What film did you watch last night?

Watched Frankenstein and really enjoyed it.
Well acted and great cinematography.
I think it is the best adaption of the story i have seen.
8.5/10

Not last night but a few over the last few days

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey - More one for the Mrs but still quite an interesting premise, didn't quite pull it off but A for effort and doing something different in a world of sequels/remakes and more than watchable. i might be unique with this but got a bit of The Wristcutters vibe from this
Good Boy - Fair play to whoever trained the dog in this, the dog was really good, as for the rest of it, well it was rather poor, some of the editing/story telling was really bad. Not really sure what they were aiming for with this one.
Eden - Jude Law seems to be getting a bit of a renaissance of late, based on a true story to some degree, probably one of the better films ive watched of late and left me wanting to look into the premise of the film.

The dog was just the co-writer/director's own pet dog, so no formal acting training . It was filmed over the span of 3 years and a total of 400 filming days. His journey to make this is interesting.

It was also the director's debut with his only experience being an online course. The film was also produced by his wife.

I have been following this for a while as I got really intrigued by the film when I heard about it.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

The first Bond I saw at the cinema and is probably my favourite. Although it still follows the tried and tested Bond format, it seemed a big step up from all of the previous films and makes rewatching today a bit less dated. The Lotus is the best Bond gadget to-date, the opening sequence is still impressive with the best use of the Bond theme and Jaws is a great henchman.

Although I do think that if I ever fancy watching a Bond in isolation then I'd probably choose Casino Royale or Skyfall.

7/10

I was with you all the way until you said you would watch DC over any other Bond movie; i was sick a little in my mouth.
 
Frankenstein (2025)

My wife enjoyed it far more than I did. I thought it was a bit boring, all style and no substance. That's partly down to knowing the story so well and del Toro not doing enough to not be like previous adaptations. If it's the first time you've seen a Frankenstein movie then it's probably the best of the lot, but it didn't do anything for me.

4/10

Tremors!
Absolute classic, a lot more cheese than I remember from when I was a very much younger but really enjoyed revisiting it! 8/10

Ah I love this film :p

I think Kevin Bacon pretty much disowns his role in it for some reason, but I think it's great. Plenty of cheese as you say, but it never takes itself seriously. Great fun :D
 
not last night but over the weekend I watched ET . my mum had been wanting to watch it with my lad for a while now. he is 9.
obviously everyone here will have seen that one. my lad was not really interested so we blackmailed him.

he wanted to watch Sketch.... a slightly inappropriate film for his age but we said he could watch it if he watched ET with his grandma and didn't complain.

Sketch is ok. a slightly amusing family "horror" film probably aimed at tweens rather than 9 year olds but worth a watch.

about a girl who has had a traumatic loss and is also at that age..... and draws horrifying pictures in a sketchbook to try to get to grips with her feelings.
unfortunately the pictures come to life.

That's fair enough, it really shows it wasn't the most professional of productions but I'll give them a pass considering its their debut film. There is the bones for a good horror there. Its rare I say this but it could have done with being slightly longer to allow it to bridge the gaps in the story better. But for a passion project its on the better side.
Bonus point for not relying on jump scares.
 
Fantastic Four (2025) - gave it a 6/10 (5 being average), better than I was expecting (and better than the below average previous F4 outings). They tried to keep with the 1960s comic feel and that worked well, could have done with some tweaks (I think the back story with the mole etc was a bit fast).

Could do with some Doomlord, Dan Dare and The Trooper plots into films too.
