Chindie Posted February 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2022 I think it's possible to make French and Saunders smaller on that poster, but you'd really need to try without it looking too obvious what you were doing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they’d have made Russel Brand smaller or even better, without him in it entirely. it’s tough to call who I dislike more, Brand or Corden… both are loathsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted February 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2022 Slightly surprised Armie Hammer has such a prominent place on the poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Prisoners of the Ghostland - I thought this had some good moments, at times looked very good visually as you'd expect from Sion Sono, Nicolas Cage was good and entertaining in a sort of over the top silly role, but as I watching I was kind of going back and forth between thinking that it was going to become a sort of cult classic to it wasn't very good. Overall I'd say it was kind of disappointing and probably telling that Sono himself didn't write it because although some of his other films can also be silly and over the top it's usually done in a different way and there's more of an emotional depth to it to balance it out, so by his standards I didn't think it was very good but probably still worth watching if you like Nicolas Cage being over the top and at times it looked very creative visually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 i dont want to derail the oscars thread but the talk of shakespeare in there reminded me of this - from memory its a modern setting but the original text and its very good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 watched Annihilation again and can just say that Alex Garland is brilliant. love how you can interpret the movie from a stance of relationships, identity, threat of the unknown and cancer. it's both clever and disturbing and beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonically and visually a very interesting watch, as is EX-Machina. He's involved in the new Halo film, so high hopes for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This film was so good. I had it in my head that it was shit, and I have no idea why. So when I finally got round to watching it I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2022 I'd never heard of Annihilation but it looks interesting - from the initial blurb though it sounds very much like Tarkovsky's Stalker - is it very similar? Inspired by Stalker? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when I finally got round to watching it I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was it's definitely not shit, but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't take to it. maybe it's because of poor expectation mgmt. in any case it's a very good movie with layered messages. love how it deals with the theme of creation through destruction and how that ties together with how we constantly change through some form of biological violence and how that is tied together with disease and disorders and general change of identity over time. discussing all of this through the lens of a terrifying alien phenomena is just brilliant imo. are we really ourselves if all our cells have been replaced over a period of time? if we face life-changing trauma? lol I'm done, but seriously love this movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually haven't seen Stalker yet so I wouldn't know, but that's a movie I have been meaning to watch for a couple of years so maybe I should quit stalling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I wish new movie trailers were less revealing, I'd like them to hold more back so I can enjoy whatever emotion a scene stirs within, rather then going into a movie waiting for the highlights already revealed to me months ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember the Terminator 2 trailer completely ruining the film. If you watch the first 20-30 minutes, it's clearly shot to make you think Arnie is the baddie again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Watched Romeo + Juliet for the first time on Valentine's Day at MAC, in their meal-and-a-movie offering. Took a while to get into the 'feel' of Shakespearean dialogue in 90's California, but once I was there it was pretty good. You could write a treatise on how fetishistically Di Caprio is shot though, camera never lets you forget how his body is the star of the show.

Can't remember that trailer but I didn't want to watch the trailers for some of the upcoming biggies but did this morning and jurassic revealing old cast members, and strange just revealed way too much was mildly annoying. Imagine a modern day trailer for vertigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The only Shakespeare film I've REALLY enjoyed is Richard III 1955, ridiculous cast, with an amusing tour de force from the lead. Really do recommend this one to those that haven't seen it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old trailers are way WAY worse for this to be honest. They used to literally tell you the plot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzzle Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The new Kings films was disappointing and pretty **** boring tbh. It didn't have the same feel as the 1st 2 films. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvation was a bad one too Edit - that's why I think the new Dr strange one is good, it shows loads but it's obviously played with the sequencing and it's at such a frantic pace that you can't piece it together, you know certain (potentially awesome) things are in it but you can't apply context because of how the trailer is put together Edited February 16, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
