What film did you watch last night?

Ong-Bak - 5/10

Some good fights but the story is daft.

Saw 4 - 6/10

Better than I thought it would be.

Contact - 7/10

An enjoyable, slow burner of a film. Didn't enjoy the last quarter as much.
 
Last Night In Soho 8/10 Good horror movie with great soundtrack of 60s music and some great acting. I can never get over how stunning Anya Taylor-Joy is.
 
The Roses 2025. 6.5/10

Dark comedy. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, Brits in USA , failing marriage. Every cliché British and USA stereotype you can imagine. Semi funny in parts but I found it grating /annoying AF. Not a laugh out loud comedy, just a smirker.
 
I watched Alice in Wonderland 1966 version on one of the old film channels on Sky. It was actually a BBC TV play directed by Jonathon Miller I wasn't aware existed before. Was very surreal compared to any other version of the story I've seen and had a star studded cast of the British talent of that time, the likes of Peter Sellars, John Gielgud and Peter Cook as the Mad Hatter. And a strangely morose unknown girl as Alice, who apparently this was her first gig and she never did anything else after. I'd give it 6/10 for the ad libs that Peter Cook and Peter Sellars added in, which apparently annoyed Jonathon Miller at the time.
 
Over the weekend
"The Roses" - quite enjoyable, a funny story and reasonably well acted, 7/10.. the ending I thought was quite poignant.. unlike,
"A house of dynamite" - Dross, 3/10, mainly as the script/execution absolutely did not pull off the (oh so) predictable ending, which makes it a film I wish you could sue for hours of your life you'll never get back.

Watched National Treasure last night, i am a sucker for historical/mystery movies, bit cheesy in places but i enjoyed it. 5.5/10
 
The original Tron 7/10
watched this with mum in the run-up to watching the most recent film that is out
I'm not quite sure how to review this, given that it was released in 1982..
..but, well, in 1982 the film must have been amazeballs to watch, but I'm not really sure that it aged very well
The closest that I can come is to say that in today's world, the movie is quaint, the story is alright, and it holds a lot of the past terminology and stereotypes. as You can imagine, it was good to be reminded of who Tron actually was,
The big corp dude has an amazing desk in it, and the female is okay, for 1982, I guess! 7/10,
would have been 8/10 if mum hadn't have fallen asleep


end of line.

But it's a classic —kinda have to imagine what it would be like watching and listening to it as a younger, full-of-wonder person. Did you watch the director's final cut, or just the original? I watched the director's cut after reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheeprecently, just to see how good it was compared to the book. It's not as good as the book, sadly but they changed the androids into genetically engineered humans in the film, which is alright. Still, a lot less edgy, there is more in the director's cut to make you wonder about the sideline plot of is Deckard one of themtoo? that makes the movie a whole load better imho

I have the BR set that came in the briefcase back in 2007. The final cut and the rare workprint version. So many extras it was on 5 discs.

The final cut really is the best version.
