Hopefully Nolan can get back on form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I watched a Norwegian film last night called Troll. Was actually quite good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2022 Watched The Triangle of Sadness the other day and loved it. Very good film. Bit slow going to begin with but worth sticking with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they tried to get the word 'feckin' into every second sentence, and sometimes twice in the once sentence, and the unnecessary repitition in the back and forths. It just sounded forced, unnatural and as I say, really quite amateur. I was getting second hand embarrassment for them while watching it. But I got to the end in case it got better. Which it very marginally did. The little young fella went from being the worst of them all at the start to actually being one you sympathised with in the end. I think it's very much a case of everyone giving it a free pass simply because of its Irishness, which as @mjmooneywould say is cringe. So, on a scale from Father Ted to Mrs Brown's Boys...?

Can't wait for this one, the video is about the making of a stunt. Say what you like about his beliefs but when you see one of his action movies and the stunts he does it makes it worth watching. I have no idea how he gets insurance to do most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Gone to Earth (Powell and Pressburger) - Rural fairy tale, not quite as good as their very best but still still very good. The Quiet Girl (Colm Bairéad) - Irish language film, Oscar nominated, I thought it was very good. Edited December 22, 2022 by useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dialogue was not natural. The 'Irishness' was forced and it was just a bit amateur. Nowhere near the standard of In Bruges from McDonagh. Fully agree, to a point. And that point was about 10 minutes into it when I stopped watching! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Quite enjoyed See How They Run on Disney +, a good old fashioned, tongue in cheek whodunnit set around the West end show, The Mousetrap in the fifties. Good cast, with Sam Rockwell and Saiorse Ronan particularly decent. Easy and entertaining watch 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Aftersun (Charlotte Wells) - Good film well done, good performances from the two leads Jeannette: L'enfance de Jeanne d'Arc (Bruno Dumont) - Enjoyed it, loved the choreography for the dance sequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Took the kids to see Avatar 2: Way Of The Water and whilst the plot was typically bobbins it was a decent (if a very long) film and visually impressive.

useless Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Grand Hotel (Edmund Goulding) - First film with an all-star cast, interesting curiosity of a film. Holiday (George Cukor) - Wonderful, Katharine Hepburn super cool, Cary Grant great in his role too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Glass Onion pretty disappointing sadly. Its fine, but not a patch on the original. Suffered from having too much budget, felt bloated and indulgent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) Watched 'Mothering Sunday' (2021) last night on Netflix. Kind of Upstairs Downstairs meets Downton Abbey. Before the VT massive scoffs, I should add that the lead (Odessa Young) spends most of the film naked.
