useless Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Happy Hour (Ryusuke Hamaguchi) - This was very good, enjoyed it, a long runtime but everything about it draws you in so you don't really notice the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Finally got around to watching The Innocents. Would not say I loved it but it certainly had something. Rather disturbing in a very calm way and it's always effective having children who are a bit (a lot) off. The atmosphere and feeling is quite creepy and wrong in a good way. Will absolutely not be for everyone and if you don't like small children who are anything but cute, or if you are a cat person this might not be for you A very solid 7.5/10 for me. Edit: Would not say it's a horror film thou. Edited April 10, 2022 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Moonstruck - Enjoyed it, can see why it's considered a classic. The Lady Eve - Liked it, Barbara Stanwyck was especially good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted April 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2022 Watched the Contractor with Chris Pine last night. He plays an Ex special forces operative who is forced into the private sector due to a dishonourable discharge where everything is not quite as it seems Good solid actioner with a couple of twists so well worth the investment . 7.9/10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Foster is always good value too, always. It's sort of not great but ends up being a decent watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made two of my all time favourite movies (and we can argue all night over others) and fave TV series. This movie has been kept well under wraps... some even doubt it exists! Kaleem Aftab (@aftabamon) April 7, 2022' Speculation that it might be a new David Lynch film, I hope so. 'As the Cannes Film Festival will announce its Official Selection on Thursday, Variety is starting to get a slightly clearer picture of what 75th edition will look like, though fewer titles than usual have leaked. Led by Cannes’ artistic director and general delegate Thierry Fremaux, the selection committee has been flooded with late submissions and is now in the thick of deliberations. Most surprisingly, according to two well-informed sources, there will even be a David Lynch feature film which has been completely off the radar and stars Laura Dern — either as a cameo or a supporting role — along with some other Lynch regulars.'

Yeah just got in from watching it and it's comfortably the best one so far (I have enjoyed them all to be fair). Mads Mikkelsen and Jude Law both put in a good shift and Yates can do the Potter vibe in his sleep by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 You Are Not I - This is the debut film from Sara Driver, only fifty minutes long but I thought it was really good, enjoyed everything about it, especially the way it was shot and scored, which give it an unearthly and almost sci fi feel.

Carmen Sternwood to Phillip Marlowe, "you're not very tall are you" Marlowe, "well, I, uh, I try to be" Good answer but no mate, this films prequel has been mentioned a few times recently in another thread clue - one of the lead supporting actors in the prequel had a unlikely martial arts series in the 80’s betraying his western roots (cryptic) i now need the actor and the name of the series in addition to the initial question Edited April 16, 2022 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
