camera slowly zooming in on a picture whilst the light changes either via various effects or naturally, interesting the way those changes can completely change the mood of what's on screen. Emerald (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) - Feathers float around an empty room of an abondoned hotel and eventually voices emerge talking about memories, dreams, myths, and reciting poems, as all that's going on ghostly faces start to appear to add the dreamy feel.

theunderstudy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Watched another 1999 film today that is very good... 10 Things I Hate About You. Heath Ledger's first role I think? Maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitts too? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
