What film did you watch last night?

Trying to watch rebel moon.
But it really is as bad as reviews.

Especially the characters/acting.

Total garbage. No depth to any characters at all.

I laughed way more than I should have at this movie.

Especially the villager’s tactic of abandoning decent cover to run towards the enemy across open ground just as the battle appeared to be going their way.

Level of Bobbins: Absolute.
 
Flight Risk 3/10

Saw a few people mention it here. Didn't even watch the trailer so went in semi blind.

Worst Mark Wahlberg film I've ever watched, worst film I've seen this year and last year!

I turned off about 20 minutes before the end as I stopped caring what happened...

I don't think this is true, and don't forget that there's a hell of a lot of CGI in modern movies that you don't even notice. The problem is what they choose to do with CGI, and how they choose to integrate it into the movie: it's far too easy to use it to create completely unreal feeling environments and actions. Freed from the constraints of physical props, it's far too common to create stuff that just looks awful. Meanwhile, too often the CGI team are thrown the already recorded footage and told to make it good in too short a timeframe and too little input. With practical effects they have to work it how before hand and plan the shots around it, with CGI they can film it and hope. Done well, CGI is capable of looking much better than practical effects.

The biggest problem with modern CGI is overuse. There's just way too much of it on the screen at once. It ends up just looking like a ps5 game. Subtly used, CGI is a great tool. Unfortunately there's just not enough talented people around these days to know how to use it properly. Also add in the sheer number of reshoots films have, meaning the CGI is hastily being redone.

Paddington in Peru - 5/10

Disappointing, didn’t raise a chuckle at any point in the film. I’d rate the first Paddington film 9/10 and the second a solid 10/10.

Agree, the first 2 are underrated, brilliant films. Was hoping this third outing would be of similar quality, but looks like bit of a cash-grab sadly.

I think the 2nd was given the claim of being the best sequel ever (hmm, maybe by Rotten Tomatoes) so I don't know if it could be said it was underrated? :cool:

Should have clarified, was talking about box-office performance, the second only did $280mil worldwide. It seems criminally low for one of the best films of its type ever.
 
Leave The World Behind. My wife put it on, I was slightly miffed at what looked like a Julia Roberts thriller. Enjoyed the concept and parts of the film but it got incredibly frustrating and a bit silly by the end.
 
It's What's Inside - Netflix body swap drama. At 1st I thought it was low budget and had a very indie feel to it, it grew on me quickly and I liked the way it kept me interested. Afaik a pretty unique theme/idea (I know body swap movies aren't but the way it was done here might be), harmless fluff, liked it, 8/10.
 
The Grey (2011)

A survival thriller with Liam Neeson which is actually pretty good. A lot better than some of his other films set in a cold climate (The Ice Road and Cold Pursuit)

6/10
 
The Gorge - 6.5 / 10

Quite watchable and enjoyable, the 2 leads were what made the film tbh, as I found the whole premise a bit silly and full of holes.

Nekrotronic - 5.5 / 10

Lowish budget Aussie horror/sci-fi. It was alright for what it was, though it felt like it stole a lot of tropes from many types of film in this genre - from Ghostbusters, The Frightners etc. The dialogue wasn't great and what dragged it firmly into B-movie territory.

Ghost World (2001)

Whatever happened to Thora Birch? Fancied a rewatch of this and forgot how scummy the pair were at the start. Buscemi always watchable.

Just did a search and she's been in a few things since Ghost World but not much really. The Walking Dead was really the last time I have seen her and not heard of any of the films or TV she did since 2001.
 
Trouble with the curve 8/10

Only seen a few movies about American sports, this one the sports takes the background as the focus is a father and daughters fractured relationship.
 
When Harry Met Sally (1989)

Yet another film I should've seen by now but haven't. As I've said before, romantic comedies aren't my thing at all. But, strangely, my wife hadn't seen it either, so we gave it a go. It's actually very good in a lot of ways. The writing is great and so is the acting, it's just not as funny as it might have been back when it was new. Still very watchable today and done a dusted in around 90 minutes.

6.5/10
 
Nosferatu - Very good. I felt they really tried to keep the feel of a 100 year old film. A few niggles, his boss was a wasted character and only seemed to be around to get a slap from Orlock. In fact the main characters really did nothing at all to solve the problem! But very good, 8/10.
 
The Monkey (2025) - 6/10

A family drama with supernatural horror and plenty of stylish camera work and 70’s style (even though it was set in the late 90’s and present day).

The slower pace really could have done with more atmosphere and building up of the tension to make it more interesting rather than just relying on shots of the iconic Monkey, but it’s still an entertaining film with plenty of gratuitous gore and dark humour.

Good acting performances and a refreshingly blunt take on death, it's hard not to see the author in this work.
